This paper considers the lens distortions such as a fisheye distortion and a perspective distortion. While a fisheye lens has a wide field-of-view, it causes a large distortion to the images. Regardless of a fisheye lens or a rectilinear lens, a lens generates perspective distortion in a vertical direction when the lens views in an upward direction or downward direction. These distortions deform images differently from human visual functions. Therefore, this paper presents a method to correct the distortions, and whereby, the research in this paper enlarges choices of images to image processing algorithm that may select the distorted images and the corrected images depending on applications. An infinite polynomial model is employed in the fisheye radial distortion correction, and the vertical perspective distortion correction is done by using a vanishing point. The methods introduced in this paper are implemented on the images captured by a rear-view camera installed on a vehicle and showed their robustness of the correction.

In this paper, we propose a method for correction of perspective distortion on a taken image. An image taken by a camera is caused perspective distortion depending on the direction of the camera when objects are projected onto the image. The proposed method in this paper is to obtain the normal vector of the plane through the depth information using a depth camera and calculate the direction of the camera based on this normal vector. Then the method corrects the perspective distortion to the view taken from the front side by performing a rotation transformation on the image according to the direction of the camera. Through the proposed method, it is possible to increase the processing speed than the conventional method such as correction of perspective distortion based on color information.

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.

본 논문에서는 집적영상의 획득 과정에서 발생하는 기하학적 왜곡 중 투영 왜곡을 교정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 집적영상의 스펙트럼 특성을 이용하여 왜곡 교정을 수행한다. 집적영상의 요소영상들이 대체로 주기적으로 반복됨에 따라 집적영상을 푸리에 변환하였을 경우 그 스펙트럼이 임펄스열로 나타난다. 반면, 왜곡이 존재하는 영상에서는 임펄스열이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않는 특성이 있다. 따라서 집적영상의 푸리에 변환을 통해 얻어진 스펙트럼의 특성을 이용하여 투영 왜곡 파라미터를 찾아내고 이를 이용하여 교정하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 왜곡을 효과적으로 교정하는지 검증한다.

어안 렌즈 카메라로 촬영한 어안 영상은 일반 카메라 영상보다 화각이 크다. 반면 영상에서 피사체의 왜곡이 커서 사용자의 인지가 어려우므로 원근 영상으로 변환이 필요하다. 기존의 Ishii 방법[1]은 등거리 투영을 사용하므로 피사체가 변환 영상에서 크기와 기하학적 왜곡이 생기는 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 스케일링 함수를 이용한 어안 영상의 원근 영상 변환 방법을 제안하였다. 실험에서, 제안한 방법은 스케일링 함수를 적용함으로써 크기 왜곡과 기하학적 왜곡이 감소되었다.

In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method that it is to correct the distortion of text area in Korean signboard images as a preprocessing step to improve character recognition. Distorted perspective in recognizing of Korean signboard text may cause of the low recognition rate. The proposed method consists of four main steps and eight sub-steps: main step consists of potential vertical components detection, vertical components detection, text-boundary estimation and distortion correction. First, potential vertical line components detection consists of four steps, including edge detection for each connected component, pixel distance normalization in the edge, dominant-point detection in the edge and removal of horizontal components. Second, vertical line components detection is composed of removal of diagonal components and extraction of vertical line components. Third, the outline estimation step is composed of the left and right boundary line detection. Finally, distortion of the text image is corrected by bilinear transformation based on the estimated outline. We compared the changes in recognition rates of OCR before and after applying the proposed algorithm. The recognition rate of the distortion corrected signboard images is 29.63% and 21.9% higher at the character and the text unit than those of the original images.

Natural images often contain useful information about the scene such as text or company logos placed on a rectangular shaped plane. The 2D images captured from such objects by a camera are often distorted, because of the effects of the perspective projection camera model. This distortion makes the acquisition of the text information difficult. In this study, we detect the rectangular object on which the text is written, then the image is restored by removing the perspective distortion. The Hough transform is used to detect the boundary lines of the rectangular object and a bilinear transformation is applied to restore the original image.

For visual measurement under dynamic scenarios, a zoom lens camera is more flexible than a fixed one. However, the challenges of distortion prediction within the whole focal range limit the widespread application of zoom lens cameras greatly. Thus, a novel sequential distortion correction method for a zoom lens camera is proposed in this study. In this paper, a distortion assessment method without coupling effect is depicted by an elaborated chessboard pattern. Then, the appropriate distortion correction model for a zoom lens camera is derived from the comparisons of some existing models and methods. To gain a rectified image at any zoom settings, a global distortion correction modeling method is developed with bundle adjustment. Based on some selected zoom settings, the optimized quadratic functions of distortion parameters are obtained from the global perspective. Using the proposed method, we can rectify all images from the calibrated zoom lens camera. Experimental results of different zoom lens cameras validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In a robot/vision system, the vision sensor, typically a CCD array sensor, is mounted on the robot hand. The problem of determining the relationship between the camera frame and the robot hand frame is refered to as the hand-eye calibration. In the literature, various methods have been suggested to calibrate camera and for sensor registration. Recently, one-step approach which combines camera calibration and sensor registration is suggested by Horaud & Dornaika. In this approach, camera extrinsic parameters are not need to be determined at all configurations of robot. In this paper, by modifying the camera model and including the lens distortion effect in the perspective transformation matrix, a new one-step approach is proposed in the hand-eye calibration.
