A fast and precise technique to measure 3-dimensional coordinates of an object is proposed. It is essential to take the 3-dimensional measurements of the object in design and inspection. Using this developed system a surface model of a complex shape can be constructed. 3-dimensional world coordinates are projected onto a camera plane by the perspective transformation, which plays an important role in this measurement system. According to the shape of the object two measuring methods are proposed. One is rotation of an object and the other is translation of measuring unit. Measuring speed depending on image processing time is obtained as 200 points per second. Measurement resolution i sexperimented by two parameters among others; the angle between the laser beam plane and the camera, and the distance between the camera and the object. As a result of these experiments, it was found that measurement resolution ranges from 0.3mm to 1.0mm. This constructed surface model could be used in manufacturing tools such as rapid prototyping machine.

This paper is concerned with the development and evaluation of the camera calibration method for a real-time head tracking system. Tracking of head movements is important in the design of an eye-controlled human/computer interface and the area of virtual environment. We proposed a video-based head tracking system. A camera was mounted on the subject's head and it took the front view containing eight 3-dimensional reference points(passive retr0-reflecting markers) fixed at the known position(computer monitor). The reference points were captured by image processing board. These points were used to calculate the position (3-dimensional) and orientation of the camera. A suitable camera calibration method for providing accurate extrinsic camera parameters was proposed. The method has three steps. In the first step, the image center was calibrated using the method of varying focal length. In the second step, the focal length and the scale factor were calibrated from the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) matrix obtained from the known position and orientation of the camera. In the third step, the position and orientation of the camera was calculated from the DLT matrix, using the calibrated intrinsic camera parameters. Experimental results showed that the average error of camera positions (3- dimensional) is about $0.53^{\circ}C$, the angular errors of camera orientations are less than $0.55^{\circ}C$and the data aquisition rate is about 10Hz. The results of this study can be applied to the tracking of head movements related to the eye-controlled human/computer interface and the virtual environment.

This paper presents a new method for reconstructing 3 dimensional object model using a zoom camera. The proposed method uses zoom images to find the distance(D) between camera and object. Also the method uses images obtained around the object to find an $angle(\theta)$ between two connected planes of the object. With the D and $\theta,$ we can reconstruct the real sized 3-D model of object with less errors without stereo camera or rangefinder.

This paper presents a camera calibration method using several images for three dimensional measurement applications such as stereo systems, mobile robots, and visual inspection systems in factories. Conventional calibration methods that use single image suffer from errors related to reference point extraction in image, lens distortion, and numerical analysis of nonlinear optimization. The camera parameter values obtained from images of same camera is not same even though we use same calibration method. The camera parameters that are obtained from several images of different view for a calibration target is usaully not same with large error values and we can not assume a special probabilistic distribution when we estimate the parameter values. In this paper, the median value of camera parameters from several images is used to improve estimation of the camera values in an iterative step with nonlinear optimization. The proposed method is proved by experiments using real images.

본 논문은 스테레오 카메라론 사용하여 실내 환경의 3차원 복원하는 방법에 대하여 말하고 있다. 일반적으로 3차원 데이터를 추출하는 방법에는 3가지가 있는데, 초음파 센서를 사용하는 방법, 레이저 센서를 사용하는 방법, 그리고 스테레오 카메라론 사용하는 방법을 들 수 있다. 이중 스테레오 카메라는 적당한 가격으로 높은 성능을 낼 수 있는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 카메라론 사용하여 3차원 데이터를 추출하는 방법으로 Window Correlation Matching Method를 사용하였다. 스테레오 카메라를 사용하여 3차원 데이터를 우울할 때 가장 큰 문제인 정확하지 않은 데이터들에 대한 처리를 하기 위하여 Histogram Weighted Hough Transform이라는 방법을 제시하였다. 이렇게 하여 각 Step에 추출된 데이터에서 오차를 많이 줄일 수 있었기 때문에 복원이 더욱 잘 되도록 만들 수 있었으며, 3차원 복원에 DirectX를 사용하여 보다 현실감이 있도록 하였다. 본 논문은 기존에는 3차원 복원다는 3차원 데이터추출에 집중되었던 스테레오 카메라를 3차원 복원에 사용할 수 있다는 것을 보여주었으며, 오차를 줄이기 위해 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하려고 노력하였다.

Camera arrangement for depth and image correspondence is very important to the computer vision. Two conventional comera arrangements for stereo computer vision are lateral model and axial motion model. In this paper, using the axial motion stereo camera model, the algorithm for camera focal length measurement and the surface smoothness with the radiance-irradiance is proposed fro 3-dimensional image correspondence on stereo computer vision. By adapting the above algorithm, camera focal length can be measured precisely and the resolution of 3-dimensional image correspondence has been improved comparing to that of the axial motion model without the radiance-irradiance relation.

Single-Camera Stereoscopic Vision three-dimensional measurement system has been developed based upon 30-PTV algorithm. The system consists of one camera $(1k\times1k)$ and a host computer. To attain three-dimensional measurements a plate having stereo holes has been installed inside of the lens system. Three-dimensional measurements was successfully attained by adopting the conventional 30-PTV camera calibration methods. As applications of the constructed measurement system, a water droplet mixed with alcohol was constructed on a transparent plastic plate with the contacted fluid diameter 4mm, and the particles motions inside of the droplet have been investigated with the constructed measurement system. The measurement uncertainty of the constructed system was 0.04mm, 0.04mm and 0.09mm for X, Y and Z coordinates.

Information technology advances are allowing conventional surveillance systems to be combined with mobile communication technologies, creating ubiquitous monitoring systems. This paper proposes monitoring system that uses smart camera technology. We discuss the dependence of interior orientation parameters on calibration target sheets and compare the accuracy of a three-dimensional monitoring system with camera location calculated by space resectioning using a Digital Surface Model (DSM) generated from stereo images. A monitoring housing is designed to protect a camera from various weather conditions and to provide the camera for power generated from solar panel. A smart camera is installed in the monitoring housing. The smart camera is operated and controlled through an Android application. At last the accuracy of a three-dimensional monitoring system is evaluated using a DSM. The proposed system was then tested against a DSM created from ground control points determined by Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) and light detection and ranging data. The standard deviation of the differences between DSMs are less than 0.12 m. Therefore the monitoring system is appropriate for extracting the information of objects' position and deformation as well as monitoring them. Through incorporation of components, such as camera housing, a solar power supply, the smart camera the system can be used as a ubiquitous monitoring system.

In stereo vision, camera modeling is very important because the accuracy of the three dimensional locations depends considerably on it. In the existing stereo camera models, two camera planes are located in the same plane or on the optical axis. These camera models cannot be used in the active vision system where it is necessary to obtain two stereo images simultaneously. In this paper, we propose four kinds of stereo camera models for active stereo vision system where focal lengths of the two cameras are different and each camera is able to rotate independently. A single closed form solution is obtained for all models. The influence of the stereo camera model to the field of view, occlusion, and search area used for matching is shown in this paper. And errors due to inaccurate focal length are analyzed and simulation results are shown. It is expected that the three dimensional locations of objects are determined in real time by applying proposed stereo camera models to the active stereo vision system, such as a mobile robot.
