In this paper, an accelerated generation algorithm to effectively generate an elemental image array in computational integral imaging system is proposed. In the proposed method, the depth information of 3D object is extracted from the images picked up by a stereo camera or depth camera. Then, the elemental image array can be generated by using the proposed accelerated generation algorithm with the depth information of 3D object. The resultant 3D image generated by the proposed accelerated generation algorithm was compared with that the conventional direct algorithm for verifying the efficiency of the proposed method. From the experimental results, the accuracy of elemental image generated by the proposed method could be confirmed.

In this paper, we suggest a new camera capturing and synthesizing algorithm with the multi-captured left and right images for the better comfortable feeling of 3D depth and also propose 3D image capturing hardware system based on the this new algorithm. We also suggest the simple control algorithm for the calibration of camera capture system with zooming function based on a performance index measure which is used as feedback information for the stabilization of focusing control problem. We also comment on the theoretical mapping theory concerning projection under the assumption that human is sitting 50cm in front of and watching the 3D LCD screen for the captured image based on the modeling of pinhole Camera. We choose 9 segmentations and propose the method to find optimal alignment and focusing based on the measure of alignment and sharpness and propose the synthesizing fusion with the optimized 9 segmentation images for the best 3D depth feeling.

Objective: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of monitoring systems to monitor and manage physical function of community-dwelling elderly living alone and suggest future directions of unobtrusive monitoring. Design: Literature review Methods: The importance of health-related monitoring has been emphasized due to the aging population and novel corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak.As the population gets old and because of changes in culture, the number of single-person households among the elderly is expected to continue to increase. Elders are staying home longer and their physical function may decline rapidly,which can be a disturbing factorto successful aging.Therefore, systematic elderly management must be considered. Results: Frequently used technologies to monitor elders at home included red, green, blue (RGB) camera, accelerometer, passive infrared (PIR) sensor, wearable devices, and depth camera. Of them all, considering privacy concerns and easy-to-use features for elders, depth camera possibly can be a technology to be adapted at homes to unobtrusively monitor physical function of elderly living alone.The depth camera has been used to evaluate physical functions during rehabilitation and proven its efficiency. Conclusions: Therefore, physical monitoring system that is unobtrusive should be studied and developed in the future to monitor physical function of community-dwelling elderly living alone for the aging population.

A parallel looking stereo camera was mainly used as an input sensor for digital image processing, image understanding and the extraction of 3 dimensional information. Theoretical analysis and performance evaluation are dealt in this paper for a convergent looking stereo camera model having a fixation point with the result of crossing optical axes. The quantization error, depth resolution and equidepth map due to digital pixels, and the misalignments effects of pan, tilt and roll angles are analyzed by using rhe relationship between the reference and image coordinate systems. Also horopter, epipolar lines, probability density functions of the depth error, and stereo fusion areas for the two camera models are discussed.

In this paper, the detection scheme of the spatial coordinates based on stereo camera for a intelligent path planning of an automatic mobile robot is proposed. In the proposed system, face area of a moving person is detected from a left image among the stereo image pairs by using the YCbCr color model and its center coordinates are computed by using the centroid method and then using these data, the stereo camera embedded on the mobile robot can be controlled for tracking the moving target in real-time. Moreover, using the disparity mad obtained from the left and right images captured by the tracking-controlled stereo camera system and the perspective transformation between a 3-D scene. and an image plane, depth information can be detected. Finally, based-on the analysis of these calculated coordinates, a mobile robot system is derived as a intelligent path planning and a estimation.

This paper presents the depth evaluation for object detection by automated assembling robots. Pattern distortion analysis from a structured light system identifies an object with the greatest depth from its background. An automated assembling robot should prior select and pick an object with the greatest depth to reduce the physical harm during the picking action of the robot arm. Object detection is then combined with a depth evaluation to provide contour, showing the edges of an object with the greatest depth. The contour provides shape information to an automated assembling robot, which equips the laser based proxy sensor, for picking up and placing an object in the intended place. The depth evaluation process using structured light for an automated electronics assembling robot is accelerated for an image frame to be used for computation using the simplest experimental set, which consists of a single camera and projector. The experiments for the depth evaluation process required 31 ms to 32 ms, which were optimized for the robot vision system that equips a 30-frames-per-second camera.

최근 자연스러운 3차원 영상의 재현을 위하여 깊이영상을 이용한 영상합성 방법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 깊이영상은 시청자의 눈에 보이지는 않지만 합성영상의 화질을 결정하는 중요한 정보이므로 정확한 깊이영상을 획득하는 것이 중요하다. 특히 적외선 센서를 이용한 깊이 카메라(time-of-flight camera)는 보다 정확한 깊이영상을 획득하는데 이용되고 있다. 깊이 카메라는 스테레오 정합(stereo matching)에 비해 정확하고 실시간으로 깊이정보를 추출할 수 있지만, 제공되는 해상도가 너무 낮다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 단시점의 깊이영상을 두 시점의 깊이영상으로 확장하고, 이를 이용하여 여러 시점의 중간영상을 생성하는 시스템을 제안한다. 특히 복잡도를 낮춰 빠른 속도로 다시점 영상을 생성하는 시스템을 제안한다. 고해상도의 컬러 영상을 획득하기 위하여 두 대의 컬러 카메라를 설치하고 중간에 깊이 카메라를 획득한다. 그리고 깊이 카메라에서 획득한 깊이영상을 3차원 워핑을 이용하여 양쪽의 컬러 카메라의 위치로 시점 이동한다. 깊이영상과 컬러영상간의 객체 불일치 문제는 깊이값의 신뢰 도를 기반으로 한 조인트 양방향 필터(joint bilateral filter)를 이용하여 보정한다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻은 깊이영상은 다시점 영상 합성 방법을 이용하여 다시점 영상을 획득한다. 이와 같은 과정은 다중 스레드를 이용하여 빠르게 처리할 수 있도록 구현했다. 실험을 통해 두 시점의 컬러영상과 두 시점의 깊이영상이 실시간으로 획득했고, 약 7 fps의 프레임율로 10시점의 중간시점을 동시에 생성했다.

동영상의 줌 움직임 추정은 구현이 아주 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 줌 움직임 추정을 구현하기 위하여 깊이 카메라와 색상 카메라를 동시에 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 깊이 카메라로부터 현재블록과 참조블록 사이의 거리 정보를 얻고, 이 거리 정보로부터 두 블록사이의 줌 비율을 계산한다. 줌 비율에 맞게 참조블록을 확대 또는 축소시켜 줌으로서 움직임 추정 차신호를 줄일 수 있다. 따라서, 제안된 방법은 줌 움직임 추정을 위한 복잡도가 크지 않으면서 움직임 추정 정확도를 높이는 것이 가능하다. 모의실험을 바탕으로 제안된 방법의 움직임 추정 정확도를 측정하였으며, 기존 블록정합 방법에 비하여 움직임 추정 오차값이 크게 감소함을 확인하였다.
