The analysis of the depth measurement system with multi-sensors (laser, camera, mirror) has been done and the parameter calibration technique has been proposed. In the proposed depth measurement system, the laser beam is reflected to the object by the rotating mirror and again the position of the laser beam is observed through the same mirror by the camera. The depth of the object pointed by the laser beam is computed depending on the pixel position on the CCD. There involved several number of internal and external parameters such as inter-pixel distance, focal length, position and orientation of the system components in the depth measurement error. In this paper, it is shown through the error sensitivity analysis of the parameters that the most important parameters in the sense of error sources are the angle of the laser beam and the inter pixel distance.

Depth calculation of objects in a scene from images is one of the most studied processes in the fields of image processing, computer vision, and photogrammetry. Conventionally, depth is calculated using a pair of overlapped images captured at different view points. However, there have been studies to calculate depths from a single image. Theoretically, it is known to be possible to calculate depth using the diameter of CoC (Circle of Confusion) caused by defocus under the assumption of a thin lens model. Thus, this study aims to verify the validity of the thin lens model to calculate depth from edge blur amount which corresponds to the radius of CoC. For this study, a commercially available DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera was used to capture a set of target sheets which had different edge contrasts. In order to find out the pattern of the variations of edge blur against varying combination of FD (Focusing Distance) and OD (Object Distance), the camera was set to varying FD and target sheet images were captured at varying OD under each FD. Then, the edge blur and edge displacement were estimated from edge slope profiles using a brute-force method. The experimental results show that the pattern of the variations of edge blur observed in the target images was apart from their corresponding theoretical amounts derived under the thin lens assumption but can still be utilized to calculate depth from a single image for the cases similar to the limited conditions experimented under which the tendency between FD and OD is manifest.

In this paper, a method of detecting vehicle plates through depth pictures is proposed. A vehicle plate can be recognized by detecting the plane areas. First, plane factors of each square block are calculated. After that, the same plane areas are grouped by comparing the neighboring blocks to whether they are similar planes. Width and height for the detected plane area are obtained. If the height and width are matched to an actual vehicle plate, the area is recognized as a vehicle plate. Simulations results show that the recognition rates for the proposed method are about 87.8%.

This paper describes a new sensor system for 3D environment perception using stereo structured infrared light sources and a camera. Environment and obstacle sensing is the key issue for mobile robot localization and navigation. Laser scanners and infrared scanners cover $180^{\circ}$ and are accurate but too expensive. Those sensors use rotating light beams so that the range measurements are constrained on a plane. 3D measurements are much more useful in many ways for obstacle detection, map building and localization. Stereo vision is very common way of getting the depth information of 3D environment. However, it requires that the correspondence should be clearly identified and it also heavily depends on the light condition of the environment. Instead of using stereo camera, monocular camera and two projected infrared light sources are used in order to reduce the effects of the ambient light while getting 3D depth map. Modeling of the projected light pattern enabled precise estimation of the range. Two successive captures of the image with left and right infrared light projection provide several benefits, which include wider area of depth measurement, higher spatial resolution and the visibility perception.

In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the human height by using downward depth images. We detect a point with the lowest depth value in an object as top of the head and estimate the height by calculating the depth difference with the floor. Since the depth of the floor varies depending on the angle of the camera, the correction formula is applied. In addition, the binarization threshold is variably applied so that height can be estimated even when several people are adjacent. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance than the conventional methods. The proposed method is expected to be widely used in body measurement, intelligent surveillance, and marketing.

In the intelligent video surveillance, recognizing the moving objects is important issue. However, the conventional moving object recognition methods have some problems, that is, the influence of light, the distinguishing between similar colors, and so on. The recognition methods for the moving objects using depth information have been also studied, but these methods have limit of accuracy because the depth camera cannot measure the depth value accurately. In this paper, we propose a recognition method for the moving objects by using both the depth and the color information. The depth information is used for extracting areas of moving object and then the color information for correcting the extracted areas. Through tests with typical videos including moving objects, we confirmed that the proposed method could extract areas of moving objects more accurately than a method using only one of two information. The proposed method can be not only used in CCTV field, but also used in other fields of recognizing moving objects.

This study proposes technology using Active Shape Model to track the object separating it by depth-sensors. Unlike the common visual camera, the depth-sensor is not affected by the intensity of illumination, and therefore a more robust object can be extracted. The proposed algorithm removes the horizontal component from the information of the initial depth map and separates the object using the vertical component. In addition, it is also a more efficient morphology, and labeling to perform image correction and object extraction. By applying Active Shape Model to the information of an extracted object, it can track the object more robustly. Active Shape Model has a robust feature-to-object occlusion phenomenon. In comparison to visual camera-based object tracking algorithms, the proposed technology, using the existing depth of the sensor, is more efficient and robust at object tracking. Experimental results, show that the proposed ASM-based algorithm using depth sensor can robustly track objects in real-time.

깊이영상기반 렌더링(depth image-based rendering, DIBR)이란 색상 영상과 각 화소에 대응하는 거리 정보로 이루어진 깊이 영상(depth map)을 이용하여 가상 시점에서의 영상을 합성하는 기술을 말한다. DIBR을 이용하면 3차원 TV에 적합한 컨텐츠를 생성할 수 있지만, 가상 시점에서의 영상을 합성하는 과정에서 원영상에 존재하지 않는 영역, 즉, 비폐색(disocclusion) 영역이 드러나는 등 여러 가지 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 구조광으로 깊이 정보를 획득하는 Kinect 깊이 카메라를 이용한 가상시점 영상생성 기술을 제안한다. 깊이 카메라로부터 색상 영상과 그에 대응하는 깊이 영상을 획득한 다음, 깊이 영상에 대한 전처리 기술을 수행한다. 전처리가 끝난 깊이 영상은 중간 시점으로 워핑되고, 워핑 과정에서 발생하는 절삭 오차를 제거하기 위해 Median 필터링을 적용한다. 그런 다음, 색상 영상은 워핑된 깊이 영상의 깊이 값을 사용해서 중간 시점으로 워핑된다. 비폐색(disocclusion) 영역을 채우기 위해 배경 기반의 인페인팅 기술을 적용한다. 실험 결과를 통해, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 자연스러운 스테레오 영상을 생성한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
