The stability of object tracking in non-stationary camera environment, such as intelligent surveillance system using a pan/tilt camera, is less stable compared with stationary camera environment. This is due to the fact that it is difficult to model a background image in non-stationary environment. In this letter, we propose a non-stationay pan/tilt camera surveillance system which uses a stop/go procedure together with a real-time active contour. The proposed system can track the object stable even in an environment where only a few difference frames can be obtained.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient camera operating scheme to save energy which can be used for mass surveillance cameras. This technique determines how many cameras should be turned on in the consideration of the velocity vector of monitoring targets, which is acquired by DSRC object tracking, the model of the specification of installed cameras, and the road model of installed sites. Also, we address other techniques used to save energy for the surveillance system as well. Throughout performance evaluation, we demonstrate the excellence of our proposed scheme compared with previous approaches.

This paper introduces a mobile augmented visualization technology that augments a three-dimensional virtual human body on a mannequin model using two pose(position and rotation) tracking sensors. The conventional camera tracking technology used for augmented visualization has the disadvantage of failing to calculate the camera pose when the camera shakes or moves quickly because it uses the camera image, but using a pose tracking sensor can overcome this disadvantage. Also, even if the position of the mannequin is changed or rotated, augmented visualization is possible using the data of the pose tracking sensor attached to the mannequin, and above all there is no load for camera tracking.

In this paper, we study how objects from front and back cameras can be recognized in real time in a mobile environment to segment regions of object pixels and synthesize them through image processing. To this work, we applied DeepLabV3 machine learning model to dual cameras provided by Apple's iOS. We also propose methods using Core Image and Core Graphics libraries from Apple for image synthesis and postprocessing. Furthermore, we improved CPU usage than previous works and compared the throughput rates and results of Depth and DeepLabV3. Finally, We also developed a camera application using these two methods.

This paper proposes a method for estimating the illuminant chromaticity using the distributions of the camera responses obtained by a CCD camera in a real-world scene. Illuminant estimation using a highlight method is based on the geometric relation between a body and its surface reflection. In general, the pixels in a highlight region are affected by an illuminant geometric difference, camera quantization errors, and the non-uniformity of the CCD sensor. As such, this leads to inaccurate results if an illuminant is estimated using the pixels of a CCD camera without any preprocessing. Accordingly, to solve this problem the proposed method analyzes the distribution of the CCD camera responses and selects pixels using the Mahalanobis distance in highlight regions. The use of the Mahalanobis distance based on the camera responses enables the adaptive selection of valid pixels among the pixels distributed in the highlight regions. Lines are then determined based on the selected pixels with r-g chromaticity coordinates using a principal component analysis(PCA). Thereafter, the illuminant chromaticity is estimated based on the intersection points of the lines. Experimental results using the proposed method demonstrated a reduced estimation error compared with the conventional method.

This case study is based on a fundamental class actually done in the film and video department in Sungkyul University. It aimed at suggesting supportive role for typical film production class in universities in Korea. The list of film styles mentioned in this text is selected from the actual ones for the class and it is focused on utilization of sound and camera. It is ultimately designed to guide students to actual making films. First of all, for example, with a humble camcoder, students are encouraged to record both image and his/her narration which is directly recorded into the built-in microphone. Also directional microphone could be used to experience various positions of 'point-of-hearing'. Regarding camera movements, only distinctive ones out of typical utilization are selected to be dealt with. The movements created by moving vehicle such as dolly or crane beyond the limit of human ability could bring up high imagination of students on movement, besides this could be also easily applied to them for using hand-held technique instead of vehicle. This attitude acquired through the course is important for gettig over the resistance they might have before actual experiencing machinary use in production.

Since the omnidirectional camera system with a very large field of view could take many information about environment scene from few images, various researches for calibration and 3D reconstruction using omnidirectional image have been presented actively. Most of line segments of man-made objects we projected to the contours by using the omnidirectional camera model. Therefore, the corresponding contours among images sequences would be useful for computing the camera transformations including rotation and translation. This paper presents a novel two step minimization method to estimate the extrinsic parameters of the camera from the corresponding contours. In the first step, coarse camera parameters are estimated by minimizing an angular error function between epipolar planes and back-projected vectors from each corresponding point. Then we can compute the final parameters minimizing a distance error of the projected contours and the actual contours. Simulation results on the synthetic and real images demonstrated that our algorithm can achieve precise contour matching and camera motion estimation.

본 논문에서는 센서 융합과 배경 추정 기법을 이용하여 연속된 영상에서 물체 영역을 검출하는 기법을 제안하였다. IR/CCD각각의 카메라로부터 얻은 입력 영상을 정렬하고 융합하는 과정을 거친 후, 각 화소 단위의 배경 모델을 추정하고 시간이 지남에 따라 이를 갱신함으로써 물체 영역을 효과적으로 검출하는 기법을 제시하고 있다. 실험은 차량을 대상으로 하였고, 카메라가 움직이는 상황과 비교적 복잡한 환경에서도 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술을 이용한 응용분야가 증가함에 따라 물체의 사실적인 모델에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있다. 모델링 시간이 많이 필요한 기존의 3차원 모델링 툴 외에 최근에 사용자의 스케치에 기반한 모델링 방법과 영상기반 모델링, 3차원 스캐너가 발표되었지만, 정확성이 떨어지거나 고가의 장비를 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 정육면체 프레임과 광평면(light plane) 프로젝터, 카메라를 이용한 물체의 3차원 구조 복원 시스템을 제안하고, 실험을 통하여 모델링의 정확도를 분석한다.
