As a kind of 2D spatial coordinate transform, image warping is a basic image processing technique utilized in various applications. Though image warping algorithm is composed of relatively simple operations such as memory accesses and computations of weighted average, real-time implementations on embedded vision systems suffer from limited computational power because the simple operations are iterated as many times as the number of pixels. This paper presents a real-time implementation of a look-up table(LUT)-based image warping using an FPGA. In order to ensure sufficient data transfer rate from memories storing mapping LUT and image data, appropriate memory devices are selected by analyzing memory access patterns in an LUT-based image warping using backward mapping. In addition, hardware structure of a parallel and pipelined architecture is proposed for fast computation of bilinear interpolation using fixed-point operations. Accuracy of the implemented hardware is verified using a synthesized test image, and an application to real-time lens distortion correction is exemplified.

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 연구는 얼굴 성형을 시뮬레이션하거나 성형 상담 자료로 활용할 목적으로 한 쌍의 제어점을 이용한 쌍선형 워핑 및 쌍선형 보간에 의한 성형 시스템에 관한 것이다. 우선, 주어진 영상을 대상으로 제어점을 설정하고, 이 제어점을 이용하여 워핑 영역을 결정한다. 그리고, 이 워핑 영역은 제어 점을 한 꼭지점으로 하는 4개의 부분 영역으로 나눈다. 그런 후, 4개의 부분 영역 각각에 대한 역방향 사상의 워핑 계수를 구한다. 결과 영상의 부분 영역에 있는 모든 화소 위치에 대하여 대응하는 워핑 계수를 적용하여 원 영상에서 대응되는 화소 위치를 구한다. 이 위치에 최인접하는 네 화소값을 이용하여 쌍선형 보간에 의해 결과 영상의 화소에 대한 화소값을 구한다. 이와 같은 방식으로 4개의 부분 영역에 대하여 동일하게 처리함으로써 성형 효과를 얻게 된다. 실험 결과, 워핑 영역의 경계에서 끊김이 없는 자연스런 성형 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper describes performances of speaker adaptation using a probabilistic spectral mapping matrix in hidden-Markov model(HMM) -based Korean isolated word recognition. Speaker adaptation based on probabilistic spectral mapping uses a well-trained prototype HMM's and is carried out by Viterbi, dynamic time warping, and forward-backward algorithms. Among these algorithms, the best performance is obtained by using the Viterbi approach together with codebook adaptation whose improvement for isolated word recognition accuracy is 42.6-68.8 %. Also, the selection of the initial values of the matrix and the normalization in computing the matrix affects the recognition accuracy.
