본 논문에서는 Fingerprint 기법의 Resource로 신호의 세기가 아닌 이미지를 이용해 좌표정보를 포함하는 이미지 기반의 데이터베이스를 구축하고, 사용자로부터 입력되는 이미지와 유사도 비교를 통해 사용자의 위치추정 기법에 대해 제안한다. Fingerprint 기법은 신호 세기뿐만 아니라 환경에 대한 지역적 잡음 정보들까지 모두 추정에 반영하므로 높은 위치 추정 정확도를 제공한다. 이미지의 유사도는 SURF 알고리즘을 통해 데이터베이스와 사용자 입력 이미지의 특징점을 검출하고, 동일한 특징점 간의 매칭을 통해 비교된다. 여기에서 우리는 RANSAC 알고리즘을 함께 사용하여 검출된 특징점의 노이즈 제거를 통해 이미지 유사도 비교의 정확도를 높였다. 제안하는 기법의 검증을 위해 두 건물의 실내와 주변 실외 환경에서 이미지를 획득하여 데이터베이스를 구축하고, 임의의 위치에서 사용자의 위치를 추정하였다. 추정 된 최종 위치는 데이터베이스에 저장 된 이미지가 가지는 좌표가 사용자의 위치와 가장 근접한 좌표로 검출되는지 확인하였으며 RANSAC을 통해 특징점의 노이즈 제거 전과 제거 후에 대한 이미지 유사도 비교의 성능을 분석하였다.

This paper presents a camera calibration method using several images for three dimensional measurement applications such as stereo systems, mobile robots, and visual inspection systems in factories. Conventional calibration methods that use single image suffer from errors related to reference point extraction in image, lens distortion, and numerical analysis of nonlinear optimization. The camera parameter values obtained from images of same camera is not same even though we use same calibration method. The camera parameters that are obtained from several images of different view for a calibration target is usaully not same with large error values and we can not assume a special probabilistic distribution when we estimate the parameter values. In this paper, the median value of camera parameters from several images is used to improve estimation of the camera values in an iterative step with nonlinear optimization. The proposed method is proved by experiments using real images.

The navigation problem for a mobile robot is investigated. Specifically, it is proposed that simple guide-marks be introduced and the navigation scheme be generated in conjunction with the guide-marks sensed through camera vision. For autonomous navigation, it was shown that a triple guide-mark system is more effective than a single guide-mark in estimating the position and orientation of mobile robot itself. The navigation system is tested via a mobile robot HERO-I equipped with a single camera in laboratory environment.

This paper discussed a method for estimating the distance using the stereo zoom lens module. A method for estimating the distance using single zoom lens is limited in convergence angle. So, we composed horizontal moving camera and estimated the distance. In the experiment, we get the wider convergence angle and more precise distance than single camera's.

In the field of machine vision using a single camera mounted on a mobile robot, although the detection and tracking of moving objects from a moving observer, is complex and computationally demanding task. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for a mobile robot to track and capture a moving object using images of a camera. The system consists of the following modules: data acquisition, feature extraction and visual tracking, and trajectory generation. And a single camera is used as visual sensors to capture image sequences of a moving object. The moving object is assumed to be a point-object and projected onto an image plane to form a geometrical constraint equation that provides position data of the object based on the kinematics of the active camera. Uncertainties in the position estimation caused by the point-object assumption are compensated using the Kalman filter. To generate the shortest time trajectory to capture the moving object, the linear and angular velocities are estimated and utilized. The experimental results of tracking and capturing of the target object with the mobile robot are presented.

Theoretical analysis of the depth measurement system with the use of a single camera and a rotating mirror has been done. A camera in front of a rotating mirror acquires a sequence of reflected images, from which depth information is extracted. For an object point at a longer distance, the corresponding pixel in the sequence of images moves at a higher speed. Depth measurement based on such pixel movement is investigated. Since the mirror rotates along an axis that is in parallel with the vertical axis of the image plane, the image of an object will only move horizontally. This eases the task of finding corresponding image points. In this paper, the principle of the depth measurement-based on the relation of the pixel movement speed and the depth of objects have been investigated. Also, necessary mathematics to implement the technique is derived and presented. The factors affecting the measurement precision have been studied. Analysis shows that the measurement error increases with the increase of depth. The rotational angle of the mirror between two image-takings also affects the measurement precision. Experimental results using the real camera-mirror setup are reported.

This paper proposes an algorithm for precise detection of corner points on a coplanar checkerboard in order to perform stereo camera calibration using a single frame. Considering the conditions of automobile production lines where a stereo camera is attached to the windshield of a vehicle, this research focuses on a coplanar calibration methodology. To obtain the accurate values of the stereo camera parameters using the calibration methodology, precise localization of a large number of feature points on a calibration target image should be ensured. To realize this demand, the idea with respect to a checkerboard pattern design and the use of a Homography matrix are provided. The calibration result obtained by the proposed method is also verified by comparing the depth information from stereo matching and a laser scanner.

Camera pose information from 2D face image is very important for making virtual 3D face model synchronize with the real face. It is also very important for any other uses such as: human computer interface, 3D object estimation, automatic camera control etc. In this paper, we have presented a camera position determination algorithm from a single 2D face image using the relationship between mouth position information and face region boundary information. Our algorithm first corrects the color bias by a lighting compensation algorithm, then we nonlinearly transformed the image into $YC_bC_r$ color space and use the visible chrominance feature of face in this color space to detect human face region. And then for face candidate, use the nearly reversed relationship information between $C_b\;and\;C_r$ cluster of face feature to detect mouth position. And then we use the geometrical relationship between mouth position information and face region boundary information to determine rotation angles in both x-axis and y-axis of camera position and use the relationship between face region size information and Camera-Face distance information to determine the camera-face distance. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of our algorithm and the correct determination rate is accredited for applying it into practice.

본 논문에서는 실시간 증강현실 시스템에서의 가상 객체 삽입을 위한 빠르고 안정된 카메라 자세 추정 방법을 제안한다. 단일 프레임에서 마커의 특징점 추출을 통해 카메라의 회전행렬과 이동벡터를 추정한다. 카메라 자세 추정을 위해 정사영 투영모델에서의 분해기법을 사용한다. 정사영 투영모델에서의 분해기법은 객체의 모든 특징점의 깊이좌표가 동일하다고 가정하기 때문에 깊이좌표의 기준이 되는 참조점의 설정과 점의 분포에 따라 카메라 자세 계산의 정확도가 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 일반적으로 잘 동작하고 융통성 있는 참조점 설정 방법과 이상점 제거 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 카메라 자세추정 방법에 기반하여 탐색된 마커 위치에 가상객체를 삽입하기 위한 비디오 증강 시스템을 구현하였다. 실 환경에서의 다양한 비디오에 대한 실험 결과, 제안된 카메라 자세 추정 기법은 기존의 자세추정 기법만큼 빠르고 기존의 방법보다 안정적이고 다양한 증강현실 시스템 응용에 적용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.
