다중의 영상을 이용하여 하나의 파노라마 영상을 제작하는 기법은 컴퓨터 비전, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등과 같은 여러 분야에서 널리 연구되고 있다. 파노라마 영상은 하나의 카메라에서 얻을 수 있는 영상의 한계, 즉 예를 들어 화각, 화질, 정보량 등의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로서 가상현실, 로봇비전 등과 같이 광각의 영상이 요구되는 다양한 분야에서 응용될 수 있다. 파노라마 영상은 단일 영상과 비교하여 보다 큰 몰입감을 제공한다는 점에서 큰 의미를 갖는다. 현재 다양한 파노라마 영상 제작 기법들이 존재하지만, 대부분의 기법들이 공통적으로 파노라마 영상을 구성할 때 각 영상에 존재하는 특징점 및 대응점을 검출하는 방식을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서 사용한 SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) 알고리즘은 영상의 특징점을 검출할 때 영상의 흑백정보와 지역 공간 정보를 활용하는데, 영상의 크기 변화와 시점 검출에 강하며 SIFT(Scale Invariant Features Transform) 알고리즘에 비해 속도가 빠르다는 장점이 있어서 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 영상 사이 또는 하나의 영상과 여러 영상 사이에 대응되는 매칭을 계산하여 파노라마영상을 생성하는 처리 방법을 구현하고 기술하였다.

파노라마 이미지 생성 기법의 중요한 부분은 입력 영상들로부터 특징을 추출하고, 영상간의 대응점을 찾는 작업이다. 특징 추출할 때 영상의 회전, 스케일, 밝기 변화에 강건하고 수행속도가 비교적 빠른 검출 알고리즘을 사용한다. 파노라마 이미지 생성 과정에 있어서 실제 대응하는 점들을 크게 다루기 때문에 불필요한 영역의 특징들은 오히려 연산속도의 방해 요소가 된다. 본 논문에서는 특징 추출 영역을 제한함으로써 특징 매칭 횟수 감소 및 속도 향상 방법을 제안한다. 특징의 개수가 감소되면 매칭 횟수 감소되고, 이후 이루어질 여러 계산량도 줄어 속도가 향상된다. 본 연구에 SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Feature) 알고리즘을 사용하였다.

본 논문에서는 비문(鼻紋)을 이용한 개의 개체인식 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 비문을 기반으로 한신원 확인 시스템에서는 종이에 비문을 찍어내어 일반화(generalization)된 데이터를 만드는 과정을 거치거나, 기계학습을 위해 한 개체에 대한 여러 장의 사진을 요구하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한 개체에 대한 두 장의 사진과 SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Features) 알고리듬을 이용한 특징점 추출(feature detection), FREAK(Fast Retina Keypoint) 특징 기술자(feature descriptor)를 사용한 개체인식 시스템을 제안한다. 비문 이미지에는 개 코의 특성상 반사로 인한 다수의 노이즈가 생기게 되는데 이를 극복하기 위한 전처리 과정이 제안 알고리듬에 포함되어 있다. 실험결과 두 장의 사진으로도 비문 기반의 개체인식을 할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Nowadays, there are a lot of Korean documents, which often need to be identified in one of printed or handwritten text. Early methods for the identification use structural features, which can be simple and easy to apply to text of a specific font, but its performance depends on the font type and characteristics of the text. Recently, the bag-of-words model has been used for the identification, which can be invariant to changes in font size, distortions or modifications to the text. The method based on bag-of-words model includes three steps: word segmentation using connected component grouping, feature extraction, and finally classification using SVM(Support Vector Machine). In this paper, bag-of-words model based method is proposed using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) for the identification of machine printed and handwritten text in Korean documents. The experiment shows that the proposed method outperforms methods based on structural features.

The new algorithm technique is necessary to incorporate for analyzing and evaluating extreme condition like a nuclear accident. In this study, the combined methodology for measuring the three-dimensional space was compared with SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Feature) algorithm. The suggested method can be used for the acquisition of spatial information using the robot vision in the districted area of the nuclear facilities. As a result, these data would be helpful for identify the damaged part, degree of damage and determination of recovery sequences.

In a real-time indoor place recognition system using image features detection, specific markers included in input image should be detected exactly and quickly. However because the same markers in image are shown up differently depending to movement, direction and angle of camera, it is required a method to solve such problems. This paper proposes a technique to extract the features of object without regard to change of the object scale. To support real-time operation, it adopts SURF(Speeded up Robust Features) which enables fast feature detection. Another feature of this system is the user mark designation which makes possible for user to designate marks from input image for location detection in advance. Unlike to use hardware marks, the feature above has an advantage that the designated marks can be used without any manipulation to recognize location in input image.

This paper proposes vehicle detection and tracking algorithm using a CCD camera. The proposed algorithm uses Haar-like wavelet edge detector to detect features of vehicle and estimates vehicle's location using calibration information of an image. After that, extract accumulated vehicle information in continuous k images to improve reliability. Finally, obtained vehicle region becomes a template image to find same object in the next continuous image using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features). The template image is updated in the every frame. In order to reduce SURF processing time, ROI(Region of Interesting) region is limited on expended area of detected vehicle location in the previous frame image. This algorithm repeats detection and tracking progress until no corresponding points are found. The experimental result shows efficiency of proposed algorithm using images obtained on the road.

This paper proposes a hybrid image stabilizing system which uses both optical image stabilizing system based on EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) and digital image stabilization based on SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature). Though image information is one of the most efficient data for object recognition, it is susceptible to noise which results from internal vibration as well as external factors. The blurred image obtained by the camera mounted on a robot makes it difficult for the robot to recognize its environment. The proposed system estimates shaking angle through EKF based on the information from inclinometer and gyro sensor to stabilize the image. In addition, extracting the feature points around rotation axis using SURF which is robust to change in scale or rotation enhances processing speed by removing unnecessary operations using Hessian matrix. The experimental results using the proposed hybrid system shows its effectiveness in extended frequency range.

Images taken using drones have been applied to fields that require rapid decision-making as they can quickly construct high-quality 3D spatial information for small regions. To construct spatial information based on drone images, it is necessary to determine the relationship between images by extracting keypoints between adjacent drone images and performing image matching. Therefore, in this study, three study regions photographed using a drone were selected: a region where parking lots and a lake coexisted, a downtown region with buildings, and a field region of natural terrain, and the performance of AKAZE (Accelerated-KAZE), BRISK (Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints), KAZE, ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF), SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), and SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) algorithms were analyzed. The performance of the keypoints extraction algorithms was compared with the distribution of extracted keypoints, distribution of matched points, processing time, and matching accuracy. In the region where the parking lot and lake coexist, the processing speed of the BRISK algorithm was fast, and the SURF algorithm showed excellent performance in the distribution of keypoints and matched points and matching accuracy. In the downtown region with buildings, the processing speed of the AKAZE algorithm was fast and the SURF algorithm showed excellent performance in the distribution of keypoints and matched points and matching accuracy. In the field region of natural terrain, the keypoints and matched points of the SURF algorithm were evenly distributed throughout the image taken by drone, but the AKAZE algorithm showed the highest matching accuracy and processing speed.
