In this paper, we propose a method for an arbitrary-view image generation in multi-view video and methods for pre- and post-processing to compensate unattended regions in the generated image. To generate an arbitrary-view image, camera geometry is used. Three dimensional coordinates of image pixels can be obtained by using depth information of multi-view video and parameter information of multi-view cameras, and by replacing three dimensional coordinates on a two dimensional image plane of other view, arbitrary-view image can be reconstructed. However, the generated arbitrary-view image contains many unattended regions. In this paper, we also proposed a method for compensating these regions considering temporal redundancy and spatial direction of an image and an error of acquired multi-view image and depth information. Test results show that we could obtain a reliably synthesized view-image with objective measurement of PSNR more than 30dB and subjective estimation of DSCQS(double stimulus continuous quality scale method) more than 3.5 point.

The purpose of this study was to analysis biomechanics of the lower extremities injury the heights(40cm, 60cm, 80cm) of jump box as performed depth jump motion by 6 females aerobic athletes and 6 non-experience females students. The event of depth jump were set to be drop, landing and jump. The depth jump motions on the force plate were filmed using a digital video cameras, and data were collected through the cinematography and force plate. On the basis of the results analyzed, the conclusions were drawn as follows: 1. The landing time of skill group was shorter than unskill group at 40cm, 60cm drop height during drop-landing-jump phase especially. The landing time of 60cm drop height was significant between two group(p<.05). 2. The peak GRF of sagittal and frontaI direction following drop height improve was variety pattern and the peak vertical force of 40cm drop height was significantly(p<.05). 3. The magnitude of peak passive force was not increase to change the drop height. 4. The peak passive forces was significant at 40cm drop height between two groups(p<.05)

3차원 영상 처리 기술과 3차원 디스플레이의 발전은 3차원 영상 시장의 빠른 발전을 가져왔고 차세대 방송 기술로 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 3차원 영상은 시청할 때 눈의 피로, 어지럼증과 같은 현상이 일어날 수 있으며, 왜곡된 3차원 영상이 인체에 해로운 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. 이는 3차원 영상 산업의 활성화를 위해서 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 문제이다. 현재 3차원 디스플레이는 스테레오 방식과 함께 1view 1depth 다시점 방식이 개발되었다. 특히 1view 1depth 다시점 디스플레이에서 깊이 영상의 공간적/시간적으로 복잡한 정도는 피로감을 일으키는 주요 요소이며 이는 1view 1depth 영상을 통해 직접 연구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 1view 1depth 디스플레이에서 주관적인 피로도와 큰 상관도를 가지는 깊이 영상의 특성 측정 방법을 제안한다. 1view 1depth 디스플레이에서 view 영상은 양호한 화질을 가정하였으며 피로감에 큰 영향을 미치는 깊이 영상 정보만 사용하여 공간적, 시간적인 특성을 분석한다. 공간적 복잡도는 각 프레임에 대하여 깊이 영상 내 화소 값의 분산 값을 취하여 공간적으로 깊이 값의 분포와 구조의 복잡한 정도를 측정하고, 시간적 복잡도는 연속적인 프레임에 대하여 동일한 화소위치에서 화소 값 차이의 분산 값을 사용한다. 또한 공간적/시간적 평균값의 측정하여 피로감에 영향을 주는 요인으로 사용하였다. 결과적으로 측정한 값들을 바탕으로 주관적인 피로도 평가와 유사성을 가지도록 모델링하여 3차원 영상의 피로도를 예측한다.

A depth map is an image which contains 3D distance information. Generally, it is difficult to acquire a high resolution (HD), noise-removed, good quality depth map directly from the camera. Therefore, many researches have been focused on acquisition of the high resolution and the good quality depth map by up-sampling and pre/post image processing of the low resolution depth map. However, many researches are lack of effective up-sampling for the edge region which has huge impact on image perceptual-quality. In this paper, we propose an up-sampling method, based on joint bilateral filter, which improves up-sampling of the edge region and visual quality of synthetic images by adopting different weights for the edge parts that is sensitive to human perception characteristics. The proposed method has gains in terms of PSNR and subjective video quality compared to previous researches.

In this paper, when stereo image, satellite view and corresponding depth maps were used as the input data, we propose a new method that convert these data to data format suitable for compressing, and then by using these format, intermediate view is synthesized. In the transmitter depth maps are merged to a global depth map and satellite view are converted to residual image corresponding hole region as out of frame area and occlusion region. And these images subsampled to reduce a mount of data and stereo image of main view are encoded by HEVC codec and transmitted. In the receiver intermediate views between stereo image and between stereo image and bit-rate are synthesized using decoded global depth map, residual images and stereo image. Through experiments, we confirm good quality of intermediate views synthesized by proposed format subjectively and objectively in comparison to intermediate views synthesized by MVD format versus total bit-rate.

In this paper, we propose a gaze correction method for realistic video teleconferencing. Typically, cameras used in teleconferencing are installed at the side of the display monitor, but not in the center of the monitor. This system makes it too difficult for users to contact each eyes. Therefore, eys contact is the most important in the immersive videoconferencing. In the proposed method, we use the stereo camera and the depth camera to correct the eye contact. The depth camera is the kinect camera, which is the relatively cheap price, and estimate the depth information efficiently. However, the kinect camera has some inherent disadvantages. Therefore, we fuse the kinect camera with stereo camera to compensate the disadvantages of the kinect camera. Consecutively, for the gaze-corrected image, view synthesis is performed by 3D warping according to the depth information. Experimental results verify that the proposed system is effective in generating natural gaze-corrected images.

As the popularization and development of 3D display makes common users easy to experience a solid 3D virtual reality, the demand for virtual reality contents are increasing. In this paper, we propose 3D panorama system using vanishing point locationbased depth map generation method. 3D panorama using depthmap stitching gives an effect that makes users feel staying at real place and looking around nearby circumstances. Also, 3D panorama gives free sight point for both nearby object and remote one and provides solid 3D video.

본 논문은 그룹화된 객체별 깊이정보를 차등 적용한 2D/3D 동영상 변환 기법에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 연구에서는 프레임의 움직임 정보와 기하학적 깊이 단서를 이용해 깊이정보를 추출하여 2D/3D 동영상 변환을 한다. 그러나 영상의 움직임 정보를 획득할 수 없는 영역의 경우 정확한 깊이정보를 얻을 수 없어 해당 영역의 3D 효과를 얻을 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 제안하는 기법에서는 객체 및 배경을 추출하고 움직임 정보와 기하학적 단서를 이용한 깊이정보를 그룹화된 객체별 차등 적용하여 움직임 정보가 없는 영역에서도 3D 효과를 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 원본 영상과 생성된 깊이맵을 DIBR(Depth Image Based Rendering) 과정을 통해 3D 동영상을 생성한 결과 움직임 정보가 없는 영역에서도 3D 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The distance detection system receives stereo video input through 2 CCD cameras. Using a decoder, the image is changed to the YCbCr4:2:2 format and only the Y signal is saved in the 4*256*8bit shift register of the Dual-Port SRAM. As a result of the matching procedure, the Depth value, which is the distance information, is saved in SRAM, and the Depth Map is made and output to the TFT-LCD screen.

최근 3DTV 의 급격한 활성화로 스테레오 영상 콘텐츠 제작이 크게 증가하고 있다. 스테레오 영상은 일반 2D 영상과 달리 깊이(depth)가 존재하므로 자막과 같은 그래픽의 삽입에서 그 깊이를 반드시 고려해야 한다. 또한 시각피로를 줄이기 위해 스테레오 촬영 시 영상의 변이맵(disparity map)을 실시간 관찰할 필요성도 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최신의 그래픽 하드웨어를 이용하여 듀얼스트림 HD 영상을 실시간으로 스테레오 정합하는 방법을 제안한다.
