In order to solve the problem of severely distorted images from a wide-angle camera, we propose a calibration method which corrects a radial distortion in wide-angle images by estimation and validation of camera model. First, we estimate a camera model consisting of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from calibration patterns, where intrinsic parameters are the focal length, the principal point and so on, and extrinsic parameters are the relative position and orientation of calibration pattern from a camera. Next we validate the estimated camera model by re-extracting corner points by inversing the model to images. Finally we correct the distortion of the image using the validated camera model. We confirm that the proposed method can correct the distortion more than 80% by the calibration experiments using the lattice shaped pattern images captured from a general web camera and a wide-angle camera.

Gaze detection is to locate the position on a monitor screen where a user is looking by computer vision. Previous gaze detection system uses a wide view camera, which can capture the whole face of user. However, the image resolution is too low with such a camera and the fine movements of user's eye cannot be exactly detected. So, we implement the gaze detection system with a wide view camera and a narrow view camera. In order to detect the position of user's eye changed by facial movements, the narrow view camera has the functionalities of auto focusing and auto pan/tilt based on the detected 3D facial feature positions. As experimental results, we can obtain the facial and eye gaze position on a monitor and the gaze position accuracy between the computed positions and the real ones is about 3.1 cm of RMS error in case of Permitting facial movements and 3.57 cm in case of permitting facial and eye movement. The processing time is so short as to be implemented in real-time system(below 30 msec in Pentium -IV 1.8 GHz)

본 논문에서는 광각렌즈를 장착한 CCD 카메라를 통하여 실시간으로 입력되는 영상 데이터로부터 블록에 기반을 둔 영상처리 방법을 사용하여 움직임 정보를 추출한 후, 펜틸트줌 기능을 갖고 있는 카메라를 이용하여 이동하는 물체를 추적해 가는 실시간 이동물체 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 입력되는 전체 영상 화면을 여러 개의 블록으로 나누어 처리함으로써 보다 빠른 연산 속도를 보이면서도 잡영에도 강하다는 특성을 가진다.

To achieve fully autonomous driving, the perceptual skills of the surrounding environment must be superior to those of humans. The $60^{\circ}$ angle, $120^{\circ}$ wide angle cameras, which are used primarily in autonomous driving, have their disadvantages depending on the viewing angle. This paper uses a multi-angle object recognition system to overcome each of the disadvantages of wide and narrow-angle cameras. Also, the aspect ratio of data acquired with wide and narrow-angle cameras was analyzed to modify the SSD(Single Shot Detector) algorithm, and the acquired data was learned to achieve higher performance than when using only monocular cameras.

In this paper, camera modules and lens's images were analyzed for the compensation of distortion image by wide angle lens based WDR(Wide Dynamic Range) with high resolution sensor(2-Mega CMOS Image sensor). Due to wide angle ($176^{\circ}$) of designed wide angle camera modules, the compensation result of distorted image was analyzed, and the application of these modules was proposed for smart NUX(Natural User eXprience).

Purpose: This study was to design wide angle mobile camera corrected optical distortion for peripheral area, which were reduced optical distortion and TV distortion by using 4 aspherical lenses. Methods: The optical design was satisfied with ${\pm}1%$ optical distortion in viewing angle of $95^{\circ}$ and total length of optical system was less than 4.5 mm which was considering a thickness of mobile camera. 1/3.2 inch (5M) CCD sensor was used in the optical system and set design condition to satisfy MTF which was over than 20% in 140 lp/mm. Results: Optimized wide angle mobile camera showed ${\pm}1%$ optical distortion in full field of $95^{\circ}$ viewing angle and TV distortion was 0.46% so that distortion of peripheral area was reduce. MTF showed over than 20% in every field. Ray aberration and astigmatism were small amount so that it showed stable performance. Conclusions: Obtain wider and clearer view which is reduced image distortion of surrounding area via optical method in wide angle mobile camera which has wider view angle than current mobile camera. And it was able to fix a demerit when it occurred via software correction. It is able to apply to study of camera which is related to spectacles.

자동차를 위한 전방향(omnidirectional) 감시 시스템 같은 감시 시스템, 로봇의 시각 역할 등 다양한 비젼 시스템에서 카메라가 장착되어 사용되고 있다. 광각 카메라에서 획득한 영상은 비선형적인 방사 왜곡을 가지고 있어서 정확한 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 왜곡 보정 작업을 수행하여야 한다. 카메라로부터 입력되는 왜곡 영상을 실시간으로 보정하기 위해서는 많은 연산량을 요구하므로 임베디드 환경에서는 왜곡 보정을 위해 별도의 시스템을 추가하거나 SOC 형태로 개발한 전용 H/W를 추가한다. 본 논문에서는 왜곡 보정 과정에 필요한 연산들을 분석하고, 연산량을 줄일 수 있는 개선된 왜곡 보정 방법을 제안한다. 또한, ARM11 기반 임베디드 환경에서 제안한 왜곡 보정 방법을 직접 구현하여 성능을 평가함으로써 임베디드 환경에서 추가의 시스템이나 추가의 비용없이 왜곡 보정을 수행할 수 있음을 보인다.

현재 시판되고 있는 대다수의 자동차에 장착된 사이드미러와 백미러 같은 기존의 비젼 시스템은 모두 사각지대(blind spot)를 가지고 있다. 사각지대는 크고 작은 사고의 원인이 되기도 한다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 자동차 기업들은 자사의 고급 자동차 후방에 광각(wide-angle) 카메라를 장착하고 있다. 광각 카메라 시스템은 1대의 카메라를 사용하여 후방 영상을 얻고 그것을 그대로 보여줌으로서 어느 정도 사각지대를 줄여주는 역할을 하고 있지만 후방의 모든 사각지대를 제거해주지는 못한다. 그러므로 다수의 카메라를 사용하면 보다 넓은 후방 시야를 확보함으로서 보다 완벽하게 사각지대를 제거할 뿐만 아니라, 좀 더 다양한 위험물 정보를 주행 중에도 운전자에게 제공하는 것이 가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 사각지대를 제거하기 위해 차량의 좌, 우측 그리고 후방에 3대의 카메라를 장착하고, 장착된 카메라를 통해 얻어진 영상을 통합한 파노라마 영상을 생성하는 방법과 다양한 환경에서 실험한 결과를 제시한다. 파노라마 영상을 생성하기 위해서 제안하는 방법은 3D 와핑을 통해 각 영상의 Bird's Eye View를 생성하고, 생성된 Bird's Eye View를 2차원 이동변환만을 이용해서 하나의 통합된 Bird's Eye View를 만든다. 이렇게 만들어진 통합된 영상을 후방 카메라를 기준으로 다시 3D 와핑 함으로서 완전한 파노라마 영상을 생성한다. 제시된 방법으로 다양한 상황에 따라 실험을 수행하고, 이를 통해 문제점을 찾아본다.

This paper presents the auto-extraction method that searches for the Mapping points in the calibration algorithm of the image acquired by the wide angle CCD camera. In this algorithm, we remove the noise from the distorted image and then obtain the edge image. Proposed method extracts the distortion point, comparing the threshold value of the histogram of the horizontal and vertical pixel lines in edge image. This processing step can be directly applied to the original image of the wide angle CCD camera output. Proposed method results are compared with hand-worked result image using the two wide angle CCD cameras having different angles with the difference value of the result images respectively. Experimental results show that proposed method can allocate the distortion-calibration constant of the wide angle CCD camera regardless of lens type, distortion shape and image type.
