2차원 의료 영상으로부터 3차원 모델을 재구성 하면 여러 의학 분야에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있다. 컬러 영상이나 MRI의 영상은 표면을 자동으로 식별하기 어렵기 때문에 구역화한 결과로 나오는 외곽선으로부터 표면을 재구성해야한다. 표면 재구성을 위한 기존의 삼각형화 알고리즘은 모델이 복잡할 경우 수행속도가 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 정합되는 부분과 나머지 부분을 따로 처리하는 기존 방법 대신에, 알맞은 위치에 연결간선들만 결정하여 연결한 후, 그 사이의 정점들을 연결하는 간단한 삼각형화 알고리즘으로 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a new approach to align 3D data sets by using curvatures of feature surface. We use the Gaussian curvatures and the covariance matrix which imply the physical characteristics of the model to achieve registration of unaligned 3D data sets. First, the physical characteristics of local area are obtained by the Gaussian curvature. And the camera position of 3D range finder system is calculated from by using the projection matrix between 3D data set and 2D image. Then, the physical characteristics of whole area are obtained by the covariance matrix of the model. The corresponding points can be found in the overlapping region with the cross-projection method and it concentrates by removed points of self-occlusion. By the repeatedly the process discussed above, we finally find corrected points of overlapping region and get the optimized registration result.

The recognition of current position and road surrounding of car is very important to driver for safe driving. This paper presents the recognition technique of the road traveling environment using position information hiding and viewpoint transform that monitors the information of road furniture and signature and notifies them to driver. The proposed scheme generates the road images into which the position information are hided, from car camera and GPS module and provides the road information to driver through the viewpoint transformation and the road signature detection. The driving tests with camera and GPS module verified that the position information hiding takes about 66.5ms per frame, the detection rate of road signature is about 95.83%, and the road signature detection takes about 227.45ms per frame. Therefore, we know that the proposed scheme can recognize the road traveling environment on the road video with 15 frame rate.

In this paper, a new fast detection and clutter rejection method is proposed for CCD-image-based Automatic Target Detection System. For defence application, fast computation is a critical point, thus we concentrated on the ability to detect various targets with simple computation. In training stage, 1D template set is generated by regional vertical projection and K-means clustering, and binary tree structure is adopted to reduce the number of template matching in test stage. We also use adaptive skip-width by Correlation-based Adaptive Predictive Search(CAPS) to further improve the detecting speed. In clutter rejection stage, we obtain Fourier Descriptor coefficients from boundary information, which are useful to rejected clutters.

Compact Advanced Satellite 500-4 (CAS500-4), which is scheduled to be launched in 2025, is a mid-resolution satellite with a 5 m resolution developed for wide-area agriculture and forest observation. To utilize satellite images, it is important to establish a precision sensor model and establish accurate geometric information. Previous research reported that a precision sensor model could be automatically established through the process of matching ground control point (GCP) chips and satellite images. Therefore, to improve the geometric accuracy of satellite images, it is necessary to improve the GCP chip matching performance. This paper proposes an improved GCP chip matching scheme for improved precision sensor modeling of mid-resolution satellite images. When using high-resolution GCP chips for matching against mid-resolution satellite images, there are two major issues: handling the resolution difference between GCP chips and satellite images and finding the optimal quantity of GCP chips. To solve these issues, this study compared and analyzed chip matching performances according to various satellite image upsampling factors and various number of chips. RapidEye images with a resolution of 5m were used as mid-resolution satellite images. GCP chips were prepared from aerial orthographic images with a resolution of 0.25 m and satellite orthogonal images with a resolution of 0.5 m. Accuracy analysis was performed using manually extracted reference points. Experiment results show that upsampling factor of two and three significantly improved sensor model accuracy. They also show that the accuracy was maintained with reduced number of GCP chips of around 100. The results of the study confirmed the possibility of applying high-resolution GCP chips for automated precision sensor modeling of mid-resolution satellite images with improved accuracy. It is expected that the results of this study can be used to establish a precise sensor model for CAS500-4.

In this paper, we propose an automatic image registration method for multi-sensor image fusion such as visible and infrared images. The registration is achieved by finding corresponding feature points in both input images. In general, the global statistical correlation is not guaranteed between multi-sensor images, which bring out difficulties on the image registration for multi-sensor images. To cope with this problem, mutual information is adopted to measure correspondence of features and to select faithful points. An update algorithm for projective transform is also proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides robust and accurate registration results.

본 논문에서는 비디오 데이터로부터 물체의 초기 움직임 영역을 자동으로 검출하는 방법을 소개한다. 제안하는 시스템은 먼저 입력 영상을 받아들인 후 인접된 영상으로부터 일정 크기의 정방향의 블록 단위로 움직임을 나타내는 모션 벡터를 추출한다. 그리고 추출된 모션벡터를 아웃라이어를 제거하는 강건 예측 알고리즘에 적용하여 배경에 해당하는 모션벡터와 잡음 및 움직이는 물체에 해당하는 모션벡터를 구분한다. 그런 다음, 군집화 알고리즘을 적용하여 이동하는 물체를 나타내는 모션벡터를 군집화하고, 군집화된 모션벡터에 해당하는 영역의 크기가 일정 수치 값 이상일 때 움직이는 물체가 감지되었다고 판단한다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 제안된 물체의 움직임 감지 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 성능이 보다 우수함을 보인다.

The accuracy of a real facial recognition system can be varied according to the accuracy of the eye detection algorithm when we design and implement a semi-automatic facial recognition algorithm depending on the eye position of a database. In this paper, a fully automatic facial recognition algorithm is proposed such that Gabor and LBP features are extracted from fiducial points of a face graph which was created by using fiducial points based on the eyes, nose, mouth and border lines of a face, fitted on the face image. In this algorithm, the recognition performance could be increased because a face graph can be fitted on a face image automatically and fiducial points based LPB features are implemented with the basic Gabor features. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in real-time recognition for more than 1,000 faces and produce good recognition performance for each data set.

In this paper, we describe gesture recognition algorithm using computer vision sensor and HMM. The automatic hand region extraction has been proposed for initializing the tracking of the tele-operation gestures. For this, distance informations(disparity map) as results of stereo matching of initial left and right images are employed to isolate the hand region from a scene. PDOE(positive difference of edges) feature images adapted here have been found to be robust against noise and background brightness. The KNU/KAERI(K/K) gesture instruction set is defined for tele-operation in atomic electric power stations. The composite recognition model constructed by concatenating three gesture instruction models including pre-orders, basic orders, and post-orders has been proposed and identified by discrete HMM. Our experimental results showed that consecutive orders composed of more than two ones are correctly recognized at the rate of above 97%.

It is estimated that, in the twenty-first century, 70％ of global citizens will live in urban areas. This accelerated urbanization will require a greater need for the building DEM and orthoimagery along with Geographic Information System for urban management. The building DEM requires the detection of outlines showing building shapes. To do this, automatic and semiautomatic building extractions are usually used. However, in cases where automatic extraction is performed directly from the aerial images, accurate building outline extraction is very difficult because of shadow, roof color, and neighboring trees making it hard to discern building roofs. To overcome this problem semiautomatic building extraction was suggested in this paper. When a roof texture was homogeneous, building outline detection was performed by mouse-clicking on a part of the roof. To construct the building outlines when the texture was not homogeneous, a computer program was developed to search out corner points by clicking spots near corner points. The building DEM was generated by taking into account building outlines and heights calculated by image matching.
