체감형 게임의 재미를 극대화 하기 위해서 몰입감있는 게임화면이 제공되어야 한다. 곡면, 반구형 스크린은 일반 평면 스크린을 사용할 때 보다 더 높은 몰입감을 줄 수 있지만 투사시 생기는 왜곡영상 보정에 많은 계산이 요구되는 문제가 있다. 정지된 영상(프리젠테이션 화면)이나 비디오 영상은 메모리 버퍼링을 통해 시스템이 요구하는 속도를 보장할 수 있으나, 사용자와 상호작용이 요구되는 게임에서는 사용자의 반응을 처리한 후 매 프레임 마다 빠른 워핑(warping) 처리를 요구하게 되는데, 렌더링될 화면을 미리 보정할 수가 없기 때문에 시스템 처리속도 저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 체감형 게임을 곡면에 투사하는 방법과 GPU를 이용한 빠른 영상 보정을 제안함으로써 게임에서 요구하는 처리 속도를 보장하고 고해상도의 게임화면을 사용할 수 있도록 했다. 웹카메라를 이용하여 스크린과 프로젝터될 영상간의 호모그래피(homographpy)를 정의해서 워핑했고 워핑 연산을 HLSL로 작성하여 GPU를 이용했다. 실험결과로 반구형 스크린에서 몰입감 있는 AR 탁구게임을 보인다.

본 시스템은 같은 환자로부터 촬영한 기존 안저영상과 초광각 안저영상을 Paired Dataset으로 지니고 있으며, 영상의 크기 및 해상도를 똑같이 맞추고, 황반부와 신경유두 및 혈관의 위치를 미세조정하는 과정을 자동화하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이 과정은 황반부를 중심으로 하여 영상을 잘라내어 이미지의 크기를 맞추는 과정(Scaling)과, 황반부를 중심으로 잘라낸 한 쌍의 영상을 포개었을 때 황반부, 신경 유두, 혈관 등의 위치가 동일하도록 미세조정하는 과정(Warping)이 있다. Scaling Stage에선 기존 안저영상과 초광각 안저영상의 촬영범위가 현저하게 차이나기 때문에, 황반변성 부위를 잘 나타내도록 사전에 잘라낼 필요가 있으며, 이를 신경유두의 Object Detection을 활용할 예정이다. Warping Stage에선 동일한 위치에 같은 황반변성 정보가 내포되어야 하므로 규격조정 및 위치조정 과정이 필수적이며, 이후 안저영상 내의 특징들을 매칭하는 작업을 하기 위해 회전, 회절, 변환 작업 등이 이루어지며, 이는 Homography Estimation을 통하여 이미지 변환 matrix를 구하는 방법으로 진행된다. 자동조정된 안저영상 데이터는 추후에 GAN을 이용한 안저영상 생성모델을 위한 학습데이터로 이용할 예정이며, 현재로선 2500쌍의 데이터를 대상으로 실험을 진행중이지만, 최종적으로 3만 쌍의 안저영상 데이터를 목표로 하고 있다.

파노라마 영상을 재구성하는 기존의 방법은 Labeling을 이용하여 객체를 비교한 후에 결합시키는 방법을 적용하였으나 시간이 많이 소요되고 각각의 이미지를 Labeling하는 과정에서 개체 간의 불일치가 발생하여 정확히 영상을 결합할 수 없는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 처리 속도 개선을 위하여 전체 이미지의 1/3만 Labeling한 후에 객체 간을 비교하여 결함시킨다. 그리고 각도가 틀린 경우에는 특징점을 찾아내는 SURF 알고리즘을 적용하여 각각의 이미지에서 Labeling한 사각형의 4개의 포인터에 대해 1개의 중심점을 구하여 Homography를 이용하여 2개의 영상을 자연스럽게 정합한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 파노라마 영상 재구성 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 다양한 이미지를 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 방법보다 영상을 재구성하는데 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 처리 속도 측면에서도 개선되었다.

This paper presents a robust method for ground plane detection in vision-based applications based on a monocular sequence of images with a non-stationary camera. The proposed method, which is based on the reliable estimation of the homography between two frames taken from the sequence, aims at designing a practical system to detect road surface from traffic scenes. The homography is computed using a feature matching approach, which often gives rise to inaccurate matches or undesirable matches from out of the ground plane. Hence, the proposed homography estimation minimizes the effects from erroneous feature matching by the evaluation of the difference between the predicted and the observed matrices. The method is successfully demonstrated for the detection of road surface performed on experiments to fill an information void area taken place from geometric transformation applied to captured images by an in-vehicle camera system.

This paper presents a novel camera tracking method based on model with multiple planes. The proposed algorithm detects QR code that is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. A 3D model is imported from the detected QR code for augmented reality application. Based on the geometric property of the model, the vertices are detected and tracked using optical flow. A clipping algorithm is applied to identify each plane from model surfaces. The proposed method estimates the homography from coplanar feature correspondences, which is used to obtain the initial camera motion parameters. After deriving a linear equation from many feature points on the model and their 3D information, we employ DLT(Direct Linear Transform) to compute camera information. In the final step, the error of camera poses in every frame are minimized with local Bundle Adjustment algorithm in real-time.

A spherical panoramic image does not conform to the pin-hole camera model, and, hence, it is not possible to utilize previous techniques consisting of plane-to-plane transformation. In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the planar geometric transformation between the planar image and a spherical panoramic image. Our proposed method estimates the transformation parameters for latitude, longitude, rotation and scaling factors when the matching pairs between a spherical panoramic image and a planar image are given. A planar image is projected into a spherical panoramic image through two steps of nonlinear coordinate transformations, which makes it difficult to compute the geometric transformation. The advantage of using our method is that we can uncover each of the implicit factors as well as the overall transformation. The experiment results show that our proposed method can achieve estimation errors of around 1% and is not affected by deformation factors, such as the latitude and rotation.

The on-site performance of a vision-based displacement measurement system (VDMS) was evaluated through a field test on a bridge. The VDMS used in this study is composed of a camera, a marker, a frame grabber, and a laptop. The system measures the displacement by attaching a marker at the location to be measured on the structure, by capturing images of that marker with a fixed rate, and by processing a series of images using a planar homography technique. The developed system was first validated from a laboratory test using a small-scale building structure. The VDMS was then employed in a field test on a railroad bridge with a KTX train running under various conditions. The on-site performance was evaluated by comparing the obtained displacement using the VDMS with the displacement measured from a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), which is an expensive and accurate displacement measurement device.

In this paper, a feature based panorama image generation algorithm using FAST(Features from Accelerated Segment Test) method that is faster than SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) is proposed. Cylindrical projection is performed to generate natural panorama images with numerous images as input. The occurred error can be minimized by applying RANSAC(Random Sample Consensus) for the matching process. When we synthesize numerous images acquired from different camera angles, we use blending techniques to compensate the distortions by the heterogeneity of border line. In that way, we could get more natural synthesized panorama image. The proposed algorithm can generate natural panorama images regardless the order of input images and tilted images. In addition, the image matching can be faster than the conventional method. As a result of the experiments, distortion was corrected and natural panorama image was generated.

In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient algorithm for head pose estimation using a single camera. First, four subimages are obtained from the camera image for face feature extraction. These subimages are used as feature templates. The templates are then tracked by Kalman filtering, and camera projective matrix is computed by the projective mapping between the templates and their coordinate in the 3D coordinate system. And the user's face pose is estimated from the projective mapping between the user's face and image plane. The accuracy and the robustness of our technique is verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences.

The Car License Plate Recognition(: CLPR) is required in searching the hit-and-run car, measuring the traffic density, investigating the traffic accidents as well as in pursuing vehicle crimes according to the increasing in number of vehicles. The captured images on the real environment of the CLPR is contaminated not only by snow and rain, illumination changes, but also by the geometrical distortion due to the pose changes between camera and car at the moment of image capturing. We propose homographic transformation and intensity histogram of vertical image projection so as to transform the distorted input to the original image and cluster the character and number, respectively. Especially, in this paper, the Multilayer Perceptron Algorithm(: MLP) in the CLPR is used to not only recognize the charcters and car license plate, but also determine the optimized ratio among the number of input, hidden and output layers by the real experimental result.
