To extract value-added products which are important in scientific area and practical life, e.g. digital elevation models, ortho-rectified images and geometric corrected images, Satellite Technology Research Center at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed a satellite image processing software called "Valadd-Pro". In this paper, "Valadd-Pro" software is briefly introduced and its main components such as precise geometric correction, ortho-rectification and digital elevation model extraction component are described. The performance of "Valadd-Pro" software was assessed on 10m resolution 6000 $\times$ 6000 SPOT panchromatic images (60km $\times$ 60km) using ground control points from GPS measurements. The height accuracy was measured by comparing our results with 100m resolution $DTEDs^{1)}$ produced by USGS and 60m resolution DEMs generated from digitized contours produced by National Geography Institute. Also, to show the superior performance of "Valadd-Pro" software, we compared the performance with that of commonly used PCI$\circledR$ commercial software. Based on the results, the geometric correction of "Valadd-Pro" software needs fewer ground control points than that of PCI$\circledR$ software and the ortho-rectification of "Valadd-Pro" software shows similar performance to that of PCI$\circledR$ software. In the digital elevation model extraction, "Valadd-Pro" software is two times more accurate and four times faster than PCI$\circledR$ software.ccurate and four times faster than PCI$\circledR$ software.

3차원상의 자유곡면에 대한 효율적인 기하 연산을 지원하기 위한 새로운 공간자료구조로서 토러스 패치 기반 정밀 근사를 이용한 자유곡면의 기하학적 처리 기법을 소개한다. 토러스는 곡률이 양이나 음인 경우뿐만 아니라, 0인 부분도 있으므로 자유곡면의 볼록, 오목 여부에 상관없이 곡면을 정밀하게 근사할 수 있다. 전통적인 기법과 달리 토러스 패치는 자유곡면의 법벡터 방향까지 쉽게 모델링할 수 있고, 토러스의 오프셋은 다시 토러스가 되므로 다양한 기하 연산의 가속화를 지원할 수 있다. 자유곡면과 이를 근사하는 토러스 패치 집합 사이의 양방향 하우스도르프 거 리의 상한을 계산하여 토러스 패치를 이용하여 자유곡면을 높은 정밀도로 근사할 수 있음을 보였다. 이 기법을 이용하여 두 자유곡면의 교차곡선 계산과 자유곡면의 오프셋 곡면 생성을 쉽게 처리할 수 있음을 보였다.

Generally, it is very difficult to inspect geometric shape of large 2D objects after machining. To maintain the accuracy for inspection, a robot vision is used to divide overall shape into several enlarged images, and image processing technique is applied to acquire one minute geometric contour. The inspection is to compare the NC data with the measured contour data by the vision system, and the algorithm is to rotate to minimize the maximum deviation after coinciding two geometric centers. This paper experimentally shows that the proposed algorithm is very useful for inspection of large machined objects.

Elasto-dynamic deformation of flexible linkage mechanism was analyzed using the finite element method. A computer program was constructed and applied to analyze a specific crank-level 4-bar mechanism, in which the elasto-dynamic deformation of the mechanism system was obtained using mode superposition method in the case of constant input speed and the effect of geometric stiffness on the mechanism is included. Experimental verification of numerical results was conducted by measuring the elasto-dynamic deformation of mid-points of coupler and lever for the 4-bar lingkage mechanism using high speed camera and image data processing systeem. For the elasto-dynamic deformation at the lever mid-point, the numerical results including geometric stiffness almost agree with the experimental ones. However, the numerical results excluding geometric stiffness good agree with the experimental ones at the couper mid-point.

The German radar satellite TerraSAR was launched in 2007. In this study, interferogram is generated using TerraSAR-X data and DEM (Digital Elevation Model). Coregistration procedures used with SAR images (i.e. master and slave) in traditional method results in serious errors for high resolution TerraSARX data because of the mutual shift of the master and slave images due to topography. This error becomes more serious in mountainous areas in which the coherence between interferometric pairs is relatively low. Here we processed a geometric coregistration with DEM exploiting height information. Through the method, interferometry processing is fulfilled to generate a qualified interferogram and coherence is improved. This approach will help high resolution X-band SAR interferometry in mountainous area.

A personal computer based color machine vision system with video camera and fluorescent lighting system was used to generate images of stationary tobacco leaves. Image processing algorithms were developed to extract both the geometric and the color features of tobacco leaves. Geometric features include area, perimeter, centroid, roundness and complex ratio. Color calibration scheme was developed to convert measured pixel values to the standard color unit using both statistics and artificial neural network algorithm. Improved back propagation algorithm showed less sum of square errors than multiple linear regression. Color features provide not only quality evaluation quantities but the accurate color measurement. Those quality features would be useful in grading tobacco automatically. This system would also be useful in measuring visual features of other agricultural products.

Non-contacting optical microscopes are increasingly used in recent industrial applications of probes for coordinate measuring machines. They have been found more efficient than conventional touch trigger porbes with ball tips especially in inspecting small-sized objects. There are two major factors affecting measuring accuracy: (1) geometric relations between coordinate systems, (2) magnification ratios of a microscope. In order to determine the magnification ratios exactly, optical imaging of edge was theroretically analyzed and practically adopted to image processing for edge detection. In addition, this paper proposes a geometric calibration method to obtain exact coordinates of measured points from the relations between the machine coordinate system and the image. In the method, the error according to the squareness between the machine axises was also removed. The method was practically adopted to a real coordinate measuring machine. An ultraprecision measurement of 0.2 um uncertainty can be practically achieved.

현재 카메라로 입력된 문자 영상 처리를 위한 기술 개발이 국내외에서 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 낮은 정확도나 처리시간이 많이 걸리는 문제점 등으로 실용화 비율은 현저히 낮다. 본 논문에서는 휴대단말기 카메라에서 얻은 영상으로 기하학적 정보를 이용한 차량 번호판 인식 방법을 제안한다. 휴대폰 영상의 낮은 해상도와 부족한 명암대비, 각도 차이 등을 고려한 전처리 작업 수행 후 투영에지 누적 계산을 통해 추출된 번호판 영역에서 체인코드와 Thickness 정보를 이용하여 문자를 인식한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 차량 번호판 인식 알고리즘의 문제점과 휴대단말기 영상 처리라는 점 등을 고려하여 가볍고 처리 시간을 단축시켰으며, 실험 결과 95%의 문자 인식 성공률을 얻었다. 향후 연구로 원거리 영상이나 모션블러가 가미된 영상에서의 번호판 인식 알고리즘을 모색할 예정이다.

Accurate mapping of satellite images is one of the most important Parts in many remote sensing applications. Since the position and the attitude of a satellite during image acquisition cannot be determined accurately enough, it is normal to have several hundred meters' ground-mapping errors in the systematically corrected images. The users which require a pixel-level or a sub-pixel level mapping accuracy for high-resolution satellite images must use a number of Ground Control Points (GCPs). In this paper, the performance of two geometric correction algorithms is tested and compared. One is the polynomial warping algorithm which is simple and popular enough to be implemented in most of the commercial satellite image processing software. The other is full camera modelling algorithm using Physical orbit-sensor-Earth geometry which is used in satellite image data receiving, pre-processing and distribution stations. Several criteria were considered for the performance analysis : ultimate correction accuracy, GCP representatibility, number of GCPs required, convergence speed, sensitiveness to inaccurate GCPs, usefulness of the correction results. This paper focuses on the usefulness of the precision correction algorithm for regular image pre-processing operations. This means that not only final correction accuracy but also the number of GCPs and their spatial distribution required for an image correction are important factors. Both correction algorithms were implemented and will be used for the precision correction of KITSAT-3 images.

고해상도 위성영상의 수요 증가로 국토교통부와 과학기술정보통신부에서 국토관측위성을 개발하고 있다. 국토관측위성의 주요 위성영상 산출물로 정밀보정영상, 정밀정사영상, DSM/DTM, 변화탐지 주제도 등이 계획되어 있다. 이러한 위성영상 산출물의 품질은 위성영상의 기하정확도에 기반하여 결정된다. 따라서, 고품질의 위성영상 산출물을 생성하기 위해 위성영상의 기하학적인 왜곡을 보정하는 것이 중요하다. 또한, 정밀기하수립을 위한 GCP를 취득하는 방법은 대체로 정사영상, 수치지도 등을 이용하여 수동으로 취득한다. 이 방식은 GCP를 취득하는데 많은 시간이 요구된다. 따라서, 자동으로 GCP를 추출하여 GCP 취득 시간과 정밀정사영상 생성 시간을 줄이는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해, 국토관측위성으로 촬영한 위성영상의 정밀한 기하보정과 GCP 추출 시 사용자의 개입을 최소화할 수 있는 정밀영상생성시스템을 개발하였다. 본 논문은 국토관측위성용으로 개발된 정밀영상생성시스템의 산출물, 처리 과정 및 시스템 구성에 대해서 설명하고 개발된 시스템의 처리시간 성능에 대해서 기술한다. 본 시스템을 통해 개발된 기술과 데이터베이스를 활용하여 한반도를 촬영한 모든 국토관측위성영상으로부터 신속하게 정밀정사영상을 생성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후, GCP DB와 DEM DB의 데이터를 해외지역으로 확장하여 해외지역의 정밀영상을 생성할 수 있는 후속 연구가 필요하다.
