3D GIS(Geographic Information System) processes, analyzes and presents various real-world 3D phenomena by building 3D spatial information of real-world terrain, facilities, etc., and working with visualization technique such as VR(Virtual Reality). It can be applied to such areas as urban management system, traffic information system, environment management system, disaster management system, ocean management system, etc,. In this paper, we propose video visualization technology based on 3D geographic information to provide effectively real-time information in 3D geographic information system and also present methods for establishing 3D building information data. The proposed video visualization system can provide real-time video information based on 3D geographic information by projecting real-time video stream from network video camera onto 3D geographic objects and applying texture-mapping of video frames onto terrain, facilities, etc.. In this paper, we developed sem i-automatic DBM(Digital Building Model) building technique using both aerial im age and LiDAR data for 3D Projective Texture Mapping. 3D geographic information system currently provide static visualization information and the proposed method can replace previous static visualization information with real video information. The proposed method can be used in location-based decision-making system by providing real-time visualization information, and moreover, it can be used to provide intelligent context-aware service based on geographic information.

In this paper, we present a robust global registration algorithm for multi-frame image mosaics. When we perform a pair-wise registration recovering a projective transformation between two consecutive frames, severe mis-registration among multiple frames, which are not consecutive, can be detected. It is because the concatenation of those pair-wise transformations leads to global alignment errors. To overcome those mis-registrations, we propose a new algorithm using multiple frames for constructing image mosaics. We use a graph to represent the temporal and spatial connectivity and show that global registration can be obtained through the search for an optimal path in the constructed graph. The definition of an adequate objective function characterizing the global registration provides a direct manipulation of the graph. In the presence of moving objects, especially large ones compared with low texture backgrounds, by using the likelihood ratio as the objective function, we can deal with some of the most challenging videos like basketball or soccer Moreover, the algorithm can be parallelized so it can be more efficiently implemented. Finally, we give some experimental results from real videos.

본 논문에서는 대형 스크린 기반 디스플레이 환경에서 시각 커뮤니케이션 증진을 위한 비디오 아바타 생성 기법에 대하여 소개한다. 일반적으로 대형 스크린 기반 가상 환경에서는 스크린으로 투사되는 빛의 변화 때문에 정적 배경을 보장할 수 없다. 뿐만 아니라 카메라 위치 설정이 자유롭지 못하기 때문에 디스플레이 환경 내에 있는 사용자를 대상으로 비디오 아바타를 생성하기 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 적외선 및 필터를 이용하여 가시광선을 차단함으로써 사용자 영역을 쉽게 정의할 수 있도록 하였고, 나란히 배치된 컬러 영상에 실루엣 마스크를 적합하여 배경이 제거된 사용자 컬러 영상을 추출할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 생성된 스테레오 비디오 아바타 영상은 투영 텍스처를 이용하여 보정된 후 가상세계에 투사되어 입체 디스플레이 된다. 제안된 기법은 일반적인 카메라를 이용하고 있으며, 간단한 조명 조건만 설정해주면 기존의 대형 스크린 기반 프로젝션 환경을 변형하지 않고도 쉽게 설치하여 사용할 수 있기 때문에 많은 활용도가 있을 것이라 기대된다.

With the development of recent technology such as telematics, LBS, and ubiquitous, the applications of 3D GIS are rapidly increased. As 3D GIS is mainly based on urban models consisting of the realistic digital models of the objects existing in an urban area, demands for urban models and its continuous update is expected to be drastically increased. The purpose of this study is thus to propose more efficient and precise methods to construct urban models with its experimental verification. Applying the proposed methods, the terrain and sophisticated building models are constructed for the area of $270,600m^2$ with 23 buildings in the University of Seoul. For the terrain models, airborne imagery and LIDAR data is used, while the ground imagery is mainly used for the building models. It is found that the generated models reflect the correct geometry of the buildings and terrain surface. The textures of building surfaces, generated automatically using the projective transformation however, are not well-constructed because of being blotted out and shaded by objects such as trees, near buildings, and other obstacles. Consequently, the algorithms on the texture extraction should be improved to construct more realistic 3D models. Furthermore, the inside of buildings should be modeled for various potential applications in the future.
