The objective of camera calibration is to obtain the correlation between camera image coordinate and 3-D real world coordinate. Most calibration methods are based on the camera model which consists of physical parameters of the camera like position, orientation, focal length, etc and in this case camera calibration means the process of computing those parameters. In this research, we suggest a new approach which must be very efficient because the artificial neural network(ANN) model implicitly contains all the physical parameters, some of which are very difficult to be estimated by the existing calibration methods. Implicit camera calibration which means the process of calibrating a camera without explicitly computing its physical parameters can be used for both 3-D measurement and generation of image coordinates. As training each calibration points having different height, we can find the perspective projection point. The point can be used for reconstruction 3-D real world coordinate having arbitrary height and image coordinate of arbitrary 3-D real world coordinate. Experimental comparison of our method with well-known Tsai's 2 stage method is made to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this study, we proposed a three-dimensional (3D) scanning system based on laser-vision technique and rotary mechanism for automatic 3D model reconstruction. The proposed scanning system consists of a laser projector, a camera, and a turntable. For laser-camera calibration a new and simple method was proposed. 3D point cloud data of the surface of scanned object was fully collected by integrating extracted laser profiles, which were extracted from laser stripe images, corresponding to rotary angles of the rotary mechanism. The obscured laser profile problem was also solved by adding an addition camera at another viewpoint. From collected 3D point cloud data, the 3D model of the scanned object was reconstructed based on facet-representation. The reconstructed 3D models showed effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed 3D scanning system to 3D model-based applications.

It is essential to calibrate a camera in order to recover 3-dimensional reconstruction from uncalibrated images. This paper proposes a new technique of the camera calibration using a homography between the planar patterns image taken by the camera, which is located at the three planar patterns image. Since the proposed method should be computed from the homography among the three planar patterns from a single image, it is implemented more easily and simply to recover 3D object than the conventional. Experimental results show the performances of the proposed method are the better than the conventional. We demonstrate the examples of 3D reconstruction using the proposed algorithm from image sequence.

This paper deals with an application of neural network to camera calibration with wide angle lens and 2-D range finding. Wide angle lens has an advantage of having wide view angles for mobile environment recognition ans robot eye in hand system. But, it has severe radial distortion. Multilayer neural network is used for the calibration of the camera considering lens distortion, and is trained it by error back-propagation method. MLP can map between camera image plane and plane the made by structured light. In experiments, Calibration of camers was executed with calibration chart which was printed by using laser printer with 300 d.p.i. resolution. High distortion lens, COSMICAR 4.2mm, was used to see whether the neural network could effectively calibrate camera distortion. 2-D range of several objects well be measured with laser range finding system composed of camera, frame grabber and laser structured light. The performance of 3-D range finding system was evaluated through experiments and analysis of the results.

디지털 카메라의 대중화로 인하여 ISP(Image Signal Process)에 관한 연구들이 활발히 일어나고 있으며 이와 함께 사용자들이 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 이미지 보정 어플리케이션들도 많이 개발되고 있다. 특히 AWB(Automatic White Balance) 와 Auto Exposure 는 ISP 기능 중에서도 가장 관심을 받는 분야로서 이미지나 영상의 질을 높이는데 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 3D 프로그램에서 라이팅과 카메라의 원리는 실제 카메라와 라이팅의 원리를 적용하여 만들어졌으나, 실제의 카메라에서 사용되고 있는 자동노출 기능과 AWB 기능들과 같은 전문적인 기능들은 3D 프로그램 상에서 구현되지 못하고 있다. 영상에서 색상의 보정은 색상에 대한 전문적인 지식이 있어야 가능하며, 합성프로그램에서 제공하는 기능들은 일반적인 디지털 사진을 보정하는 프로그램 방식에 비하여 복잡한 것이 사실이다. 특히 애니메이션을 공부하는 대학생들의 경우에는 애니메이션의 제작과정에 있어서 색상보정의 과정을 생략하고 렌더링과 합성과정을 거쳐서 애니메이션을 완성하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 색상보정에 사용하는 기능들을 3D 애니메이션제작 실사에서 적용 가능하게 함으로서 색상에 대한 전문적인 지식이 없는 사람이라도 쉽게 색상을 보정하여 렌더 이미지의 퀼리티를 높이는 3D 제작 파이프라인을 본 연구를 통하여 제시하고자 한다.

Tracking is one of the most important pre-required task for many application such as human-computer interaction through gesture and face recognition, motion analysis, visual servoing, augment reality, industrial assembly and robot obstacle avoidance. Recently, 3D information of object is required in realtime for many aforementioned applications. 3D tracking is difficult problem to solve because during the image formation process of the camera, explicit 3D information about objects in the scene is lost. Recently, many vision system use stereo camera especially for 3D tracking. The 3D feature based tracking(3DFBT) which is on of the 3D tracking system using stereo vision have many advantage compare to other tracking methods. If we assumed the correspondence problem which is one of the subproblem of 3DFBT is solved, the accuracy of tracking depends on the accuracy of camera calibration. However, The existing calibration method based on accurate camera model so that modelling error and weakness to lens distortion are embedded. Therefore, this thesis proposes 3D feature based tracking method using SVM which is used to solve reconstruction problem.

This paper presents a 3D object recognition method for generation of 3D environmental map or obstacle recognition of mobile robots. An active light source projects a stripe pattern of light onto the object surface, while the camera observes the projected pattern from its offset point. The system consists of a laser unit and a camera on a pan/tilt device. The line segment in 2D camera image implies an object surface plane. The scaling, filtering, edge extraction, object extraction and line thinning are used for the enhancement of the light stripe image. We can get faithful depth informations of the object surface from the line segment interpretation. The performance of the proposed method has demonstrated in detail through the experiments for varies type objects. Experimental results show that the method has a good position accuracy, effectively eliminates optical noises in the image, greatly reduces memory requirement, and also greatly cut down the image processing time for the 3D object recognition compared to the conventional object recognition.

A 3D camera-based on-site work-related musculoskeletal disorder risk assessment(WMDs) tool has been developed. The device consists of Kinect a 3D camera manufactured by Microsoft, a servo-motor, and a mobile robot. To complement inherent narrow field of view(FOV) of Kinect, Kinect is rotated according to PID servo-control algorithm by a servo-motor attached underneath, to track movement of a subject, producing skeleton-based motion data. With servo-control, full 360 degrees tracking of a test subject is possible by single Kinect. It was found from experimental tests that the proposed device can be successfully employed for on-site WMDs risk assessing tool.

Video mosaicing techniques have been widely used in virtual reality environments. Especially in GIS field, video mosaics are becoming more and more common in representing urban environments. Such applications mainly use spherical or panoramic mosaics that are based on images taken from a rotating camera around its nodal point. The viewpoint, however, is limited to location within a small area. On the other hand, 2D-mosaics, which are based on images taken from a translating camera, can acquire data in wide area. The 2D-mosaics still have some problems : it can‘t be applied to images taken from a rotational camera in large angle. To compensate those problems , we proposed a novel method for creating video mosaics in 3D space. The proposed algorithm consists of 4 steps: feature -based optical flow detection, camera orientation, 2D-image projection, and image registration in 3D space. All of the processes are fully automatic and successfully implemented and tested with real images.

최근 3차원 분야의 지속적인 발전으로 인해 보다 사실적이고 실감나는 영상을 경험할 수 있게 되었고 게임과 같은 다양한 응용분야에서 활용가능하게 되었다. 특히 가상환경에서의 객체들과 상호작용하며 이를 제어하는 증강현실 분야에 많은 발전을 가져왔다. 본 연구는 한 대의 카메라를 활용한 가상 양시점화 방법을 통해 3차원 공간의 객체를 제어하는 3차원 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 이를 위해 임의의 두 카메라 위치 사이의 변환 정보를 담고 있는 호모그래피(homography) 행렬을 계산하고, 한 대의 카메라에서 얻은 2차원 손 좌표, 호모그래피 행렬 그리고 카메라의 투영행렬을 이용하여 3차원 좌표의 복원을 수행한다. 이러한 방법을 통해 보다 정확하고 빠른 3차원 정보를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 이는 두 대의 카메라를 동시에 구동할 때보다 연산량이 감소하여 실시간 처리에 효과적일 수 있으며 경제적인 부담도 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.
