The loop closure problem is one of the most challenging issues in the vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping community. It requires the robot to recognize a previously visited place from current camera measurements. While the loop closure often relies on visual bag-of-words based on point features in the previous works, however, in this paper we propose a line-based method to solve the loop closure in the corridor environments. We used both the floor line and the anchored vanishing point as the loop closing feature, and a two-step loop closure algorithm was devised to detect a known place and perform the global pose correction. We propose an anchored vanishing point as a novel loop closure feature, as it includes position information and represents the vanishing points in bi-direction. In our system, the accumulated heading error is reduced using an observation of a previously registered anchored vanishing points firstly, and the observation of known floor lines allows for further pose correction. Experimental results show that our method is very efficient in a structured indoor environment as a suitable loop closure solution.

In the development of linear perspective, Brook Taylor's theory has achieved a special position. With his method described in Linear Perspective(1715) and New Principles of Linear Perspective(1719), the subject of linear perspective became a generalized and abstract theory rather than a practical method for painters. He is known to be the first who used the term 'vanishing point'. Although a similar concept has been used form the early stage of Renaissance linear perspective, he developed a new method of British perspective technique of measure points based on the concept of 'vanishing points'. In the 15th and 16th century linear perspective, pictorial space is considered as independent space detached from the outer world. Albertian method of linear perspective is to construct a pavement on the picture in accordance with the centric point where the centric ray of the visual pyramid strikes the picture plane. Comparison to this traditional method, Taylor established the concent of a vanishing point (and a vanishing line), namely, the point (and the line) where a line (and a plane) through the eye point parallel to the considered line (and the plane) meets the picture plane. In the traditional situation like in Albertian method, the picture plane was assumed to be vertical and the center of the picture usually corresponded with the vanishing point. On the other hand, Taylor emphasized the role of vanishing points, and as a result, his method entered the domain of projective geometry rather than Euclidean geometry. For Taylor's theory was highly abstract and difficult to apply for the practitioners, there appeared many perspective treatises based on his theory in England since 1740s. Joshua Kirby's Dr. Brook Taylor's Method of Perspective Made Easy, Both in Theory and Practice(1754) was one of the most popular treatises among these posterior writings. As a well-known painter of the 18th century English society and perspective professor of the St. Martin's Lane Academy, Kirby tried to bridge the gap between the practice of the artists and the mathematical theory of Taylor. Trying to ease the common readers into Taylor's method, Kirby somehow abbreviated and even omitted several crucial parts of Taylor's ideas, especially concerning to the inverse problems of perspective projection. Taylor's theory and Kirby's handbook reveal us that the development of linear perspective in European society entered a transitional phase in the 18th century. In the European tradition, linear perspective means a representational system to indicated the three-dimensional nature of space and the image of objects on the two-dimensional surface, using the central projection method. However, Taylor and following scholars converted linear perspective as a complete mathematical and abstract theory. Such a development was also due to concern and interest of contemporary artists toward new visions of infinite space and kaleidoscopic phenomena of visual perception.

Log-polar coordinate image space is proposed as a solution for the problem of unbounded accumulator space in the automatic detection of vanishing points. The proposed method can detect vanishing points at high speed under small memory requirements, as opposed to conventional image space based methods.

본 논문에서는 영상의 카메라 파라미터가 필요 없는 역 투시변환 기술 및 제안한 차선필터를 사용하여 경사진 도로 환경에서도 강인한 실시간 차선 검출방법을 제안한다. 영상의 시작 프레임에서 소실점을 찾은 후, 소실점 주변의 일정영역을 템플릿(TA: Template Area)으로 저장하며, 소실점을 기준으로 하단으로 내려가면서 차선을 예측하고, 예측된 차선을 기반으로 역 투시변환계수를 추출하여 추출된 계수로 원근감이 제거된 영상을 얻으며, 바로 그 영상에 제안한 차선필터를 적용하여 차선을 검출한다. 경사진 도로환경에서도 강인한 차선 검출을 위하여 입력영상으로 부터 TA와 유사한 영역(SA: Similar Area)을 템플릿 매칭으로 추적하여 소실점을 재계산하여 차선을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 경사진 도로 환경에서도 차선검출이 견고하며, 처리영역을 축소하고 처리과정을 단순화함으로서 초당 40 frames 정도의 양호한 차선검출 결과를 보였다.

이 논문은 영상 카메라를 이용하여 교통 객체를 인식하고자 하는 경우, 영상 내 객체 인식 정확도를 높이기 위해 소실점을 이용하여 객체에 대한 3D 바운딩 박스를 생성하는 방법이다. 최근 인공지능을 이용하여 교통 영상 카메라로 촬영된 차량을 검출하고자 하는 경우 이 3D 바운딩 박스 생성 알고리즘을 적용하고자 한다. 카메라 설치 각도와 카메라가 촬영한 영상의 방향성을 분석하여 종 방향 소실점(VP1)과 횡 방향 소실점(VP2)을 도출하고 이를 기반으로 분석 대상 동영상에서 이동하는 객체를 특정하게 된다. 이 알고리즘을 적용하면 감지된 객체의 위치, 종류, 크기 등 객체 정보 검출이 용이하고, 이를 자동차와 같은 이동류에 적용하는 경우 이를 트래킹하여 각 객체가 이동한 위치와 좌표, 이동속도 및 방향 등을 알 수 있다. 실제 도로에 적용한 결과 트래킹이 10% 향상되었으며 특히 음영지역(큰 차에 가려진 극히 적은 차량 부위)의 인식율과 트래킹이 100% 개선되는 등 교통 데이터 분석 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed the GPS position data correction method for autonomous land navigation using vanishing point property and a monocular vision system. Simulations are carried out over driving distances of approximately 60 km on the basis of realistic road data. In straight road, the proposed method reduces GPS position error to minimum more than 63% and positioning errors within less than 0.5m are observed. However, the average accuracy of the method is not presented. because it is difficult to estimate it in curve road or other road environments.

본 논문에서는 무한원점의 특성과 단일 비젼 시스템을 이용하여 자율 주행을 위한 GPS 위치 데이터 보정법을 제안한다. 실제 도로를 약 60 km의 거리를 주행하며 제안한 방법에 적용한 주행실험 결과를 제시하였다. 제안하는 방법은 직선도로의 환경에서 GPS 위치 오차론 최소 약 53% 이상 감소시켰고, 거리로는 0.5m 이내로 추정되었다. 그러나 곡선도로와 직선이 아닌 산악도로 등의 도로환경에서 정확도를 판별하기 어려운 관계로 직선도로에서의 오차만을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 영상의 기하학 정보를 이용하여 기저 평면에서 움직이는 객체의 높이를 자동으로 측정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘은 설정된 위치에서 이동하는 객체의 높이를 각 프레임 마다 사용자 입력을 통해 측정하여 실시간에 이용할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 입력 영상에서 움직임 객체의 영역을 추출하여 객체의 높이를 자동으로 측정한다. 입력 영상에서 픽셀 정보와 시간적인 정보를 이용하여 움직임 객체를 추출하고 반복적인 계산을 통해 실제와 근소한 객체의 바닥점과 높이점을 추출한다 이 두 점 사이의 높이 계산은 기하학정보인 소실점(Vanishing point), 소실선(Vanishing line)과의 계산을 통해 이루어진다. 측정된 높이는 신뢰도 평가를 통해 모의실험에서 실제 높이와 유사한 결과를 확인하였다.

The way which estimates a position from Navigation is Dead-reckoning Navigation and Radio Navigation. Generally dead-reckoning navigation uses Gyro and odometer as sensor, but these have problems which are an integrating noise and a noise-sensitivity. Gps which is used by radio-navigation has a Troposthetic error and MultiPath ewer and so on. For minimizing a Troposthetic error and a Multipath error, this paper suggests to an algorithm which use vanishing point on CCD camera.

This paper describes a new method to determine the 3D-shape of objects consisting of specular planar surfaces. This method exploits a light source which is made of a diffuse plane with a grid pattern encoded in an M-sequence and uses a single image of the light source reflected by the objects to acquiring orientations and positions of the surfaces of the objects. When grid lines of the light source are reflected by a specular planar surface and perspectively projected on an image plane, a set of lines vanishing at a point are obtained on the image plane. The orientation of the specular planar surface is determined by using the vanishing point, and the position is determined by using the correspondence between lines on the image and lines on the light source, which is obtained by employing a characteristic regularity of the M-sequence. Before the vanishing points are calculated, the lines on the image are classified and correlated with the surfaces of objects by using slopes and positions of the lines and the regularity of the M-sequence. This method requires only a single image.
