본 논문에서는 단안 카메라를 이용하여 획득한 여러 장의 영상으로부터 입체영상을 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. 수평으로 이동하며 촬영한 N 장의 프레임 영상중에서 최적의 좌우 입체영상을 먼저 선택한다. 이를 위해 영상의 에지를 추출한 후 에지의 방향을 이용하여 두 영상의 에지각의 차이인 회전각을 구한다. 또한 영상 투영을 통해 두 영상의 상관관계를 구한 후, 이를 이용하여 이동벡터를 얻는다. 다음으로 최적의 입체영상 두 장을 선택한 후, 회전각 및 이동벡터를 이용하여 선택된 좌우영상을 보정한다. 총 32장의 실험영상데이터에 제안방법을 적용하였고, 입체영상의 품질을 검증하기 위해서 주관적 시각적 피로도 평가를 수행하였다. 피로도 측면에서는 84 %의 안정적인 입체감을 전달하는 것을 증명하였다.

본 논문의 목적은 자율주행을 위하여 카메라와 라이다를 이용하여 객체를 검출하고 각 센서에서 검출된 객체를 late fusion 방식으로 융합을 하여 성능을 향상하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 카메라를 이용한 객체 검출은 one-stage 검출인 YOLOv3을, 검출된 객체의 거리 추정은 perspective matrix를, 라이다의 객체 검출은 K-means 군집화 기반 객체 검출을 각각 이용하였다. 카메라와 라이다 calibration은 PnP-RANSAC을 이용하여 회전, 변환 행렬을 구하였다. 센서 융합은 라이다에서 검출된 객체를 이미지 평면에 옮겨 Intersection over union(IoU)을 계산하고, 카메라에서 검출된 객체를 월드 좌표에 옮겨 거리, 각도를 계산하여 IoU, 거리 그리고 각도 세 가지 속성을 로지스틱 회귀를 이용하여 융합을 하였다. 융합을 통하여 각 센서에서 검출되지 않은 객체를 보완해주어 성능이 약 5% 증가하였다.

A new control method far vision-based autonomous vehicle is proposed to determine navigation direction by analyzing lane information from a camera and to navigate a vehicle. In this paper, characteristic featured data points are extracted from lane images using a lane recognition algorithm. Then the vehicle is controlled using new Levenberg-Marquardt neural network algorithm. To verify the usefulness of the algorithm, another algorithm, which utilizes the geometric relation of a camera and vehicle, is introduced. The second one involves transformation from an image coordinate to a vehicle coordinate, then steering is determined from Ackermann angle. The steering scheme using Ackermann angle is heavily depends on the correct geometric data of a vehicle and a camera. Meanwhile, the proposed neural network algorithm does not need geometric relations and it depends on the driving style of human driver. The proposed method is superior than other referenced neural network algorithms such as conjugate gradient method or gradient decent one in autonomous lateral control .

Autonomous vehicles equipped with cameras, such as robots, fork lifts, or cars, can be found frequently in industry sites or usual life. Those cameras show planar motion because the vehicles usually move on a plane. Sometimes the cameras in fork lifts moves vertically. The cameras under planar and vertical motion provides useful properties for horizontal or vertical lines that can be found easily and frequently in our daily life. In this paper, some useful back-projection properties are suggested, which can be applied to horizontal or vertical line images captured by a camera under planar and vertical motion. The line images are back-projected onto a virtual plane that is parallel to the planar motion plane and has the same orientation at the camera coordinate system regardless of camera motion. The back-projected lines on the virtual plane provide useful information for the world lines corresponding to the back-projected lines, such as line direction, angle between two horizontal lines, length ratio of two horizontal lines, and vertical line direction. Through experiments with simple plane polygons, we found that the back-projection properties were useful for estimating correctly the direction and the angle for horizontal and vertical lines.

Recently various types of driver assistance systems have been used for automobiles. In 2008, the U.S Congress passed a law which required that most cars be equipped with devices to warn objects behind the vehicle. Because of that, market of rear view cameras is expected to rise dramatically. Therefore many suppliers try to provide a wide angle camera for car makers. But a high distortion is caused by the wide angle might result in lower image quality. In order to improve the image quality, normally we use an algorithm to correct a distortion. Though we can improve the distorted image by correction algorithm, we must pay more cost to use it. In this paper, we propose a new optical system reducing a distortion in contrast to a conventional lens without cost. In other words, we can see only an area of interest. That is similar to reducing a field of view. Using a new optical system, we can get a less distorted image. In order to view an area of interest, we introduce an off axis optical system having refractive surfaces and reflective surfaces. In this paper, we describe the results of design and, evaluation of an off axis wide angle compact imaging system. In comparison to conventional wide angle lens, we can get the improvement of MTF, distortion, and lateral color aberrations. And we also can reduce a total cost because we don't need the outer apparatus or bracket to mount on the car.

In this study, the theoretical resolution analysis of an active vision system using laser range finder is performed for surrounding recognition and 3D data acquisition in unknown environment. In the result, the resolution of range data in laser range finder is depend on the distance between lens center of CCD camera and light emitter, view angle, beam angle, and parameters of CCD camera. The theoretical resolutions of the laser range finders of various types which are based on parameters effected resolution are calculated and experimental results are obtained in real system.

The objective of this study is to investigate experimentally atomization characteristics for differently made an ultrasonic twin-fluid nozzle. A spray system, an ultrasonic system, and three different type(Nozzle type, Tube type, Conventional type)are made and tested by applied with ultrasonic energy. In this investigation, the measurement and calculation of spray droplet are to analyze the effects of ultrasonic energy on the agricultural atomization system. Through the measurement of suray angle, spray column using, high speed camera and PDA, it is found that nozzle type is highest efficiency than that of tube type and conventional type. It was found that the ultrasonic energy increased the atomization efficiency of spray droplets about 9% respectively and spray angle was wide spray.

Human recognition on camera is an interesting topic in computer vision. While fingerprint and face recognition have been become common, gait is considered as a new biometric feature for distance recognition. In this paper, we propose a gait recognition algorithm based on the knee angle, 2 feet distance, walking velocity and head direction of a person who appear in camera view on one gait cycle. The background subtraction method firstly use for binary moving object extraction and then base on it we continue detect the leg region, head region and get gait features (leg angle, leg swing amplitude). Another feature, walking speed, also can be detected after a gait cycle finished. And then, we compute the errors between calculated features and stored features for recognition. This method gives good results when we performed testing using indoor and outdoor landscape in both lateral, oblique view.

In this paper, we propose a method combining an accelerometer with a cross structured light system to estimate the golf green slope. The cross-line laser provides two laser planes whose functions are computed with respect to the camera coordinate frame using a least square optimization. By capturing the projections of the cross-line laser on the golf slope in a static pose using a camera, two 3D curves’ functions are approximated as high order polynomials corresponding to the camera coordinate frame. Curves’ functions are then expressed in the world coordinate frame utilizing a rotation matrix that is estimated based on the accelerometer’s output. The curves provide some important information of the green such as the height and the slope’s angle. The curves estimation accuracy is verified via some experiments which use OptiTrack camera system as a ground-truth reference.

In this paper, we develop the system which inspects the metal mask using area scan camera and belu type xy-table and introduce its inspection algorithm. Thes whole area of the metal mask is divides into several inspection block and the sixe of a inspection block is decided by FOV(Field of View). To compare with the camera image of each block, the reference image is made by gerber file. The ratation angle of the metal mask is calculated through the linear equation that is substituted two end points of horizontal boundary of a specific hole in a camera image for. To calculate the position error caused by belt type xy-table, hough-transform using the distances among the holes in two images os used. The center of the reference image is moved as much as the calculated position error to be coincide with the camera image ...
