An optical method to measure the three-dimensional (3D) shape of a surface with specular reflection is proposed. The proposed method is based on the analysis of the geometric path of the light from a point source, and the relative displacements of points in the reflection image. The 3D shape of a concave mirror is shown to be determined approximately via experiments, where the vision system consists of LED array illumination, a half-mirror, and an imaging sensor.

In this paper, we propose an active 3D shape acquisition method based on photometric stereo using camera and flash on a smartphone. Two smartphones are used as the master and slave, in which the slave projects illumination from different locations while the master captures the images and processes photometric stereo algorithm to reconstruct 3D shape. In order to reduce the error, the smartphone's camera is calibrated to overcome the effect of the lens distortion and nonlinear camera sensor response. We apply 5-point algorithm to estimate the pose between smartphone cameras and then estimate lighting direction vector to run the photometric stereo algorithm. Experimental result shows that the proposed system enables us to use smartphone as a 3D camera with low cost and high quality.

본 연구에서는 근적외선대역의 광원을 이용하여 생체측정 시 에러로 작용하는 피하지방층의 두께를 추정하는 방법의 가능성에 대해 검토한다. 현재까지 피하지방층의 두께측정을 위해서는 초음파장비나 CT, Dexa 장비 등 고가의 장비로 측정을 하는방법 이외는 특별한 수단이 없는 것이 현실이다. 정확한 측정을 위해 피하지방층의 두께를 제거하는 것이 일반적인 연구의 목적이나 본 연구에서는 이들 피하지방 두께 측정을 최근 주목받고 있는 건강에 적용하고자 한다. 본 연구의 피하지방층의 두께추정방법의 가능성이 보여진다면 체지방측정에 있어 몸 전체의 체지방을 추측하는 방식인 BIA방식의 체지방측정방법과 비교하여 특정부위에 대한 피하지방층 측정도 가능할 것이라는 기대도 할 수 있다.

This paper presents a sensor fusion algorithm for the RC helicopter which uses a complementary filter. To measure the attitude angle of the helicopter, 3rate gyroscopes and a 3-axis accelerometer are mounted on the helicopter. The signals from them are passed though a complementary filter to produce estimation outputs. Experiments show that designed system is effective for the attitude estimation.

An optical arrangement has been set inside a photo-spectrometer to measure the reflectance of IR optics materials in mid IR range. The optical arrangement consists of equally spaced 4 gold coated full reflecting mirrors with the incidence angle of 45°. Baseline beam intensity I_B has been measured while the beam proceeds through the 4 mirrors. Reflectance of a mirror has been estimated from the I_B. And the beam intensity I_S with the specimen in the optical path has been measured with the 4th mirror replaced with the specimen. Reflectance of the specimen has been estimated from the value of I_S/I_B. Then the estimated reflectance has been put in Fresnel equation relating reflectance and refractive index(RI) to estimate the RI of the material. Measurement has been made for sapphire, germanium, magnesium fluoride, and zinc sulfide. The estimated RI of the materials are closely matching with reference data and the maximum difference less than 2% over the wavelength range 3-5㎛ for all materials tested. As an FT-IR photo-spectrometer with a broadband wavelength infrared light source is used, this method has the advantage of measuring the refractive index at multiple wavelengths in a single measurement.

This paper proposes an algorithm to reduce the estimation error of surface spectral-reflectance(SR) using a conventional 3-band RGB camera. In the proposed method, estimation error can be reduced by using adaptive principal components(PCs) for each color region. In order to build adaptive set of PCs, n SR populations are organized for n PC sets by using Lloyd quantizer design algorithm. Macbetch ColorCheckcer is utilized as initial representative SR values for 1485 Munsell color chips of total color population and the Munsell chips arc divided subsets and a set of corresponding adaptive PCs per each subset is organized. As a result of experiments, the proposed method showed advanced estimation performance compared to both the two 3-band PCA methods and the 5-band wiener method.

The images captured by digital still cameras or mobile phones are not always satisfactory because the devices have limited dynamic ranges compared with that of the real world. To cope with the problems, tone mapping function based methods and retinex theory based methods are studied. However, these methods generate a halo artifact or limited enhancement of global and local contrasts. The proposed method estimates illumination information used for image enhancement by optimizing a dynamic range of input image. The estimated illumination information has smoothness characteristic where the luminance is flat and does not have where the luminance changes to prevent the halo artifact. Additionally, the estimated illumination information and surrounding pixel values are considered when the tone mapping function is applied to overcome the limitations of the conventional tone mapping function approach. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods on objective and subjective criteria.

As a result of reducing color information and edge information, object distinction in haze image occurs with difficulty. One of the famous defogging algorithm is haze removal by using 'Dark Channel Prior(DCP)', which is used to predict for transmission rate using color information of an image and eliminates haze from the image. But, In case that haze rate is estimated under color information, there is a miscalculated issue which is posed by haze rate and transmission in area with high brightness such as a white object or a light source. In this paper, We deal with a miscalculated issue by correcting from around haze rate, after application of color normalization used by main white part of image haze. Moreover, We calculation improved transmission based on the result of improved haze rate estimation. And then haze image quality is developed through refining transmission.

본 연구의 목적은 객체의 형상정보(3D mesh)와 색/질감정보(image)를 이용하여 텍스쳐 맵핑된 고품질의 가상모델을 생성하는데 있다. 3 차원 형상정보에 대응하는 이미지 상의 텍스쳐 좌표 관계를 구하기 위해 오브젝트 좌표계와 카메라 좌표계 사이의 변환행렬, 카메라의 초점거리, 카메라 CCD 와 프레임상의 이미지 사이의 aspect ratio 를 파라미터로 하는 3D-2D 정합을 수행한다. 이러한 3D-2D 정합을 효율적으로 수행하기 위하여, 카메라 내부파라미터 검정단계, 신뢰도가 높은 초기해 설정단계, 비선형 최적화(Newton method) 단계로 접근한다. 또한, 색/질감정보로 이용되는 객체의 이미지는 촬영조건에 의해 스펙큘러(specular)나 이미지 픽셀값의 포화상태(saturation) 등의 결점을 포함한다. 영상내의 스펙큘러 좌표와 3D-2D 정합의 결과를 이용하여 촬영 당시의 광원을 추정하고, 근사화된 빛반사도 함수(BRDF)를 이용하여, 텍스쳐의 픽셀값 변조를 통해 이미지 촬영 당시의 광원효과가 제거된 디퓨즈 텍스쳐를 획득한다. 본 연구에서는 퐁(Phong)의 모델을 근사화한 빛 반사도 함수 모델로 사용하였다.
