In this paper, in order to solve the problems of a narrow viewing angle and the flip effect in a three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging display, we propose an improved system by using an eye tracking method based on the Kinect sensor. In the proposed method, we introduce two types of calibration processes. First process is to perform the calibration between two cameras within Kinect sensor to collect specific 3D information. Second process is to use a space calibration for the coordinate conversion between the Kinect sensor and the coordinate system of the display panel. Our calibration processes can provide the improved performance of estimation for 3D position of the observer's eyes and generate elemental images in real-time speed based on the estimated position. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we implement an integral imaging display system using the eye tracking process based on our calibration processes and carry out the preliminary experiments by measuring the viewing angle and flipping effect for the reconstructed 3D images. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method extended the viewing angles and removed the flipping images compared with the conventional system.

In order to detect the user's gaze position on a monitor by computer vision, the accurate estimations of 3D positions and 3D motion of facial features are required. In this paper, we apply a EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) to estimate 3D motion estimates and assumes that its motion is "smooth" in the sense of being represented as constant velocity translational and rotational model. Rotational motion is defined about the orgin of an face-centered coordinate system, while translational motion is defined about that of a camera centered coordinate system. For the experiments, we use the 3D facial motion data generated by computer simulation. Experiment results show that the simulation data andthe estimation results of EKF are similar.e similar.

기존의 연구에서는 홍채 특징 추출을 위해 검출된 원형 홍채 영역을 직교 사각형 홍채 영상으로 스트레칭 및 보간 하는 작업을 수행하였다. 이러한 경우 실제 홍채 특징이 왜곡되는 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 홍채 영상의 왜곡 없이 정확하게 홍채 특징을 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구는 다음과 같은 세 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 첫 번째, 극좌표 원형 영상 방식을 이용하여 기존의 직교 사각형 영상 방식보다 인식 성능 면에서 우수하다는 점을 해밍거리, 코사인거리, 유클리디안 거리의 3가지 metric을 이용하여 실제로 비교해본 점이며, 두 번째, 최근 홍채인식 연구의 주된 흐름인 품질이 좋지 못한 Non-Ideal 홍채 영상 중 하나의 형태인 홍채 카메라의 중심을 쳐다보지 않은 상태에서 취득된 홍채 영상의 동공과 홍채 중심 위치가 많이 차이나는 경우에 동공과 홍채 경계를 각각 원형 경계 검출로 경계를 찾은 후, 영상에 대한 보간(interpolation)없이 극좌표 원형 홍채 영상에서 직접 특징을 추출함으로써 홍채인식의 성능을 향상한 점이다. 마지막 세 번째는 극좌표 원형방식을 사용할 경우 발생하는 중복 포인트 문제를 해결한 것이다. 이러한 중복 포인트들은 같은 위치에서 여러 홍채 특징을 추출하는 현상을 야기함으로서 저주파 홍채 특징을 생성하는 결과를 낳게 된다. 즉, 홍채 특징의 신호 변화가 실제로 존재함에도 불구하고 같은 위치에서의 여러 홍채 특징들을 추출함으로써 파형변화가 적은 비슷한 홍채 신호를 만들게 된다. 중복 포인트가 주기적으로 많이 발생하는 동공부근의 첫 번째 트랙에 가버필더 적용 시 필터의 주파수를 작게 하여 중복 포인트에 의해 발생된 저주파 홍채 신호를 정확하게 추출하게 함으로써 홍채 인식 성능을 향상 시킨 점이다. 실험 결과, 기존의 직교 사각형 영상 기반 방식이 EER 0.29% 와 d'값 5.8 이였으며, 제안하는 극좌표 원형 방식이 EER 0.16% 와 d'값 6.4로 인식 성공률이 보다 높음을 알 수 있었다.

Bin picking is a task of picking a small object from a bin. For accurate bin picking, the 3D pose information, position, and orientation of a small object is required because the object is mixed with other objects of the same type in the bin. Using this 3D pose information, a robotic gripper can pick an object using exact distance and orientation measurements. In this paper, we propose a 3D vision technique for accurate measurement of 3D position and orientation of small objects, on which a paper label is stuck to the surface. We use a maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs) algorithm to detect the label areas in a left bin image acquired from a stereo camera. In each label area, image features are detected and their correlation with a right image is determined by a stereo vision technique. Then, the 3D position and orientation of the objects are measured accurately using a transformation from the camera coordinate system to the new label coordinate system. For stable measurement during a bin picking task, the pose information is filtered by averaging at fixed time intervals. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed technique yields pose accuracy between 0.4~0.5mm in positional measurements and $0.2-0.6^{\circ}$ in angle measurements.

In this paper a 3D position measuring device that finds the 3D position of an arbitarily placed object using a camersa system is introduced. The camera system consists of three stepping motors and a CCD camera and a laser. The viewing direction of the camera is controlled by two stepping motors (pan and tilt motors) and the direction of a laser is also controlled by a stepping motors(laser motor). If an object in a remote place is selected from a live video image the x,y,z coordinates of the object with respect to the reference coordinate system can be obtained by calculating the distance from the camera to the object using a structured light scheme and by obtaining the orientation of the camera that is controlled by two stepping motors. The angles o f stepping motors are controlled by a SGI O2 workstation through a parallel port. The mathematical model of the camera and the distance measuring system are calibrated to calculate an accurate position of the object. This 3D position measuring device can be used to acquire information that is necessary to monitor a remote place.

In this study, a system to increase the expressiveness of existing standard terminology using three-dimensional (3D) data is designed. We analyze the existing medical terminology system by searching the reference literature and perform an expert group focus survey. A human body image is generated using a 3D modeling tool. Then, the anatomical position of the human body is mapped to the 3D coordinates' identification (ID) and metadata. We define the term to represent the 3D human body position in a total of 12 categories, including semantic terminology entity and semantic disorder. The Blender and 3ds Max programs are used to create the 3D model from medical imaging data. The generated 3D human body model is expressed by the ID of the coordinate type (x, y, and z axes) based on the anatomical position and mapped to the semantic entity including the meaning. We propose a system of standard terminology enabling integration and utilization of the 3D human body model, coordinates (ID), and metadata. In the future, through cooperation with the Electronic Health Record system, we will contribute to clinical research to generate higher-quality big data.

For developing navigation system of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and evaluating hip joint kinematics, 3-D pose position of the femur and acetabulum in the pelvic coordinate system has been quantified. The pelvic coordinate system is determined by manually indicating pelvic landmarks in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) images. It includes intra- and inter-observer variability, and may result in a variability of THA operation or diagnosis. To reduce the variability of pelvic coordinate system determination, this paper proposes an automated method in MDCT images. The proposed method determines pelvic coordinate system automatically by detecting pelvic landmarks on anterior pelvic plane (APP) from MDCT images. The method calibrates pelvic pose by using silhouette images to suppress the affect of pelvic pose change. As a result of comparing with manual determination, the proposed method determined the coordinate system with a mean displacement of $2.6\;{\pm}\;1.6$ mm and a mean angle error of $0.78\;{\pm}\;0.34$ deg on 5 THA subjects. For changes of pelvic pose position within 10 deg, standard deviation of displacement was 3.7 mm, and of pose was 1.28 deg. We confirmed the proposed method was robust for pelvic pose changes.

일반적으로 3차원 메시 모델은 많은 정점(vertex)과 다각형으로 이루어져 있을 뿐만 아니라 정점 위치 각각은 3차원 좌표에서 세 개의 32비트 부동소수점수로 표현되기 때문에, 모델을 표현하기 위해 필요한 데이터 량은 매우 많다. 따라서 3차원 모델을 효과적으로 저장 및 전송하기 위한 압축 기법은 필수적으로 요구된다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 예측 잉여신호 벡터 양자화를 이용한 3차원 모델 압축 기법을 제안한다. 기본적인 개념은 3D 모델을 이루는 서로 인접한 정점 위치들간에 존재하는 높은 상관도와 정점 위치 자체가 지니는 벡터 특성에 근거한다. 실험 결과에 따르면 제안한 방법이 기존의 압축 방법에 비해 높은 압축율을 얻을 수 있으며 정점 위치 정보를 점진적으로 전송할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다.

Recently taping robot with smart recognition function have been studied in the coil manufacturing field. Due to the difficulty of 3D surface processing from the complicated working environment, it is not easy to accomplish smart tape attachment motion with non-contact sensor. To solve these problems the applicable surface recognition algorithm and a flexible sensing device has been recommended. In this research, the fusion method between 1D displacement and 3D laser scanner is applied for robust tape attachment about cold rolled coil. With these sensors we develop a two-step exploration and the smart algorithm for the awareness of non-aligned coil's information. In the proposed robot system for tape attachment, the problem is reduced to coil's radius searching with laser displacement sensor at first, and then position and orientation detection with 3D laser scanner. To get the movement at the robot's base frame, the hand-eye compensation between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out respectively. In this paper, we examine the auto-coordinate transformation method in the calibration step for the real environment usage. From the experimental results, it was shown that the taping motion of robot had a robust under the non-aligned cold rolled coil.
