In this paper we propose a method of reconstruction of cylindrical panorama using simplified projective transform from the panning image on the fixed camera. For the practical construction of cylindrical panorama we consider the rotation of the camera on the Y-axis only, even though considering the rotation components on all of the X,Y,Z axis on three-dimensional space for projective transform between general panoramas. The restriction mentioned above simplifies projective transform with existing 8 degrees of freedom into the one with 4 degrees of freedom. In the results, overall computation for projective transform can be decreased to the great extents in quantify, because the number of corresponding points required for inducing the transforming formula is gone down by half. Proposed algorithm from the simulation carried out in this paper shows similar performance and decreased computational quantity compared with existing algorithm. Also, it shows the construction of cylindrical panorama using simplified projective transform.

We research properties of analytic functions which are exponentially decreasing or increasing. Also we show that the space of test functions is dense in the space of extended Fourier hyper-functions, and that the Fourier transform of the space of extended Fourier hyperfunctions into itself is an isomorphism and Parseval's inequality holds.

This paper proposes a new method to construct a panorama image from video sequences captured by the video camcoder revolving on the center axis of the tripod. The proposed method is consisted of two algorithms; frame selection and image mosaics. In order to select frames to construct the panorama image, we employ the interpolation search using the information in overlapped areas. This method can search suitable frames quickly. We construct an image mosaic using the projective transform induced from four pairs of quasi-features. The conventional methods select feature points by using only texture information, but the presented method in this paper uses the position of each feature point as well. We make an experiment on the proposed method with real video sequences. The results show that the proposed method is better than the conventional one in terms of image quality.

In image-based gait recognition systems, physical factors, such as the camera angle and the lens distortion, and environmental factors such as illumination determines the performance of recognition. In this paper we present a robust gait recognition method by compensating various types of image distortions. The proposed method is compared with existing gait recognition algorithm with consideration of both physical and environmental distortion factors in the input image. More specifically, we first present an efficient compensation algorithm of image distortion by using the projective transform, and test the feasibility of the proposed algorithm by comparing the recognition performances with and without the compensation process. Proposed method gives universal gait data which is invariant to both distance and environment. Gained data improved gait recognition rate about 41.5% in indoor image and about 55.5% in outdoor image. Proposed method can be used effectively in database(DB) construction, searching and tracking of specific objects.

This paper proposes the wafer position recognition algorithm using camera. First, for eliminating the image distortions caused by the illumination and the irregular camera position, the wafer image is restored as a circle through projective transformation. Next, we use edge detection algorithm to extract the wafer's edge and then apply Generalized Symmetry Transform(GST) to extract a circle. The GST evaluates symmetry between two points by combining a distance weight function, a phase weight function, and a logarithmic mapping of the points' intensities and detecting interest regions. Trough several experiments, we found out the proposed method is able to prevent the cleaning system and the wafer from damaging.

We present a method to detect on-road vehicle using geometric invariant of feature points on side planes of the vehicle. The vehicles are assumed into a set of planes and the invariant from motion information of features on the plane segments the plane from the theory that a geometric invariant value defined by five points on a plane is preserved under a projective transform. Harris corners as a salient image point are used to give motion information with the normalized correlation centered at these points. We define a probabilistic criterion to test the similarity of invariant values between sequential frames. Experimental results using images of real road scenes are presented.

In this paper, we propose an automatic image registration method for multi-sensor image fusion such as visible and infrared images. The registration is achieved by finding corresponding feature points in both input images. In general, the global statistical correlation is not guaranteed between multi-sensor images, which bring out difficulties on the image registration for multi-sensor images. To cope with this problem, mutual information is adopted to measure correspondence of features and to select faithful points. An update algorithm for projective transform is also proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides robust and accurate registration results.

원영상과 목적영상 사이의 원근 변환(projective transform)에 의해서 생성되는 조강도 영상은 영상의 확대와 축소가 동시에 일어나는 특징을 가지고 있다. 조감도 영상을 구성하는 과정은 원영상의 위치에 따라서 원영상을 확대하거나 축소하여 목적영상을 만들어 내기 때문에, 원영상의 확대와 축소영역을 목적영상에 적합하게 나타내기 위한 보간법이 필요하다. 이중선형 보간법(bilinear interpolation)은 낮은 연산량 때문에 영상변환에 많이 사용되는 보간법이다. 하지만 영상의 확대와 축소 영역에서는 흐려지거나 에일리어싱(aliasing) 효과에 의한 아티팩트(artifact)가 일어나는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 고주파성분을 유지하는 에지(edge)정보 기반의 변형된 EWA를 사용 한다. 그리고 엔티 에일리어싱(anti-aliasing)을 수행하는 MIP-mapping을 이용한 보간법을 통해서 축소 영역에서 발생하는 에일리어싱 문제를 해결하여 조감도 영상의 화질을 개선한다.

Especially, proposed algorithm supports robust methods of camera rotation and is applied to various images to estimate ist performance.

홍수시 하천의 유량측정은 매우 어렵고 위험하며 많은 노력과 비용이 드는 작업이다. 이러한 홍수시 유량측정을 위해 영상을 이용하여 하천의 표면유속을 측정하고 여기서 유량을 산정하는 기술은 하천 유량 측정의 자동화와 안전한 유량 측정을 위한 대안으로 크게 주목받고 있다. 그런데, 유속측정을 위해 20~40초 정도의 영상의 평균유속을 구하고자 하면, 방대한 양의 영상처리에 많은 시간이 소요되어 실시간 측정이나 분석이 어렵게 된다. 본 연구는 영상을 이용하여 홍수시 하천의 유량을 실시간으로 측정하기 위해 투영변환과 시공간영상 분석법을 적용하여 실용적인 표면영상유속계를 개발하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해, 3차원 투영변환(11변수 변환)을 적용하여 측정선과 유속측정점의 위치를 영상내에 특정하고 이 부분만을 추출하여 시공간 영상(spatio-temporal images)으로 구성하고, 이 시공간 영상을 분석하여 유속과 유량을 산출하는 기법을 개발하였다. 즉, 하천의 주흐름 방향의 유속만을 산정하도록 하여 영상의 분석에 소요되는 계산량과 계산시간을 단축하였다. 또한, 시공간 분석과정도 기존의 CASTI (Correlation Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Images)를 훨씬 간단하고 빠르게 계산할 수 있도록 개량하였다. 그 결과 영상의 유속분석 및 유량산정에 소요되는 시간을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있었으며, 실시간으로 유량 측정이 가능하게 되었다.
