본 논문에서는 분할 영상 좌보계 (split image coordinate: SIC)를 제안하여 3차원 영상의 주요 특징 중의 하나인 유, 무한 소실점을 그 위치의 무한성이나 카메라의 보정과 관계없이 정확하게 자동 추출하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 가우시안 구 (Gaussian sphere) 기반의 기존 방법들과는 달리 영상 공간을 누적 공간으로 활용함으로써 카메라 보정이나 영상의 사전정보가 없어도 원 영상의 정보 손실 없이 소실점을 추출할 수 있고, 영상을 무한대까지 확장한 후 분할하여 재정의 함으로써 유, 무한 소실점을 모두 추출할 수 있도록 하였다. 정확한 소실점의 검출을 위하여 직선 검출 과정에서는 방향성 마스크 (mask)를 사용하였으며, 직선들의 군집화 (clustering) 과정에서는 기울기 히스토그램 방법과 수평/수직 군집화 방법을 적응적으로 적용하였다. 제안한 방법을 합성 영상 및 건축물 (man-made environment) 영상에 적용시켜 유, 무한 소실점들을 효과적이고 정확하게 찾을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Due to the fact that fisheye lens can provide super wide angles with the minimum number of cameras, field-of-view over 180 degrees, many vehicles are attempting to mount the camera system. Not only use the camera as a viewing system, but also as a camera sensor, camera calibration should be preceded, and geometrical correction on the radial distortion is needed to provide the images for the driver's assistance. In this thesis, we introduce a geometric correction technique to minimize the loss of the image data from a vehicle fish-eye lens having a field of view over $180^{\circ}$, and a asymmetric distortion. Geometric correction is a process in which a camera model with a distortion model is established, and then a corrected view is generated after camera parameters are calculated through a calibration process. First, the FOV model to imitate a asymmetric distortion configuration is used as the distortion model. Then, we need to unify the axis ratio because a horizontal view of the vehicle fish-eye lens is asymmetrically wide for the driver, and estimate the parameters by applying a non-linear optimization algorithm. Finally, we create a corrected view by a backward mapping, and provide a function to optimize the ratio for the horizontal and vertical axes. This minimizes image data loss and improves the visual perception when the input image is undistorted through a perspective projection.

본 논문에서는 차량 영상의 수평 및 수직 명암 값 변화 정보를 이용하여 번호판 영역을 추출하고 원형 패턴 벡터를 이용하여 번호판 내용을 인식하는 알고리즘에 관해 기술하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 번호판 영역에서 문자와 배경이 뚜렷하게 구별되고, 일정한 명암도 변화를 가지면서 다른 영역보다 밀집도가 높다는 특성을 이용하여 수평 및 수직 명암도 변화값을 구하여 차량영상에서 번호판 영역을 추출하며 상당히 어둡거나 밝게 입력된 영상에도 동일한 인식 성능을 얻기 위하여 밝기 보정을 수행한다. 또한, 입력 문자의 크기, 이동 및 회전에 무관한 특성을 추출을 위해 원형 패턴 벡터를 이용하여 차량 번호를 인식하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법들을 적용한 결과 계산 속도가 훨씬 빠르며, 차량 번호판의 크기에 관계없이, 또한 잡음에 크게 영향을 받지 않으면서 번호판 추출이 정확하여 실시간 처리의 가능성을 제시하였을 뿐만 아니라 번호판 영역이 불투명하거나 불규칙한 조명 상태에서도 검출이 가능하였다.

Variation of the observer's viewing position is one of the major causes of image space distortion in the stereoscopic display. Especially, a large image distortion, which is caused by different depth direction positions of the observer's two eyes, is made by the observer's rotation movement in relation to the center of the screen. This is different from distortion of horizontal and depth directional movement of the observer. In this paper, we analyzed distortion of the image space due to the observer's rotation movement and showed the corrected result of distortion through simulation in the stereoscopic display. Finally, we showed that the distortion shape of the observer's rotation movement is different from horizontal and depth directional movement of the observer.

This paper presents the auto-extraction method that searches for the Mapping points in the calibration algorithm of the image acquired by the wide angle CCD camera. In this algorithm, we remove the noise from the distorted image and then obtain the edge image. Proposed method extracts the distortion point, comparing the threshold value of the histogram of the horizontal and vertical pixel lines in edge image. This processing step can be directly applied to the original image of the wide angle CCD camera output. Proposed method results are compared with hand-worked result image using the two wide angle CCD cameras having different angles with the difference value of the result images respectively. Experimental results show that proposed method can allocate the distortion-calibration constant of the wide angle CCD camera regardless of lens type, distortion shape and image type.

The phase-screen and the split-step Fourier migrations, which are implemented in both the frequency-wavenumber and frequency-space domains by using one-way scalar wave equation, allow imaging in laterally heterogeneous media with less computing time and efficiency. The generalized-screen migration employs the series expansion of the exponential, unlike the phase-screen and the split-step Fourier migrations which assume the vertical propagation in frequency-wavenumber domain. In addition, since the generalized-screen migration generalizes the series expansion of the vertical slowness, it can utilize higher-order terms of that series expansion. As a result, the generalized-screen migration has higher accuracy in computing the propagation with wide angles than the phase-screen and split-step Fourier migrations for media with large and rapid lateral velocity variations. In this study, we developed a 2D prestack generalized-screen migration module for imaging a complex subsurface efficiently, which includes various dips and large lateral variations. We compared the generalized-screen propagator with the phase-screen propagator for a constant perturbation model and the SEG/EAGE salt dome model. The generalized-screen propagator was more accurate than the phase-screen propagator in computing the propagation with wide angles. Furthermore, the more the higher-order terms were added for the generalized-screen propagator, the more the accuracy was increased. Finally, we compared the results of the generalizedscreen migration with those of the phase-screen migration for a model which included various dips and large lateral velocity variations and the synthetic data of the SEG/EAGE salt dome model. In the generalized-screen migration section, reflectors were positioned more accurately than in the phase-screen migration section.

This study focuses on the correction of topographic effects caused by a combination of solar elevation and azimuth, and topographic relief in single optical remote sensing imagery, and by a combination of changes in position of the sun and topographic relief in comparative analysis of multi-temporal imageries. For the Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, where Mt. Halla and various cinder cones are located, a Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery and ASTER GDEM data were used to normalize the topographic effects on the imagery, using two topographic normalization methods: cosine correction assuming a Lambertian condition and assuming a non-Lambertian c-correction, with kernel sizes of $3{\times}3$, $5{\times}5$, $7{\times}7$, and $9{\times}9$ pixels. The effects of each correction method and kernel size were then evaluated. The c-correction with a kernel size of $7{\times}7$ produced the best result in the case of a land area with various land-cover types. For a land-cover type of forest extracted from an unsupervised classification result using the ISODATA method, the c-correction with a kernel size of $9{\times}9$ produced the best result, and this topographic normalization for a single land cover type yielded better compensation for topographic effects than in the case of an area with various land-cover types. In applying the relative radiometric normalization to topographically normalized three multi-temporal imageries, more invariant spectral reflectance was obtained for infrared bands and the spectral reflectance patterns were preserved in visible bands, compared with un-normalized imageries. The results show that c-correction considering the remaining reflectance energy from adjacent topography or imperfect atmospheric correction yielded superior normalization results than cosine correction. The normalization results were also improved by increasing the kernel size to compensate for vertical and horizontal errors, and for displacement between satellite imagery and ASTER GDEM.

최근들어 광범위한 지역의 삼차원 국토정보 취득을 위한 고해상도 위성영상의 센서모형화 기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. IKONOS나 SPOT 5호와 같은 고해상도 위성영상의 모형화에 앞서 본 연구에서는 각종 응용분야에서 광범위하게 활용되고 있는 SPOT 3호 위성영상을 대상으로 지상기준점을 이용하여 경사촬영(off-nadir viewing)각을 추정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 추정된 경사촬영각은 영상좌표를 보정하는데 사용되었으며 2차원 부등각사상변환을 이용하여 기존의 모형화 방법 보다 간결하고 정확도가 향상된 모형화 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 기존의 엄밀 센서 모형화 방법을 대체하고 있는 위성영상의 센서모형화를 위한 다양한 방법들이 제안되고 있기 때문에, 2차원 부등각사상변환, 직접선형변환(DLT), 자체검정-DLT(SDLT)등의 추상화된 모형화 방법을 SPOT 위성영상에 대해 기준점 수의 변화에 따라 검사점을 이용하여 수평성분, 수직성분으로 나누어 정확도를 비교 분석하였다.
