A depth filter medium was newly designed in order to achieve high collection of dust and low pressure drop in this work. Multilayer depth filter media consist of an upstream layer of highly porous structure which allows particles to pass through and to follow by one or more downstream layers to hold the particles inside the media. For each filter media, flat sheet and pleated module were made of newly developed depth filter media and filter media of commercial products. Commercial depth filter cartridge for gas turbine air intake cleaning were used as reference for filtration area and pleat geometry of pleated modules. This work attempts to evaluate and compare the newly developed depth filter medium and two commercial filter media in terms of filtration parameters such as air permeability, initial pressure drop, particle retention and pressure drop variation with dust loading. According to the close examination the newly developed depth filter showed better performance compared to the commercial depth filter media.

A new depth filter media was designed and samples of flat sheet as well as cartridge assembly were prepared and tested to evaluate the filtration performance and compare with the commercial product. The arrangement of the depth filter media layers is important to reach the optimal filtration parameters like filter pressure drop, particle collection efficiency and dust holding capacity. Initially, both flat sheet samples of new media and commercial product have been tested using standard test units. Tests with new depth filter media cartridges of various pleat count were conducted in order to find the optimal pleat count which would represent the lowest pressure drop. These tests give an insight on how the pleat count and the assembly configuration affect the performance of the depth filter media cartridge. By comparing the samples with a commercial product we could confirm relatively high filtration performance of the sample cartridge with pleat count 150 made of new depth filter media. The cartridge with the same pleat count exhibits better performance without the outer mesh.

Pin-hole model has been widely used as a robust tool for easily understanding how to obtain a stereo image and how to present the depth-cue to an observer in stereoscopy. However, most of the processes to analyze depth cue in stereoscopy are performed that a stereo image is taken by camera model practically but depth cue of the image is analyzed by pin-hole model. Therefore, the result of depth cues by the process to be uncorrected. The reason of the uncorrected depth cue is led to the image distances of camera model due to variable focused object distances, and it makes a depth distortion. In this paper, we tried to show the contradiction such as occurring depth distortion in the process which the pin-hole model is used to analyze depth cue despite practical camera model is used in stereoscopy, and we presents the method to overcome the contradiction.

스마트미디어가 보편화되면서 고화질의 3차원 영상과 깊이맵에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있지만, 현재 기술로는 완벽한 깊이맵을 직접 획득하는 것이 불가능하다. 스테레오 정합으로 획득된 깊이맵은 모호한 텍스처를 갖는 영역에서 낮은 정확도를 가지며, 깊이 카메라를 통해 직접 깊이맵을 획득한 경우에는 센서 잡음이나 낮은 해상도 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이미 획득된 깊이맵의 화질을 향상시키거나 고해상도로 변환하는 기술 동향을 살펴본다. 초기에 개발된 깊이맵만을 이용한 기술부터 대응되는 색상 영상 정보를 함께 이용한 기술을 소개하고, 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 복합형 카메라를 이용하여 깊이맵 화질을 향상시키는 기술을 자세히 살펴본다.

This paper presents a scalable coding method for depth images by considering the quality of synthesized images in virtual views. First, we design a new edge detection algorithm that is based on calculating the depth difference between two neighboring pixels within the depth map. By choosing different thresholds, this algorithm generates a scalable bit stream that puts larger depth differences in front, followed by smaller depth differences. A scalable scheme is also designed for coding depth pixels through a layered sampling structure. At the receiver side, the full-resolution depth image is reconstructed from the received bits by solving a partial-differential-equation (PDE). Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the rate-distortion performance of synthesized images at virtual views and achieves better visual quality.

본 논문에서는 기존의 DERS, VSRS를 이용한 가상시점 합성이 가지고 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 비지도 학습 방식의 학습 모델을 이용하여 가상시점 합성에 적용하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에서는 기존의 DERS와 달리 Disparity의 탐색범위를 지정하지 않고 Depth의 예측이 가능하며 단안의 영상에서 Depth를 예측하기 때문에 가상시점 합성 시 더 넓은 시점을 합성 할 수 있다. 또한 기존 방식은 Depth와 합성 영상을 각각 처리해야하지만 제안하는 방식은 한 번에 작업이 이루어지며, GPU를 기반으로 구현하였기 때문에 기존의 합성 방식 보다 처리 속도가 우수하다.

Depth map is the most common way of expressing 3D space in immersive media. In this paper, we propose a post-processing method to improve the quality of depth map. In proposed method, a depth map is divided into segments, and the plane of each segment estimated using RANSAC. In order to increase the accuracy of the RANSAC process, we apply matching reliability of each pixel in depth map as a weighting factor.

This study was conducted to enhance the cubic effect by representing an image with a sense of three-dimensional (3D) depth, using chromostereopsis, among the characteristics of human visual perception. An algorithm that enhances the cubic effect, based on the theory that the cubic effect of the chromostereoptic effect and the chromostereoptic reversal effect depends on the lightness of the background, classifies the layers of the 3D image input into the foreground, middle, and background layers according to the depth of the image input. It suits the characteristics of human visual perception because it controls the color factor that was adaptively detected through experiments on each layer; and it can achieve an enhanced cubic effect that is suitable for the characteristics of the image input.

In the stereoscopic or multiview display, the depth video illustrates visual distances between objects and camera. To promote the computational efficiency of depth video encoder, we exploit the intra prediction of depth videos under Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and observe a diverse distribution of intra prediction modes with different coding unit sizes. We propose a hybrid scheme to further boost fast depth video coding. In the first stage, we adaptively predict the HADamard (HAD) costs of intra prediction modes and initialize a candidate list according to the HAD costs. Then, the candidate list is further improved by considering the probability distribution of candidate modes with different CU sizes. Finally, early termination of CU splitting is performed at each CU depth level based on the Bayesian theorem. Our proposed method is incorporated into VVC intra prediction for fast coding of depth videos. Experiments with 7 standard sequences and 4 Quantization parameters (Qps) validate the efficiency of our method.

증강현실에서 다양한 미디어의 결합으로 보다 향상된 현실감 있는 멀티미디어 데이터가 요구되고 있다. 기존의 미디어 정보에 텍스트 및 음성과 비디오 등 다양한 미디어를 결합한 멀티미디어 정보에 대한 첨단 기술이 미디어 산업 전반에 주도적인 위치를 점하고 있다. 특히 인터넷에서의 다양한 의사전달 수단 및 시각화에 대한 관심과 가상공간에서의 의사 표현을 위한 실시간 상호작용 시스템 구축 및 3차원 콘텐츠, 증강현실 기술에 대한 서비스 요구가 증가되고 있다. 이러한 서비스들은 기존 콘텐츠에서 입체감 형성을 위한 3차원 공간구조의 복원에 필요한 깊이 값 생성에 어려움이 있다. 그러므로 2차원 영상을 이용하여 효율적인 Depth-map 생성에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 영상을 이용하여 3차원 공간구조 복원에 필요한 Depth-map 생성기법의 단점을 보완하여, 기존 알고리즘에서 정의 되지 않은 영상 내 소실점 위치에 따른 갚아 방향의 정의를 통한 개선된 Depth-map 생성 기법을 제안하였다.
