Human visual system infers 3D vision through stereo disparity in the stereoscopic images, and stereo visioning are recently being used in consumer electronics which has resulted in much research in the application field. Basically, stereo vision system consists of four processes, which are cost computation, cost aggregation, disparity calculation, and disparity refinement. In this paper, we present and evaluate the existing various methods, focusing on cost aggregation for stereo vision system to comparatively analyze the performance of their algorithms for a given set of resources. Experiments show that Normalized Cross Correlation and Zero-Mean Normalized Cross Correlation provide higher accuracy, however they are computationally heavy for embedded system in the real time systems. Sum of Absolute Difference and Sum of Squared Difference are more suitable selection for embedded system, but they should be required on improvement to apply to the real world system.

본 논문에서는 안드로이드 운영체제 기반 스마트폰에서 Camera Preview를 이용하여 실시간으로 3D 입체영상을 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 3D 입체영상은 2D 영상에 깊이감을 부여하여 시청시에 입체감을 느낄 수 있도록 변환한 영상이다. 그러나 모바일 단말기에서는 이러한 3D 입체영상을 생성하더라도 하드웨어의 제약으로 인해 사용자가 만족할만한 성능을 구현하는데 어려움이 있다. 먼저 안드로이드 운영체제에서 카메라를 사용하기 위한 구성 및 방법에 대해서 설명하고, 그에 따른 3D 입체변환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법에서는 단말기의 성능에 맞는 우수한 결과를 생성하기 위한 에지 추출, 깊이맵 생성 방법을 분석하고, 획득한 깊이맵을 기반으로 하여 좌영상과 우영상을 생성한다. 최종적으로 획득한 두 영상을 병합하여 화면에 Display한다.

Stereoscopic/autostereoscopic systems have been developed to express 3D images, but have not been successfully use in practise. In order to apply 3D display to promising applications such as advertisements and games, we developed a 42" 2D/3D switchable display. It has characteristics that do not require special glasses for 3D images, uses multi-view technology for improving 3D viewing characteristics, and has a 2D/3D switching function to express dynamic 3D contents as well as conventional 2D contents.

일반적으로 CG 합성이라 하면 '자연스러운' 것을 잘된 CG영상이라고 한다. 이 때 촬영된 영상이 정지화면 일 수 만은 없다. 카메라가 움직이는 영상에서는 CG합성도 실사카메라 무빙에 맞게 정확한 정합이 되어야 자연스러운 영상이 된다. 이를 위해 합성단계에서 작업할 때 3D 카메라 트래킹 기술이 필요하다. 카메라트래킹은 촬영된 실사영상만으로 카메라의 3차원 이동정보와 광학적 파라미터 등 촬영시의 3차원 공간을 복원하는 과정을 포함하고 있다. 이 과정에서 카메라 트래킹에 대한 오류의 발생으로 실사와 CG의 합성에 대한 생산성에 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 소프트웨어에서 트래킹데이터를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다.

3D 모니터의 공급으로 IT영역 및 의료영상 분야 에서도 3D 영상에 관한 산업 발달이 화두가 되고 있다. 의료영상은 CT, MRI 영상의 정확한 판독이 필요하기 때에 2D 의료영상보다 구체적인 3D 정보를 얻을 수 있는 3D 입체영상에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3D 의료 촬영기계가 아닌 기존의 2D 의료 평면 영상 한 장만을 이용한 3D 입체영상을 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 영상으로 CT의 2D 의료영상을 사용한다. 장기의 영역 분할을 한후, 각 장기 성분을 분석한다. 분리 한 장기들은 명암값에 의해 구분 되며, 이를 바탕으로 영상의 깊이 정보를 추출한다. 추출한 정보로 깊이맵을 작성한다. 작성된 깊이 맵과 기본 2D 의료영상과 합성, 깊이를 할당하여 3D영상을 구현한다.

We present a comprehensive catalog of 307 front-side halo (partial and full) CMEs during 2009 and 2013 observed by both SOHO and STEREO. This catalog includes 2D CME properties from single spacecraft (SOHO) as well as 3D ones from multi-spacecraft. To determine the 3D CME properties (speed, angular width, and source location), we use the STEREO CME analysis tool based on a triangulation method. In this paper, we compare between 2D and 3D CME properties, which is the first statistical comparison between them. As a result, we find that 2D speeds tend to be about 20% underestimated when compared to 3D ones. The 3D angular width ranges from $15^{\circ}$ to $109^{\circ}$, which are much smaller than the 2D angular widths with the mean value of $225^{\circ}$. We also find that a ratio between 2D and 3D angular width decreases with central meridian distance. The 3D source locations from the triangulation method are similar to the flare locations. The angular width-speed relationship in 3D is much stronger than that in 2D.

Recently, the virtual view generation method using depth data is employed to support the advanced stereoscopic and auto-stereoscopic displays. Although depth data is invisible to user at 3D video rendering, its accuracy is very important since it determines the quality of generated virtual view image. Many works are related to such depth enhancement exploiting a time-of-flight (TOF) camera. In this paper, we propose a fast 3D scene capturing system using one TOF camera at center and two high-resolution cameras at both sides. Since we need two depth data for both color cameras, we obtain two views' depth data from the center using the 3D warping technique. Holes in warped depth maps are filled by referring to the surrounded background depth values. In order to reduce mismatches of object boundaries between the depth and color images, we used the joint bilateral filter on the warped depth data. Finally, using two color images and depth maps, we generated 10 additional intermediate images. To realize fast capturing system, we implemented the proposed system using multi-threading technique. Experimental results show that the proposed capturing system captured two viewpoints' color and depth videos in real-time and generated 10 additional views at 7 fps.

Depth-image-based rendering is generally used in real-time 2D-to-3D conversion for 3DTV. However, inaccurate depth maps cause flickering issues between image frames in a video sequence, resulting in eye fatigue while viewing 3DTV. To resolve this flickering issue, we propose a new 2D-to-3D conversion scheme based on fast and robust depth-map generation from a 2D video sequence. The proposed depth-map generation algorithm divides an input video sequence into several cuts using a color histogram. The initial depth of each cut is assigned based on a hypothesized depth-gradient model. The initial depth map of the current frame is refined using color and motion information. Thereafter, the depth map of the next frame is updated using the difference image to reduce depth flickering. The experimental results confirm that the proposed scheme performs real-time 2D-to-3D conversions effectively and reduces human eye fatigue.

In general, stereo images are widely used to remote sensing or photogrametric applications for the purpose of image understanding and feature extraction or cognition. However, the most cases of these stereo-based application deal with 2-D satellite images or the airborne photos so that its main targets are generation of small-scaled or large-scaled DEM(Digital Elevation Model) or DSM(Digital Surface Model), in the 2.5-D. Contrast to these previous approaches, the scope of this study is to investigate 3-D stereo processing and visualization of true geo-referenced 3-D features based on anaglyph technique, and the aim is at the prototype development for stereo visualization system of complex typed 3-D GIS features. As for complex typed 3-D features, the various kinds of urban landscape components are taken into account with their geometric characteristics and attributes. The main functions in this prototype are composed of 3-D feature authoring and modeling along with database schema, stereo matching, and volumetric visualization. Using these functions, several technical aspects for migration into actual 3-D GIS application are provided with experiment results. It is concluded that this result will contribute to more specialized and realistic applications by linking 3-D graphics with geo-spatial information.
