In this paper, we propose a 3-D range finding method for situation that stereo camera has small translational motion. Binocular stereo generally tends to produce stereo correspondence errors and needs huge amount of computation. The former drawback is because the additional constraints to regularize the correspondence problem are not always true for every scene. The latter drawback is because they use either correlation or optimization to find correct disparity. We present a method which overcomes these drawbacks by moving the stereo camera actively. The method utilized a motion parallax acquired by monocular motion stereo to restrict the search range of binocular disparity. Using only the uniqueness of disparity makes it possible to find reliable binocular disparity. Experimental results with real scene are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

정부의 중·소형 민간공사장 안전관리 강화대책 발표에 따라 CCTV 설치 의무화 대상이 대형 공사장에서 중·소형 공사장으로 확대되었다. 하지만 기존의 건설현장의 CCTV는 안전관리를 위한 단순 관제용으로 활용되고 있어 건설현장의 모니터링을 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 단안 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 단 영상을 기반으로 3개의 소실점(vanishing point)을 계산한 후 내부표정요소 정보를 포함하고 있는 카메라 행렬을 결정하고 기준 객체의 높이를 통해 대상 객체의 높이를 계산하여 정확도를 검증하는 연구를 수행하였다. 단안 카메라 기반의 소실점을 이용한 높이 결정 실험을 통해 별도의 지상기준점 측량 없이 단 영상만으로 대상 객체의 높이를 결정할 수 있었으며, 정확도를 평가한 결과 평균제곱근오차는 ±0.161m로 나타났다. 따라서, 단안 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 단영상을 통해 건설현장의 공사 진척도를 모니터링할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We use camera to apply human vision system in measurement. To do that, we need to know about camera parameters. The camera parameters are consisted of internal parameters and external parameters. we can fix scale factor&focal length in internal parameters, we can acquire external parameters. And we want to use these parameters in automatically driven vehicle by using camera. When we observe an camera parameters in respect with that the external parameters are important parameters. We can acquire external parameter as fixing focal length&scale factor. To get lane coordinate in image, we propose a lane detection filter. After searching lanes, we can seek vanishing point. And then y-axis seek y-sxis rotation component(${\beta}$). By using these parameter, we can find x-axis translation component(Xo). Before we make stepping motor rotate to be y-axis rotation component(${\beta}$), '0', we estimate image coordinates of lane at (t+1). Using this point, we apply this system to Kalman filter. And then we calculate to new parameters whick make minimum error.

This paper describes a new sensor system for 3D environment perception using stereo structured infrared light sources and a camera. Environment and obstacle sensing is the key issue for mobile robot localization and navigation. Laser scanners and infrared scanners cover $180^{\circ}$ and are accurate but too expensive. Those sensors use rotating light beams so that the range measurements are constrained on a plane. 3D measurements are much more useful in many ways for obstacle detection, map building and localization. Stereo vision is very common way of getting the depth information of 3D environment. However, it requires that the correspondence should be clearly identified and it also heavily depends on the light condition of the environment. Instead of using stereo camera, monocular camera and two projected infrared light sources are used in order to reduce the effects of the ambient light while getting 3D depth map. Modeling of the projected light pattern enabled precise estimation of the range. Two successive captures of the image with left and right infrared light projection provide several benefits, which include wider area of depth measurement, higher spatial resolution and the visibility perception.

본 논문에서는 모니터 상단의 일반 웹 카메라를 이용하여 사용자의 올바른 자세와 올바르지 않은 자세를 추정하고 사용자가 스스로 교정을 유도할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 어플리케이션을 소개한다. 교정의자나 허리 보호대 등의 도구가 없이 카메라 하나로 사용자가 자기 자세에 대한 인식을 할 수 있도록 제안하는 시스템이다. 정면 시점에서 바라보는 사용자의 자세는 얼굴과 어깨의 특징으로 판단하고, 초기화한 올바른 자세와 비교하여 사용자에게 경고 알림을 해주는 과정으로 진행된다. 주기적으로 자세를 확인하는 시스템을 통하여 사용자가 컴퓨터를 하는 자세에 대해 자각시킴으로써 올바른 자세를 가지도록 유도할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A new distance measurement method with the use of a single camera and a rotating mirror is presented. A camera in front of a rotating mirror acquires a sequence of reflected images, from which distance information is extracted. The distance measurement is based on the idea that the corresponding pixel of an object point at a longer distance moves at a higher speed in a sequence of images in this type of system setting. Distance measurement based on such pixel movement is investigated. Like many other image-based techniques, this presented technique requires matching corresponding points in two images. To alleviate such difficulty, two kinds of techniques of image tracking through the sequence of images and the utilization of multiple sets of image frames are described. Precision improvement is possible and is one attractive merit. The presented approach with a rotating mirror is especially suitable for such multiple measurements. The imprecision caused by the physical limit could be improved through making several measurements and taking an average. In this paper, mathematics necessary for implementing the technique is derived and presented. Also, the error sensitivities of related parameters are analyzed. Experimental results using the real camera-mirror setup are reported.

Robust motion estimation for human-computer interactions played an important role in a novel method of interaction with electronic devices. Existing pose estimation using a monocular camera employs either ego-motion or exo-motion, both of which are not sufficiently accurate for estimating fine motion due to the motion ambiguity of rotation and translation. This paper presents a hybrid vision-based pose estimation method for fine-motion estimation that is specifically capable of extracting human body motion accurately. The method uses an ego-camera attached to a point of interest and exo-cameras located in the immediate surroundings of the point of interest. The exo-cameras can easily track the exact position of the point of interest by triangulation. Once the position is given, the ego-camera can accurately obtain the point of interest's orientation. In this way, any ambiguity between rotation and translation is eliminated and the exact motion of a target point (that is, ego-camera) can then be obtained. The proposed method is expected to provide a practical solution for robustly estimating fine motion in a non-contact manner, such as in interactive games that are designed for special purposes (for example, remote rehabilitation care systems).

Many parallel lines may be shown in our real life and they are useful for analyzing structure of objects or buildings. In this paper, a vision based technique for estimating three-dimensional direction of parallel lines is suggested, which uses a calibrated camera and is applicable to an image being captured from the camera. Correctness of the technique is theoretically described and discussed in this paper. The technique is well applicable to measurement of orientation of a pallet in a warehouse, because a pair of parallel lines is well detected in the front plane of the pallet. Thereby the technique enables a forklift with a well-calibrated camera to engage the pallet automatically. Such a forklift in a warehouse can engage a pallet on a storing rack as well as one on the ground. Usefulness of the suggested technique for other applications is also discussed. We conducted an experiment of measuring a real commercial pallet with various orientation and distance and found for the technique to work correctly and accurately.

본 논문에서는 증강현실 환경에서 보다 강건한 카메라 정보 추정을 위한 입자필터 기반의 카메라 추적 기법에 대해서 설명한다. 실시간 카메라 추적을 위해서는 일반적으로 칼만 필터, 또는 확장 칼만 필터 등이 많이 이용되지만, 카메라의 급격한 흔들림 및 장면의 가려짐 등과 같은 불안정한 조건에서는 정상적인 카메라 추적이 매우 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 입자필터링 기법은 시스템 상태에 대한 측정 표본입자의 가중치를 별도의 가중치 계산과정을 이용하지 않고 가우스 분포를 기반으로 계산하였으며, 카메라 입자를 수렴시키기 위한 별도의 처리과정을 거치지 않고 시스템의 실제 불확실도에 근사화되도록 재표본화된 표본입자 집합을 이용하여 카메라 상태의 추정을 수행하였다. 또한 제안된 방법은 보다 많은 수의 표본 입자를 이용하는 환경에서도 실시간 처리가 가능한 장점이 있다. 실험을 통하여 다양한 환경 하에서 제안된 방법의 효율성과 정확성을 확인하였다.
