디지털 카메라와 휴대폰 카메라의 발달로 인해 이미지를 기반으로 3차원 물체를 복원하는 기술이 크게 발전했다. 하지만 Structure-from-Motion(SfM)과 Multi-view Stereo(MVS)를 이용한 결과인 dense point cloud에는 여전히 듬성한 영역이 존재한다. 이는 깊이 정보를 추정하는데 있는 어려움과, 깊이 지도를 point cloud로 fusing할 때 이웃 영상과의 깊이 정보가 불일치할 경우 깊이 정보를 삭제하고 point를 생성하지 않았기 때문이다. 본 논문에선 평면을 모델링하여 삭제된 깊이 정보에 새로운 깊이 정보를 부여하고 point를 생성하여 기존 결과보다 dense한 point cloud를 생성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 효과적으로 기존의 방법보다 dense한 point cloud를 생성함을 확인할 수 있다.

An autonomous valet parking (AVP) system is designed to locate a vacant parking space and park the vehicle in which it resides on behalf of the driver, once the driver has left the vehicle. In addition, the AVP is able to direct the vehicle to a location desired by the driver when requested. In this paper, for an AVP system, we introduce technology to recognize a parking space using image sensors. The proposed technology is mainly divided into three parts. First, spatial analysis is carried out using a height map that is based on dense motion stereo. Second, modelling of road markings is conducted using a probability map with a new salient-line feature extractor. Finally, parking space recognition is based on a Bayesian classifier. The experimental results show an execution time of up to 10 ms and a recognition rate of over 99%. Also, the performance and properties of the proposed technology were evaluated with a variety of data. Our algorithms, which are part of the proposed technology, are expected to apply to various research areas regarding autonomous vehicles, such as map generation, road marking recognition, localization, and environment recognition.

Virtual view synthesis is essential for 3DTV systems, which utilizes the motion parallax cue. In this paper, we propose a multi-step view synthesis algorithm to efficiently reconstruct an arbitrary view from limited number of known views of a 3D scene. We describe an efficient image rectification procedure which guarantees that an interpolation process produce valid views. This rectification method can deal with all possible camera motions. The idea consists of using a polar parameterization of the image around the epipole. Then, to generate intermediate views, we use an efficient dense disparity estimation algorithm considering features of stereo image pairs. Main concepts of the algorithm are based on the region dividing bidirectional pixel matching. The estimated disparities are used to synthesize intermediate view of stereo images. We use computer simulation to show the result of the proposed algorithm.

An automatic approach and strategy for extracting building information from aerial images using combined image analysis and interpretation techniques is described in this paper. A dense DSM is obtained by stereo image matching. Multi-band classification, DSM, texture segmentation and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are used to reveal building interest areas. Then, based on the derived approximate building areas, a shape modelling algorithm based on the level set formulation of curve and surface motion has been used to precisely delineate the building boundaries. Data fusion, based on the Dempster-Shafer technique, is used to interpret simultaneously knowledge from several data sources of the same region, to find the intersection of propositions on extracted information derived from several datasets, together with their associated probabilities. A number of test areas, which include buildings with different sizes, shape and roof colour have been investigated. The tests are encouraging and demonstrate that the system is effective for building extraction, and the determination of more accurate elevations of the terrain surface.

2D 이미지로부터 카메라의 위치 정보를 추정할 수 있는 Structure-from-Motion (SfM) 기술과 dense depth map 을 추정하는 Multi-view Stereo (MVS) 기술을 이용하여 2D 이미지에서 point cloud 와 같은 3D data 를 얻을 수 있다. 3D data 는 VR, AR, 메타버스와 같은 컨텐츠에 사용되기 위한 핵심 요소이다. Point cloud 는 보통 VR, AR, 메타버스와 같은 많은 분야에 이용되기 위해 mesh 형태로 변환된 후 texture 를 입히는 Texturing 과정이 필요하다. 기존의 Texturing 방법에서는 mesh의 face에 사용될 image의 outlier를 제거하기 위해 color 정보만을 이용했다. Color 정보를 이용하는 방법은 mesh 의 face 에 대응되는 image 의 수가 충분히 많고 움직이는 물체에 대한 outlier 에는 효과적이지만 image 의 수가 부족한 경우와 부정확한 카메라 파라미터에 대한 outlier 에는 부족한 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 Texturing 과정의 view selection 에서 depth 정보를 추가로 이용하여 기존 방법의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
