On-site remote sensing technique by using single lens reflex(SLR) digital camera will be expected as the useful tool for the vegetation measurement field such as a crop growth management, the monitoring of revegetation slope and the evaluation of environment. We reviewed the availability of the vegetation measurement using a digital camera which is sailed for general-purpose. As a result, we could analysis relationship with the illuminance of image plane and incidence energy of multitemporal observation images by doing gamma correction and exposure compensation. And also, we proposed the model formulas for the correction of influences of capturing angle and illuminance. In addition, we obtained high correlation of normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) between digital camera and spectral photometer.

This paper introduces the HD 3DTV camera and 3DTV receiver that are compatible with the ATSC HDTV broadcasting system. The developed 3DTV camera is based on stereoscopic techniques, and it has control function to control both left and right zoom lens simultaneously and to control the vergence. Moreover, in order to control the vergence manually and to eliminate the synchronization problem of the both images, the 3DTV camera has the 3DTV video multiplexing function to combine the left and right images into the single image. The developed 3DTV signal, and it has the various analog/digital interfaces. The performance of the developed system is confirmed by shooting the selected soccer game in 2002 FIFA KOREA/JAPANTM World Cup and by broadcasting the match. The HD 3DTV camera and receiver will be applied to the 3DTV industries such as 3D movie, 3D game, 3D image processing, 3DTV broadcasting system, and so on.

With the consistent development of the 3D application technique, visuals are available at more realistic quality and are utilized in many applications like game. In particular, interacting with 3D objects in virtual environments, 3D graphics have led to a substantial development in the augmented reality. This study proposes a 3D user interface to control objects in 3D space through virtual two-view method using only one camera. To do so, homography matrix including transformation information between arbitrary two positions of camera is calculated and 3D coordinates are reconstructed by employing the 2D hand coordinates derived from the single camera, homography matrix and projection matrix of camera. This method will result in more accurate and quick 3D information. This approach may be advantageous with respect to the reduced amount of calculation needed for using one camera rather than two and may be effective at the same time for real-time processes while it is economically efficient.

Digital Image Correlation is a well-established method for displacements, strains and shape measurements of engineering objects. Stereo-camera 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) systems have been developed to match the specific requirements for measurements posed by material and mechanical industries. Although DIC method provides the capabilities of scaling a field-of-view(FOV), dimensions of Geotechnical structure objects in many cases are too big to be measured with DIC based on a single camera pair. It can be the most important issue with applying 3D DIC to the measurement of Geotechnical structures. In this paper, We were present stereo vision conditions in a 3D DIC system that can be measured for large FOV(30×20m) and high precisions(z-displacement 0.5mm) of the ground objects with Stereo-camera DIC systems.

This paper presents a performance evaluation of various feature-initialization algorithms for forward-viewing mono-camera based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), specifically in indoor environments. For mono-camera based SLAM, the position of feature points cannot be known from a single view; therefore, it should be estimated from a feature initialization method using multiple viewpoint measurements. The accuracy of the feature initialization method directly affects the accuracy of the SLAM system. In this study, four different feature initialization algorithms are evaluated in simulations, including linear triangulation; depth parameterized, linear triangulation; weighted nearest point triangulation; and particle filter based depth estimation algorithms. In the simulation, the virtual feature positions are estimated when the virtual robot, containing a virtual forward-viewing mono-camera, moves forward. The results show that the linear triangulation method provides the best results in terms of feature-position estimation accuracy and computational speed.

Recently, intelligent surveillance camera systems are needed popularly. However, current researches are focussed on improvement of a single module rather than implementation of an integrated system. In this paper, we implemented a moving wireless surveillance camera system which is composed of face detection, and using motion sensor. In our implementation, we used a camera module from SHARP, a pair of wireless video transmission module from ECOM, body of moving robot used for A4WD1 Combo kit for RC, a pair of ZigBee RF wireless transmission module from ROBOBLOCK, and a motion sensor module (AMN14111) from PANASONIC. We used OpenCV library for face dection and MFC for implement software. We identified real-time operations of face detection, PTT control, and motion sensor detecton. Thus, the implemented system will be useful for the applications of remote control, human detection, and using motion sensor.

This paper focuses on to improving object detection performance using the camera and LiDAR on autonomous vehicle platforms by fusing detected objects from individual sensors through a late fusion approach. In the case of object detection using camera sensor, YOLOv3 model was employed as a one-stage detection process. Furthermore, the distance estimation of the detected objects is based on the formulations of Perspective matrix. On the other hand, the object detection using LiDAR is based on K-means clustering method. The camera and LiDAR calibration was carried out by PnP-Ransac in order to calculate the rotation and translation matrix between two sensors. For Sensor fusion, intersection over union(IoU) on the image plane with respective to the distance and angle on world coordinate were estimated. Additionally, all the three attributes i.e; IoU, distance and angle were fused using logistic regression. The performance evaluation in the sensor fusion scenario has shown an effective 5% improvement in object detection performance compared to the usage of single sensor.

We measured night sky brightness (NSB) over the downtown using a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera combined to a small telescope for educational purpose, considering that most secondary schools are located in urban areas and have limitation in the equipment for astronomical observation. Raw format images from DSLR camera are not affected by various camera settings except for the ISO, and the typical photometric uncertainty including filter transformation is about 0.1 mag. Near the zenith, the NSB of the B, V, and r-band is 17.5, 17.1, and $16.9mag\;arcsec^{-2}$, respectively. The approximate limiting magnitude is derived to be 17.5 mag at B-band and 17 mag at V, r-band. A large scale artificial light close to the observation site is the dominant cause for making observing condition worse, increasing the NSB by $0.6mag\;arcseec^{-2}$ regardless of the altitude and filter.

The Infrared touch method is generally used for a mid and large-size touch screen. But this method has several problems, such as difficulty with installation of a touch-object recognition device, limited application and coordinate error in multi-point touch system. Since we can take advantages of both color and local information when we use general cameras for a touch screen, a touch screen using general camera is more efficient than infrared one. It also has an advantage of easy installation of a touch-object device. However, it did not much appeal in a market because of several problems, such as color sensitivity, illumination and reflected light. In this paper, we study a method for a touch screen using a general camera and image processing method to recognize touch objects and coordinate calculation method to single and multi-point touch screen. It has the same recognition performance as an infrared touch screen for single-point method. And it does not have ghost point problem by using distance information of touch object and camera in multi-point touch system. But recognition performances of multi-point touch screen are less than single-point. If we improve execution time, this method can replace an infrared method for a single point touch screen, according to result of experience.

This paper proposes a real-time multi-camera video surveillance system with automatic resolution control using motion detection. In ordinary times, it acquires 4 channels of QVGA images, and it merges them into single VGA image and transmit it. When motion is detected, it automatically increases the resolution of motion-occurring channel to VGA and decreases those of 3 other channels to QQVGA, and then these images are overlaid and transmitted. Thus, it can magnifies and watches the motion-occurring channel while maintaining transmission bandwidth and monitoring all other channels. When it is synthesized with 0.18 um technology, the maximum operating frequency is 110 MHz, which can theoretically support 4 HD cameras.
