This paper addresses photometric distortion problems of a compact 3D scanning sensor which is composed of a micro-size and inexpensive camera-projector system. Recently, many micro-size cameras and projectors are available. However, erroneous 3D scanning results may arise due to the poor and nonlinear photometric properties of the sensors. This paper solves two inherent photometric distortions of the sensors. First, the response functions of both the camera and projector are derived from the least squares solutions of passive and active calibration, respectively. Second, vignetting correction of the vision camera is done by using a conventional method, however the projector vignetting is corrected by using the planar homography between the image planes of the projector and camera, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed technique enhances the linear properties of the phase patterns that are generated by the sensor.

The welding distortion is caused by welding heat in the structures which are widely used in shipbuilding and automotive industries, thus many researchers have proposed such methods to control the welding distortion through trials and numerical studies. The welding distortion has been the main cause of low productivity due to the structural strength degradation, apparent flaw, additional deformation caused by the process followed the current assembly step, and the increase of correction workload. The deformation of fillet welding is investigated in this study, and the influence of the rib height on the welding distortion is verified through the actual experiment. And the numerical analysis model using the FE software MSC.marc for analysis of welding distortion is proposed.

Variation of the observer's viewing position is one of the major causes of image space distortion in the stereoscopic display. Especially, a large image distortion, which is caused by different depth direction positions of the observer's two eyes, is made by the observer's rotation movement in relation to the center of the screen. This is different from distortion of horizontal and depth directional movement of the observer. In this paper, we analyzed distortion of the image space due to the observer's rotation movement and showed the corrected result of distortion through simulation in the stereoscopic display. Finally, we showed that the distortion shape of the observer's rotation movement is different from horizontal and depth directional movement of the observer.

In producing anamorphic 3D advertisement projects, it is necessary to apply the principles of illusion art to distort the images output to the screen (Image Distortion) so that their display aligns with our visual perception in a real three-dimensional environment. We focuse on the methods of image distortion in the creation of content for anamorphic 3D advertisement screens in this thesis. We propose using Unity 3D's real-time rendering instead of the offline rendering method of compositing method, and employing UV grid mapping to replace the manual correction in Adobe After Effects(AE). The significance of this paper lies in simplifying the image distortion processing workflow in anamorphic 3D projects and optimizing the image distortion creation methods used in compositing method. In outdoor anamorphic 3D advertisement projects, the proposed image distortion creation method demonstrates significant advantages in terms of production time, process simplification, flexibility, and expansion possibilities. Our research provides new perspectives and methods for the creation of anamorphic 3D content, offering theoretical and methodological references for professionals working on similar contents.

In grid-connected converter control, grid voltage feedforward is usually introduced to suppress the influence of grid voltage distortion on the converter's grid-side AC current. However, owing to the time-delay in control systems, the suppression effect of the grid voltage distortion is seriously affected. In this paper, the positive effects of the grid voltage feedforward control are analyzed in detail, and the time-delay caused by the low-pass filter (LPF) in the voltage filtering circuits and digital control are summarized. In order to reduce the time-delay effect on the performance of the feedforward control, a voltage feedforward control strategy with time-delay compensation is proposed, in which, a leading correction of the feedforward voltage is used. The optimal leading step used in this strategy is derived from analyzing the phase-frequency characteristics of a LPF and the implementation of digital control. By using the optimal leading step, the delay in the feedforward path can be further counteracted so that the performance of the feedforward control in terms of suppressing the influence of grid voltage distortion on the converter output current can be improved. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiment results.

Throughout developing digital technology, reproduction of image is growing better day by day. And at the same time, diverse image editing softwares are developed to manage images easily. In the process of editing images, those programs could delete or modify EXIF files which have the original image information; therefore images without the origin source are widely spread on the web site after editing. This matter could affect analysis of images due to the distortion of originality. Especially in the court of law, the source of evidence should be expressed clearly; therefore digital image EXIF file without deletion or distortion could not be the objective evidence. In this research, we try to trace the identification of a digital camera in order to solve digital images originality, and also we focus on lens distortion correction algorism which is used in digital image processing. Lens distortion correction uses mapping algorism, and at this moment it also uses interpolation algorism to prevent aliasing artifact and reconstruction artifact. At this point interpolation shows the similar mapping pattern; therefore we want to find out the interpolation evidence. We propose a minimum filter algorism in order to detect interpolation pattern and adjust the same minimum filter coefficient in two areas; one has interpolation and the second has no interpolation. Throughout DFT, we confirm frequency character between each area. Based on this result, we make the final detection map by using differences between two areas. In other words, thereby the area which has the interpolation caused by mapping is adjusted using minimum filter for detection algorism; the second area which has no interpolation tends to different frequency character.

Document images captured by scanners have only skewing distortion. But camera captured document images have not only skew but also vignetting effect and geometric distortion. Vignetting effect, which makes the border areas to be darker than the center of the image, make it difficult to separate characters from the document images. But this effect has being decreased, as the lens manufacturing skill is developed. Geometric distortion, occurred by the mismatch of angle and center position between the document image and the camera, make the shape of characters to be distorted, so that the character recognition is more difficult than the case of using scanner. In this paper, we propose a method that can increase the performance of character recognition by correcting the geometric distortion of document images using a linear approximation which changes the quadrilateral region to the rectangle one. The proposed method also determine the quadrilateral transform region automatically, using the alignment of character lines and the skewed angles of characters located in the edges of each character line. Proposed method, therefore, can correct the geometric distortion without getting positional information from camera.

In this paper, the inductor current distortion in a boost PFC (Power Factor Correction) converter under light load is mathematically analyzed, and its reasons are defined. In the average current mode control under light load, the inductor current is discontinuous, resulting in an inaccurate inductor current average value being reflected in the current control. In predictive current mode control, the current ripple is relatively large compared to the inductor current, leading to severe current distortion. In addition, the switch is turned off near the peak of the inductor current when model predictive current control is applied. Inductor current distortion must be addressed because it leads to an increase in total harmonic distortion and a decrease in power factor. In this paper, the design procedure to mitigate the light load current distortion in boost PFC converter is selected based on the mathematical analysis. Finally, a comparative analysis of control methods under light load is performed using hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

General lens, widely using in Photogrammetry, has narrow view, and have to adjust "Image-Registration Method" after obtain images and it need cost; economic, period of time. Recent days, there is various study that use wide-angle lens, usually for robotics field, put to practical use in photogrammetry instead of general lens. In this studies, distortion tendency of wide-angle lens and utilize the correction techniques suitable to wide-angle lens by the existing photographic survey methods. After carrying out the calibration of the wide-angle lens, we calculated the correction parameters, and then developed the method that convert the original image-point to new image-point correcting distortion. For authorization the developed algorithm, we had inspection about shape and position; there are approximately 2D RMSE of 3 pixel, cx = 2, and cy = 3 different.
