In this paper, we propose a color correction technique for images acquired through a multi-view camera system for acquiring a 3D model. It is assumed that the 3D volume is captured indoors, and the position and intensity of the light is constant over time. 8 multi-view cameras are used, and converging toward the center of the space, so even if the lighting is constant, the intensity and angle of light entering each camera may be different. Therefore, a color optimization function is applied to a color correction chart taken from all cameras, and a color conversion matrix defining a relationship between the obtained 8 images is calculated. Using this, the images of all cameras are corrected based on the standard color correction chart. This paper proposed a color correction method to minimize the color difference between cameras when acquiring an image using 8 cameras of 3D objects, and experimentally proved that the color difference between images is reduced when it is restored to a 3D image.

Recently, as the number of people using Smartphones increased, several researches has been launched basing it's subject on this issue. In this circumstance, the fusion of sensor technologies and Smartphone offers a variety of functions. The system introduced in the current paper uses a controller which extracts information about accelerating movements of an user. This information is then sent to the Smartphone through Bluetooth communication. The input method proposed in this paper differs from the existing methods such as touch typing or button input in Smartphones. It rather uses the 3-D acceleration sensor which enables users to control their Smartphone anywhere and anytime without directly touching the device. Furthermore, because it is developed for various applications, it can be applied in many different fields.

This paper presents the delta image composition methods using Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) for 3D stereoscopic broadcasting for the low bandwidth mobile DMB broadcasting system. With DIBR, a left and depth images are transmitted to a mobile device, which restores the right view, whose quality may be poor. This paper describes delta image composition methods for the restoration while minimizing the amount of the transmitted data.

The technology of estimating a movement trajectory using a monocular camera such as a smartphone and composing a surrounding 3D image is key not only in indoor positioning but also in the metaverse service. The most important thing in this technique is to estimate the coordinates of the moving camera center. In this paper, a new algorithm for geometrically estimating the moving distance is proposed. The coordinates of the 3D object point are obtained from the first and second photos, and the movement distance vector is obtained using the matching feature points of the first and third photos. Then, while moving the coordinates of the origin of the third camera, a position where the 3D object point and the feature point of the third picture coincide is obtained. Its possibility and accuracy were verified by applying it to actual continuous image data.

영상의 깊이 정보를 추출하는 것은 매우 어려운 연구이다. 다양한 유형의 영상 구조의 분석이 필요하지만 많은 경우에 주관적인 판단의 도움이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 로스 텍스처 필터를 기반으로 정지 영상의 깊이를 자동으로 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 로스 텍스처 필터는 단안 비전에서 3D 깊이를 얻기 위한 방법으로 활용되었는데, 실제 2D 영상에서 깊이를 예측하기 위해 텍스처 편차, 텍스처 기울기, 색상 등을 활용한다. 로스 필터는 $1{\times}5$ 벡터로부터 콘볼루션을 이용하여, 20여개의 $5{\times}5$ 콘볼루션 필터가 구해지는데, 영상에 필터를 적용하여 로스 에너지를 계산한다. 구해진 에너지를 깊이 맵으로 변환하고, 깊이 맵에서 특징 점을 구하고, 특징 점들로부터 델러노이 삼각화를 이용하여 삼각형 깊이 메쉬를 얻는다. 구해진 깊이 맵의 성능을 측정하기 위해 카메라 시점을 변경하면서 영상의 3D 구조를 분석하였으며, 입체영상을 생성하여 3D 입체 시청 결과를 분석하였다. 실험에서는 로스 텍스처 필터를 이용하는 깊이 생성 방법이 좋은 효과를 얻는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method to estimate pointing region in real-world from images of cameras. In general, arm-pointing gesture encodes a direction which extends from user's fingertip to target point. In the proposed work, we assume that the pointing ray can be approximated to a straight line which passes through user's face and fingertip. Therefore, the proposed method extracts two end points for the estimation of pointing direction; one from the user's face and another from the user's fingertip region. Then, the pointing direction and its target region are estimated based on the 2D-3D projective mapping between camera images and real-world scene. In order to demonstrate an application of the proposed method, we constructed an ICGS (interactive cinema guiding system) which employs two CCD cameras and a monitor. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are also verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences.

This paper provides a method for video augmentation using image interpolation. In computer graphics or augmented reality, 3D information of a model object is necessary to generate 2D views of the model, which are then inserted into or overlayed on environmental views or real video frames. However, we do not require any three dimensional model but images of the model object at some locations to render views according to the motion of video camera which is calculated by an SFM algorithm using point matches under weak-perspective (scaled-orthographic) projection model. Thus, a linear view interpolation algorithm is applied rather than a 3D ray-tracing method to get a view of the model at different viewpoints from model views. In order to get novel views in a way that agrees with the camera motion the camera coordinate system is embedded into model coordinate system at initialization time on the basis of 3D information recovered from video images and model views, respectively. During the sequence, motion parameters from video frames are used to compute interpolation parameters, and rendered model views are overlayed on corresponding video frames. Experimental results for real video frames and model views are given. Finally, discussion on the limitations of the method and subjects for future research are provided.

인간이 실제 생활에서 느끼는 입체음향을 녹음해서 재생기를 통해 듣고자하는 시도는 역사적으로 이미 한 세기가 지났으나 아직도 실감 있는 입체음향 녹음 및 재생기법 연구는 계속진행 중에 있다. 스피커 혹은 헤드폰으로 전후, 좌우, 상하의 모든 방향 및 거리감까지도 재생시킬 수 있는 있어야 진정한 입체음향이라 말할 수 있겠지만 많은 오디오 기기 제조업체들이 홍보효과를 위해 입체음향을 부적절하게 사용함으로써 일반 사용자들은 입체음향에 대해 많이 혼돈하고 있는 실정이다. 정확한 의미로 오늘날 대부분의 오디오 기기를 차지하고 있는 스테레오 사운드는 1차원(좌우 축)사운드라고 말할 수 있으며, 극장 사운드는 2차원(좌우, 전후 축)사운드이며 상용화된 3차원 사운드 제품은 아직 존재하지 않는다고 말할 수 있다 본 논문에서는 현재 연구 중인 "방송을 위한 입체음향 생성 및 재생 기법" 중 대표적인 바이노럴 기법과 Ambisonic 기법 및 문제점에 대해 알아보았다

Generally, algorithms for generating disparity maps can be clssified into two categories: region-based method and feature-based method. The main focus of this research is to generate a disparity map with an accuracy depth information for 3-dimensional reconstructing. Basically, the region-based method and the feature-based method are simultaneously included in the proposed algorithm, so that the existing problems including false matching and occlusion can be effectively solved. As a region-based method, regions of false matching are extracted by the proposed MMAD(Modified Mean of Absolute Differences) algorithm which is a modification of the existing MAD(Mean of Absolute Differences) algorithm. As a feature-based method, the proposed method eliminates false matching errors by calculating the vector with SIFT and compensates the occluded regions by using a pair of adjacent SIFT matching points, so that the errors are reduced and the disparity map becomes more accurate.

최근 대두되고 있는 입체 TV는 보는 사람의 위치가 바뀌어도 동일한 영상을 보여주는 방식을 가지고 있어 입체감은 느끼지만 현실감과 생동감이 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 인터랙티브 다시점 입체 영상 시스템에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 유한개의 획득 영상으로부터 생성된 입체 영상을 사람의 위치에 따라 다른 영상을 보여줌으로써 보다 자연스러운 입체감을 주도록 한다 본 시스템은 이를 위해 로봇암을 사용하여 영상 데이터베이스를 만들고 이로부터 영상기반 3차원 모델링 방법을 모델링을 한 후 안경식과 무안경식 방법으로 입체 영상을 표시하게 하였다. 또한 이 시스템은 생성된 3D 모델의 가상환경과의 결합을 가능케 하고, 또한 가상환경 내에서의 3D 모델을 원격 제어할 수 있도록 하였다.
