In this paper, we present a multiple-view stereo matching method in case of moving in the direction of optical axis with stereo camera. Also we analyze the obtainable depth precision to show that multiple-view stereo increases the virtual baseline with single-view stereo. This method decides candidate points for correspondence in each image pair and then search for the correct combinations of correspondences among them using the geometrical consistency they must satisfy. Adantages of this method are capability in increasing the accuracy in matching by using the multiple stereo images and less computation due to local processing. This method computes 3-D depth by averaging the depth obtained in each multiple-view stereo. We show that the resulting depth has more precision than depth obtainable by each independent stereo when the position of image feature is uncertain due to image noise. This paper first defines a multipleview stereo agorithm in case of moving in the direction of optical axis with stereo camera and analyze the obtainable precision of computed depth. Then we represent the effect of removing the incorrect matching candidate and precision enhancement with experimental result.

In this paper, we propose a 3-D range finding method for situation that stereo camera has small translational motion. Binocular stereo generally tends to produce stereo correspondence errors and needs huge amount of computation. The former drawback is because the additional constraints to regularize the correspondence problem are not always true for every scene. The latter drawback is because they use either correlation or optimization to find correct disparity. We present a method which overcomes these drawbacks by moving the stereo camera actively. The method utilized a motion parallax acquired by monocular motion stereo to restrict the search range of binocular disparity. Using only the uniqueness of disparity makes it possible to find reliable binocular disparity. Experimental results with real scene are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

This paper is on a stereo acoustic echo canceller with the blind signal separation for post processing. The convergence speed of the stereo acoustic echo canceller is deteriorated due to mixing two residual signals which are update signals of each echo canceller. To solve this problem, we are to use the blind signal separation(BSS) method separating the mixed signals after the echo cancellers. The blind signal separation method can extracts the source signals by means of the iterative computations with two input signals. We had verified performances of the proposed acoustic echo canceller for stereo through simulations. The results of simulations show that the acoustic echo canceller for stereo using this algorithm operates stably without divergence in the normal state. And, when the speech signals were inputted, this echo canceller achieved about 2dB higher ERLE with the BSS post processing method than without this method. This stereo echo canceller showed the best performance in the case of inputting the real voice signal.

We propose a triangulation method based on stereo vision angles. We setup stereo vision systems which extract the depth information to a moving object by detecting a moving object using difference image method and obtaining the depth information by the triangulation method based on stereo vision angles. The feature point of a moving object is used the geometrical center of the moving object, and the proposed vision system has the accuracy of 0.2mm in the range of 400mm.

In this paper, we investigate a real-time environment recognition system based on stereo vision for moving object. This system consists of stereo matching, obstacle detection and distance estimation. In stereo matching part, depth maps can be obtained real road images captured adjustable baseline stereo vision system using belief propagation(BP) algorithm. In detection part, various obstacles are detected using only depth map in case of both v-disparity and column detection method under the real road environment. Finally in estimation part, asymmetric parabola fitting with NCC method improves estimation of obstacle detection. This stereo vision system can be applied to many applications such as unmanned vehicle and robot.

The present study was conducted by using stereo pattern recognition method(SPR method) to measure the displacement and vibration of an airplane wing in flight condition. A SPR based measurement system was developed using two visible light stereo cameras. The visible light stereo images were processed to obtain marker points by adaptive threshold method and marker filtering technique. The marker points were used to reconstruct 3D point, displacement, and vibration data. The SPR system was installed on F-16 fighter. The wing displacement and vibration were measured in flight condition. Therefore, this paper presents a possibility that SPR based measurement system using visible light stereo camera can be very useful for measuring displacement and vibration of an airplane in flight condition.

Parametric stereo coding is a technique to efficiently code a stereo audio signal as a monaural signal plus small amount of parametric overhead to describe the stereo image. The stereo properties are analyzed, encoded, and reinstated in a decoder according to spatial psycho-acoustical principles. However, coding of multichannel audio signal using parametric stereo still requires considerable bit-rate. In this paper, enhanced parametric stereo coding for multichannel audio signal is proposed.

This paper proposes a novel active stereo matching technique using white auxiliary stripe pattern. The conventional active stereo matching techniques that uses two cameras and an active source such as projector can accurately estimate disparity information even in the areas with low texture compared to the passive ones. However, it is difficult that the conventional active stereo matching techniques using color code patterns acquire these patterns robustly if the object is composed of various colors or is exposed to complex lighting condition. To overcome this problem, the proposed method uses an additional white auxiliary stripe pattern to get and localize the color code patterns robustly. This paper proposes a process based on adaptive thresholding and thinning to obtain the auxiliary pattern accurately. Experimental results show that the proposed method more precisely measures the stepped sample whose depth is known in advance than the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose a new method that separates background and foreground from stereo images. This method can be improved automatic target tracking system by using disparity map of the stereo vision system and background-separating mask, which can be obtained camera configuration parameters. We use disparity map and camera configuration parameters to separate object from background. Disparity map is made with block matching algorithm from stereo images. A morphology filter is used to compensate disparity error that can be caused by occlusion area. We could obtain a separated object from background when the proposed method was applied to real stereo cameras system.

본 논문에서는 비교정 상태의 스테레오 입력영상에 영상보정 알고리즘을 적용한 새로운 중간시점 영상합성 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 분석하였다. 제시된 방법에서는 먼저, 좌, 우 스테레오 영상의 각 화소 간들에 대한 유사도 및 모서리 검출을 통해 특징점을 추출한 다음, 이들 특징점을 이용하여 스테레오 영상간의 움직임 벡터와 에피폴라 선을 검출하였다. 그리고 스테레오 영상간의 수평선을 일치시킴으로써 좌, 우 스테레오 영상을 보정하고 최적으로 적응적 변위추정 기법을 이용하여 최적화된 중간시점 영상을 합성하였다. CCETT의 'Man' 영상과 스테레오 카메라를 사용하여 촬영한 '사람' 및 '자동차' 영상을 사용한 중간영상 합성 실험결과 본 논문에서 제안된 보정기법으로 교정된 스테레오 영상의 경우가 비교정 상태에 비해 'Man' 영상은 3.6㏈, '사람' 및 '자동차' 영상은 2.59㏈, 1.47㏈의 PSNR이 각각 개선됨이 분석됨으로써 본 논문에서 새로이 제시한 스테레오 영상 보정 알고리즘 기반의 중간시점 영상합성 기법의 실질적 응용 가능성을 제시하였다.
