Recently, the use of image stitching technology has been increasing as the number of contents based on virtual reality increases. Image Stitching is a method for matching multiple images to produce a high resolution image and a wide field of view image. The image stitching is used in various fields beyond the limitation of images generated from one camera. Image Stitching detects feature points and corresponding points to match multiple images, and calculates the homography among images using the RANSAC algorithm. Generally, corresponding points are needed for calculating conversion relation. However, the corresponding points include various types of noise that can be caused by false assumptions or errors about the conversion relationship. This noise is an obstacle to accurately predict the conversion relation. Therefore, RANSAC algorithm is used to construct an accurate conversion relationship from the outliers that interfere with the prediction of the model parameters because matching methods can usually occur incorrect correspondence points. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that extracts more accurate inliers and computes accurate transformation relations by using correspondence point relation information used in RANSAC algorithm. The correspondence point relation information uses distance ratio between corresponding points used in image matching. This paper aims to reduce the processing time while maintaining the same performance as RANSAC.

The aim of this paper is the improvement of identification performance and the reduction of computational quantities in the face recognition system based on SIFT-Grid. Firstly, we propose a composition method of integrated template by removing similar SIFT keypoints and blending different keypoints in variety training images of one face class. The integrated template is made up of computation of similarity matrix and threshold-based histogram from keypoints in a same sub-region which divided by applying SIFT-Grid of training images. Secondly, we propose a computation method of similarity for identify of test image from composed integrated templates efficiently. The computation of similarity is performed that a test image to compare one-on-one with the integrated template of each face class. Then, a similarity score and a threshold-voting score calculates according to each sub-region. In the experimental results of face recognition tasks, the proposed methods is founded to be more accurate than both two other methods based on SIFT-Grid, also the computational quantities are reduce.

The purpose of this paper is the development of a compensation algorithm by which the interoperability of fingerprint recognition can be improved among various different fingerprint sensor. In order to compensate for the different characteristics of fingerprint sensor, an initial evaluation of the sensors using both the ink-stamped method and the flat artificial finger pattern method was undertaken. This paper proposes Common resolution method and Relative resolution method for compensating different resolution of fingerprint images captured by disparate sensors. Both methods can be applied to image-level and minutia-level. In order to compensate the direction of minutiae in minutia-level, Unit vector method is proposed. The EER of the proposed method was improved by average 64.8% better than before compensation. This paper will make a significant contribution to interoperability in the system integration using different sensors.

Geometric transform of an image is used to image correction. Ridid-Body, Simlilary transform, etc, many correction methods are exist in computer vision. Image warping is used to correction for image with perspective. To image warping I extracted 4 feature point about warping position. But It is difficult to extract 4 points accurately and warping result with these point is occurs error over 3 or 4 pixel at warping position. So I used template matching to extract 4 points correctly and selected repeatedly 2 points of 4 points because to confirm result correctly. positions of 2 points are changed in near of 3 by 3 pixel and warped each change. So I selected optimal 4 points with a error of less than 1 pixel and finally, warped image using optimal points. For this way is possible to obtain optimum result.

Panorama image is a single image obtained by combining images taken at several viewpoints through matching of corresponding points. Existing panoramic image generation methods that find the corresponding points are extracting local invariant feature points in each image to create descriptors and using descriptor matching algorithm. In the case of video sequence, frames may be a lot, so therefore it may costs significant amount of time to generate a panoramic image by the existing method and it may has done unnecessary calculations. In this paper, we propose a method to quickly create a single panoramic image from a video sequence. By assuming that there is no significant changes between frames of the video such as in locally, we use the FAST algorithm that has good repeatability and high-speed calculation to extract feature points and the Lucas-Kanade algorithm as each feature point to track for find the corresponding points in surrounding neighborhood instead of existing descriptor matching algorithms. When homographies are calculated for all images, homography is changed around the center image of video sequence to warp images and obtain a planar panoramic image. Finally, the spherical panoramic image is obtained by performing inverse transformation of the spherical coordinate system. The proposed method was confirmed through the experiments generating panorama image efficiently and more faster than the existing methods.

The segment matching method shows better performance than the global and points-based methods to compare reference signature with an input signature. However, the segment-to-segment matching method has the problem of decreasing recognition rate according to the variation of partitioning points. This paper proposes a fusion model based on the segment matching and HMM to construct a more reliable authentic system. First, a segment matching classifier is designed by conventional technique to calculate matching values lot dynamic information of signatures. And also, a novel HMM classifier is constructed by using the principal component analysis to calculate matching values for static information of signatures. Finally, SVM classifier is adopted to effectively combine two independent classifiers. From the various experiments, we find that the proposed method shows better performance than the conventional segment matching method.

In this paper, we propose an obstacle detection method that can operate robustly even in external environmental factors such as weather. In particular, we propose an obstacle detection system that can accurately inform dangerous situations in AR through DB-based feature matching and RANSAC-based multiplane method. Since the approach to detecting obstacles based on images obtained by RGB cameras relies on images, the feature detection according to lighting is inaccurate, and it becomes difficult to detect obstacles because they are affected by lighting, natural light, or weather. In addition, it causes a large error in detecting obstacles on a number of planes generated due to complex terrain. To alleviate this problem, this paper efficiently and accurately detects obstacles regardless of lighting through DB-based feature matching. In addition, a criterion for classifying feature points is newly calculated by normalizing multiple planes to a single plane through RANSAC. As a result, the proposed method can efficiently detect obstacles regardless of lighting, natural light, and weather, and it is expected that it can be used to secure user safety because it can reliably detect surfaces in high and low or other terrains. In the proposed method, most of the experimental results on mobile devices reliably recognized indoor/outdoor obstacles.

지문인식 분야는 크게 분류(classification)와 정합 (matching)으로 나누어져 연구되어왔다. 분류는 일반적으로 와상문, 궁상문, 솟은궁상문, 오른쪽제상문, 왼쪽제상문 등의 5종류로 분류되며, 지문이 어떤 분류에 속하는지 구별하여 특정인의 지문 형태를 결정하여 주는 작업으로 대형 데이터베이스에서 인덱스로 사용되어 검색시간 단축과 매칭의 정확도를 높여준다. 본 논문에서는 지문 분류에서 품질이 나쁜 이미지는 분류를 위한 특이점 (핵 과 삼각점)의 검술이 어려운 점을 감안하여 방향성과 주파수 선택력이 강한 Gabor 필터의 특징을 이용한 지문 분류 방법으로 지문 분류의 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 실험을 통하여 이를 증명한다.
