A three-dimensional (3D) display system based on computer-generated integral photography (CGIP) is proposed and its feasibility is discussed. Instead of the pickup process in conventional IP, the elemental images of imaginary objects are computer-generated. Using these images, we observed autostereoscopic 3D images in full color and full parallax. The lateral and depth resolutions of the integrated images are limited by some factors such as the image position, object thickness, the lens width, and the pixel size of display panel.

A three-dimensional integral-floating display with 360 degree horizontal viewing angle is proposed. A lens array integrates two-dimensional elemental images projected by a digital micro-mirror device, reconstructing three-dimensional images. The three-dimensional images are then relayed to a mirror via double floating lenses. The mirror rotates in synchronization with the digital micro-mirror device to direct the relayed three-dimensional images to corresponding horizontal directions. By combining integral imaging and the rotating mirror scheme, the proposed method displays full-parallax three-dimensional images with 360 degree horizontal viewing angle.

영상 스티칭은 다수의 영상을 넓은 시야각을 갖는 하나의 영상으로 합성하여 사용자들에게 몰입감과 현장감을 제공하는 기술이다. 그러나 영상에 시차(Parallax)가 존재하는 경우 스티칭된 영상에서 왜곡이 발생할 수 있는데 이는 사용자의 몰입을 방해할 수 있다. 따라서 스티칭 영상의 다양한 활용을 위해서는 시차로 인한 왜곡을 최소화하여 자연스러운 스티칭 영상을 만드는 것이 중요하다. 기존 호모그래피 추정 방법으로 발생할 수 있는 고스트 현상을 최소화하기 위해서 seam 기반 스티칭 방법이 사용되었지만, 단순히 작은 특징값을 따라 생성된 seam은 사물 영역 정보가 반영되지 않아 seam이 특징이 있는 부분을 지나가면서 시차 왜곡이 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반의 MegaDepth를 활용한 depth 예측 정보를 에너지 함수 기반의 seam 생성 행렬의 가중치로 사용하여 seam이 사물을 피해 생성되면서 시차가 작은 영역으로 유도되도록 하는 seam optimization 기법을 제안한다.

최근 Panorama와 360도 영상이 대표되는 몰입형(Immersive) 미디어 콘텐츠의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 몰입형 영상 콘텐츠는 사용자에게 현장감을 제공해야 하지만, 촬영 카메라 간의 시차(Parallax)로 인해 영상 콘텐츠에서 시차 왜곡이 발생할 수 있고, 이는 사용자의 콘텐츠 몰입을 제한하기 때문에 해당 영상 콘텐츠의 제작 기술인 영상 스티칭의 높은 정확도가 요구되고 있다. 지금까지 스티칭 영상의 시차 왜곡을 줄이기 위하여 다중 호모그래피 추정 방법과 Seam Optimization 방법이 제안되었지만, 영상 내 사물 배치에 따라 기술 적용이 제한될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Mask R-CNN을 활용하여 사물을 세그먼트화하고, 사물의 종류에 따라 각각 다른 가중치 적용을 통해 시차 왜곡을 방지하며, 영상 내 사물의 배치에 따라 시차 왜곡이 발생할 상황에서는 사용자의 인지 중요도가 낮은 사물로 시차 왜곡을 유도하는 영상 스티칭 방법을 제안한다.

We propose a novel calibration method which can be applied to all kinds of panel-type multi-view displays. We analyze how the angular, the axial, and the lateral misalignment affects the 3D image quality in a panel-type multi-view display. We demonstrate the ray optics simulation with a 3-view slanted parallax barrier system using pentile display for the quantitative calculation. Based on the analysis, we propose a new alignment pattern for all kinds of panel-type multi-view displays. The proposed pattern is sensitive to all of the angular, the axial, and the lateral misalignments. The high spatial frequency images and on and off alignment in the proposed pattern help observers to calibrate the system easily. We theoretically show the generality of the proposed alignment pattern and verify the pattern with image simulations and experiments.

Depth recovery in robot vision is an essential problem to infer the three dimensional geometry of scenes from a sequence of the two dimensional images. In the past, many studies have been proposed for the depth estimation such as stereopsis, motion parallax and blurring phenomena. Among cues for depth estimation, depth from lens translation is based on shape from motion by using feature points. This approach is derived from the correspondence of feature points detected in images and performs the depth estimation that uses information on the motion of feature points. The approaches using motion vectors suffer from the occlusion or missing part problem, and the image blur is ignored in the feature point detection. This paper presents a novel approach to the defocus technique based depth from lens translation using sequential SVD factorization. Solving such the problems requires modeling of mutual relationship between the light and optics until reaching the image plane. For this mutuality, we first discuss the optical properties of a camera system, because the image blur varies according to camera parameter settings. The camera system accounts for the camera model integrating a thin lens based camera model to explain the light and optical properties and a perspective projection camera model to explain the depth from lens translation. Then, depth from lens translation is proposed to use the feature points detected in edges of the image blur. The feature points contain the depth information derived from an amount of blur of width. The shape and motion can be estimated from the motion of feature points. This method uses the sequential SVD factorization to represent the orthogonal matrices that are singular value decomposition. Some experiments have been performed with a sequence of real and synthetic images comparing the presented method with the depth from lens translation. Experimental results have demonstrated the validity and shown the applicability of the proposed method to the depth estimation.

Recently, stereoscopic technology has become a potential for blue ocean as a new growth power industry, and interest in it has been steadily increasing with the development of virtual and augmented reality technologies. Various methods such as binocular parallax and polarized glasses have been developed and used for stereoscopic image expression, but they have limitations such as eye damage, headache, crosstalk and resolution degradation. In this paper, we present a new method of stereoscopic image representation that can overcome the limitations and verify its applicability through basic experiments for object extraction and real - time image representation.

From the 2-D image extracting three-dimensional information as the latter is in the bilateral sibeop using two camera method and when using a monocular camera as a very important step generally as "stereo vision". There in today's CCTV and automatic object tracking system used in many medium much to know the site conditions or work developed more clearly by using a stereo camera that mimics the eyes of humans to maximize the efficiency of avoidance / control start and multiple jobs can do. Object tracking system of the existing 2D image will have but can not recognize the distance to the transition could not be recognized by the observer display using a parallax of a stereo image, and the object can be more effectively controlled.

In many applications, images acquired from multiple cameras are stitched to form an image with a wide viewing angle. We propose a method of estimating a seam line using motion information to stitch multiple images without distortion of the moving object. Existing seam estimation techniques usually utilize an energy function based on image gradient information and parallax. In this paper, we propose a seam estimation technique that prevents distortion of moving object by adding temporal motion information, which is calculated from the gradient information of each frame. We also propose a measure to quantify the distortion level of stitched images and to verify the performance differences between the existing and proposed methods.

Most 3D displays that are currently in the market adopt the binocular disparity method creating a different image for the left and right eye for a 3 dimensional effect. However, commercialized 3D image output devices lack in performance making it uncomfortable for the viewer and restrict the viewer to certain positions. In this paper, we propose a single-cell polarized lens type stereoscopic system which has a smaller viewing angle and reduced crosstalk, with improved light penetration compared to existing double-cell structures; and analyzed the single-cell polarized lens type stereoscopic system properties, and conducted an effect analysis of performance improvement compared to the dual-cell type. Results showed that the single-cell type had a 25% improved performance, and the 3D crosstalk index which is an important index for quality characteristics of stereoscopic systems, increased over about 37%, compared to the dual-cell type.
