본 논문에서는 Kinect Depth 카메라에서 손가락의 방향을 이용한 마우스 커서의 위치 선정에 관한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 손가락의 방향이 카메라를 향해 있을 경우는 거리변환을 이용한 손의 중점좌표를 이용한다. 손가락의 방향이 카메라를 향해 있지 않을 경우에는 손가락의 끝점 좌표를 이용한다. 손의 중점좌표는 전처리를 거친 영상의 거리변환 결과에서 가장 밝은 픽셀의 좌표를 이용하여 구한다. 손가락의 방향이 카메라를 향해 있을 경우에는 손가락의 끝점 좌표와 손의 중점 좌표 사이의 거리가 가까워지므로 중점좌표를 이용하여, 위치 선정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있게 된다. 손가락의 끝점 좌표는 손 영역만을 추출한 영상에서 팔 부분을 제거하여 영상의 중심에서 가장 멀리 떨어져있는 픽셀을 이용하여 구한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 커서 위치 선정의 정확도를 측정하기 위해 임의의 5개의 기준 좌표를 선정하고 기준 좌표와 측정된 마우스 좌표사이의 오차를 500회 반복하여 측정하여 에러율을 측정한 결과, 평균 11 % 미만의 오차율을 나타내어 제안한 방법의 정확도를 확인할 수가 있었다.

Accurate calibration effect for maladjusted stereo cameras with calibrated pixel distance parameter is presented. The camera calibration is a necessary procedure for stereo vision-based depth computation. Intra and extra parameters should be obtain to determine the relation between image and world coordination through experiment. One difficulty is in camera alignment for parallel installation: placing two CCD arrays in a plane. No effective methods for such alignment have been presented before. Some amount of depth error caused from such non-parallel installation of cameras is inevitable. If the pixel distance parameter which is one of intra parameter is calibrated with known points, such error can be compensated in some amount and showed the variable experiments for accurate effects.

In this paper, we propose an active stereo surveillance system with human-like convergence function. The proposed system uses a bottom-up saliency map model with the human-like selective attention visual function to select an interesting region in each camera. and this system compares the landmarks whether the selective region in each camera finds a same region. If the left and right cameras successfully find a same landmarks, the implemented vision system focuses on the landmark. Using the motor encoder information, we can automatically obtain the depth information and resultantly construct a depth map using the depth information. Computer simulation and experimental results show that the proposed convergence method is very effective to implement the active stereo surveillance system.

This paper describes a depth extraction algorithm in the stereo endoscopic images using adaptive window. First, The relation between the 3D coordinates in the world and the 2D coordinates in the image plane is estimated using camera calibration. Next, stereo matching is performed to find the conjugate pairs in the left and right images. To improve the precision of the matching result, adaptive window which can be varied on the shape as well as on the size according to the area characteristics is used. Finally, the result from the stereo matching and that of camera modeling are combined to extract the real depth information.

We propose a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical and housing materials to simultaneously athermalize and achromatize an LWIR optical system. To have a much better opportunity to select the IR glasses and housing materials, an athermal glass map is expanded by introducing the DOE with negative chromatic power. Additionally, from the depth of focus in an LWIR optical system, the tolerable housing boundary is provided to realize an athermal and achromatic system even for not readily available housing material. Thus, we can effectively determine a pair of optical and housing materials by reducing the thermal shift to be less than the depth of focus. By applying this method to design a night vision camera lens, the chromatic and thermal defocuses are reduced to less than the depth of focus, over the specified waveband and temperature ranges.

A simple computer vision technology to measure the middle-ranged depth with mono camera and plain mirror is proposed The proposed system is structured wiか the rotating mirror in front of the fixed mono camera In contrast to the previous stereo vision system in which the disparity of the closer object is larger than that of the distant object, the pixel movement caused by the rotating mirror is bigger for the pixels of the distant object in the proposed system Being inspired by such feature in the proposed system the principle of the depth measurement based on the relation of the pixel movement and the distance of object have been investigated. Also, the factors to influence the precision of the measurement are analysed The benefits of the proposed system are low price and less chance of occlusion. The robustness for practical usage is an additional benefit of the proposed vision system.

본 논문에서는 최근 관심이 고조되고 있는 3차원 입체 비디오 처리 기술의 최종 목표인 디지털 홀로그램을 생성하는데 필요한 객체의 좌표와 색상정보가 들어있는 RGB 영상와 깊이 영상을 획득하여 디지털 홀로그램으로 변환하는 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저, 가시광선과 적외선의 파장을 이용하여 파장에 따라 투과율이 달라지는 콜드 미러를 사용하여 같은 시점을 갖는 RGB와 깊이 영상을 얻는다. 카메라 시스템이 갖는 다양한 왜곡을 없애기 위한 보정과정을 거친 후에 해상도가 서로 틀린 RGB 영상과 깊이 영상의 해상도를 조절한다. 그리고 깊이 정보를 이용하여 디지털 홀로그램으로 구현할 객체를 추출한다. 마지막으로 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램 (computer-generated hologram, CGH) 알고리즘을 이용하여 추출한 객체를 디지털 홀로그램으로 변환한다. 제안한 시스템의 각 알고리즘은 C/C++/CUDA로 구현하였고, LabView 환경에서 이들을 통합하였다. 고속화를 위하여 홀로그램을 생성하는 것은 범용 그래픽처리유닛(general-purpose computing on graphics processing unit, GPGPU)를 이용하였다. 제안한 시스템을 이용하여 생성한 디지털 홀로그램은 기존의 것보다 더욱 우수한 화질을 가진다는 것을 확인하였다.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) programs based on motion capture camera are the most convenient and cost-effective approaches for remote rehabilitation. Assessment of physical function is critical for providing optimal VR rehabilitation training; however, direct muscle strength measurement using camera-based kinematic data is impracticable. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to indirectly estimate the muscle strength of users from the value obtained using a motion capture camera. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the pedaling speed converted using the VR engine from the captured foot position data in the VR environment can be used as an indirect way to evaluate knee muscle strength, and to investigate the validity and reliability of a camera-based VR program. Methods: Thirty healthy adults were included in this study. Each subject performed a 15-second maximum pedaling test in the VR and built-in speedometer modes. In the VR speedometer mode, a motion capture camera was used to detect the position of the ankle joints and automatically calculate the pedaling speed. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to assess the isometric and isokinetic peak torques of knee flexion and extension. Results: The pedaling speeds in VR and built-in speedometer modes revealed a significantly high positive correlation (r = 0.922). In addition, the intra-rater reliability of the pedaling speed in the VR speedometer mode was good (ICC [intraclass correlation coefficient] = 0.685). The results of the Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant moderate positive correlation between the pedaling speed of the VR speedometer and the peak torque of knee isokinetic flexion (r = 0.639) and extension (r = 0.598). Conclusion: This study suggests the potential benefits of measuring the maximum pedaling speed using 3D depth camera in a VR environment as an indirect assessment of muscle strength. However, technological improvements must be followed to obtain more accurate estimation of muscle strength from the VR cycling test.

This paper describes a new sensor system for 3D range measurement using the structured infrared light. Environment and obstacle sensing is the key issue for mobile robot localization and navigation. Laser scanners and infrared scanners cover $180^{\circ}$ and are accurate but too expensive. Those sensors use rotating light beams so that the range measurements are constrained on a plane. 3D measurements are much more useful in many ways for obstacle detection, map building and localization. Stereo vision is very common way of getting the depth information of 3D environment. However, it requires that the correspondence should be clearly identified and it also heavily depends on the light condition of the environment. Instead of using stereo camera, monocular camera and the projected infrared light are used in order to reduce the effects of the ambient light while getting 3D depth map. Modeling of the projected light pattern enabled precise estimation of the range. Identification of the cells from the pattern is the key issue in the proposed method. Several methods of correctly identifying the cells are discussed and verified with experiments.

논문에서 우리는 한 대의 카메라 전면에 위치한 4개의 거울을 이용한 실질적인 스테레오 비젼 시스템을 제안한다. 스테레오 이미지는 한 대의 CCD 카메라 정면에 위치한 4개의 거울을 이용하여 좌/우 이미지가 절반씩 만들어진다. 3차원 공간에서 물체 위의 한 점은 4개의 거울로 인해 2개의 가상 점으로 변환된다. 전통적인 스테레오 비젼 시스템과 같이 2개 가상 점이 위치한 좌/우 이미지 사이의 변위는 물체 위의 점에 대 한 깊이와 직접 관련이 된다. 그러므로 이 시스템은 카메라가 한 대만 사용해 카메라 교정과 스테레오 이미지 획득에 큰 장점이 있다.
