본 논문에서는 실시간으로 주행 중인 차량의 영상을 대상으로 ROI 영역을 추출하고 추출된 ROI 영역에 Warping 기법과 RANSAC 알고리즘을 적용하여 곡선 차선을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 실시간 영상에서 관심 영역을 ROI 영역으로 설정하고 영상의 원근감을 제거하기 위하여 Warping을 적용한다. Warping이 적용된 영상에서 차선의 밝기는 도로의 밝기보다 높다는 특징을 이용하여 노란색과 흰색 차선의 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 차선의 영역에서 곡선을 검출하기 위하여 RANSAC 알고리즘을 적용하여 곡선을 검출하기 위한 기준점을 설정한 후, 스플라인 기법을 적용하여 곡선을 검출한다. 실시간적으로 주행 중인 차량에서 촬영한 동영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 곡선 차선이 효과적으로 검출되었다. 따라서 제안된 방법이 자율 주행에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

There are various image retrieval methods using shape, color and texture features. One of the most active area is using shape and color information. A number of shape representations have been suggested to recognize shapes even under affine transformation. There are many kinds of method for shape recognition, the well-known method is Fourier descriptors and moment invariant. The other method is CSS(Curvature Scale Space). The maxima of curvature scale space image have already been used to represent 2-D shapes in different applications. Because preexistence CSS exists several problems, in this paper we use improved CSS method for retrieval image. There are two kinds of method, One is using RGB color information feature and the other is using HSI color information feature. In this paper we used HSI color model to represent color histogram before, then use it as comparison measure. The similarity is measured by using Euclidean distance and for reduce search time and accuracy, We use DTW for measure similarity. Compare with the result of using Euclidean distance, we can find efficiency elevated.

In this paper, by using the Morphing, if the size of the eyes of both sides are not the same, we propose a method to correct the size of eyes area. First, by using the Haar-like feature from a input image that is input, to detect the shape of the eyes and face. After inverting the left and right eye region of one of the shape of the eyes detected sets the correspondence between the second with a line to control the shape of the eyes detected using eyes that is detected with canny edge, in the previous step. To the Warping to match the correspondence was then set in the previous step, an area of each eye. Then, I merge the image which merged in the eye area is detected from the original image. As a result, a system result of the experiment in the test image and face image seen from the front, the proposed, prove to be more efficient than a method of keying the size of the eye only.

In this paper, we present a marker detection and recognition method from camera image for a disabled person to interact with a server system which can control appliance of surrounding environment. It converts the camera image to a binary image by using multi-threshold and extracts contours of objects in the binary image. After that, it approximates the contours to a list of line segments. It finds rectangular markers by using geometrical features which are extracted from the approximated line segments. It normalizes the shape of extracted markers into exact squares by using the warping technique. It extracts feature vectors from marker image by using principal component analysis and then recognizes the marker. The proposed marker recognition system is robust for light change by using multi-threshold. Also, it is robust for angular variation of camera by using warping technique and principal component analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 100% recognition rate at maximum for 21 markers and execution speed of 12 frames/sec.

This paper proposes a new motion estimation algorithm that employs matching in a variable search area. Instead of uisg a fixed search range for coarse motion estimation, we examine a varying search range, which is determined adaptively by the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the frame difference. The hexagonal matching method is one of the refined methods in image warping. It produces improved image quality, but it requires a large amount of computataions. The proposed adaptive partial matching method reduces computational complexity below about 50% of the hexagonal matching method, while maintaining the image quality comparable. The performance of two motion compensation methods, which combine the affine or bilinear transformation with the proposed motion estimation algorithm, is evaluated based on the following criteria:computtational complexity, number of coding bits, and reconstructed image quality. The quality of reconstructed images by the proposed method is substantially improved relative to the conventional BMA method, and is comparable to the full hexagonal matching method;in addition, computational complexity and the number of coding bits are reduced significantly.

We introduce a novel complete framework for contructing realistic facial animations given just one facial photo as an input in this paper. Our approach is carried on in 2D photo spacem not 3D space. Moreover, we utilize computer vision-based technique (digital matting) as well as conventional image processing methods (image warping and texture synthesis) for expressing more realistic facial animations. Simulated results show that our scheme produces high quality facial animations very efficiently.

Morphing method, one of classic image processing algorithms, has been used in various application fields. The motivation of this work is to investigate its applicability in consideration to geo-spatial data including airborne or space-borne images. For this purpose, the Beier and Neely morphing algorithm is tentatively implemented in the form of a prototype with user interface. As the results, this feature-based morphing with paired image sets can be used for general users: image simulation using two or more images and construction of color-blending image between source image and destination image in different types. Some simple application cases were demonstrated. This scheme is the simple and useful approach for those who want to utilize both geo-spatial data sets and airborne/space-borne image sets.

In this paper, we propose a foreground extraction and depth map generation method using a time-of-flight (TOF) depth camera. Although, the TOF depth camera captures the scene's depth information in real-time, it has a built-in noise and distortion. Therefore, we perform several preprocessing steps such as image enhancement, segmentation, and 3D warping, and then use the TOF depth data to generate the depth-discontinuity regions. Then, we extract the foreground object and generate the depth map as of the color image. The experimental results show that the proposed method efficiently generates the depth map even for the object boundary and textureless regions.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme to generate region-of-interest (ROI) enhanced depth maps in the hybrid camera system, which is composed of a low-resolution depth camera and a high-resolution stereoscopic camera. The proposed method creates an ROI depth map for the left image by carrying out a three-dimensional (3-D) warping operation onto the depth information obtained from the depth camera. Then, we generate a background depth map for the left image by applying a stereo matching algorithm onto the left and right images captured by the stereoscopic camera. Finally, we merge the ROI map with the background one to create the final depth map. The proposed method provides higher quality depth information on ROI than the previous methods.

번호판 자동인식 (ALPR: Automatic License Plate Recognition)은 지능형 교통시스템 및 비디오 감시 시스템 등 많은 응용 분야에서 필요한 기술이다. 대부분의 연구는 자동차를 대상으로 번호판 감지 및 인식을 연구하였고, 오토바이를 대상으로 번호판 감지 및 인식은 매우 적은 편이다. 자동차의 경우 번호판이 차량의 전방 또는 후방 중앙에 위치하며 번호판의 뒷배경은 주로 단색으로 덜 복잡한 편이다. 그러나 오토바이의 경우 킥 스탠드를 이용하여 세우기 때문에 주차할 때 오토바이는 다양한 각도로 기울어져 있으므로 번호판의 글자 및 숫자 인식하는 과정이 훨씬 더 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 각도로 주차된 오토바이 데이트세트에 대하여 번호판의 문자 인식 정확도를 높이기 위하여 2-스테이지 YOLOv2 알고리즘을 사용하여 오토바이 영역을 선 검출 후 번호판 영역을 검지한다. 인식률을 높이기 위해 앵커박스의 사이즈와 개수를 오토바이 특성에 맞추어 조절하였다. 그 후 기울어진 번호판을 검출한 후 영상 워핑(Image Warping) 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 모의실험 결과, 기존 방식의 인식률이 47,74%에 비해 제안된 방식은 80.23%의 번호판의 인식률을 얻었다. 제안된 방법은 전체적으로 오토바이 번호판 특성에 맞는 앵커박스와 이미지 워핑을 통해서 다양한 기울기의 오토바이 번호판 문자 인식을 높일 수 있었다.
