SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) has characteristics well-suited for the measurement of geophysical parameters during day and night in all weather conditions. Recently, SAR data with high resolution acquired by satellites became available to the public. In such data, many features and phenomena of geometric structure of man-made objects and natural environments become observable. In this paper, we discuss main considerations including geometric distortion and coregistration for efficient utilization of high resolution SAR images. And, various advanced technologies in SAR application fields are introduced.

Wide FOV imaging systems are important for acquiring rich visual information. A conventional catadioptric imaging system deploys a camera in front of a curved mirror to acquire a wide FOV image. This is a cumbersome setup and causes unnecessary occlusions in the acquired image. In order to reduce both the burden of the camera deployment and the occlusions in the images, this study uses a secondary planar mirror in the catadioptric imaging system. A compact design of the catadioptric imaging system and a condition for the position of the secondary planar mirror to satisfy the central imaging are presented. The image acquisition model of the catadioptric imaging system with a secondary planar mirror is discussed based on the principles of geometric optics in this study. As a backward mapping, the acquired image is restored to a distortion-free image in the experiments.

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for real-time 3D face pose discrimination based on active IR illumination from a monocular view of the camera. Under the IR illumination, the pupils appear bright. We develop algorithms for efficient and robust detection and tracking pupils in real time. Based on the geometric distortions of pupils under different face orientations, an eigen eye feature space is built based on training data that captures the relationship between 3D face orientation and the geometric features of the pupils. The 3D face pose for an input query image is subsequently classified using the eigen eye feature space. From the experiment, we obtained the range of results of discrimination from the subjects which close to the camera are from 94,67%, minimum from 100%, maximum.

In recent years, copyright violations from illegal copying and distribution of e-comic contents have become an important issue. Fingerprinting techniques have been emerged to provide a fast and reliable identification method of identifying e-comic contents. When illegally scanned or camera captured comic contents are distributed, they suffer from distortions. So the fingerprint differs from the original version. This paper presents a restoration framework for correcting geometric distortions in distorted comics to improve the comic content identification.

In this paper, a new watermarking algorithm for STL files which contains 3D geometric information as triangular facets is proposed. STL files are widely used in rapid prototyping industry as a standard interchange format. The proposed algorithm inserts multi-bit watermark information into the surface normal vector and vertex description area of STL file without distorting the original 3D geometric information. According to the watermark bits, the position of normal vector and the direction of vertex sequence are modulated. The proposed algorithm is robust to the attack of changing the order of the triangular meshes. In addition, the invisibility requirement is also satisfied. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can encode and decode watermark bits into the various STL files without any distortion of 3D shape.

For small-scale vector data, restrictions on watermark scheme capacity and robustness limit the use of copyright protection. A watermarking scheme based on robust geometric features and capacity maximization strategy that simultaneously improves capacity and robustness is presented in this paper. The distance ratio and angle of adjacent vertices are chosen as the watermark domain due to their resistance to vertex and geometric attacks. Regarding watermark embedding and extraction, a capacity-improved strategy based on quantization index modulation, which divides more intervals to carry sufficient watermark bits, is proposed. By considering the error tolerance of the vector map and the numerical accuracy, the optimization of the capacity-improved strategy is studied to maximize the embedded watermark bits for each vertex. The experimental results demonstrated that the map distortion caused by watermarks is small and much lower than the map tolerance. Additionally, the proposed scheme can embed a copyright image of 1024 bits into vector data of 150 vertices, which reaches capacity at approximately 14 bits/vertex, and shows prominent robustness against vertex and geometric attacks for small-scale vector data.

본 논문에서는 카메라 렌즈에서 흔히 발견할 수 있는 렌즈계 왜곡에 의한 영상 품질 저하 현상을 소개하고 이를 보정하는 방법을 제시한다. 렌즈계 왜곡은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데 기하학적 왜곡과 광도 왜곡이 그것이다. 이상적인 렌즈계가 아닌 경우 이러한 왜곡 현상은 필연적으로 발생을 하게 되는데 왜곡 보정을 위해서 기존의 카메라 캘리브레이션과는 다른 방식의 접근이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기하학적 왜곡 보정을 위한 이미지 워핑 방법을 제시하며 아울러 광도 왜곡 보정을 위한 보정 방법을 다루고자 한다.

일반적으로 디지털 영상에 대한 기존 워터마킹 기법은 기하학적인 왜곡에 허약하다. 본 논문에서는 기하학적인 왜곡에 강건한 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 워터마킹 기법은 워터마크의 생성단계 워터마크 삽입단계, 워터마크 추출 단계로 구성된다. 워터마크 생성단계에서는 시각적으로 구별이 가능한 그레이 영상을 워터마크로 사용하며, 워터마크 삽입 단계에서는 원 영상을 콤플렉스 웨이블릿 변환하여 위상 정보에 워터마크를 삽입한다. 그리고 워터마크 추출 단계에서는 워터마크된 영상으로부터 계층적으로 워터마크를 추출하여 자기 상관관계 비교에 의해 워터마크를 추출한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 이동, 크기 변환, 회전과 같은 기하학적인 변형에도 워터마크가 추출되는 것을 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a method that can compensate the geometric distortions of image caused from an arbitrary nonflat display surface(or wall) under the environment of portable overhead projector without a flat screen. In the proposed method, we first project a grid pattern to an arbitrary nonflat display surface and then derive an equation of straight line that represents the geometry relationship between the distorted grid pattern and the original grid pattern. Next, after determining the proper size of the original grid pattern according to the form of the display surface, we generate a compensation pattern from the derived equation of straight line, which can symmetrically compensate for the distorted image. Finally, we compensate for the geometric distortions of the projected image by segmenting the real image to be projected from portable overhead projector and prewarping it according to the compensation pattern. To evaluate the proposed method, we performed experiments of image compensation on inclined surface, bent surface and curved surface that are frequently occurred in the environment of portable overhead projector without a flat screen. From the experimental results, we found that the proposed method could be very effective in compensating for the general types of the geometric distortions of the projected images.
