In this paper we suggest a method of detecting the two eyes position of moving viewer by using images obtained through a color CCD camera, and also a method of rendering view-dependent 3D image which consists of depth estimation, image-based 3D object modeling and stereoscopic display process. Through the experiment of applying the suggested methods, we could find the accurate two-eyes position with the success rate of 97.5% within the processing time of 0.39 second using personal computer, and display the view-dependent 3D image using Fl6 flight model. And through the similarity measurement of stereo image rendered at z-buffer by Open Inventor and captured by stereo camera using robot, we could find that view-dependent 3D picture obtained by our proposed method is optimal to viewer.

최근, 핸드폰은 일상생활의 필수품이 되었다. 특히 카메라가 장착된 핸드폰은 개인홍보와 오락요소로의 대표적인 도구로 사용된다. 나아가 양안카메라가 적용된 핸드폰은 사용자에게 입체감을 전달할 것이며, 입체감은 보다 효과적인 개인홍보 및 오락성을 제공할 것이다. 핸드폰은 휴대가 용이하지만 제한된 표시소자의 크기 및 해상도로 인하여 입체시 구현 시 사용자에게 손실된 정보 및 낮은 임장감을 제공한다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 입체시 구현에 대한 구속조건들을 분석하고 핵심 요인을 산출하여, 핸드폰 환경에서의 최적의 입체시 구현을 위한 새로운 구속조건의 범위를 정량화하였다. 대표적인 구속조건으로는 수평, 수직 시차량이 고려되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 핸드폰용 양안카메라의 제작공차 및 효과적인 시차영상 제작을 위한 기준을 제시한다. 연구에 사용된 제품으로는 QVGA해상도(320*240) 및 2.8' 크기의 표시소자인 PDA폰이며, 입체시에 대한 구속조건을 정량화하기 위하여 수직, 수평이동이 가능한 지그를 사용하여 실험의 정확성을 높였다. 피실험자는 10명이며 남자 7명, 여자 3명으로 구성되었다.

We propose a new type of stereoscopic camera system with a zoom lens module to overcome the backlash for the stability of picture matching and the difficulty of zoom control. This system is designed to control a pair of zoom lens with a rotation lever. In this paper, we present the structural characteristics of our proposed system, and verify that there are no image mismatching at acquired stereo images and the zoom in$\cdot$out is easy to control. In our experiments, we achieve good results that a convergence control is very simple and distortion of images is decreased.

최근 3D 비디오의 흥행과 더불어 사람들이 스테레오스코픽 비디오를 쉽게 접할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 부적절한 스테레오 스코픽 비디오는 시청자로 하여금 어지럼증, 눈의 피로 등을 느끼게 할 수 있다. 따라서 비디오 컨텐츠를 분석하여 피로도를 예츨할 수 있는 지표의 개발이 필요하다. 스테레오스코픽 비디오에서 피로도를 유발시키는 원인은 여러 가지가 있으며, 본 논문에서는 비디오의 카메라 움직임 정보에 집중한다. 카메라의 흔들림은 심각한 멀미를 유발할 수 있다. 이는 스테레오스코픽 비디오에서 더욱 강렬하게 나타나게 된다. 우리는 스테레오스코픽 비디오의 흔들림을 측정하기 위해 3D 복원 기술을 사용한다. 특히, 좌안 비디오와 우안 비디오의 정보를 모두 활용하는 최적화된 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 통해 우리는 각 프레임의 카메라 위치와 방향 정보를 획득할 수 있다. 마지막으로 획득한 3차원 카메라 움직임 정보로부터 카메라의 흔들림을 잘 표현할 수 있는 점수를 계산한다.

In this paper we propose a new stereo matching algorithm which is suitable for application to obtain depth information with high-speed in stereoscopic camera environment. For satisfying these condition we propose a new adaptive stereo matching technique using frequency information in discrete wavelet (DWT) domain and variable matching window. The size of the matching window is selected by analysis of the local property of the image in spatial domain and the feature and scaling factor of the matching window is selected by the frequency property in the frequency domain. For using frequency information we use local DWT and global DWT. We identified that the proposed technique has better peak noise to signal ratio (PSNR) than the fixed matching techniques with similar complexity.

자유시점 비디오는 단순히 수동적으로 비디오를 보는 것이 아니라 원하는 시점을 자유로이 선택하여 보는 능동형 비디오이다. 일반적으로 다양한 위치 및 다양한 각도에 위치하는 다수의 카메라로부터 촬영된 영상을 이용하여 제작하는데, 이 기술은 박물관 투어, 엔터테인먼트 등의 다양한 분야에서 활용된다. 본 논문에서는 자유시점 비디오의 새로운 분야로 한 장의 영상을 가상 카메라와 깊이맵을 이용하여 영상 내부를 네비게이션하는 자유시점 입체 Tour-Into-Picture (TIP)을 제안한다. 오래전부터 TIP가 연구되어 왔는데, 이 분야는 한 장의 사진 내부를 탐험하면서 애니메이션으로 볼 수 있게 하는 기술이다. 제안 방법은 전처리과정으로 전경 마스크, 배경영상, 및 깊이맵을 자동 및 수동 방법으로 구한다. 다음에는 영상 내부를 항해하면서 투영 영상들을 획득한다. 배경영상과 전객객체의 3D 모델링 데이터를 기반으로 가상 카메라의 3차원 공간 이동, yaw, pitch, rolling의 회전, look-around effect, 줌인 등의 다양한 카메라 기능을 활용하여 자유시점 비디오를 구현한다. 또한 깊이정보의 특성 및 구조에 따라 놀라운 시청효과를 전달하는 카메라 기능의 설정 방법을 소개한다. 소프트웨어는 OpenGL 및 MFC Visual C++ 기반으로 구축되었으며, 실험영상으로 조선시대의 작품인 신윤복의 단오풍정을 사용하였고, 입체 애니메이션으로 제작되어 보다 실감있는 콘텐츠를 제공한다.

Head fixed type multi-focus display system using Galvano-scanner and DMD(Digital Micro-mirror Device), which is able to perfectly accommodate, can solve eye fatigue due to conflict between convergence eye movement and accommodation action in stereoscopic display. This system is able to accommodate through making convergence point about each view point and offering it in front of observer's pupil by using laser scanning method. In this paper, we analyzed laser scanning method of this multi-focus display system. And multi-focus display system based on this analysis was made, which showed that focus adjustment was possible through video camera. As a result, formation principle of view point of multi-focus system by laser scanning method was verified.

This paper analyzes qualitatively the stereo 3D content factors causing viewer's discomfort. For this, we perform a subjective test that each subject strokes a specific key whenever he (she) feels discomfort during watching a stereo 3D contents. Also we extract the data for the factors in the 3D contents to obtain their quantitative values and the amounts of the temporal changes. Those two sets of data are used to analyze the contents to find the factors which cause viewer's discomfort. The factors to be considered are the amount and the frequency of the disparity changes, story of the contents, situation or environments of a scene, movement and the position of the camera, color and luminance information as well as disparities themselves. We analyse the various strong and weak factors and their composites to find how much discomfort each factor or composite causes. We also show the situations and their related factors that causes less discomfort than the amount of their disparities.

A micro 3D-PTV system has been constructed using a single camera system. Two viewing holes were created behind the object lens of the microscopic system to construct a stereoscopic viewing image. A hybrid recursive PTV algorithm was used. A concept of epipolar line was adopted to eliminate many spurious candidates. Three-dimensional velocity vector fields were obtained by calculating the three-dimensional displacements of particles that were identified as being identical. The system consists of a laser light source (Ar-ion, 500 mW), one high-definition camera ($1028{\times}1024$ pixels, 500 fps), a circular plate with two viewing holes, and a host computer. The performance of the developed algorithm was tested using artificial images. The characteristic of the vector recovery ratio was investigated for the particle numbers. A micro backward-facing step channel ($H{\times}h{\times}W:\;36{\mu}m{\times}70{\mu}m{\times}3000{\mu}m$) was measured using the developed measurement system. The results were in good qualitative agreement with other results.

Development of computer and electronic technology leads innovative progress in spatial informatics and successful commercialization. Geospatial information technology plays an important role in decision making in various applications. However, information display media are two-dimensional plane that limits visual perception. Understanding human visual processing mechanism to percept stereo vision makes possible to implement three-dimensional stereo image display. This paper proposes on-the-fly stereo image generation methods that are involved with various exterior and camera parameters including exposure station, viewing direction, image size, overlap and focal length. Collinearity equations and parameters related with stereo viewing conditions were solved to generate realisitc stereo imagery. In addition stereo flying simulation scenery was generated with different viewing locations and directions. The stereo viewing is based on the parallax principle of two veiwing locations. This study implemented anaglyphic stereogram, polarization and lenticular stereo display methods. Existing display technology has limitation to provide visual information of three-dimensional and dynamic nature of the real world because the 3D spatial information is projected into 2D plane. Therefore, stereo display methods developed in this study improves geospatial information and applications of GIS by realistic stereo visualization.
