In 2D-to-3D video conversion process, the virtual left and right view can be generated from 2D video and its corresponding depth map by depth image based rendering (DIBR). The depth map plays an important role in conversion system, so the copyright protection for depth map is necessary. However, the provided virtual views may be distributed illegally and the depth map does not directly expose to viewers. In previous works, the copyright information embedded into the depth map cannot be extracted from virtual views after the DIBR process. In this paper, a new copyright protection scheme for the depth map is proposed, in which the copyright information can be detected from the virtual views even without the depth map. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method has a good robustness against JPEG attacks, filtering and noise.

Pin-hole model has been widely used as a robust tool for easily understanding how to obtain a stereo image and how to present the depth-cue to an observer in stereoscopy. However, most of the processes to analyze depth cue in stereoscopy are performed that a stereo image is taken by camera model practically but depth cue of the image is analyzed by pin-hole model. Therefore, the result of depth cues by the process to be uncorrected. The reason of the uncorrected depth cue is led to the image distances of camera model due to variable focused object distances, and it makes a depth distortion. In this paper, we tried to show the contradiction such as occurring depth distortion in the process which the pin-hole model is used to analyze depth cue despite practical camera model is used in stereoscopy, and we presents the method to overcome the contradiction.

In this study, the effect of important parameters such as the pixel size and number of a CCD, the object distance, the wavelength of laser, and the particle diameter on the depth of focus in digital in-line particle holography were investigated. The depth of focus in several different cases was calculated using simulation holograms and detailed description of the depth of focus in digital particle holography was presented. The depth of focus is directly proportional to the object distance and the particle size. With the increase of the wavelength of laser, the depth of focus is decreased. The depth of focus is also inversely proportional to the pixel size and number of a CCD. Using the data of depth of focus from simulation holograms and a data-fitting software, we obtained the prediction equations of depth of focus for typical CCD cameras. Finally, the prediction equations of depth of focus in digital particle holography were verified by investigating real holograms of the calibration target in different cases and satisfied agreement between measured values and predicted values was confirmed.

스마트미디어가 보편화되면서 고화질의 3차원 영상과 깊이맵에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있지만, 현재 기술로는 완벽한 깊이맵을 직접 획득하는 것이 불가능하다. 스테레오 정합으로 획득된 깊이맵은 모호한 텍스처를 갖는 영역에서 낮은 정확도를 가지며, 깊이 카메라를 통해 직접 깊이맵을 획득한 경우에는 센서 잡음이나 낮은 해상도 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이미 획득된 깊이맵의 화질을 향상시키거나 고해상도로 변환하는 기술 동향을 살펴본다. 초기에 개발된 깊이맵만을 이용한 기술부터 대응되는 색상 영상 정보를 함께 이용한 기술을 소개하고, 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 복합형 카메라를 이용하여 깊이맵 화질을 향상시키는 기술을 자세히 살펴본다.

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was fascinated by a quantitative analysis and a depth profiling and it was convinced of a in-depth analysis of multi-layer films. Precision determination of the interfaces of multi-layer films is important for conversion from the original SIMS depth profiling to the compositional depth profiling and the investigation of structure of multi-layer films. However, the determining of the interface between two kinds of species of the SIMS depth profile is distorted from original structure by the several effects due to sputtering with energetic ions. In this study, the feasibility of 50 atomic % definition for the determination of interface between two kinds of species in SIMS depth profiling of multilayer films was investigated by Si/Ge and Ti/Si multi-layer films. The original SIMS depth profiles were converted into compositional depth profiles by the relative sensitivity factors from Si-Ge and Si-Ti alloy reference films. The atomic compositions of Si-Ge and Si-Ti alloy films determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS).

With the development of three-dimensional display and related technologies, depth video coding becomes a new topic and attracts great attention from industries and research institutes. Because (1) the depth video is not a sequence of images for final viewing by end users but an aid for rendering, and (2) depth video is simpler than the corresponding color video, fast algorithm for depth video is necessary and possible to reduce the computational burden of the encoder. This paper proposes a fast mode decision algorithm for depth video coding based on depth segmentation. Firstly, based on depth perception, the depth video is segmented into three regions: edge, foreground and background. Then, different mode candidates are searched to decide the encoding macroblock mode. Finally, encoding time, bit rate and video quality of virtual view of the proposed algorithm are tested. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm save encoding time ranging from 82.49% to 93.21% with negligible quality degradation of rendered virtual view image and bit rate increment.

본 논문은 저해상도의 깊이 카메라와 고해상도의 양안식 카메라를 결합한 복합형 카메라 시스템에서 관심영역(region of interest, ROI)이 향상된 깊이맵을 생성하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 깊이 카메라로 획득한 깊이 정보를 3차원 워핑(warping)하여 좌영상의 ROI 깊이맵을 생성한다. 그런 다음, 양안식 카메라로 획득한 좌우영상의 배경 영역을 스테레오 정합하여 좌영상의 배경 깊이맵을 생성한다. 최종적으로, ROI 깊이맵과 배경 깊이맵을 결합하여 최종 깊이맵을 생성한다. 제안하는 방법으로 생성한 고해상도 깊이맵은 기존의 스테레오 정합 방법보다 ROI에 정확한 깊이 정보를 제공한다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the needling depth of five-phase acupoints by acupuncture and moxibustion literatures. Methods : 7 volumes of acupuncture and moxibustion literatures was used to determine the depth of five-phase acupoints. The depth of needling at 60 five-phase acupoints was compared between well, spring, stream, river, sea acupoints and also yin, yang, hand and foot meridians. Results : The proximal part of the extremities had deeper needling depth than the distal part of the extremities. The order of well, spring, stream, river, sea can be related to the needling depth. Foot meridians had deeper needling depth than hand meridians. Yin meridians had deeper needling depth at Well, spring, stream acupoints and yan meridians had deeper needling depth at river, sea acupoints. Conclusions : The distinct patterns of needling depth of five-phase acupoints is related to which part of the extremities are five-phase acupoints located.

깊이 카메라는 Time-of-Flight (TOF) 기술을 이용하여 장면 내 물체들의 거리 정보를 실시간으로 측정하며, 측정된 값은 깊이 영상으로 출력되어 양안식 혹은 다시점 카메라와 함께 장면의 고화질 깊이 맵을 제작하는 데 사용된다. 그러나 깊이 카메라 자체가 가지는 기술적 한계로 인하여 영상에 잡음과 왜곡이 포함되어 있기 때문에 이를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 기술이 요구되며, 처리 된 깊이 카메라 영상은 다양한 방법으로 색상 영상과 융합되어 장면의 깊이 정보를 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 다시 점 카메라와 깊이 카메라를 함께 사용하여 고화질의 깊이 정보를 획득할 수 있는 혼합형 카메라 방식의 원리와 깊이 영상 처리 및 깊이 생성을 위한 기술 동향을 설명한다.

본 논문에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC)을 기반으로 구현된 3D 스케일러블 코덱에서 부호화 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 3D-HEVC에서는 dependent view를 부호화 할 때, 자신의 깊이 영상이 존재하지 않아 이웃 view의 base view의 깊이 영상을 이용하여 텍스처를 부호화한다. 하지만 스케일러블 부호화를 지원하는 형태의 3D-HEVC에서는 자신의 하위 spatial layer의 깊이영상을 이용하여 부호화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3D 스케일러블 코덱에서 텍스처 정보를 부호화하기 위한 향상된 깊이영상 예측방법을 제안한다. 저자들이 구현한 3D 스케일러블 코덱을 이용하여 제안한 알고리즘으로 실험을 한 결과, 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존 기술 대비 효율적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
