The visibility deteriorates in hazy weather and it is difficult to accurately recognize information captured by the camera. Research is being actively conducted to remove haze so that camera-based applications such as object localization/detection and lane recognition can operate normally even in hazy weather. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear model for depth map estimation through an extensive analysis that the difference between brightness and saturation in hazy image increases non-linearly with the depth of the image. The quantitative evaluation(MSE, SSIM, TMQI) shows that the proposed haze removal method based on the nonlinear model is superior to other state-of-the-art methods.

As the use of computer has been popularized these days, an active research is in progress to make much more convenient and natural interface compared to the existing user interfaces such as keyboard or mouse. For this reason, there is an increasing interest toward Microsoft's motion sensing module called Kinect, which can perform hand motions and speech recognition system in order to realize communication between people. Kinect uses its built-in sensor to recognize the main joint movements and depth of the body. It can also provide a simple speech recognition through the built-in microphone. In this paper, the goal is to use Kinect's depth value data, skeleton tracking and labeling algorithm to recognize information about the extraction and movement of hand, and replace the role of existing peripherals using a virtual mouse, a virtual keyboard, and a speech recognition.

3차원 물체의 탐지와 자세 추정은 실내외 환경에서 장면 이해, 로봇의 물체 조작 작업, 자율 주행, 증강 현실 등과 같은 다양한 응용 분야들에서 공통적으로 요구되는 매우 중요한 시각 인식 기술이다. 깊이 지도를 요구하는 기존 연구들과는 달리, 본 논문에서는 RGB 컬러 영상만을 이용해 미지의 물체들, 즉 3차원 CAD 모델을 가지고 있지 않은 새로운 물체들을 탐지해내고, 이들의 자세를 추정해낼 수 있는 새로운 신경망 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델에서는 최근 빠른 속도로 발전하고 있는 깊이 추정 기술을 이용함으로써, 깊이 측정 센서 없이도 물체 자세 추정에 필요한 깊이 지도를 컬러 영상에서 구해낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 벤치마크 데이터 집합을 이용한 실험을 통해, 제안 모델의 유용성을 평가한다.

Various events of stop, playback, capture, and zoom-in/out in playing video is available in the monitor of a small size such as smart phones. However, if the size of the display increases, then the cost of the touch recognition is increased, thus provision of a touch event is not possible in practice. In this paper, we propose a video event control system that recognizes a touch inexpensively from the depth information, then provides the variety of events of the toggle, the pinch-in / out by the single or multi-touch. The proposed method finds a touch location and the touch path by the depth information from a depth camera, and determines the touch gesture type. This touch interface algorithm is implemented in a small single-board system, and can control the video event by sending the gesture information through the UART communication. Simulation results show that the proposed depth touch method can control the various events in a large screen.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상과 깊이 영상으로부터 영상 전체의 정보를 활용하는 형판 정합 방법으로 특징을 추출하여, 사물의 속성을 인식하는 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 입력 영상으로부터 더 많은 정보를 얻기 위해 컬러 영상과 깊이 영상을 함께 사용하였다. 그리고 영상의 부분적인 정보가 아닌 전체 정보를 활용하는 형판 정합 방법을 사용하여 속성 인식률을 향상 시켰다. 본 시스템의 성능을 확인하기 위해 워싱턴 대학에서 제공하는 RGB-D 데이터 집합을 이용하여 다른 특징들 및 분류기와 비교실험을 진행하였고, 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템의 높은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Hand shape recognition is a fundamental technique for implementing natural human-computer interaction. In this paper, we discuss a method for effectively detecting a hand region in Kinect-based hand shape recognition. Since Kinect is a camera that can capture color images and infrared images (or depth images) together, both images can be exploited for the process of detecting a hand region. That is, a hand region can be detected by finding pixels having skin colors or by finding pixels having a specific depth. Therefore, after analyzing the performance of each, we need a method of properly combining both to clearly extract the silhouette of hand region. This is because the hand shape recognition rate depends on the fineness of detected silhouette. Finally, through comparison of hand shape recognition rates resulted from different hand region detection methods in general environments, we propose a high-performance hand region detection method.

A new practical implementation of a facial verification system using cumulative histogram of surface curvatures for the local and contour line areas is proposed, in this paper. The approach works by finding the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face. In feature recognition of 3D face images, one has to take into consideration the orientated frontal posture to normalize after extracting face area from the original image. The feature vectors are extracted by using the cumulative histogram which is calculated from the curvature of surface for the contour line areas: 20, 30 and 40, and nose, mouth and eyes regions, which has depth and surface characteristic information. The L1 measure for comparing two feature vectors were used, because it was simple and robust. In the experimental results, the maximum curvature achieved recognition rate of 96% among the proposed methods.

Recently, we used to recognize for human motions with some recognition algorithms. examples, HMM, DTW, PCA etc. In many human motions, we concentrated our research on recognizing fighting motions. In previous work, to obtain the fighting motion data, we used motion capture system which is developed with some active markers and infrared rays cameras and 3 dimension information converting algorithms by the stereo matching method. In this paper, we describe that the different method to acquiring 3 dimension fighting motion data and a HMM algorithm to recognize the data. One of the obtaining 3d data we used is depth map algorithm which is calculated by a stereo method. We test the 3d acquiring and the motion recognition system, and show the results of accuracy and performance results.
