For efficient transmission of 3DTV video signals, it is necessary to eliminate the inherent redundancy between the stereo image pairs. Though disparity estimation provides a powerful tool for eliminating the redundancy, it is very time consuming. This paper presents a novel disparity estimation scheme based on the human visual property. The disparity vectors of image blocks spatially adjacent to the current block are used as initial guesses fur the disparity vector of the current block. In addition, mixed-resolution coding is applied to reduce the computational complexity of disparity estimation. Through computer simulations on a stereoscopic sequence we show that the proposed method gives rise .to visually pleasing results with much reduced computational complexity.

Conventional stereo matching algorithms fail when they deal with anaglyph image as its input because anaglyph image does not have similar intensity on both view images. To ameliorate such problems, we propose a robust method to obtain accurate disparity maps. The novel Absolute Adaptive Normalized Cross Correlation (AANCC) for anaglyph data cost is introduced in this paper. Then, it is followed by occlusion detection and segmentation-based plane fitting to achieve accurate depth map acquisition. Experimental results confirm that the proposed anaglyph data cost is robust and gives accurate disparity maps.

Some of satellites such as IKONOS don't provide the orbital elements so that we can’ utilize the physical sensor model. Therefore, Rational Function Model(RFM) which is one of mathematical models could be a feasible solution. In order to improve 3D geopositioning accuracy of IKONOS stereo imagery, Rational Polynomial Coefficients(RPCs) of the RFM need to be updated with Ground Control Points(GCPs). In this paper, a method to improve RPCs of RFM using GCPs and 3D cube is proposed. Firstly, the image coordinates of GCPs are observed. And then, using offset values and scale values of RPC provided, the image coordinates and ground coordinates of 3D cube are initially determined and updated RPCs are computed by the iterative least square method. The proposed method was implemented and analyzed in several cases: different numbers of 3D cube layers and GCPs. The experimental results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of RPCs in great amount.

This paper proposes a visual servoing method based on QR decomposition and disturbance observer. The QR decomposition factors the image feature Jacobian into a unitary matrix and an upper triangular matrix. And it is shown that several performance indices such as measurement sensitivity of visual features, sensitivity of the control to noise and controllability can be improved for any general image feature Jacobian by QR decomposition and disturbance observer. To show the validity of the proposed approach, visual servoing with stereo vision is carried out for a Samsung FARAMAN 6-axis industrial robot manipulator.

In this paper, we present a robust and fast method that enables real-time computing of axial motion component of different points of a scene from a stereo images sequence. The aim of our method is to establish axial motion maps by computing a range of disparity maps. We propose a solution in two steps. In the first step we estimate motion with a low level computing for an image point by a detection estimation-structure. In the second step, we use the neighbourhood information of the image point with morphology operation. The motion maps are established with a constant computation time without spatio-temporal matching.

This paper presents a measuring technique for bursting height of proximity fuses. This technique uses camera calibration to obtain the perspective transformation matrix describing the projection of the world coordinates to image coordinates, and calculates the world coordinates of bursting points from their image coordinates. The surface approximation algorithm by polynomial functions are also implemented.

Images are 2-dimensional projection of 3-dimensional scenes and many problems of scene analysis arise due to inherent depth ambiguities in a monocular 2-D image. Therefore, depth recovery is a crucial problem in image understanding. This paper proposes modified algorithm which is focused on accurate correspondnce in stereo vision. The feature we use is zero-crossing points and the similarity measure with two property evaluation function is used to estimate initial probability. And we introduce relaxation technique for accurate and global correspondence.

본 논문에서는 실물체의 3차원 모델을 복원하기 위해 거리영상 카메라에서 획득된 3차원 점군에 대한 온라인 정합 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 거리영상 카메라를 사용하여 연속된 거리영상과 사진영상을 획득하고 문턱값(threshold)을 이용하여 물체와 배경에 대한 정보를 분류한다. 거리영상에서 특징점을 선택하고 특징점에 해당하는 거리영상의 3차원 점군을 이용하여 투영 기반 정합을 실시한다. 초기정합이 종료되면 사진영상간의 대응점을 추적하여 거리영상을 정제하는 과정을 거치는데 대응점 추적에 사용되는 KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) 추적기를 수정하여 초기정합의 결과를 대응점 탐색에 이용함으로써 탐색의 속도와 성공률을 증가시켰다. 특징점과 추적된 대응점에 해당하는 3차원 점군을 이용하여 거리영상의 정제를 수행하고 정합이 완료되면 오프라인에서 3차원 모델을 합성하였다. 제안한 알고리듬을 적용하여 2개의 실물체에 대하여 실험을 수행하고 3차원 모델을 생성하였다.

Using high resolution stereoscopic imaging system three digital elevation model of tunnel face is acquired. The images oriented within a given tunnel coordinate system are brought into a stereoscopic vision system enabling three dimensional inspection and evaluation. The possibilities for the prediction ahead and outside of tunnel face have been improved by the digital vision system with 3D model. Interpolated image structures of rock mass between subsequent stereo images will enable to model the rock mass surrounding the opening within a short time at site. The models shall be used as input to numerical simulations on site, comparison of expected and encountered geological conditions, and for the interpretation of geotechnical monitoring results.

The distance between objects and a service robot can be measured by stereo vision system, but the two cameras need the same number of image grabber boards. In this paper, an approach to measure the distance is presented by using one camera which moves horizontally via motor position control. Images are captured at two different places where we know, and distance calculation is performed with the images and the camera position data. With a simple algorithm the proposed system requires only one image grabber board and no camera sequence controls are necessary, which resuces the system costs.
