홍수시 하천의 유량측정은 매우 어렵고 위험하며 많은 노력과 비용이 드는 작업이다. 이러한 홍수시 유량측정을 위해 영상을 이용하여 하천의 표면유속을 측정하고 여기서 유량을 산정하는 기술은 하천 유량 측정의 자동화와 안전한 유량 측정을 위한 대안으로 크게 주목받고 있다. 그런데, 유속측정을 위해 20~40초 정도의 영상의 평균유속을 구하고자 하면, 방대한 양의 영상처리에 많은 시간이 소요되어 실시간 측정이나 분석이 어렵게 된다. 본 연구는 영상을 이용하여 홍수시 하천의 유량을 실시간으로 측정하기 위해 투영변환과 시공간영상 분석법을 적용하여 실용적인 표면영상유속계를 개발하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해, 3차원 투영변환(11변수 변환)을 적용하여 측정선과 유속측정점의 위치를 영상내에 특정하고 이 부분만을 추출하여 시공간 영상(spatio-temporal images)으로 구성하고, 이 시공간 영상을 분석하여 유속과 유량을 산출하는 기법을 개발하였다. 즉, 하천의 주흐름 방향의 유속만을 산정하도록 하여 영상의 분석에 소요되는 계산량과 계산시간을 단축하였다. 또한, 시공간 분석과정도 기존의 CASTI (Correlation Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Images)를 훨씬 간단하고 빠르게 계산할 수 있도록 개량하였다. 그 결과 영상의 유속분석 및 유량산정에 소요되는 시간을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있었으며, 실시간으로 유량 측정이 가능하게 되었다.

A 3D reconstruction technique from stereo images that requires minimal intervention from the user has been developed. The reconstruction problem consists of three steps of estimating specific geometry groups. The first step is estimating the epipolar geometry that exists between the stereo image pairs which includes feature matching in both images. The second is estimating the affine geometry, a process to find a special plane in the projective space by means of vanishing points. The third step, which includes camera self-calibration, is obtaining a metric geometry from which a 3D model of the scene could be obtained. The major advantage of this method is that the stereo images do not need to be calibrated for reconstruction. The results of camera calibration and reconstruction have shown the possibility of obtaining a 3D model directly from features in the images.

In this paper, the correspondence matching method of stereo images was proposed by means of sampling projective transformation matrix in planar region of scene. Though this study is based on RANSAC, it does not use uniform distribution by random sampling in RANSAC, but use multi non-uniform computed from difference in positions of feature point of image or templates matching. The existing matching method sampled that the correspondence is presumed to correct by use of the condition which the correct correspondence is almost satisfying, and applied RANSAC by matching the correspondence into one to one, but by sampling in stages in multi probability distribution computed for image in the proposed method, the correct correspondence of high probability can be sampled among multi correspondence candidates effectively. In the result, we could obtain many correct correspondence and verify effectiveness of the proposed method in the simulation and experiment of real images.

The detection of foreground objects in a projection display using color information can be hard due to changing lighting conditions and complex backgrounds. Accordingly, the current paper proposes a foreground object detection method using color information that is obtained from the input image to the Projector and an image captured by a camera above the projection display. After pixel correspondences between the two images are found by calibrating the geometry distortion and color distortion, the natural color variations are estimated for the projection display. Then, any pixel that has another variation not resulting from natural geometry or color distortion is considered a part of foreground objects, because a foreground object in a projection display changes the values of pixels. As shown by experimental results, the proposed foreground detection method is applicable to an interactive projection display system such as the DigitalDesk

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and investigate why and how these 4 factors (the images of country of origin, imported luxury brand, objective products' characteristics and Projective consumer's peculiarity) impact product preferences & purchasing intention of consumers who plan to buy "Imported Luxury Branded goods". For this study the research directions are: 1. To find each impact of Country of Origin and Brand image which influence "the preference of imported luxury brand items". 2. To analyze the difference of "the effects of Country or Origin" which impacts product preference when consumers buy imported luxury branded goods, which have different purchasing risks. 3. To verify the difference of products' characteristics that have different purchasing risks through comparing the image of country of origin and brand. 4. To analyze and compare "the purchasing behavior of Korean consumers" for achieving research universality. In order to verify that those 4 factors (the images of country of origin, imported luxury brand, objective products' characteristics and prospective consumer's peculiarity) impact on product preferences & purchasing intention of consumers, the linear structural equation model was developed. According to this research model, 9 hypotheses were designed.

Visual tracking technique is one of the essential things which are very important in the major fields of modern society. While contour tracking is especially necessary technique in the aspect of its fast performance with target's external contour information, it sometimes fails to track target motion because it is affected by the surrounding edges around target and weak egdes on the target boundary. To overcome these weak points, in this research it is suggested that PDMs can be obtained by generating the virtual 6-DOF motions of the mobile robot with a CCD camera and the image tracking system which is robust to the local minima around the target can be configured by constructing Active Shape Model in modular base. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, the experiment is performed on the image stream obtained by a real mobile robot and the better performance is confirmed by comparing the experimental results with the ones of other major tracking techniques.

In this paper, we propose a landmark recognition method which is irrelevant to the camera viewpoint on the navigation for localization. Features in previous research is variable to camera viewpoint, therefore due to the wealth of information, extraction of visual landmarks for positioning is not an easy task. The proposed method in this paper, has the three following stages; first, extraction of features, second, learning and recognition, third, matching. In the feature extraction stage, we set the interest areas of the image. where we extract the corner points. And then, we extract features more accurate and resistant to noise through statistical analysis of a small eigenvalue. In learning and recognition stage, we form robust feature models by testing whether the feature model consisted of five corner points is an invariant feature irrelevant to viewpoint. In the matching stage, we reduce time complexity and find correspondence accurately by matching method using similarity evaluation function and Graham search method. In the experiments, we compare and analyse the proposed method with existing methods by using various indoor images to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods.

In the development of linear perspective, Brook Taylor's theory has achieved a special position. With his method described in Linear Perspective(1715) and New Principles of Linear Perspective(1719), the subject of linear perspective became a generalized and abstract theory rather than a practical method for painters. He is known to be the first who used the term 'vanishing point'. Although a similar concept has been used form the early stage of Renaissance linear perspective, he developed a new method of British perspective technique of measure points based on the concept of 'vanishing points'. In the 15th and 16th century linear perspective, pictorial space is considered as independent space detached from the outer world. Albertian method of linear perspective is to construct a pavement on the picture in accordance with the centric point where the centric ray of the visual pyramid strikes the picture plane. Comparison to this traditional method, Taylor established the concent of a vanishing point (and a vanishing line), namely, the point (and the line) where a line (and a plane) through the eye point parallel to the considered line (and the plane) meets the picture plane. In the traditional situation like in Albertian method, the picture plane was assumed to be vertical and the center of the picture usually corresponded with the vanishing point. On the other hand, Taylor emphasized the role of vanishing points, and as a result, his method entered the domain of projective geometry rather than Euclidean geometry. For Taylor's theory was highly abstract and difficult to apply for the practitioners, there appeared many perspective treatises based on his theory in England since 1740s. Joshua Kirby's Dr. Brook Taylor's Method of Perspective Made Easy, Both in Theory and Practice(1754) was one of the most popular treatises among these posterior writings. As a well-known painter of the 18th century English society and perspective professor of the St. Martin's Lane Academy, Kirby tried to bridge the gap between the practice of the artists and the mathematical theory of Taylor. Trying to ease the common readers into Taylor's method, Kirby somehow abbreviated and even omitted several crucial parts of Taylor's ideas, especially concerning to the inverse problems of perspective projection. Taylor's theory and Kirby's handbook reveal us that the development of linear perspective in European society entered a transitional phase in the 18th century. In the European tradition, linear perspective means a representational system to indicated the three-dimensional nature of space and the image of objects on the two-dimensional surface, using the central projection method. However, Taylor and following scholars converted linear perspective as a complete mathematical and abstract theory. Such a development was also due to concern and interest of contemporary artists toward new visions of infinite space and kaleidoscopic phenomena of visual perception.

The rational polynomial coefficients(RPC) model is a generalized sensor model that is used as an alternative for the physical sensor model for IKONOS-2 and QuickBird. As the number of sensors increases along with greater complexity, and as the need for standard sensor model has become important, the applicability of the RPC model is also increasing. The RPC model can be substituted for all sensor models, such as the projective camera the linear pushbroom sensor and the SAR This paper is aimed at generating a RPC model from the physical sensor model of the KOMPSAT-1(Korean Multi-Purpose Satellite) and aerial photography. The KOMPSAT-1 collects $510{\sim}730nm$ panchromatic images with a ground sample distance (GSD) of 6.6m and a swath width of 17 km by pushbroom scanning. We generated the RPC from a physical sensor model of KOMPSAT-1 and aerial photography. The iterative least square solution based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to estimate the RPC. In addition, data normalization and regularization are applied to improve the accuracy and minimize noise. And the accuracy of the test was evaluated based on the 2-D image coordinates. From this test, we were able to find that the RPC model is suitable for both KOMPSAT-1 and aerial photography.
