This Paper Presents a Rational Function Model (RFM)-based image matching technique for IKONOS satellite imagery. This algorithm adopts the object-space approach and reduces the search space within the confined line-shaped area called the Piecewise Matching Line (PLM). Also, the detailed procedure of generating 3-D surface information using the Rational Function model Coefficients (RFCs) is introduced as an end-user point of view. As a result, the final generated Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using the proposed scheme shows a mean error of 2$\cdot$2 m and RMSE of 3$\cdot$8 m compared with that from 1:5000 digital map.

various applications is presented. It is based on rapid-prototyping of transparent model for flow visualization and on the use of refractive index matching that enables efficient and clear visualization of the flow inside the model. The model is immersed in the index-matching fluid in a glass tank so that any displacement and rotation of the model in the tank have no influence on the optical setup for image acquisition to be made through a glass wall. This can facilitate greatly the camera calibration for stereo PIV and 3-D PTV. As the flow model is generated directly from 3-D surface data, no laborious preparation of the flow model is needed. This approach for seamless linking of model generation and PIV measurement is applicable to various flow measurements in automobile, ship building, fluid machinery, turbine, electrical appliances, heat exchanger, electronic cooling, bio-engineering and so on.

The vision system is essential for SMT(Surface Mounting Technology) automation. The system plays the role of matching the positions betweem SMD and PCB, and inspecting SMD in the final stage of mounting. Real-time processing and high-precision are indispensable for practical purpose. In this paper, a new algorithm for position matching and inspection of SMD is proposed, and which is implemented on the DSP board using DSP board using DSP5600. Experimental results show mean matching error within 0.1 mm in the direction of x,y and execution time within 300msec. Therefore, we could attain high-speed and high-precision of the vision system for SMT automation.

This paper presents a method of single image dehazing and feature matching for aerial remote sensing images. In the case of a aerial image, transferring the information of the original image is difficult as the contrast leans by the haze. This also causes that the image contrast decreases. Therefore, a refined transmission map based on a hidden Markov random field. Moreover, the proposed algorithm enhances the accuracy of image matching surface-based features in an aerial remote sensing image. The performance of the proposed algorithm is confirmed using a variety of aerial images captured by a Worldview-2 satellite.

In this paper, the solutions of TE(transverse electric) scattering problems by a resistive strip grating over a grounded dielectric layer are analyzed by applying the PMM(point matching method) known as a numerical method of electromagnetic fileld. The boundary conditions are applied to obtain the unknown field coefficients and the resistive boundary condition is used for the relationship between the tangential magnetic field and the induced surface current density on the resistive strip. The induced surface current density of resistive strip is obtained by difference of the up and down of the magnetic field in two boundary areas of the resistive strip. The numerical results for reflected power of zeroth order mode analyzed by according as the resistivity, the width and spacing of resistive strip, the relative permittivity and thickness of dielectric layer, and incident angles. The numerical results shown in good agreement compared to those of the existing papers using FGMM(fourier galerkin moment method).

The purpose of this study is to produce digital elevation model (DEM) in the Jebu tidal flat, one of the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, by means of photogrammetric techniques from aerial digital stereo-images. Produced DEM would be become the fundamental data for change detection of the sediment and erosion. To do so, epipolar line is established by relative orientation. Area-based matching is then carried out based on this line and matching size according to surface property of tidal flat after a classified image is produced from reflectance and texture of the surface. As the results, DEM generated by the proposed method showed subtle changes in height more precisely than DEM using the fixed matching size and DEM by the commercial S/W in the region, such as tidal flats having few level differences.

Shape-from-shading (SFS) or stereo vision algorithms can be utilized to measure the shape of an object with imaging techniques for effective sensing in non-contact measurements. SFS algorithms could reconstruct the 3D information from a 2D image data, offering relatively comprehensive information. Meanwhile, a stereo vision algorithm needs several feature points or lines to extract 3D information from two 2D images. However, to measure the size of an object with a freeform surface, the two algorithms need some additional information, such as boundary conditions and grids, respectively. In this study, a stereo vision scheme using the depth information obtained by shape-from-shading as patterns was proposed to measure the size of an object with a freeform surface. The feasibility of the scheme was proved with an experiment where the images of an object were acquired by a CCD camera at two positions, then processed by SFS, and finally by stereo matching. The experimental results revealed that the proposed scheme could recognize the size and shape of freeform surface fairly well.

This research aims to develop the strategy and method to enhance the reliability of image matching results and improve the efficiency of the matching process by utilizing LIDAR data in the main image matching processes. In this work, we present the methods to utilize LIDAR data in the selection of matching entities, the search for the matched entities and the evaluation of the matching results. The proposed method has been applied to medium-resolution digital aerial images and LIDAR data acquired at the same time. The results have been analyzed in comparison with an existing method using a virtual horizontal surface rather than LIDAR DEM. This analysis indicates that the proposed method can show significantly more improved performance than the existing method. The results of this study can contribute to the improvement of the currently available commercial image matching software and the enhancement of the DEM derived from LIDAR data and matching results.

기존의 스테레오 정합 알고리즘은 크게 명암기반기법과 특징기반기법의 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 그리고, 각 기법은 그들 나름대로의 장단점을 갖는다. 본 논문은 이 두 기법을 결합하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 물체모델링을 목적으로 하기 때문에 배경을 제거하여 정합하는 방법을 사용한다. 이를 위해, 정합요소들과 정합유사함수가 정의되고, 정합유사함수는 두 기법사이의 장단점을 하나의 인수에 의해 조절한다. 그 외에도 거리차 지도의 오류를 제거하는 coarse-to-fine기법, 폐색문제를 해결하는 다중윈도우 기법을 사용하였고, 물체의 표면형태를 알아내기 위해 morphological closing 연산자를 이용하여 물체와 배경을 분리하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이러한 기법들을 기반으로 하여 여러가지 영상에 대해 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과들은 본 논문이 제안하는 기법의 효율성을 보여준다. 정합의 결과로 만들어지는 거리차 지도는 3차원 모델링을 통해 가상공간상에서 보여지도록 하였다.Abstract Classical stereo matching algorithms can be classified into two major areas; intensity-based and feature-based stereo matching. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages. This paper proposes a new algorithm which merges two main matching techniques. Since the goal of our stereo algorithm is in object modeling, we use images for which background is removed. Primitives and a similarity function are defined. The matching similarity function selectively controls the advantages and disadvantages of intensity-based and feature-based matching by a parameter.As an additional matching strategy, a coarse-to-fine method is used to remove a errorneous data on the disparity map. To handle occlusions, multiple windowing method is used. For finding the surface shape of an object, we propose a method that separates an object and the background by a morphological closing operator. All processes have been implemented and tested with various image pairs. The matching results showed the effectiveness of our method. From the disparity map computed by the matching process, 3D modeling is possible. 3D modeling is manipulated by VRML(Virtual Reality Manipulation Language). The results are summarized in a virtual reality space.

There is an increasing request for 3D data and outlines on building for urban planning and design. This paper describes an approach to extract building using Digital Surface Models(DSM) and stereo pairs of aerial images. DSM contain informations not only about the topographic surface like Digital Elevation Models(DEM), but also about buildings and other objects higher than the surrounding topographic surface, e.g. tees. We therefore describe our approach consisting of two step procedures. The first step of the approach is to generate DSM by stereo matching using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Dynamic Programming. The proposed stereo matching is using the cost function for finding the disparity between the left and right image, and the Dynamic Programming for solving the stereo matching problem. The second step is to detect building outlines using the DSM and the edge informations extracted from a digital aerial image by Sobel Operator. The overlay analysis of the DSM and the edge information by Sobel Operator was efficient to detect building outlines.
