Abstract

Recent evolution of computer technology enhances the effectiveness of CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis for the 3-dimensional complex transport phenomena including turbulent flows. Cheaper and easier than laser and ultra-sonic methods, the windows simulator name by CAMSI(Computer-Aided Management of Stereo Images) has been developed in order to implement the 3-dimensional image using a disparity histogram extracted from left and right stereo images. In our program using the area-based method, the matching pixel finding methods consist of SSD(Sum of Squared Distance), SAD(Sum of Absolute Distance), NCC(Normalized Correlation Coefficient) and MPC(Matching Pixel Count). On performing the program, stereo images on different window sizes for various matching pixel finding methods are compared reasonably. When the image has a small noise, SSD on small window size is more effective. Whereas there is much noise, NCC or MPC is more effective than SSD. CAMSI from the present study will be much helpful to implement the complex objects and to analyze 3-dimensional CFD around them.

최근 전산기술의 발전으로 난류를 비롯한 3차원의 복잡한 전달현상에 대한 전산유체역학(CFD) 해석의 실효성이 제고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초음파나 레이저를 이용한 방법보다 저렴하고, 간편하게 좌, 우 입체 화상으로 추출된 입체화상의 변위히스토그램을 이용하여 3차원 화상을 구현하기 위한 윈도우환경하의 모사기 CAMSI(Computer-Aided Management of Stereo Images)를 개발하였다. 본 프로그램에서는 영역기반 방법이 적용되었으며, 좌우 화상의 정합시 대응점을 결정하기 위하여 제곱차거리합계(SSD), 절대거리차합계(SAD), 평균상관계수(NCC)와 동일점세기(MPC)의 방법들이 각각 적용되었다. 구현된 프로그램은 다양한 윈도우 크기와 한계값에 대하여 우수한 해석능력을 보여주었다. 특히, 화상의 잡영이 적은 곳에서는 작은 윈도우 크기의 SSD가 좀더 정확성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 일반적으로는 NCC가, 그리고 잡영이 매우 심한 경우에는 MPC 또는 NCC가 SSD보다는 정확성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 구현된 CAMSI는 복잡한 물체의 구현 또는 그 주변에서 다양한 전달현상의 3차원 CFD 해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
