초록

본 논문에서는 주시각과 초점을 동시에 제어할 수 있는 수평이동방식 입체카메라를 설계/제작하고, 이를 자동으로 제어하기 위한 시차정보 추출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 수평이동방식 입체카메라의 기하학적 구조를 분석하여 주시각과 초점 제어량 사이의 선형관계를 도출하였으며, 이를 근거로 주시각과 초점이 동시 제어되는 입체카메라를 설계/제작하였다. 그리고, 1차원 Cepstrum 필터를 이용한 시차정보 추출 알고리즘을 적용하여, 주시각과 초점이 동시에 자동 제어되는 입체카메라 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 시차 추출시간 및 에러율에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 입체카메라 시스템은 제어시간 및 에러율을 크게 줄여 자연스럽고 선명한 입체영상을 획득할 수 있게 하였으며, 입체카메라 조작을 단순화시킴으로서 사용자의 편리성을 추구하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest Vergence Information Extracting Algorithm(VIEA) which enables quick and accurate vergence information achievement for automation of vergence and focus control of horizontal moving stereoscopic camera. Firstly, for this purpose, the geometric structure of horizontal moving stereoscopic camera device was analyzed and linear relation between the vergence and the focus control. Then stereoscopic camera was designed and produced with the application of vergence and focus relation formula. Finally, VIEA that uses Cepstrum filter was employed to implement Automatic Vergence and Focus Controlling Stereoscopic Camera System(AVFCSCS). VIEA showed lower vergence achievement time and error ratio in comparison with existing algorithms. The suggested system in this study substantially reduced the controlling time and error-ratio as to make it possible to achieve natural and clear images. It also simplified the handling of stereoscopic camera for the convenience of end-users.
