This study was initiated to develop a methodology for devising Korean virtual models for apparel shopping at internet shopping site. The data base for this study was the Korean National Anthropometric Survey in 1997. The subjects were 493 women and 626 men in 20's. The researchers also measured 88 males and females in age 20's to suggest back and front depth proportions which are not available from the survey. The virtual models' figure types were classified by the heights, drop value and bust(chest) girth. It was evaluated whether it is needed to separate figure type with bust(chest) girth. The body sizes of virtual models were suggested for side view model and front view model in 13cm height. Four female virtual models were suggested for front view and side view. Eight male virtual models were suggested for front view and side view. Each virtual model's height, breadth and depth proportions were calculated. Shoulder breadth. Bust(chest) breadth, waist breadth, hip breadth and proportions were calculated for front view model. The bust(chest) depth, waist depth, abdomen depth, hip depth and proportions were calculated for side view model. Height proportions were suggested for female and male virtual models.

With a remote operated manipulator system, the situation at a remote site can be rendered through remote visualized image to the operator. Then the operator can quickly realize situations and control the slave manipulator by operating a master input device based on the information of the virtual image. In this study, the remote operator visual support system (ROVSS) was developed for viewing support of a remote operator to perform the remote task effectively. A visual support model based on virtual environment was also inserted and used to fulfill the need of this study. The framework for the system was created by Windows API based on PC and the library of 3D graphic simulation tool such as ENVISION. To realize this system, an operation test environment for a limited operating site was constructed by using experimental robot operation. A 3D virtual environment was designed to provide accurate information about the rotation of robot manipulator, the location and distance of operation tool through the real time synchronization. In order to show the efficiency of the visual support, we conducted the experiments by four methods such as the direct view, the camera view, the virtual view and camera view plus virtual view. The experimental results show that the method of camera view plus virtual view has about 30% more efficiency than the method of camera view.

This paper represents a new approach which addresses quality degradation of a synthesized view, when a virtual camera moves forward. Generally, interpolation technique using only two neighboring views is used when a virtual view is synthesized. Because a size of the object increases when the virtual camera moves forward, most methods solved this by interpolation in order to synthesize a virtual view. However, as it generates a degraded view such as blurred images, we prevent a synthesized view from being blurred by using more cameras in multiview camera configuration. That is, we solve this by applying super-resolution concept which reconstructs a high resolution image from several low resolution images. Therefore, data fusion is executed by geometric warping using a disparity of the multiple images followed by deblur operation. Experimental results show that the image quality can further be improved by reducing blur in comparison with interpolation method.

본 논문에서는 가상시점 깊이영상 생성 기법을 이용한 다양한 시점의 CGH(computer generated hologram) 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템에서는 먼저 TOF(time of flight) 깊이 카메라를 이용하여 신뢰도 높은 기준시점 깊이영상을 획득하고 카메라 보정 과정을 통해 기준시점 카메라들의 카메라 파라미터를 추출한다. 가상시점 카메라의 위치가 정의되면 기준시점 카메라와의 거리와 위치를 고려하여 최적의 기준시점 카메라들을 선택한다. 가상시점 카메라와 가장 가까운 기준시점 카메라를 주 기준시점으로 결정하고 가상시점 깊이영상을 생성한다. 주 기준시점 카메라와 위치가 반대인 기준시점 카메라를 보조 기준시점으로 선택하여 가상시점 깊이영상을 생성한다. 주 기준시점을 통해 생성된 가상시점 깊이영상에 나타나는 가려짐 영역을 보조 기준시점으로 생성된 가상시점 깊이영상으로부터 찾아 보상한다. 보상이 되지 않고 남은 홀영역은 주변값 중 가장 작은 값으로 채워 최종 가상시점 깊이영상을 생성한다. 최종 가상시점 깊이 영상을 이용하여 CGH를 생성한다. 실험을 통해 기존의 기법보다 제안하는 가상시점 깊이영상 합성 시스템의 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Selfies are a popular form of photography. However, due to physical constraints, the compositions of selfies are limited. We present algorithms for creating virtual portraits with interesting compositions from a set of selfies. The selfies are taken at the same location while the user spins around. The scene is analyzed using multiple selfies to determine the locations of the camera, subject, and background. Then, a view from a virtual camera is synthesized. We present two use cases. After rearranging the distances between the camera, subject, and background, we render a virtual view from a camera with a longer focal length. Following that, changes in perspective and lens characteristics caused by new compositions and focal lengths are simulated. Second, a virtual panoramic view with a larger field of view is rendered, with the user's image placed in a preferred location. In our experiments, virtual portraits with a wide range of focal lengths were obtained using a device equipped with a lens that has only one focal length. The rendered portraits included compositions that would be photographed with actual lenses. Our proposed algorithms can provide new use cases in which selfie compositions are not limited by a camera's focal length or distance from the camera.

Recently, VR HMD (virtual reality head mounted display) has been utilized for virtual training, entertainment, vision therapy, and optometry. In particular, virtual reality contents are increasingly used for vision therapy and optometry. Accordingly, high-quality virtual reality contents such as a natural vision of life is required. Therefore, it is necessary to study the content production according to the optical characteristics of the VR HMD. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a proper FOV (field of view) of contents according to the distortion rate. We produced virtual reality contents and obtained distorted images by virtual camera. The distortion rate is calculated by using the distorted image. It is proved that the optimal FOV of the VR content with the minimum distortion is $90{\sim}100^{\circ}$. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the production of high quality contents.

본 연구의 목적은 현실, 가상현실에서 시야각 수준을 세분화하여 지각된 거리에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 본 연구는 가상현실조건 제시에 현실조건 환경을 모방한 복제품을 사용하여 두 관찰조건을 동등하게 구성하였다. 시야각 조작을 위해 현실조건에서 시야각을 제한하는 안경을 사용하였고, 가상현실조건에서 HMD를 통해 현실과 동등한 방법으로 시야각을 제한함으로써 두 관찰조건에서 시야각 수준을 동일하게 조작하였다. 실험에 참여한 성인 18명은 현실, 가상현실 각 관찰조건에서 머리 움직임을 제한한 후 조건에 따라 상이한 제한된 시야로 대상을 관찰하였다. 이후 참가자들은 정신적으로 대상까지 걷는데 소요된 시간을 측정하는 상상보행 측정방법을 통해 지각된 거리를 보고하였다. 대상은 3 m, 4 m, 5 m 거리에 제시되었으며 각 거리수준마다 3회 반복측정 하였다. 측정한 시간 측정치는 거리로 환산하여 분석에 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 가상현실조건의 거리추정치는 현실조건보다 작았다. 또한 시야각 수준이 감소함에 따라 거리추정치가 감소하였다. 현실조건에서 거리추정치는 시야각 수준에 따라 달라지지 않았다. 그러나 가상현실조건에서 거리추정치는 시야각 수준이 감소함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 논의에서 본 실험결과와 시사점, 한계점 및 추후 연구 방향에 대해 제시하였다.

This paper proposes a dynamic-tiling-based bandwidth-efficient (DTBE) virtual reality (VR) streaming scheme. We consider 360-degree VR contents with multiple view points such as the front, back, upper, and bottom sides. At a given time, the focus of a client is always bound to a certain view among multiple view points. By utilizing this perspective, under our proposed scheme, tiles with high encoding rates are selectively assigned to the focused view where multiple view points consist of multiple tiles with different encoding rates. The other tiles with low encoding rates are assigned to the remaining view points. Furthermore, for reducing view adaptation delay, we design a novel rapid view adaptation mechanism that selectively delivers an I-frame during view point updates by using frame indexing. We implement the proposed scheme on a commercial VR test bed where we adopt the MPEG media transport (MMT) standard with high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) tile modes. The measurement-based experiments show that the proposed scheme achieves an average data usage reduction of almost 65.2% as well as average view adaptation delay reduction of almost 57.7%.

In this paper, a new algorithm by using 3D warping technique to effectively fill holes that are produced when creating a virtual-viewpoint image is proposed. A hole is defined as the region that cannot be seen in the reference view when a virtual view is created. In the proposed algorithm, to reduce the blurring effect that occurs on the hole region filled by conventional algorithms and to enhance the texture quality of the generated virtual view, Exemplar Based In-painting algorithm is used. The boundary noise which occurs in the initial virtual view obtained by 3D warping is also removed. After 3D warping, we estimate the relative location of the background to the holes and then pixels adjacent to the background are filled in priority to get better result by not using only adjacent object's information. Also, the temporal inconsistency between frames can be reduced by expanding the search region up to the previous frame when searching for most similar patch. The superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to the existing algorithms can be shown through the experimental results.
