VR (Virtual Reality) is one of the important research topics in the field of multimedia application system. The quality of the visual data composed from multiple pictures depends on the performance of stitching technique. The stitching module consists of feature extraction, mapping of those, warping, seam finding, and blending. In this paper, we proposed a preprocessing scheme to provide the efficient mask for seam finder. Incorporating of the proposed mask removes the distortion, such as ghost and blurring, in the stitched image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other conventional techniques in the respect of the subjective quality and the computational complexity.

This paper presents the design of a JPEG-LS codec for lossless image compression from AR/VR device. The proposed JPEG-LS(: LosSless) codec is mainly composed of a context modeling block, a context update block, a pixel prediction block, a prediction error coding block, a data packetizer block, and a memory block. All operations are organized in a fully pipelined architecture for real time image processing and the LOCO-I compression algorithm using improved 2D approach to compliant with the SBT coding. Compared with a similar study in JPEG-LS, the Block-RAM size of proposed STB-FLC architecture is reduced to 1/3 compact and the parallel design of the predication block could improved the processing speed.

This study intends to acquire objective models for basic quantitative analysis of pattern and space through image-recognition technique, and verify the effectiveness of such acquired models. Many experiments showed that the recognized result can be varied depending on the different viewpoints and the analysis based on the single-viewpoint images does not provide objectivity. The experiment using multi-viewpoint image models, which was attempted as an alternative for the disadvantages, showed the recognition similar to that of the actual model. Especially, images generated at laboratory using miniature model may be useful in comparing and understanding plural number of patterns. The models that have been acquired using such images may be hard to use in acquiring images for analyzing actual building patterns or indoor space, although they may be useful in pattern analysis using miniature model. The disadvantage, however, can be supplemented with panorama VR and C. G. simulation technique. Steady researches are required on the application of visual information to the image recognition principle and the model for quantitative analysis of pattern and space in addition to the research on the construction of the model that can be used in comparing and analyzing not only form and space but also miniature models.

최근 초고화질 영상, 가상현실 등 프리미엄 콘텐츠에 대한 요구가 커지면서 360° VR과 8K TV 등의 시장이 확대되고 있다. 360° VR 영상을 만드는 데에 스티칭 기술이 사용되고 있고, 8K 영상을 촬영할 수 있는 장비는 매우 제한적이기 때문에 스티칭 기술을 통해 콘텐츠를 확보하려는 노력이 이어지고 있다. 스티칭 기술은 여러 영상을 합성하여 기존 카메라의 좁은 시야각 문제를 해결하고 보다 넓은 시야각의 영상을 만드는 기술이다. 최근에는 해당 분야에 관한 연구가 진행됨에 따라 이미지를 넘어 동영상 스티칭에 대한 연구가 주로 진행되고 있다, 기존 동영상 스티칭 방식은 이미지 스티칭 방식을 프레임마다 반복하기 때문에 시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점이 있다. 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서는 딥러닝을 활용하여 객체가 존재할 것으로 예측되는 부분에 사각형 모양의 경계 상자(Bounding box)를 생성하는 객체 탐지(Object detection) 분야에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔고 이를 기반으로 객체의 경계선을 검출하여 해당 영역만을 구분하는 객체 분할(Instance segmentation)에 대한 연구 또한 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 앞서 말한 스티칭 속도 문제를 해결하기 위하여 빠른 속도로 객체 분할이 가능한 YOLACT를 이용하여 스티칭 속도를 개선하는 방안을 제안한다.

Cloase-range image information from drones and ground-based camera has been frequently used in the field of disaster mitigation with 3D modeling and mapping. In addition, the utilization of virtual reality(VR) is being increased by implementing realistic 3D models with the VR technology simulating disaster circumstances in large scale. In this paper, we created a VR training program by extracting realistic 3D models from close-range images from unmanned aircraft and digital camera on hand and observed several issues occurring during the implementation and the effectiveness in the case of a VR application in training for disaster mitigation. First of all, we built up a scenario of disaster and created 3D models after image processing with the close-range imagery. The 3D models were imported into Unity, a software for creation of augmented/virtual reality, as a background for android-based mobile phones and VR environment was created with C#-based script language. The generated virtual reality includes a scenario in which the trainer moves to a safe place along the evacuation route in the event of a disaster, and it was considered that the successful training can be obtained with virtual reality. In addition, the training through the virtual reality has advantages relative to actual evacuation training in terms of cost, space and time efficiencies.

In this paper, we implemented a web-based 3D virtual pottery gallery Using VR authoring tools. With this system, we expect to cause learning motives and Provide more realistic and interactive learning space. Out system was implemented by making panorama images and 3D object modules using Photo Vista. Object Modeler and Reality Studio. Users can connect to this web site(http://artstory.x-y.net), rotate a pottery panoramically, and zoom it in or out. We designed this virtual gallery can have beneficial influence on students' aesthetic aspects through realistic work appreciations in their art education processes.

Color therapy is a diagnostic method for treating psychological problems using unique vibration and frequency color. The color has strong subjective psychology, it can give psychological stabilization effect as a spring as a favorite color and stability become personally personal. Also, to give various influences on emotion, we can obtain information via brain wave to evaluate these emotions. In this research, before viewing two kinds of VR color images of red and blue, responding to the stress questionnaire(BEPSI-K) via a mobile terminal. At this time, we analyzed the real-time we used four emotional data measurable via brain waves and grasped the user's emotional state. In addition, the stress questionnaire was used to quantify the emotion degree, and comparative analysis was made on how the color image affects the change of emotions with 3D virtual reality.

A compact virtual-reality (VR) device with wider field of view provides users with a more realistic experience and comfortable fit, but VR lens distortion is inevitable, and the amount of distortion must be measured for correction. In this paper, we propose two different full-field distortion-measurement methods, considering the characteristics of the VR device. The first is the distortion-measurement method using multiple images based on camera calibration, which is a well-known technique for the correction of camera-lens distortion. The other is the distortion-measurement method by measuring lens distortion at multiple measurement points by rotating a camera. Our proposed methods are verified by measuring the lens distortion of Google Cardboard, as a representative sample of a commercial VR device, and comparing our measurement results to a simulation using the nominal values.

HMD(Head mounted Display)는 보안경이나 헬멧 형태로 눈앞의 지근거리에 초점이 형성된 가상스크린을 보는 안경형 모니터 장치로서 예전에는 군사용 시뮬레이션이나 가상현실(VR-Virtual Reality)을 실현하기 위해 개발되었으며, 양쪽 눈의 근접한 유치에 설치된 1인치 이하의 LCD, OLED, MEMS panel 등 마이크로 디스플레이에서 발생되는 이미지를 광학시스템을 통해 확대하여 대형 가상화면을 형성한다. IT 산업의 비약적인 발전에 힘입어 휴대용 동영상 및 모바일 정보검색, 3D의 시대가 대두됨에 따라 휴대폰이나 PMP의 작은 화면으로는 만족하지 못하는 소비자의 수요에 적합한 개인 휴대용 모니터 장치로, 3D를 구현하는 안경형 모니터로서 향후 크게 형성될 모바일 산업의 핵심제품이 될 전망이다.
