In general, an ordinary CCTV camera has equipped with 24 frames per second. This camera is not capable of capturing an image of bullet trace which has speed about 1km per second. In spite of these difficulties, by means of the stereographical projection, a long distance trace is able to be contained in one image. Currently, to capture a series of image of an object with high speed, it is usual to use one of the complicated camera with high shutter speed or computerized devices with capability of controlling shutter timing with slightly different capture time. This paper proposed a monitoring tracer bullet single camera system equipped convex mirror trying to see whether or not a normal set of camera and convex mirror is capable of shooting on target located in as far as 250m.

In the case of failure images with controlling lighting like backlighting and excessive frontlinghting, the compensation scheme for a specific area in an image is required. The interested region is first selected by user in our method to compensate the first frame. Then we define the matching function of brightness and energy function is proposed with weight of matching function and the relationship among the neighbors. Finally, the energy is minimized by the graph-cut algorithm to compensate the brightness of the first frame. Other frames are straightforwardly compensated using the results of the first frame. The brightness variations of the previous frame is transmitted to the next frame via motion vectors. The reliability of the brightness variation is calculated based on the motion vector reliability. Video compensation result is achieved by the process of the image case. Simulation show that the proposed algorithm provides more natural results than the conventional algorithms.

The increased availability of portable, low-cost, high resolution video equipments have resulted in a rapid growth of the applications for video sequences. These video devices can be mounted in handhold unit, mobile unit and airborne platforms like maned or unmaned helicopter, plane, airship, etc. This paper describes the feasibility fur generating image map from the experimental results we designed to track the interested points extracted by KLT operator in the neighboring frames and implement image matching for each frames taken from UAV (Unmaned Aerial Vehicle). In the image registration for neighbourhood frames of aerial video, the results demonstrate the successful rate of matching slightly decreases as the drift between frames increases, and also that the stable photographing is more important matching condition than the pixel shift.

The tracking and analysis of cell activities in time-lapse sequences plays an important role in understanding complex biological processes such as the spread of the tumor, an invasion of the virus, the wound recovery and the cell division. For automatic tracking of cells, the tasks such as the cell detection at each frame, the investigation of the correspondence between cells in previous and current frames, the identification of the cell division and the recognition of new cells must be performed. This paper proposes an automatic cell tracking algorithm. In the first frame, the marker of each cell is extracted using the feature vector obtained by the analysis of cellular regions, and then the watershed algorithm is applied using the extracted markers to produce the cell segmentation. In subsequent frames, the segmentation results of the previous frame are incorporated in the segmentation process for the current frame. A combined criterion of geometric and intensity property of each cell region is used for the proper association between previous and current cells to obtain correct cell tracking. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the tracking performance compared to the tracking method in Cellprofiler (the software package for automatic analysis of bioimages).

Undesired camera shaking can make a blur effect, which causes a degradation of video quality. We propose an efficient method of removing the blur effects on video captured from a single camera. The proposed method has a sequential process that is applied to each frame. The first stage is to estimate the camera motion for each frame. In order to estimate the camera motion, we compute the optical flow using 3 consecutive frames. Then a patch-wise image deconvolution is applied. During the deconvolution, edge prediction is used to improve the quality of image deconvolution. After patch-wise image deconvolution, deblurred patches are integrated into an image to produce a deblurred frame. The above process is performed for each frame. The experimental result shows that the proposed method removes the blur effect efficiently.

The camera motion is accompanied with the translation and/or the rotation of objects in frames of a video sequence. An unnecessary rotation of objects declines the quality of the moving pictures and in addition is a primary cause of the viewers' fatigue. In this paper, a novel method for correcting rotated frames in video sequences is presented, where the modified Mojette transform is applied to the motion-compensated area in each frame. The Mojette transform is one of discrete Radon transforms, and is modified for correcting the rotated frames as follows. First, the bin values in the Mojette transform are determined by using pixels on the projection line and the interpolation of pixels adjacent to the line. Second, the bin values are calculated only at some area determined by the motion estimation between current and reference frames. Finally, only one bin at each projection is computed for reducing the amount of the calculation in the Mojette transform. Through the simulation carried out on various test video sequences, it is shown that the proposed scheme has good performance for correcting the rotation of frames in moving pictures.

Immersive 360-degree media has a problem of slowing down the video recognition speed when the video is processed by the conventional method using a variety of rendering methods, and the video size becomes larger with higher quality and extra-large volume than the existing video. In addition, in most cases, only one scene is captured by fixing the camera in a specific place due to the characteristics of the immersive 360-degree media, it is not necessary to extract feature information from all scenes. In this paper, we propose a reference frame selection method for immersive 360-degree media and describe its application process to copyright protection technology. In the proposed method, three pre-processing processes such as frame extraction of immersive 360 media, frame downsizing, and spherical form rendering are performed. In the rendering process, the video is divided into 16 frames and captured. In the central part where there is much object information, an object is extracted using an RGB vector per pixel and deep learning, and a reference frame is selected using object feature information.

As many different over-the-top (OTT) services become ubiquitous, demands for high-quality content are increasing. However, high dynamic range (HDR) contents, which can provide more realistic scenes, are still insufficient. In this regard, we propose a new HDR video reconstruction technique using multi-exposure low dynamic range (LDR) videos. First, we align a reference and its neighboring frames to compensate for motions between them. In the alignment stage, we perform content-based alignment to improve accuracy, and we also present a high-resolution (HR) module to enhance details. Then, we merge the aligned features to generate a final HDR frame. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods.

본 팀은 웹캠으로 촬영한 영상에서 원하는 물체를 선택하여 텍스처를 선택한 이미지의 스타일로 변환하는 프로젝트를 수행했다. 영상을 세그멘테이션하고 원하는 물체만을 원하는 텍스처로 변환하여 최종 아웃풋을 얻는다. 제안하는 네트워크는 물체를 다양한 스타일로 바꾸는 것이 가능한데, 이 중에서 이미지에 명화의 화풍을 입히는 것을 중점으로 하여 데모를 구현했다. 빠른 속도로 네트워크를 실행하기 위해 기존 연구들에 비디오 처리의 관점을 접목했다. 여러 프레임을 묶어 옵티컬 플로우를 생성하고, 첫 번째 프레임을 인스턴스 세그멘테이션한 후 마스크를 추출했다. 이후 마스크 영역만 뽑아낸 이미지를 새로운 입력으로 하여 스타일 트랜스퍼를 거치고, 이 첫번째 프레임과 나머지 프레임들의 옵티컬 플로우로 나머지 프레임들의 세그멘테이션과 스타일 트랜스퍼를 예측하여 다시 비디오 프레임으로 만들어 주었다. 본 알고리즘은 옵티컬 플로우 설정으로 네트워크의 계산량을 줄이며 속도를 개선했다. 빠른 데이터 처리로 사용자가 원하는 물체의 텍스쳐가 바뀔 수 있게 되었고, 이는 현실 세계가 실제로 바뀐 듯한 느낌을 들게 한다. 또한, 컴퓨터 비전에서 활발하게 연구되었던 분야를 AR로 끌어와 두 분야의 융합 가능성을 열었다. 현재 코로나의 영향으로 집에서 취미생활을 즐기는 인구가 많아졌다. 본 연구를 통해 많은 사람에게 집에서 쉽게 명화의 감성을 즐기고 느낄 수 있는 양질의 콘텐츠를 제공해주려 한다. 또한, 박물관과 미술관 등의 기관에서도 이 기술이 활용될 수 있다. 명화를 느낄 수 있는 다양한 콘텐츠를 이용하여 박물관이나 미술관의 홍보 효과도 기대할 수 있다.
