In this paper a Phase-based virtual image encryption and decryption techniques based on a joint transform correlator (JTC) are proposed. In this method, an encrypted image is obtained by multiplying a phase-encoded virtual image that contains no information from the decrypted image with a random phase. Even if this encryption process converts a virtual image into a white-noise-like image, the unauthorized users can permit a counterfeiting of the encrypted image by analyzing the random phase mask using some phase-contrast technique. However, they cannot reconstruct the required image because the virtual image protects the original image from counterfeiting and unauthorized access. The proposed encryption technique does not suffer from strong auto-correlation terms appearing in the output plane. In addition, the reconstructed data can be directly transmitted to a digital system for real-time processing. Based on computer simulations, the proposed encryption technique and decoding system were demonstrated as adequate for optical security applications.

In this paper, we propose a modified smart pixel mapping (SPM) to visualize occluded three-dimensional (3D) objects in real image fields. In integral imaging, orthoscopic real 3D images cannot be displayed because of lenslets and the converging light field from elemental images. Thus, pseudoscopic-to-orthoscopic conversion which rotates each elemental image by 180 degree, has been proposed so that the orthoscopic virtual 3D image can be displayed. However, the orthoscopic real 3D image cannot be displayed. Hence, a conventional SPM that recaptures elemental images for the orthoscopic real 3D image using virtual pinhole array has been reported. However, it has a critical limitation in that the number of pixels for each elemental image is equal to the number of elemental images. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a modified SPM that can solve this critical limitation in a conventional SPM and can also visualize the occluded objects efficiently.

본 논문은 모바일 기반의 실시간 영상 측위 기술 개발을 목표로 사용자가 촬영한 사진과 가상의 텍스쳐 영상 간의 매칭 가능성 확인 연구로 특징점 기반의 매칭 알고리즘의 조합 성능을 비교했다. 특징점 기반의 매칭 알고리즘은 특징점(feature)을 추출하는 과정과 추출된 특징점을 설명하는 서술자(descriptor)를 계산하는 과정, 최종적으로 서로 다른 영상에서 추출된 서술자를 매칭하고, 잘못 매칭된 특징점을 제거하는 과정으로 이루어진다. 이때 매칭 알고리즘 조합을 위해, 특징점을 추출하는 과정과 서술자를 계산하는 과정을 각각 같거나 다르게 조합하여 매칭 성능을 비교하였다. 가상 실내 텍스쳐 영상을 위해 V-World 3D 데스크탑을 활용하였다. 현재 V-World 3D 데스크톱에서는 수직·수평적 돌출부 및 함몰부와 같은 디테일이 보강되었다. 또한, 실제 영상 텍스쳐가 입혀진 레벨로 구축되어 있어, 이를 활용하여 가상 실내 텍스쳐 데이터를 기준영상으로 구성하고, 동일한 위치에서 직접 촬영하여 실험 데이터셋을 구성하였다. 데이터셋 구축 후, 매칭 알고리즘들로 매칭 성공률과 처리 시간을 측정하였고, 이를 바탕으로 매칭 성능 향상을 위해 매칭 알고리즘 조합을 결정하였다. 본 연구에서는 매칭 기법마다 가진 특장점을 기반으로 매칭 알고리즘을 조합하여 구축한 데이터셋에 적용해 적용 가능성을 확인하였고, 추가적으로 회전요소가 고려되었을 때의 성능 비교도 함께 수행하였다. 연구 결과, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)의 feature와 descriptor 조합이 가장 매칭 성공률이 좋았지만 처리 소요 시간이 가장 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었고, Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST)의 feature와 Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB)의 descriptor 조합의 경우, SIFT-SIFT 조합과 유사한 매칭 성공률을 가지면서 처리 소요 시간도 우수하였다. 나아가, FAST-ORB의 경우, 10°의 회전이 데이터셋에 적용되었을 때에도 매칭 성능이 우세함을 확인하였다. 따라서 종합적으로 가상 텍스쳐 영상과 실영상간 매칭을 위해서 FAST-ORB 조합의 매칭 알고리즘이 적합한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A robot system encompassing a remote control and monitoring through a virtual robot design is addressed and a tracking problem for a 2D (2 dimension) moving target by a robot vision is chosen as a case study. The virtual robot is developed, and it synchronizes with the real robot by compensating delay time. Two systems are displayed on a remote panel by communicating command and image data. The virtual robot utilizes an OpenGL library in Visual $C^{++}$ environment. Additionally, the remote monitoring and control between the real robot and the virtual robot are accomplished by employing an appropriate data compression in a network communication.

가상의 삼 차원 컴퓨터 그래픽 영상을 실제 비디오 영상과 합성하는 증강현실을 구현하기 위해서는 카메라의 초점거리 같은 내부변수와 카메라가 어떻게 움직였는지를 나타내는 회전 및 직선 운동에 대한 이동정보가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서, 기존의 방법들은 미리 카메라의 내부변수를 계산해 둔 다음, 실제 영상에서 얻어지는 정보를 이용하여 카메라의 이동정보를 계산하거나, 실제 영상에 카메라 보정을 위한 삼 차원 보정 패턴이 보이도록 한다음 영상에서 그 패턴의 형태를 분석하여 카메라의 내부변수와 운동정보를 동시에 계산하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이 논문에서는 실제 영상에서 얻어지는 정합점들로부터 카메라 조정없이 구할 수 있는 투영기하공간 카메라 이동정보를 이용하여 증강현실을 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 실제 카메라의 내부변수와 유클리드공간 이동정보를 대신하기 위하여 가상카메라를 정의하며, 가상카메라는 실제공간과 가상 그래픽 공간의 연결을 위하여 두 장의 영상에 사용자가 삽입하는 가상공간 좌표계의 기준점들의 영상좌표로부터 구해진다. 제안하는 방법은 카메라의 내부변수에 대한 정보를 따로 구할 필요가 없으며 컴퓨터 그래픽이 지원하는 모든 기능을 비유클리드공간의 정보로도 구현이 가능하다는 것을 보여준다.

The capability of real-time observation in TEM is quite useful to study dynamic phenomena of materials in a certain variable ambience. In performing the experiment, the choice of video recording program is an important factor to obtain high quality of movie streaming. Window Movie Maker (WMM) is generally recommended as a default video recording program if one uses "DV Capture" function in DigitalMicrograph$^{TM}$ (DM) software. However, the image quality does not often satisfy the condition for high-resolution microscopic analysis since the severe information loss in the final result occurs during the conversion process. As a good candidate to overcome this problem, Virtual-Dub is highly recommended since the information loss can be minimized through the streaming process. In this report, we demonstrated how useful VirtualDub works in a high-resolution movie recording. Quantitative comparison of the information quality between the images recorded by each software, WMM and VirtualDub, was carried out based on histogram analysis. As a result, the image recorded by VirtualDub was improved ~13% in brightness and ~122% in contrast compared with the image obtained by WMM at the same imaging condition. Remarkably, the gray gradation (meaning an amount of information) becomes wider up to ~115% than that of the WMM result.

Virtual holography is a methodology of synthesizing apparent three-dimensional images from two-dimensional photographs. Since the input is photographic images of real objects, the degree of realism exceeds that offered by any computer-aided design software. The three-dimensional appearance is given in real-time by images from arbitrary viewing directions. If infinitely many photographs were taken and pasted together, virtual holography would have been trivial. But, the (infinite) storage requirement would prohibit such an attempt.

In this paper, we propose a real-time virtual re-convergence hardware platform especially to reduce the visual fatigue caused by stereoscopy. Our unique idea to reduce visual fatigue is to utilize the virtual re-convergence based on the optimized disparity-map that contains more depth information in the negative disparity area than in the positive area. Our virtual re-convergence hardware platform, which consists of image rectification, disparity estimation, depth post-processing, and virtual view control, is realized in real time with 60 fps on a single Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA chip.

In this paper, we present a new, easy-to-generate system that is capable of creating virtual 3D tree models and simulating a variety of growth processes of a tree from a single, real tree image. We not only construct various tree models with the same trunk through our proposed digital image matting method and skeleton-based abstraction of branches, but we also animate the visual growth of the constructed 3D tree model through usage of the branch age information combined with a scaling factor. To control the simulation of a tree growth process, we consider tree-growing attributes, such as branching orders, branch width, tree size, and branch self-bending effect, at the same time. Other invisible branches and leaves are automatically attached to the tree by employing parametric branch libraries under the conventional procedural assumption of structure having a local self-similarity. Simulations with a real image confirm that our system makes it possible to achieve realistic tree models and growth processes with ease.

Interactive simulators that simulate mechanical systems are being developed for the purpose of performance evaluation of product design, replacement of physical training, and entertainment game. Use of flight simulator is increasing to reduce risk and cost of physical training, and we need virtual environment which covers large area terrain. We need a method that can reduce development cost and construction time of virtual environment that simulate the real environment. There have been attempts to link GIS or remote sensing field with virtual reality. This paper examines a method that helps to construct virtual environment, and attempts to link geographic information with virtual reality. A construction method of virtual environment based on digital map and satellite image has been studied.
