화자종속 음성인식 시스템은 훈련 데이터가 화자들 사이의 음향적 변이를 충분히 모델링 할 수 있을 때, 화자독립 시스템보다 더 성능이 졸은 것으로 알려져 있다. 화자 정규화 기술은 입력음성의 스펙트럼을 수정하여 화자들 사이의 변이를 줄인다. 최근 성공적인 화자 정규화 알고리즘은 신호처리단계에 화자 특유 주파수 워핑을 통합했다. 이런 알고리즘은 입력음성에 담겨있는 음향적 특징을 다 사용하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 화자의 음향적 특징으로 세 개의 포만트 주파수를 이용하였고, 수집된 포만트 주파수들로부터 워핑함수를 정의하는데 선형회귀를 사용한 화자 정규화 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법을 사용하여 인식 성능을 향상할 수 있었다.

Moving objects' trajectories play an important role in indexing video data on their content and semantics for content-based video retrieval. In this paper, we propose new similar sub-trajectory retrieval schemes based on k-warping algorithm for efficient retrieval on moving objects' trajectories in video data. The proposed schemes are fixed-replication similar sub-trajectory retrieval(FRSR) and variable-replication similar sub-trajectory retrieval(VRSR). The former can replicate motions with a fixed number for all motions being composed of the trajectory. The latter can replicate motions with a variable number. Our schemes support multiple properties including direction, distance, and time interval as well as a single property of direction, which is mainly used for modeling moving objects' trajectories. Finally, we show from our experiment that our schemes outperform Li's scheme(no-warping) and Shan's scheme(infinite-warping) in terns of precision and recall measures.

In FPGA-based real-time image warping systems, image caches are utilized for fast readout of image pixel data and reduction of memory access rate. However, a cache algorithm for a general computer system is not suitable for real-time performance because of time delays from cache misses and on-line computation complexity. In this paper, a simple image cache algorithm is presented for a FPGA-based real-time image warping system. Considering that pixel data access sequence is determined from the 2D coordinate transformation and repeated identically at every image frame, a cache load sequence is off-line programmed to guarantee no cache miss condition, and reduced on-line computation results in a simple cache controller. An overall system structure using a FPGA is presented, and experimental results are provided to show accuracy and validity of the proposed cache algorithm.

This study proposes a leaf modeling method that uses feature-based warping for efficient generation of various digital leaves. The proposed method uses warping method, one of image processing application techniques that can control various shapes of leaves in an easy, intuitive way, and generate natural patterns of veins efficiently. First, information on approximated contour is detected from a leaf blade image to identify the shape of a blade. Based on this, control line is automatically calculated to be used for feature-based warping. Then, control line-based warping is conducted to modify forms of leaf blade images in an intuitive way, automatically generating leaves of various shapes. And natural vein patterns are generated by applying a contour-based venation growth algorithm from contour information of the modified leaf blade images. This study performs experiments to verify whether various shape of leaves that comprise plants can be efficiently generated using a sample binary image of a blade. Also, we demonstrate that express the natural growth of leaves by applying warping to the growth of the leaf blade.

저가형 디지털 카메라에 사용되는 광학계의 경우 상대적으로 많은 렌즈 왜곡을 보인다. 이러한 현상은 제조 가격 및 소형 구현시의 제한에 기인하는 것으로 렌즈 재설계를 통한 물리적 보정에는 비용 및 구현시 부피 등의 측면에서 바람직하지 못한 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 렌즈 왜곡을 소프트웨어 측면에서 보정하는 경우에 카메라 캘리브레이션을 통한 렌즈 왜곡 변수를 계산하는 방법 및 계산된 렌즈 왜곡 변수를 이용하여 왜곡된 원영상을 이미지 워핑을 통해 보정하는 방법에 대해 알아본다. 아울러 이러한 방법의 적용 타당성을 살펴보기 위하여 카메라 캘리브레이션을 통해 scale factor ratio 및 이미지 센터와 같은 카메라 상수를 처리하는 방식에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

평면 추적(planar tracking) 기반의 카메라 추적에 있어, 특징 검출자의 반복성과 특징 기술자(descriptor)의 정합 성능에 따라서 떨림 현상(jitter)이 발생한다. 특히, 모바일 환경에서와 같은 연산력이 부족한 환경에서 고속화를 위해 특징 검출 및 기술 알고리즘을 간략화 시킬 경우, 이러한 떨림 현상은 심각한 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 입력 영상을 워핑(warping)하여 특징 점을 재검출한 후 카메라 영상과 참조 영상(reference image) 사이의 호모그래피를 보완하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 특징 검출 및 기술 알고리즘의 성능을 보완하여 떨림 현상을 크게(70% 이상) 감소시킴을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 외삽 시점 영상 생성 시 발생하는 홀을 채우는 방법을 제안한다. 스테레오 영상에 3D 워핑을 이용하여 다수의 시점을 생성할 수 있다. 하지만 이 방법은 보이지 않는 시점에서의 영역을 완벽히 복원할 수 없기 때문에 필연적으로 홀이 발생한다. 홀을 채우기 위해 먼저 홀 영역의 경계를 Random Walks 알고리즘을 이용하여 전경과 배경으로 구분한다. 그리고 홀을 배경 성분에 해당하는 영역만을 이용하여 채우게 된다. 홀 채움 과정에서는 패치 내의 홀의 비율과 컬러와 깊이 영상의 텍스처에 대한 복잡도를 정의하고 패치 별로 우선순위를 계산하여 높은 순위의 패치로 홀을 채우게 된다. 실험 결과 제안하는 기법이 홀을 효과적으로 채우는 것을 확인하였다.

Since the depth and texture images have been widely used for generating 3-dimensional stereoscopic image, the security of them have been focused. In this paper, we propose a new watermarking technique for copyright of stereo and multiview images which is generated in an arbitrary viewpoint by depth and texture image. After the mark space is selected for preserving watermark through DIBR (depth-image-based rendering) process which uses 3D warping, the texture image is transformed to the frequency coefficient using 2D DCT (discrete cosine transform). Some parts of them are quantized, which is the corresponding process to watermarking. The embedded watermark is not conformed by eyes, so we identified the invisibility of the proposed method. In case of appling attacks of general image process, we also identified the robustness of it.

This paper presents a new image cache algorithm for real-time implementation of high-resolution color image warping. The cache memory is divided into four cache memory modules for simultaneous readout of four input image pixels in consideration of the color filter array (CFA) pattern of an image sensor and CFA image warping. In addition, a pipeline structure from the cache memory to an interpolator is shown to guarantee the generation of an output image pixel at each system clock cycle. The proposed image cache algorithm is applied to an FPGA-based real-time color image warping, and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a novel localization algorithm based on ego-motion which used Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow and warping image obtained through fish-eye lenses mounted on the robots. The omnidirectional image sensor is a desirable sensor for real-time view-based recognition of a robot because the all information around the robot can be obtained simultaneously. The preprocessing (distortion correction, image merge, etc.) of the omnidirectional image which obtained by camera using reflect in mirror or by connection of multiple camera images is essential because it is difficult to obtain information from the original image. The core of the proposed algorithm may be summarized as follows: First, we capture instantaneous $360^{\circ}$ panoramic images around a robot through fish-eye lenses which are mounted in the bottom direction. Second, we extract motion vectors using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow in preprocessed image. Third, we estimate the robot position and angle using ego-motion method which used direction of vector and vanishing point obtained by RANSAC. We confirmed the reliability of localization algorithm using ego-motion based on fisheye warping image through comparison between results (position and angle) of the experiment obtained using the proposed algorithm and results of the experiment measured from Global Vision Localization System.
