This paper describes the camera calibration based-neural network with a camera modeling that accounts for major sources of camera distortion, namely, radial, decentering, and thin prism distortion. Radial distortion causes and inward or outward displacement of a given image point from its ideal location. Actual optical systems are subject to various degrees of decentering, that is, the optical centers of lens elements are not strictly collinear. Thin prism distortion arises from imperfection in lens design and manufacturing as well as camera assembly. It is our purpose to develop the vision system for the pattern recognition and the automatic test of parts and to apply the line of manufacturing. The performance of proposed camera calibration is illustrated by simulation and experiment.

This paper presents a new approach to the calibration of a SCARA robot orientation with a camera modeling that accounts for major sources of camera distortion, namely, radial, decentering, and thin prism distortion. Radial distortion causes an inward or outward displacement of a given image point from its ideal location. Actual optical systems are subject to various degrees of decentering, that is, the optical centers of lens elements are not strictly collinear. Thin prism distortion arises from imperfection in lens design and manufacturing as well as camera assembly.

Camera calibration is an important and fundamental procedure for the application of a vision sensor to 3D problems. Recently many camera calibration methods have been proposed particularly in the area of robot vision. However, the reliability of data used in calibration has been seldomly considered in spite of its importance. In addition, a camera model can not guarantee good results consistently in various conditions. This paper proposes methods to overcome such uncertainty problems of data and camera models as we often encounter them in practical camera calibration steps. By the use of the RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) algorithm, few data having excessive magnitudes of errors are excluded. Artificial neural networks combined in a two-step structure are trained to compensate for the result by a calibration method of a particular model in a given condition. The proposed methods are useful because they can be employed additionally to most existing camera calibration techniques if needed. We applied them to a linear camera calibration method and could get improved results.

Many automobile manufacturers are doing experiment on manufacturing environments by using an augmented reality technology. However, system layout and process simulation by using the virtual reality technology have been performed actively more than by using the augmented reality technology in practical use so far. Existing automobile assembly by using the augmented reality requires the precise calibrating work after setting the robot because the existing augmented reality system for the automobile assembly system configuration does not include the end tip deflection and the robot joints deflection due to the heavy weight of product and gripper. Because the robot is used mostly at the automobile assembly, the deflection problem of the robot joint and the product in the existing augmented reality system need to be improved. Moreover camera lens calibration has to be performed precisely to use augmented reality. In order to improve this problem, this paper introduces a method of the software based calibration to apply the augmented reality effectively to the automobile assembly system. On the other hand, the camera lens calibration module and the direct compensation module of the virtual object displacement for the augmented reality were designed and implemented. Furthermore, the developed automobile assembly system oriented AR-system was verified by the practical test.

줌렌즈 카메라 보정은 매우 중요하고 적어도 두 가지 면에서 어려운 문제이다. 첫 번째는 실시간의 변화에 따라 카메라 내부 파라미터의 보정이고 두번째는 단일 렌즈 시스템의 핀홀모델은 줌렌즈시스템이 바로 적용하기가 어렵다. 그래서 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제의 일부분을 렌즈의 굴절현상, 초점 거리의 보정과 모델링, 확대에 관한 중요한 원리들뿐만 아니라 실제적으로 유용한 부분들을 기술하였다. 컴퓨터에 의해 제어되는 줌, 초점, 그리고 구경들의 실험결과가 제시되어있다.

최근 비약적인 기술발전을 통해 8,000만 화소급 디지털 카메라가 등장했으며, 비측량용 디지털 카메라가 사진 측량 분야에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 항공사진과 지상기준점을 이용하여 렌즈 캘리브레이션을 수행하였다. 항공사진은 35mm 렌즈가 장착된 CMOS 2,110만 화소급 비측량용 디지털 카메라를 헬리콥터에 설치하여 취득하였고, 지상기준점은 1:1,000 도화원도에서 선점하였다. 그 결과 렌즈에 대한 초점거리, PPA, 방사왜곡계수를 계산할 수 있었다. 또한 렌즈 캘리브레이션 전후에 항공삼각측량을 수행하여 지상기준점의 평균제곱근오차와 최대 잔차를 비교하였으며, 캘리브레이션 후 정확도가 매우 큰 폭으로 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

With 3-D vision measuring, camera calibration is necessary to calculate parameters accurately. Camera calibration was developed widely in two categories. The first establishes reference points in space, and the second uses a grid type frame and statistical method. But, the former has difficulty to setup reference points and the latter has low accuracy. In this paper we present an algorithm for camera calibration using perspective ratio of the grid type frame with different line widths. It can easily estimate camera calibration parameters such as lens distortion, focal length, scale factor, pose, orientations, and distance. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can estimate the distance of the object. Also, the proposed camera calibration method is possible estimate distance in dynamic environment such as autonomous navigation. To validate proposed method, we set up the experiments with a frame on rotator at a distance of 1, 2, 3, 4[m] from camera and rotate the frame from -60 to 60 degrees. Both computer simulation and real data have been used to test the proposed method and very good results have been obtained. We have investigated the distance error affected by scale factor or different line widths and experimentally found an average scale factor that includes the least distance error with each image. The average scale factor tends to fluctuate with small variation and makes distance error decrease. Compared with classical methods that use stereo camera or two or three orthogonal planes, the proposed method is easy to use and flexible. It advances camera calibration one more step from static environments to real world such as autonomous land vehicle use.

최근 이슈가 되어온 스마트폰에는 고해상도 카메라, Assisted GPS, 가속도계, 자이로스코프, 그리고 자기 계측 센서와 같이 측량에 직접 이용할 수 있는 다양한 센서들이 탑재되어 있다. 본 연구는 고해상도 영상을 제공하는 스마트폰 카메라를 검정하고 그 정확도를 평가함으로써, 사진측량에 스마트폰 영상의 활용 가능성을 제시하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 먼저, 스마트폰 카메라의 정확도 평가에 앞서 각 카메라의 렌즈 왜곡을 보정하기 위한 카메라 검정이 이루어졌고, 이 과정에서 광속조정에 의해 계산된 영상 좌표 및 대상물 좌표의 정확도를 분석하였다. 또한, 3차원 위치 결정에 있어 렌즈 왜곡 계수의 고려 유무에 따른 결과 분석이 이루어졌고, 최종적으로 측량용 카메라에 대한 스마트폰 카메라의 상대 정확도를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 스마트폰 카메라의 왜곡 보정에 있어 고차항의 방사 왜곡 계수도 고려되어야 하며, 측량용 카메라에 의한 결과와 미소한 차이를 나타내어 사진측량에 스마트폰 영상의 활용 가능성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we address practical methods for calculating camera lens distortion for real time applications. Although the lens distortion problem can be easily ignored for constant-parameter lenses, in the field of real-time camera calibrations, for zoom lenses a large number of calculations are needed to calculate the distortion. However, if the distortion can be calculated independently of the other camera parameter, we can easily calibrate a camera without the need for a large number of calculations. Based on Tsai's camera model, we propose two different methods for calculating lens distortion. These methods are so simple and require so few calculations that the lens distortion can be rapidly calculated even in real-time applications. The first method is to refer to the focal length - lens distortion Look Up Table(LUT), which is constructed in the initialization process. The second method is to use the relationship between the feature points found in the image. Experiments were carried out for both methods, results of which show that the proposed methods are favorably comparable in performance with non-real full optimization method.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 비전을 이용하는 정밀 측정 장비인 VMS(video measuring system)에서 줌을 서보 모터(servo motor)로 제어하는 자동화된 줌 렌즈를 보정하기 위한 효율적인 방법을 소개한다. VMS에서 사용하는 줌 렌즈는 초점과 조리개가 고정되어 있기 때문에 줌의 변화에 영향을 받는 이미지의 중심과 픽셀의 가로, 세로 크기에 대하여 보정한다. 줌 렌즈의 모든 줌제어 단계에 대하여, 모든 카메라 변수 값들을 계산하기 위해서는 많은 계산량과 저장공간이 필요하다. 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여, 효율적인 계산과 저장공간을 위하여 최소 단계의 줌 단계에 대한 보정으로도 모든 영역의 줌 단계에 대한 보정 값들을 계산할 수 있는 방법을 사용해서 VHS에서 효율적이고 간단한 줌 렌즈 캘리브레이션 방법을 제안한다.
