The fisheye image acquired with a fisheye camera has wider field of view than a general use camera. But large distortion of the object in the image requires conversion of the fisheye image to the perspective image because of user's difficult perception. The existing Ishii's method[1] has the problem that the object can has sire and geometrical distortion in the transformed image because it uses equidistance projection. This paper presented a conversion technique of the fisheye image to the perspective image using sealing function. In the experiments, it was shown that our method reduced size and geometrical distortion by applying the scaling function.

A realization for image distortion correction processing system with DSP processor is presented in this paper. The image distortion correcting algorithm is realized by DSP processor for focusing on more real time processing than image quality. The lens and camera distortion coefficients are processed by the Lookup Tables and the correcting algorithm is applied to reverse mapping method for geometrical transform. The system experimentation results in the processing time about 31.3 msec $720{\times}480$ wide range image, and the image is stable and spontaneous to be about 8.3% average PSNR variation with changing a wide angle.

The most recent, 80 mega pixels digital camera appeared through the development of digital technology, and nonmetric digital cameras have been using in various field of photogrammetry. In this study, we experimented lens calibration using aerial photographs and ground control points. The aerial photographs were taken a non-metric digital camera which is CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 21.1 mega pixels sensor and 35mm lens at a helicopter. And the ground control points were selected on the 1:1,000 plotting origin data. As a result, we calculated focal length, PPA(Principal Point of Autocollimation) and symmetric radial distortion coefficients from the lens. Also, RMSE(root mean square error) and maximum residual of the ground control points from the aerial triangulation were compared before and after calibration. And we found that the accuracy of the after calibration was improved very significantly.

Document images captured by scanners have only skewing distortion. But camera captured document images have not only skew but also vignetting effect and geometric distortion. Vignetting effect, which makes the border areas to be darker than the center of the image, make it difficult to separate characters from the document images. But this effect has being decreased, as the lens manufacturing skill is developed. Geometric distortion, occurred by the mismatch of angle and center position between the document image and the camera, make the shape of characters to be distorted, so that the character recognition is more difficult than the case of using scanner. In this paper, we propose a method that can increase the performance of character recognition by correcting the geometric distortion of document images using a linear approximation which changes the quadrilateral region to the rectangle one. The proposed method also determine the quadrilateral transform region automatically, using the alignment of character lines and the skewed angles of characters located in the edges of each character line. Proposed method, therefore, can correct the geometric distortion without getting positional information from camera.

In this paper, we propose the development of high resolution $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional IP camera with 12 million pixels. The proposed 12-megapixel high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional IP camera consists of a lens unit with $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional viewing angle and a 12-megapixel high-resolution IP camera unit. The lens section of $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional viewing angle adopts the isochronous lens design method and the catadioptric facet production method to obtain the image without peripheral distortion which is inevitably generated in the fisheye lens. The 12 megapixel high-resolution IP camera unit consists of a CMOS sensor & ISP unit, a DSP unit, and an I / O unit, and converts the image input to the camera into a digital image to perform image distortion correction, image correction and image compression And then transmits it to the NVR (Network Video Recorder). In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed 12-megapixel high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional IP camera, 12.3 million pixel image efficiency, $360^{\circ}$ omnidirectional lens angle of view, and electromagnetic certification standard were measured.

본 논문에서는 구간선형 모델을 적용하여 낮은 복잡도를 가지는 LSC(Lens-Shading Correction) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 각 화소와 렌즈 중심점으로부터 거리를 정수형으로 계산하고, 이 정수를 거리에 대한 LSC 이득값이 저장된 LUT(Look-Up Table)에 대한 주소로 적용하여, 입력 화소 값에 곱함으로써 LSC를 수행한다. 거리를 구하려면 제곱근 회로가 추가되어야 한다. LUT에 저장된 이득값은 원점으로부터의 거리에 대한 평균 이득값을 저장하고 있기 때문에, 제곱근 계산에 높은 정밀도를 할애하여도 LSC 보상된 영상의 화질에 미치는 영향은 높지 않으므로 정수형 제곱근 연산을 수행한다. 제곱근 계산은 구간 선형화하여 단지 덧셈과 쉬프트 연산만으로 제곱근 연산을 완료할 수 있도록 간략화 하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 양산 중인 일반 카메라 모듈에 적용한 결과, 카메라모듈 제조업체의 LSC 평가 기준을 상회하는 수준으로 나타나며, 구현될 하드웨어 복잡도가 매우 낮아서 모바일 카메라 구현에 매우 적합하다.

There are many research results about a self-localization technique of mobile robot. In this paper we present a self-localization technique based on the features of ceiling vision using a fisheye lens. The features obtained by SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) can be used to be matched between the previous image and the current image and then its optimal function is derived. The fisheye lens causes some distortion on its images naturally. So it must be calibrated by some algorithm. We here propose some methods for calibration of distorted images and design of a geometric fitness model. The proposed method is applied to laboratory and aile environment. We show its feasibility at some indoor environment.

RIn this research, digital elevation models, true-ortho image and 3-dimensional digital complied data was generated and evaluated using unmanned aircraft vehicle stereoscopic images by applying photogrammetric principles. In order to implement stereoscopic vision, digital Photogrammetric Workstation should be used necessarily. For conducting this, in this study GEOMAPPER 1.0 is used. That was developed by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. To realize stereoscopic vision using two overlapping images of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the interior and exterior orientation parameters should be calculated. Especially lens distortion of non-metric camera must be accurately compensated for stereoscope. In this work. photogrammetric orientation process was conducted using commercial Software, PhotoScan 1.4. Fixed wing KRobotics KD-2 was used for the acquisition of UAV images. True-ortho photo was generated and digital topographic map was partially produced. Finally, we presented error analysis on the generated digital complied map. As the results, it is confirmed that the production of digital terrain map with a scale 1:2,500~1:3,000 is available using stereoscope method.

볼록거울을 사용하여 CCTV시스템을 만들면 카메라 수를 줄이는 효과가 있다. 이 경우 볼록거울 영상은 휜 영상이므로 평면영상처럼 변환해야 한다. 이 경우에, 중앙에 비추인 영상은 평면 영상으로 변환 후에도 왜곡이 거의 없지만 거울의 테두리 부근에서 얻은 영상을 변환하면 왜곡이 심하게 나타나서 영상 내의 물체를 식별하기가 어려워진다. 렌즈의 초점이 거울의 중심부에 맞춰져 있기 때문에 변에 있는 영상은 픽셀들 사이에 겹침이 일어나기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 픽셀들 사이의 광학적 겹침을 극복하기 위해 확산 방정식의 후진대입 해를 사용하였다. 결과를 분석하기 위해 PSNR값을 조사하였더니 제안된 방법은 N. Moayeri의 방법보다 4 dB 정도 개선되었다.
