Lens distortions have a significant impact on captured or projected image geometry. This paper proposes a lens distortion correction with gradient components for wide-angle lenses. In most cases, distortion coefficients are estimated using a distortion model by point correspondences. Corrected images using only point correspondences can be compensated excessively, therefore, producing bended lines into the opposite direction near the corners. To curtail these phenomena, we propose to adopt the gradient components in addition to positions to obtain the distortion coefficients. We verified the improved accuracy and the straightness of the proposed method through experimentation.

According to the characteristics of adaptive JPEG steganography which determines the changed DCT coefficients based on embedding distortion, a new steganalysis method by selecting the DCT coefficients with small distortion values is proposed. Firstly, the principle of adaptive JPEG steganography through minimizing distortion is introduced. Secondly, the practicability of selecting the changed DCT coefficients according to distortion values is studied. Thirdly, the proposed steganalysis method is given and the embedding sensitivity of the steganalysis feature extracted from the selected DCT coefficients is analyzed. Lastly, the implement processes of the proposed method are presented and analyzed in details. In the experiments, PQt, PQe and J-UNIWARD steganography are used as examples to verify the effect of the proposed steganalysis method for adaptive JPEG steganography. A serial experimental results show the detection accuracy can be improved obviously, especially when the payload is relatively low.

When the planar area is captured by the depth camera, the shape of the plane in the captured image has perspective projection distortion according to the position of the camera. We can correct the distorted image by the depth information in the plane in the captured area. Previous depth information based perspective distortion correction methods fail to satisfy the real-time property due to a large amount of computation. In this paper, we propose the method of applying the conversion table selectively by measuring the motion of the plane and performing the correction process by parallel processing for correcting perspective projection distortion. By appling the proposed method, the system for correcting perspective projection distortion correct the distorted image, whose resolution is 640x480, as 22.52ms per frame, so the proposed system satisfies the real-time property.

An off-axis integral floating system using a concave mirror is analyzed to resolve the image distortion incurred by the off-axis optical arrangement. The concave mirror can be adopted as the floating device to improve the optical efficiency. The image distortion due to the tilting axis of the concave mirror needs to be analyzed precisely to generate the pre-distortion image. In this paper, we calculate the image deformation in the off-axis structure of the concave mirror using the geometrical optics. Using the calculation results, the compensated elemental image can be generated for the pre-distortion integrated image, which can be projected to the floating 3D image without image distortion. The basic experiments of the off-axis integral floating are presented to prove and verify the proposal.

The state-of-the-art video-based point cloud compression(V-PCC) has a high efficiency of compressing 3D point cloud by projecting points onto 2D images. These images are then padded and compressed by High-Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC). Pixels in padded 2D images are classified into three groups including origin pixels, padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Origin pixels are generated from projection of 3D point cloud. Padded pixels and unoccupied pixels are generated by copying values from origin pixels during image padding. For padded pixels, they are reconstructed to 3D space during geometry reconstruction as well as origin pixels. For unoccupied pixels, they are not reconstructed. The rate distortion optimization(RDO) used in HEVC is mainly aimed at keeping the balance between video distortion and video bitrates. However, traditional RDO is unreliable for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels, which leads to significant waste of bits in geometry reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new RDO scheme which takes 3D-Distortion into account instead of traditional video distortion for padded pixels and unoccupied pixels. Firstly, these pixels are classified based on the occupancy map. Secondly, different strategies are applied to these pixels to calculate their 3D-Distortions. Finally, the obtained 3D-Distortions replace the sum square error(SSE) during the full RDO process in intra prediction and inter prediction. The proposed method is applied to geometry frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves an average of 31.41% and 6.14% bitrate saving for D1 metric in Random Access setting and All Intra setting on geometry videos compared with V-PCC anchor.

본 논문은 웨이블릿 변환 특성을 기반으로 조명의 영향을 표현하는 표준 영상 왜곡 모델을 구축하여 조명 및 기타 영상의 왜곡에 강한 얼굴검출 기법을 제시한다. PC카메라 환경에서와 같이 입력 영상의 명암왜곡이 지속적으로 존재하는 응용에서는 히스토그램 평활화, 명세화와 같은 기존의 명암도 보정 방법으로는 효율적인 얼굴탐색이 어렵다. 따라서 입력 영상의 왜곡정보를 분석하고 이 정보가 입력 영상의 보정에 사용될 수 있다면 효율적인 얼굴검출이 수행될 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 입력 영상의 웨이블릿 변환으로 얻어진 각 고주파 영역의 픽셀을 조사하여 원 영상의 가로, 세로, 대각선 방향의 에지 정보를 분석함으로써 현재 입력된 영상의 명암 상태를 확인하고, 얼굴특징요소 중 눈을 기준으로 검출을 수행하여 아주 어둡거나 밝은 환경에서도 얼굴검출 성능을 높이도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 H.264 부호화기에서 고속의 율-왜곡 최적화된 모드 결정을 위한 효과적인 율-왜곡 예측 방식을 제안한다. 비트율과 왜곡치가 최소가 되는 율-왜곡 최적화된 모드를 결정하기 위해서는 각 매크로 블록 모드를 부호화하고 복호화 하여 비트율과 왜곡치를 계산해야 한다. 이 과정에서 요구되는 계산량을 줄이고자 DCT 영역에서 비트율과 왜곡치를 효과적으로 예측하는 방식을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과는 제안 방식을 이용하여 모드 결정을 하였을 때 율-왜곡 성능은 거의 유지되면서 H.264의 율-왜곡 최적화된 모드 결정 계산량의 약 81%를 감소시키고 전체 부호화 계산량의 약 26%를 감소시킴을 보여준다.

The objective of camera calibration is to determine the internal optical characteristics of camera and 3D position and orientation of camera with respect to the real world. Calibration procedure applicable to general purpose cameras and lenses. The general method to revise the accuracy rate of calibration is using mathematical distortion of lens. The effective og calibration show big difference in proportion to distortion of camera lens. In this paper, we propose the method which calibration distortion model by using neural network. The neural network model implicity contains all the distortion model. We can predict the high accuracy of calibration method proposed in this paper. Neural network can set properly the distortion model which has difficulty to estimate exactly in general method. The performance of the proposed neural network approach is compared with the well-known Tsai's two stage method in terms of calibration errors. The results show that the proposed approach gives much more stable and acceptabke calibration error over Tsai's two stage method regardless of camera resolution and camera angle.

In this paper, the new hybrid adaptive Volterra filter was proposed to be applied for compensating the nonlinear distortion of memoryless nonlinear systems with saturation characteristics. Through computer simulations as well as the analytical analysis, it could be shown that it is possible for both conventional Volterra filter and proposed hybrid Volterra filter, to be applied for linearizing the memoryless nonlinear system with nonlinear distortion. Also, the simulations results demonstrated that the proposed hybrid filter may have faster convergence speed and better capability of compensating the nonlinear distortion than the conventional Volterra filter.

Radio over Fiber(ROF) 채널에서의 비선형효과는 시스템의 성능을 감소하는 주요 원인 중에 하나이다. 특히, 휴대인터넷 및 고속무선통신에서 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex(OFDM) 방식이 주로 사용되는데 이 신호가 ROF 링크를 통하여 전송될 때 전체 시스템의 성능을 충족하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Mach-Zehnder(MZ) 변조기를 사용한 5.8GHz의 OFDM 신호기반 RoF 링크의 비선형효과를 해석하였다. OFDM-RoF 시스템의 평균자승오차 성능을 구하였다. 변조 왜곡된 후 RoF 링크에서 단일 캐리어에 대한 평균자승오차 성능과 SNR이 20dB로 고정된 경우 왜곡이 없는 OFDM신호를 사용한 경우의 평균자승오차 성능을 비교 검증하였다. OFDM-RoF 링크를 선형화하기 위하여 offset 바이어스 등 pre-distortion기술을 사용하였다. Pre-distortion기술에 따른 distortion-free dynamic range 및 SNR의 성능결과를 비교하였다.
