Purpose: This study was performed to determine vertical fixation disparity by Fixation Disparity Card. The purpose of this study was to investigate distribution of the curve types obtained with Wesson card. Methods: Fixation disparity curves were measured on 52 subjects with the Wesson fixation disparity card. A fixation disparity curve was an x, y coordinate plot of the angular amount of fixation disparity as a function of the power of prisms through which the patient views. The fixation disparity curve variables that were used to aid in the diagnosis and management of binocular vision disorders included the x-intercept, y-intercept, curve slope and curve type.

A commonly used device to determine fixation disparity curves is the Wesson Fixation Disparity Card. A fixation disparity curve is an x, y coordinate plot of the angular amount of fixation disparity as a function of the power of prisms through which the patient views.

스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원 구조를 복원하기 위해서는 깊이맵에 해당하는 시차맵을 생성해야 한다. 시차맵 생성을 위해서는 정합비용을 계산하고, 집성한 후에 시차를 계산하는 절차로 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상으로부터 빠르고 안정된 시차맵을 생성하기 위해서 후처리 과정으로 각 스캔라인에 대해서 분산을 이용하여 세그멘테이션을 한 후에 세그멘테이션 별로 평균을 내어 객체간의 구분을 명확히 한다. 조밀 시차맵을 생성하기 위해서는 시차 계산에 실패한 화소들에 대해서도 시차를 계산해야 하는데 본 논문에서는 간단하게 인접 화소의 값을 복사하는 방법으로 홀을 메우는 방법을 제안한다. 실제 환경에서의 다양한 스테레오 영상에 대한 실험 결과들은 제안된 시차맵 생성과 홀을 메우는 방법이 기존의 시차맵 생성 기법만큼 빠르고 기존의 방법보다 좀더 안정적이고 다양한 컴퓨터 비전 시스템응용에 적용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

스테레오스코픽 3D 입체영상은 좌/우 영상의 시차(視差)를 이용하여 시청자로 하여금 2D 영상에서 느낄 수 없었던 가상의 입체감을 느낄 수 있도록 한다. 이러한 가상의 입체감은 주로 좌/우 영상의 수평시차를 통해서 구현되며, 수평시차의 많고 적음에 의하여 피사체의 원근(遠近)이 조절된다. 시차가 지나치게 작을 경우 3D 입체영상은 2D와 다를 바 없이 평면으로 보이거나, 피사체의 볼륨감이 사라져서 종이인형들이 단순히 층을 나뉘어서 배열된 것처럼 보이게 된다. 반대로 시차가 지나치게 클 경우 좌/우 영상은 하나로 융합되어 입체감을 형성하지 못하고 이중상으로 관측되게 된다. 이렇듯 3D 입체영상에서 수평시 차의 크기는 핵심적인 기능을 수행하고 있음에도, 프로그램 제작시 적절한 시차를 결정하는 판단기준이 부족하며 최대 시차에 대한 기준도 모호하여, 촬영자나 컴퓨터 그래픽스 작업자의 감(感)에 의하여 입체영상 콘텐츠 제작이 이루어지고 있어, 고품질 3D 영상 제작의 장애요인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 NPP(Native Pixel Parallax) 계산을 바탕으로 입체영상의 시차는 스크린 크기별로 달라질 수 있음을 살펴보고, 좌/우 영상의 시차가 가상깊이로 환산되는 과정을 분석하여, 3D 방송에 적합한 최대 시차를 제안하고자 한다.

Stereo vision is a fundamental method for measuring 3D structures by observing them from two cameras placed on different positions. In order to reconstruct 3D structures, it is necessary to create a disparity map from a pair of stereo images. To create a disparity map we compute the matching cost for each point correspondence and compute the disparity that minimizes the sum of the whole matching costs. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate a dense disparity map using region segmentation. We segment each scanline using region homogeneity properties. Using the segmented regions, we prohibit false matches in the stereo matching process. Disparities for pixels that failed in matching are filled by interpolating neighborhood disparities. We applied the proposed method to various stereo images of real environments. Experimental results showed that the proposed method is stable and potentially viable in practical applications.

Understanding of the length of time required to realize the return on the investment of informatization is important for policy makers and decision makers of information system adoption. Previous researchers, however, assessed this issue with the performance measurement approach that was primarily based on static point of view. However, the static analysis on the outcome of the informatization investment is limited in measuring the priori and ex ante effects of the informatization implementation on temporal basis. This study present a methodology to capture the outcome of the informatization investment on dynamic basis. This assessment was performed based on an e-government project in Korea, called "Industry Human Resource Project." Particularly, the study addressed how long it takes to obtain the benefit of WorkNet System, which was part of this Korean e-government project. We proposed various approaches to illustrate the importance and temporal effect of the WorkNet System by analyzing DB data, time reduction of WorkNet business processes and return of investment of IT.

In this paper, we propose new smoothing filters, i.e., occluding patterns that can accurately correct disparities of occluded areas in the estimated disparity map. An image is composed of several layers and each layer presents similar disparity. Furthermore, the distribution of the estimated disparities has a specific direction around the boundary of the occlusion, and this distribution presents the different direction with respect to the left- and the right-based disparity map. However, typical smoothing filters, such as mean filter and median filter, did not take into account those characteristic. So, they can decrease some error, but they cannot guarantee the accuracy of the corrected disparity. On the contrary, occluding patterns can accurately correct disparities of occluded areas because they consider both the characteristic that occlusion occurs and the characteristic that disparities of the occlusion are ranged, from estimated disparity maps with respect to the left and the right images. We made experiments on occluding patterns with some real stereo image set, and as a result, we can correct disparities of occluded areas more accurately than typical smoothing filters did.

일반적으로 국내 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 20ms나 25ms 시차를 가지는 지발발파로 시행되어지고 있다. 국외에서는 전자뇌관을 사용하여 암반의 지질학적인 특성에 따라 지발 시차를 사용자의 현장에 따라 선정하여, 주변 보안 물건에 따른 진동 및 소음을 경감하면서, 1회 발파의 생산량을 증대할 수 있으며, 2차 파쇄 비용 및 적재비용을 절감하는 최적의 시차를 적용하여 발파 규모를 줄이지 않는 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 해외에서 사용되고 있는 전자뇌관을 국내 현장 석회석 광산(단양)에 적용함으로 최적지연시차를 찾아내는 방법과 초시의 오차에 따른 문제점과 향후 국내 적용성을 판단하고자 하였다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 최적시차를 판단하고자 동일 패턴에서 시차를 6ms ~ 30ms로 시험발파를 시행하여 4가지 요소 발파진동속도, 주 주파수특성, 파쇄입도, 암석 이동 및 버력의 상태를 분석하여 각 시차에 따른 배점을 두어, 당 현장에 요구되는 개별 가중치를 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 당 현장에서의 발파결과에 따른 요소별 가중치를 발파진동속도(20), 주 주파수 특성(20), 파쇄입도(40), 암석 이동(10) 및 버력의 상태(10)로 하여 분석한 결과 15ms가 최적시차로 나타냈다. 향후 각 현장에 적합한 요소별 가중치를 선정하여 현장별 최적시차를 도출한다면 최적의 발파효과를 있을 것으로 판단된다.

R&D investment also has a gestation period similar to other investments in economics. The gestation period originates from time lag effect of input and output. Thus it is necessary to consider time lag effects when analyzing the relationship between firms' R&D investment and R&D performance. The main objective of this research is to estimate the length of time lag effect of R&D investment. The Almon distribution lag model was applied to estimate the time lag effect. The firm level panel dataset was established from 2002 to 2009. The net value of R&D investment and the number of patent applications were used to measure R&D input and output, respectively. This method found the estimated time lag to be 1~2 years across all datasets. The same analyses were applied to chemical, metal, electronic, exact science, and machinery industries' data. And we found there were differences among sectors in regard to the time lag effect.

Visual discomfort is a common problem in three-dimensional videos. Among the methods to overcome visual discomfort presented in current research, disparity adjustment methods provide little guidance in determining the condition for disparity control. We propose a diaprity adjustment based on the characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort, where the visual comfort level is used as the adjustment paramter, in parallax barrier type auto-stereoscopic 3D display. In this paper, we use the horizontal image shift method for disparity adjustment to enhance visual comfort. The speeded-up robust feature is used to estimate the disparity distribution of 3D sequences, and the required amount for disparity control is chosen based on the pre-defined characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we used a 3D equipment. Subjective tests were conducted at the fixed optimal viewing distance. The results show that comfortable videos were generated based on the proposed disparity adjustment method.
