본 논문은 시점에 독립적인 제스처 인식을 위하여 볼륨 모션 템플릿을 제안한다. 기존 제스처 연구에서 시점 문제와 행동 속도의 편차는 중요하면서도 어려운 문제이다. 첫째, 시점 문제는 하나의 단안 카메라나 스테레오 카메라를 이용하는 단방향 카메라 환경에서 발생하며 해결하기 어려운 문제이다. 모든 시점에서 학습시켜야 하는 기존 연구의 단점을 해결하기 위해, 다양한 시점입력에 독립적으로 인식을 할 수 있는 볼륨 모션 템플릿을 제안한다. 볼륨 모션 템플릿은 깊이 정보와 모션의 방향성 통해 최적의 가상 시점을 제공한다. 또한 볼륨 모션 템플릿을 이용하여 시스템의 신뢰성과 확장성 또한 개선하였다. 두 번째, 제스처가 발생 시마다 생기는 속도의 편차 문제이다. 입력 제스처의 시간-정규화를 통해 해결할 수 있는데, 시간 정보 대신 모션 량을 사용하여 이를 해결하였다. 볼륨 모션 템플릿을 이용하여 다양한 시점 입력에 대해 실험하였고, 기존 모션 히스토리 이미지와 비교하여 시점에 독립적인 결과를 얻었다.

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.

It is very important for metaverse, mobile robot, and user location services to analyze the images continuously taken using a mobile smartphone or robot's monocular camera to estimate the camera's location. So far, PnP-related techniques have been applied to calculate the position. In this paper, the camera's moving direction is obtained using the essential matrix in the epipolar geometry applied to successive images, and the camera's continuous moving position is calculated through geometrical equations. A new estimation method was proposed, and its accuracy was verified through simulation. This method is completely different from the existing method and has a feature that it can be applied even if there is only one or more matching feature points in two or more images.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid stereoscopic camera system which acquires and utilizes stereoscopic images from two different camera modules, the main-camera module and the sub-camera module. Hybrid stereoscopic camera can effectively reduce the price and the size of a stereoscopic camera by using a relatively small and cheap sub-camera module such as a mobile phone camera. Images from the two different camera modules are very different from each other in aspects of color, angle of view, scale, resolution and so on. The proposed system performs an efficient hybrid stereoscopic image registration algorithm that transforms hybrid stereoscopic images into normal stereoscopic images based-on camera geometry. As experimental results, the registered stereoscopic images and applications of the proposed system are shown to demonstrate the performance and the functionality of the proposed camera system.

In this paper, we present a novel and practical stereo vision system that uses only one camera and four mirrors placed in front of the camera. The equivalent of a stereo pair of images are formed as left and right halves of a single CCD image by using four mirrors placed in front of the ten of a CCD camera. An object arbitrary point in 3D space is transformed into two virtual points by the four mirrors. As in the conventional stereo system, the displacement between the two conjugate image points of the two virtual points is directly related to the depth of the object point. This system has the following advantages over traditional two camera stereo that identical system parameters, easy calibration and easy acquisition of stereo data.

The technology of estimating a movement trajectory using a monocular camera such as a smartphone and composing a surrounding 3D image is key not only in indoor positioning but also in the metaverse service. The most important thing in this technique is to estimate the coordinates of the moving camera center. In this paper, a new algorithm for geometrically estimating the moving distance is proposed. The coordinates of the 3D object point are obtained from the first and second photos, and the movement distance vector is obtained using the matching feature points of the first and third photos. Then, while moving the coordinates of the origin of the third camera, a position where the 3D object point and the feature point of the third picture coincide is obtained. Its possibility and accuracy were verified by applying it to actual continuous image data.

Currently commercially available light field cameras are difficult to acquire 5D light field video since it can only acquire the still images or high price of the device. In order to solve these problems, we propose a deep learning based method for synthesizing the light field video from monocular video. To solve the problem of obtaining the light field video training data, we use UnrealCV to acquire synthetic light field data by realistic rendering of 3D graphic scene and use it for training. The proposed deep running framework synthesizes the light field video with each sub-aperture image (SAI) of $9{\times}9$ from the input monocular video. The proposed network consists of a network for predicting the appearance flow from the input image converted to the luminance image, and a network for predicting the optical flow between the adjacent light field video frames obtained from the appearance flow.

적은 연산으로 정확한 정합점을 추출한다는 것은 고전적인 스테레오비전의 가장 큰 단점이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 효과적인 정합점 검출 알고리듬이 많이 연구되고 있으나, 뚜렷한 해결 방법은 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 문제점들을 해결 할 수 있는 거울을 이용한 스테레오 비전 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 보다 저렴한 가격으로 스테레오 시스템을 구추할 수 있으며, 한 대의 카메라만을 사용하기 때문에 칼리브레이션 과정을 간략화 할 수 있다. 거울에 반사된 오른쪽과 왼쪽 영상은 거울의 각도에 의해서 동일 이미지 평면의 좌우에 촬상이 된다. 같은 이미지 평면에 촬상된 두 영상의 epipolar line은 x축과 평행한 scan line을 갖는다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템은 정합점을 추출하기 위한 epipolar 검출 알고리듬이 필요하지 않고 한 대의 카메라만을 사용하기 때문에 칼리브레이션 과정을 간략화 할 수 있다. 또한 동일한 이미지 평면에 오른쪽 이미지와 왼쪽 이미지가 촬상되기 때문에 두 영상의 명암도 차이를 보정하기 위한 정규화 작업도 필요하지 않다. 위와 같은 장점은 고전적인 스테레오 비전에서 발생되는 문제점들을 효과적으로 보완한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 시스템에 대한 프로토타입을 제작하여 실험하였으며, 그 결과를 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method of producing a stereoscopic image from multiple images captured from a monoscopic camera. By translating a camera in the horizontal direction, left and right images are chosen among N captured images. For this, image edges are extracted and a rotational angle is estimated from edge orientation. Also, a translational vector is also estimated from the correlation of projected image data. Then, two optimal images are chosen and subsequently compensated using the rotational angle as well as the translational vector in order to make a satisfactory stereoscopic image. The proposed method was performed on thirty-two test image set. The subjective visual fatigue test was carried out to validate the 3D quality of stereoscopic images. In terms of visual fatigue, the 3D satisfaction ratio reached approximately 84%.

The technology used to recognize the location and surroundings of autonomous vehicles is called SLAM. SLAM standsfor Simultaneously Localization and Mapping and hasrecently been actively utilized in research on autonomous vehicles,starting with robotic research. Expensive GPS, INS, LiDAR, RADAR, and Wheel Odometry allow precise magnetic positioning and mapping in centimeters. However, if it can secure similar accuracy as using cheaper Cameras and GPS data, it will contribute to advancing the era of autonomous driving. In this paper, we present a method for converging monocular camera with RTK-enabled GPS data to perform RMSE 33.7 cm localization and mapping on the urban road.
