본 논문에서는 다시점 동영상에서 임의시점영상을 생성하기 위한 기법과 생성된 영상 내에 존재하는 미처리 영역을 보상하기 위한 전처리 및 후처리 기법을 제안한다. 임의시점영상을 생성하기 위한 방법으로는 카메라의 기하학적 특성을 이용하는 방법을 사용한다. 다시점 영상의 깊이정보와 카메라의 파라미터 정보를 이용하여 텍스쳐 영상 내 화소들의 실제 3차원 좌표를 얻어낼 수 있고, 산출된 3차원 좌표를 다른 시점 카메라의 2차원 영상면으로 재 배치함으로써 원하는 시점의 영상을 생성할 수 있다. 하지만 생성된 영상 내에는 다수의 미처리 영역이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 시간적인 중복성, 공간적인 방향성, 획득된 다시점 영상 또는 깊이정보의 오차의 특징을 고려하여 미처리 영역을 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 적용한 결과 30dB 이상의 PSNR과 3.5이상의 DSCQS(double stimulus continuous quality scale method) 점수를 얻음으로써 객관적, 주관적 평가에서 모두 신뢰도가 높은 임의시점 영상을 생성할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a new view synthesis technique for coding of multi-view color and depth data in arbitrary camera arrangements. We treat each camera position as a 3-D point in world coordinates and build clusters of those vertices. Color and depth data within a cluster are gathered into one camera position using a hierarchical representation based on the concept of layered depth image (LDI). Since one camera can cover only a limited viewing range, we set multiple reference cameras so that multiple LDIs are generated to cover the whole viewing range. Therefore, we can enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed views from multiple LDIs comparing with that from a single LDI. From experimental results, the proposed scheme shows better coding performance under arbitrary camera configurations in terms of PSNR and subjective visual quality.

In this paper, we introduced a novel voxel-wise UV parameterization and view-dependent texture synthesis for the immersive rendering of a truncated signed distance field (TSDF) scene model. The proposed UV parameterization delegates a precomputed UV map to each voxel using the UV map lookup table and consequently, enabling efficient and high-quality texture mapping without a complex process. By leveraging the convenient UV parameterization, our view-dependent texture synthesis method extracts a set of local texture maps for each voxel from the multiview color images and separates them into a single view-independent diffuse map and a set of weight coefficients for an orthogonal specular map basis. Furthermore, the view-dependent specular maps for an arbitrary view are estimated by combining the specular weights of each source view using the location of the arbitrary and source viewpoints to generate the view-dependent textures for arbitrary views. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively synthesizes texture for an arbitrary view, thereby enabling the visualization of view-dependent effects, such as specularity and mirror reflection.

In this paper, we propose a method fur measuring the dimensions of an arbitrary object using geometric relationship between a perspective projection image and a rectangular parallelepiped model. For recognizing the vertexes of the rectangular parallelepiped surrounding an arbitrary object, the method adopts a strategy that derives the equations for vertex recognition from the geometrical relationships for image formation between 2D image and the rectangular parallelepiped model. extracts from 2D image with vertical view features (or junctions) of minimum quadrangle circumscribing an arbitrary shape object, and then recognizes vertexes from the features with the equations. Finally, the dimensions of the object are calculated from these results of vertex recognition. By the experimental results, it is demonstrated that this method is very effective to recognize the vertexes of the arbitrary objects.

컴퓨터 그래픽스의 응용 분야 특히, CAD나 애니메이션 분야에서는 하나의 물체를 다른 시점에서 또는 시점은 고정하고 다른 각도로 바라본 형태를 디스플레이 할 수 있어야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 어떤 물체를 임의의 축에 관하여 임의의 각도 만큼 회 전 이동시키는 회전 이동 변환이 필요하다. 3차원 그래픽스 응용에서는 많은 변환이 필요하며, 하나의 물체는 보통 많은 꼭지점들로 구성되어서 가능한한 빠른 속도로 회 전 이동 좌표를 구하는 것이 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 그래픽스에서 필 요한 변환중 많은 연산 횟수로 인하여 계산 시간이 문제가 되는 임의의 축에 관한 회 전 이동 변환 행렬을 빠르게 계산하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 PC- 486DX2-50상에서 구현하여 기존의 계산 방법과 결과의 계산속도를 비교함으로써 알고 리즘의 유용성을 보인다.

Virtual view synthesis is essential for 3DTV systems, which utilizes the motion parallax cue. In this paper, we propose a multi-step view synthesis algorithm to efficiently reconstruct an arbitrary view from limited number of known views of a 3D scene. We describe an efficient image rectification procedure which guarantees that an interpolation process produce valid views. This rectification method can deal with all possible camera motions. The idea consists of using a polar parameterization of the image around the epipole. Then, to generate intermediate views, we use an efficient dense disparity estimation algorithm considering features of stereo image pairs. Main concepts of the algorithm are based on the region dividing bidirectional pixel matching. The estimated disparities are used to synthesize intermediate view of stereo images. We use computer simulation to show the result of the proposed algorithm.

Mugshot face images, routinely collected by police, usually contain both frontal and profile views. Existing automated face recognition methods exploited mugshot databases by enlarging the gallery with synthetic multi-view face images generated from the mugshot face images. This paper, instead, proposes to match the query arbitrary view face image directly to the enrolled frontal and profile face images. During matching, the 3D face shape model reconstructed from the mugshot face images is used to establish corresponding semantic parts between query and gallery face images, based on which comparison is done. The final recognition result is obtained by fusing the matching results with frontal and profile face images. Compared with previous methods, the proposed method better utilizes mugshot databases without using synthetic face images that may have artifacts. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated on the Color FERET and CMU PIE databases.

In this paper we propose a new method of Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) for Free-viewpoint TV (FTV). In the proposed method, virtual viewpoint images are rendered with 3D warping instead of estimating the view-dependent depth since depth estimation is usually costly and it is desirable to eliminate it from the rendering process. However, 3D warping causes some problems that do not occur in the method with view-dependent depth estimation; for example, the appearance of holes on the rendered image, and the occurrence of depth discontinuity on the surface of the object at virtual image plane. Depth discontinuity causes artifacts on the rendered image. In this paper, these problems are solved by reconstructing disparity information at virtual camera position from neighboring two real cameras. In the experiments, high quality arbitrary viewpoint images were obtained.

This paper presents a new image rectification method using stereo image pairs to synthesize arbitrary viewing images. The image rectification is a preprocessing procedure that generates a vertically aligned images and makes epipolar lines collinear. The proposed rectification method has more robustness by considering the real situations such as the mismatch of pan angle, tilt angle and vertical shifting of cameras than previous method[5] which considers only pan angle. We evaluate the proposed method by comparison with previous method using synthesized images.

Multi-view function is important to three-dimensional displays without dedicated glasses. It is the reason that the observers earnestly desire to change their positions freely. Multi-viewing is also principal to the reality of three-dimensional (3D) image displayed on the screen. The display of projection type has the advantage that the number of viewing points can be easily increased according to the number of projectors. The authors research on multi-view projection display with hologram screen. Powerful directionality of the diffracted beam from hologram screen is required unlike two-dimensional (2D) display. We developed a new method that all diffracted beams satisfied the same Bragg condition and became sufficiently bright to observe the 3D image under usual indoor light. The principle is based on the essential Bragg diffraction in the three-dimensional space. Owing to such three-dimensional Bragg diffraction we achieved an excellent hologram screen that could be multiple reconstructed in spite of single recording. This hologram screen is able to answer arbitrary numbers of viewing points within wide viewing zone. The distortion of 3D image becomes also sufficiently small with the method of dividing the cross angle between illumination and diffraction beam.
