  • 본 논문에서는 동적 객체의 3 차원 정보를 표현하는 깊이 영상의 노이즈 필터링 방법을 제안한다. 실제 객체의 동적인 3 차원 정보는 적외선 깊이 센서가 장착된 깊이 비디오 카메라를 이용하여 실시간으로 획득되며, 일련의 깊이 영상, 즉 깊이 비디오(depth video)로 표현될 수 있다. 하지만 측정환경의 조명조건, 객체의 반사속성, 카메라의 시스템 오차 등으로 인해 깊이 영상에는 고주파 성분의 노이즈가 발생하게 된다. 이를 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 깊이 영상기반의 모델링 기법(depth image-based modeling)을 이용한 3 차원 메쉬 모델링을 수행한다. 생성된 3 차원 메쉬 모델은 깊이 영상의 노이즈로 인해 경계 영역과 형상 내부 영역에 심각한 형상 오차를 가진다. 경계 영역의 오차를 제거하기 위해 깊이 영상으로부터 경계 영역을 추출하고, 가까운 순서로 정렬한 후 angular deviation 을 이용하여 불필요하게 중복된 점들을 제거한다. 그리고 나서 2 차원 가우시안 스무딩 기법을 적용하여 부드러운 경계영역을 생성한다. 형상 내부에 대해서는 경계영역에 제약조건을 주고 3 차원 가우시안 스무딩 기법을 적용하여 전체적으로 부드러운 형상을 생성한다. 최종적으로 스무딩된 3 차원 메쉬모델을 렌더링할 때, 깊이 버퍼에 있는 정규화된 깊이 값들을 추출하여 원래 깊이 영상과 동일한 깊이 영역을 가지도록 저장함으로서 전역적으로 연속적이면서 부드러운 깊이 영상을 생성할 수 있다. 제안된 방법에 의해 노이즈가 제거된 깊이 영상을 이용하여 고품질의 영상기반 렌더링이나 깊이 비디오 기반의 햅틱 렌더링에 적용할 수 있다.

  • A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood Larix kaempferi (Lamb.)Carriere, diffuse-porous wood Betula davurica Pall.. and ring-porouswood Castanea crenata S.etZ. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction, tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents (MC). The length, lumen diameter, pit diameter, end wall pit diameter and the numbers of end wall pits determined for the flow rate. The liquid flow in the those cells was captured via video and the capillary flow rate in the ones were measured. Vessel in hardwood species and tracheids in softwood was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration. Anatomical features like the length and diameter, end-wall pit numbers of ray parenchyma were found also responsible fluid flow differences. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Therefore, the average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal tracheids of Larix kaempferi was found the highest among all cells considered in Betula davurica and Castanea crenata, In radial direction, ray parenchyma of Larix kaempferi was found the highest depth and the one of Betula davurica was the lowest. The solution was penetrated lowest depth in the wood fiber of Castanea crenata. The large vessel of Castanea crenata was found the lowest depth among the vessels. The solutin was penetrated to the wood fiber of Betula davurica higher than the one of Castanea crenata.

  • Kinect released by Microsoft in November 2010 is a motion sensing camera in xbox360 and gives depth and color images. However, Kinect camera also generates holes and noise around object boundaries in the obtained images because it uses infrared pattern. Also, boundary flickering phenomenon occurs. Therefore, we propose a real-time virtual-view video synthesis algorithm which results in a high-quality virtual view by solving these problems. In the proposed algorithm, holes around the boundary are filled by using the joint bilateral filter. Color image is converted into intensity image and then flickering pixels are searched by analyzing the variation of intensity and depth images. Finally, boundary flickering phenomenon can be reduced by converting values of flickering pixels into the maximum pixel value of a previous depth image and virtual views are generated by applying 3D warping technique. Holes existing on regions that are not part of occlusion region are also filled with a center pixel value of the highest reliability block after the final block reliability is calculated by using a block based gradient searching algorithm with block reliability. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generated the virtual view image in real-time.

  • The perceptual presentation of interior design is to represent an interior space planned by a designer as if people see it in reality. The perceptual presentation methods that have developed are perspectives, full-scale models, small-scale models, photography of models, video taping of models, computer images, computer animation, and virtual reality. The purpose of this study is to investigate limits of those perceptual presentation methods according to their characteristics. The methods have characteristics that are either static or dynamic and either monoscopic or stereoscopic. In terms of representing interior spaces and perceiving interior spaces, the dynamic characteristic is more helpful than the static characteristic because the dynamic characteristic provides consecutively changing views of interior spaces when people walk around within the spaces. The stereoscopic characteristic is more helpful than the monoscopic characteristic because the stereoscopic characteristic provides the binocular depth perception. Full-scale models, small-scale models, virtual reality that have dynamic and stereoscopic characteristics, are most effective. The next effective methods are video taping of models and computer animation that have dynamic and monoscopic characteristics. The last effective methods are perspectives and photography of models that have static and monoscopic characteristics. But the most effective methods can not be said that those are perfect because each of them still has limits. Designers have to consider the limits of each perceptual presentation method to find a way that shows their designs most effectively. To develop the perceptual presentation methods of interior design, researchers should focus on the helpful characteristics that are dynamic and stereoscopic.

  • 본 논문에서는 깊이 정보를 이용하여 영상을 색상 분포가 각각 다른 객체 영상으로 분리하고 개별적으로 히스토그램 매칭 기법을 적용하는 조명 보상 기법을 제안한다. 서로 위치가 다른 다시점 카메라의 경우, 다시점 비디오 부호화(multi-view video coding)의 성능을 저하시키는 인접 시점 영상 간 조명 불일치 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 조명 불일치를 보상하기 위한 히스토그램 매칭(histogram matching)을 이용한 전처리 기법이 제안되었다. 모든 시점의 다시점 영상 히스토그램은 정해진 참조 시점 영상의 히스토그램으로 매칭되어 조명 불일치와 다시점 비디오 부호화의 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 하지만 일반적인 영상은 색상 분포와 깊이 정보가 상호 독립적인 객체들로 구성되어 있다. 또한 다시점 비디오는 시점에 따라 획득된 영상 간에 동일 객체의 위치와 깊이가 서로 달라 정해진 참조 시점의 히스토그램으로 매칭하는 기존의 방법은 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 주어진 영상 내에서 깊이 정보를 이용하여 객체를 먼저 분리하고, 객체 영상별로 히스토그램 매칭 기법을 적용하여 색상 보상을 수행하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 객체 단위의 조명 보상 기법이 향상된 다시점 비디오 부호화 효율을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

  • 본 논문은 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 기반의 3차원 비디오 부호기에서 깊이 비디오 부호화의 효율 증대를 위한 디블록킹 필터(deblocking filter)를 제안한다. 디블록킹 필터는 블록 왜곡(blocking artifact)을 보정하기 위한 필터인데 원래 색상 영상의 특성에 맞게 설계되어서 비슷한 목적을 지닌 SAO(Sample Adaptive Offset)와 더불어 기존 방법의 깊이 비디오 부호화에서는 사용되지 않는다. 제안 방법은 디블록킹 필터의 사전 실험 통계에 기반하여 기여도가 낮은 normal 필터를 제외시킨다. 또한, 깊이 비디오의 특성을 고려하여 임펄스 응답(impulse response)를 변형하였다. 이 변형된 디블록킹 필터를 깊이 비디오 부호화에만 적용하고 색상 비디오 부호화에는 기존 디블록킹 필터를 사용하였다. 3D-HTM(HEVC Test Model) 13.0 참조 소프트웨어에 구현하여 실험한 결과, 기존 방법에 비해 깊이 비디오 부호화 성능이 5.2% 향상되었다. 색상-깊이 비디오 간 참조가 있기 때문에 변형된 깊이 비디오 부호화가 색상 비디오 부호화 효율에 영향을 끼칠 수도 있지만 실험 결과 색상 비디오 부호화 성능은 유지되었다. 따라서 제안 방법은 성공적으로 깊이 비디오 부호화의 효율을 증대시켰다.

  • This paper describes a full color stereoscopic video display system using a LCD shutter. Human apprehends the world with a natural stereo vision. The left eye sees through a slightly different perspective from the right eye; proposed vision system combines two images into a single image that has stereo depth. That is, when the left image is on the screen, the left shutter opens and the right shutter closes - and vice versa. The LCD shutter channels the left image to the left eye, and the right image to the right eye. The brain then fuses the stereo pair into a single high-resolution, flicker-free 3D image. The designed vision system is a real-time system that shows stereoscopic images without the loss of image information from video cameras.

  • Structural integrity can be accessed from dynamic deformations of structures. Moreover, dynamic deformations can be acquired from non-contact sensors such as video cameras. Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm is one of the commonly used methods for motion tracking. However, averaging throughout the extracted features would induce bias in the measurement. In addition, pixel-wise measurements can be converted to physical units through camera intrinsic. Still, the depth information is unreachable without prior knowledge of the space information. The assigned homogeneous coordinates would then mismatch manually selected feature points, resulting in measurement errors during coordinate transformation. In this study, a two-stage optimization method for video-based measurements is proposed. The manually selected feature points are first optimized by minimizing the errors compared with the homogeneous coordinate. Then, the optimized points are utilized for the KLT algorithm to extract displacements through inverse projection. Two additional criteria are employed to eliminate outliers from KLT, resulting in more reliable displacement responses. The second-stage optimization subsequently fine-tunes the geometry of the selected coordinates. The optimization process also considers the number of interpolation points at different depths of an image to reduce the effect of out-of-plane motions. As a result, the proposed method is numerically investigated by using a truss bridge as a physics-based graphic model (PBGM) to extract high-accuracy displacements from recorded videos under various capturing angles and structural conditions.

  • The development of the Internet and mobile technology has brought various changes to society. In particular, the growth of video platforms such as YouTube has allowed those who have watched videos through legacy media to enjoy videos freely at the time and place they want. The freedom of time and space, consequently, has changed content use behavior, causing a paradigm shift in media consumption. It has brought unprecedented changes in media consumption patterns such as vertical media, and short-form content. Starting with the new social and cultural changes brought about by the YouTube platform, this paper aims to examine the changes in newly emerged MCN companies and the media industry. In particular, this paper shall examine in depth the implementation of novel revenue diversification strategies by MCN companies, who are aware the limitations of advertising revenue received from YouTube. Such revenue diversification strategies of MCN companies appear to be excellent examples to understand and analyze trends in management strategies, as well as new marketing strategies in the digital age. By examining the changed media industry's latest corporate management strategies, it is possible to derive two implications: management insight and sociological insight.
