Fisheye 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 일반 영상보다 넓은 시야각을 갖는 장점으로 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 fisheye 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 어안렌즈의 곡률로 인하여 영상의 중앙 부분은 팽창되고 외곽 부분은 축소되는 방사 왜곡이 발생하기 때문에 영상을 활용함에 있어서 어려움이 있다. 이러한 방사 왜곡을 보정하기 위하여 기존 영상처리 분야에서는 렌즈의 곡률을 수학적으로 계산하여 보정하기도 하지만 이는 각각의 렌즈마다 왜곡 파라미터를 추정해야 하기 때문에, 개별적인 GT (Ground Truth) 영상이 필요하다는 제한 사항이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 렌즈의 종류마다 GT 영상을 필요로 하는 기존 기술의 제한 사항을 극복하기 위하여, fisheye 영상만을 입력으로 하여 왜곡계수를 계산하는 딥러닝 네트워크를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 단일 왜곡계수를 왜곡모델로 활용함으로써 layer 수를 크게 줄일 수 있는 경량화 네트워크를 제안한다.

We propose an interpolation method considering barrel distortion of fisheye lens using nearest pixels on a corrected image. The correction of barrel distortion comprises coordinate transformation and interpolation. This paper focuses on interpolation. The proposed interpolation method uses nearest four coordinates on a corrected image rather than on a distorted image unlike existing techniques. Experimental results show that both subjective and objective image qualities are improved.

A realization for image distortion correction processing system with DSP processor is presented in this paper. The image distortion correcting algorithm is realized by DSP processor for focusing on more real time processing than image quality. The lens and camera distortion coefficients are processed by YCbCr Lookup Tables and the correcting algorithm is applied to reverse mapping method for geometrical transform. The system experimentation results in the processing time about 34.6 msec on $720{\times}480$ curved image at 150 degree visual range.

When we are collecting traffic information on CCTV images, we have to install the detect zone in the image area during pan-tilt system is on duty. An automation of detect zone with pan-tilt system is not easy because of machine error. So the fisheye lens attached camera or convex mirror camera is needed for getting wide area images. In this situation some troubles are happened, that is a decreased system speed or image distortion. This distortion is caused by occlusion of angled ray as like trembled snapshot in digital camera. In this paper, we propose two methods of de-blurring to overcome distortion, the one is image segmentation by nonlinear diffusion equation and the other is deformation for some segmented area. As the results of doing de-blurring methods, the de-blurring image has 15 decibel increased PSNR and the detection rate of collecting traffic information is more than 5% increasing than in distorted images.

The accurate analysis of the outside sky conditions is necessary to increase the efficiency of blind PV system. To conduct the accurate analysis, this paper suggested a method to analyze the sky condition using a specific image processing technique. While a fisheye lens has a wide field-of-views, it causes a large distortion to the sky images. Therefore, this paper calculated the exchange ratio of sky images to consider a lens distortion. As results of the study, there was a difference of 7% to cloud area ratio F4 and F11. Also, it had a different result depending on the position of the cloud.

We have developed a miniature fisheye lens with $190^{\circ}$ field of view operating simultaneously in the visible and the near infrared wavelengths. The modulation transfer function characteristic for the visible wavelength is sufficient for a mega-pixel-grade image sensor. The lens also has a fair resolution in the infrared wavelength region. The calibrated $f-{\theta}$ distortion is less than 5%, and the relative illumination is over 90%. In consequence, a sharp wide-angle image can be obtained which is uniform in brightness over the entire range of field angles. The real image heights for the visible and the near infrared wavelengths have been fitted to polynomial functions of incidence angle with sub-pixel accuracies. Combined with the near equidistance projection scheme of the lens, this lens can be advantageously employed in various image-processing applications requiring a wide-angle lens.

General method for correcting the distortion caused by the characteristic of the fish-eye lens may be classified in two ways. The first method is a calibration method using a mathematical model taking into account the characteristics of the lens, the second method is a method using only the distortion correction image, regardless of the lens. When considering the characteristics of the lens, calibration equation can be calculated geometrically from the relationship between the three-dimensional real-world coordinates and two-dimensional image coordinates and the parameters of lens. However, it is not suitable for ellipsoid type lens, because of existing research papers have been corrected on the spherical-type fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting geometrically using fish-eye lens as an ellipsoid model. Through a calibration picture, it can be seen that the proposed method is valid.

There are many research results about a self-localization technique of mobile robot. In this paper we present a self-localization technique based on the features of ceiling vision using a fisheye lens. The features obtained by SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) can be used to be matched between the previous image and the current image and then its optimal function is derived. The fisheye lens causes some distortion on its images naturally. So it must be calibrated by some algorithm. We here propose some methods for calibration of distorted images and design of a geometric fitness model. The proposed method is applied to laboratory and aile environment. We show its feasibility at some indoor environment.

The advent of a fourth industrial revolution, built on advances in digital technology, has coincided with studies using various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) being performed worldwide. However, the accuracy of different sensors and their suitability for particular research studies are factors that need to be carefully evaluated. In this study, we evaluated UAV photogrammetry using smart technology. To assess the performance of digital photogrammetry, the accuracy of common procedures for generating orthomosaic images and digital surface models (DSMs) using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) techniques was measured. Two different type of non-surveying camera(Smartphone camera, fisheye camera) were attached to UAV platform. For fisheye camera, lens distortion was corrected by considering characteristics of lens. Accuracy of orthoimage and DSM generated were comparatively analyzed using aerial and TLS data. Accuracy comparison analysis proceeded as follows. First, we used Ortho mosaic image to compare the check point with a certain area. In addition, vertical errors of camera DSM were compared and analyzed based on TLS. In this study, we propose and evaluate the feasibility of UAV photogrammetry which can acquire 3 - D spatial information at low cost in a construction site.
