본 논문에서는 3D 디스플레이에서 사용자가 인지하는 깊이감을 조절하기 위하여 촬영된 스테레오 영상으로부터 중간시점 영상들을 생성하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 두 대의 카메라로부터 획득된 스테레오 영상은 카메라의 물리적인 위치와 간격에 따라 고정된 시점과 화면 시차를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 입력 스테레오 영상에 대한 시점 보간을 수행함으로써, 두 입력 영상 사이의 중간 시점에 대한 스테레오 영상을 생성하였다. 또한, 시점 보간에 사용되는 선형 보간 계수를 조절하여 재생성 될 스테레오 영상의 카메라 간격을 조절할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안방법을 이용하면 사용자의 양안간격이나 어플리케이션 특성에 적합하도록 깊이감이나 입체감을 조절하여 스테레오 영상을 재생성 할 수 있다.

A wide variety of image application methods, such as aerial image, terrestrial image, terrestrial laser, and stereo image point are currently under investigation to develop three-dimensional 3D geospatial information. In this study, matching points, which are needed to build a 3D model, were examined under diverse weather conditions by analyzing the stereo images recorded by closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed in the U-City. The tests on illuminance and precipitation conditions showed that the changes in the number of matching points were very sensitively correlated with the changes in the illuminance levels. Based on the performances of the CCTV cameras used in the test, this study was able to identify the optimal values of the shutter speed and iris. As a result, compared to an automatic control mode, improved matching points may be obtained for images filmed using the data obtained through this test in relation to different weather and illuminance conditions.

We propose a homology between thermodynamic systems and images for the treatment of time-varying imagery. A physical system colder than its surroundings absorbs heat from the surroundings. Furthermore, the absorbed heat increases the entropy of the system, which is closely related to its disorder as given by the definition of Clausius and Boltzmann. Because pixels of an image are viewed as a state of lattice-like molecules in a thermodynamic system, the task of reckoning the entropy variations of pixels is similar to estimating their degrees of disorder. We apply this homology to the uncalibrated stereo matching problem. The absence of calibrations alleviates user efforts to install stereo cameras and enables users to freely modify the composition of the cameras. The proposed method is also robust to differences in brightness, white balancing, and even focusing between stereo image pairs. These peculiarities enable users to estimate the depths of interesting objects in practical applications without much effort in order to set and maintain a stereo vision setup. Users can consequently utilize two webcams as a stereo camera.

A new intelligent stereo vision sensor system was studied for the motion and depth control of unmanned vehicles. A new bottom-up saliency map model for the human-like active stereo vision system based on biological visual process was developed to select a target object. If the left and right cameras successfully find the same target object, the implemented active vision system with two cameras focuses on a landmark and can detect the depth and the direction information. By using this information, the unmanned vehicle can approach to the target autonomously. A number of tests for the proposed bottom-up saliency map were performed, and their results were presented.

A stereo vision system was developed for robot milking system (RMS) using two monochromatic cameras. An algorithm for inverse perspective transformation was developed for the 3-D information acquisition of all teats. To verify performance of the algorithm in the stereo vision system, indoor tests were carried out using a test-board and model teats. A real cow and a model cow were used to measure distance errors. The maximum distance errors of test-board, model teats and real teats were 0.5 mm, 4.9 mm and 6 mm, respectively. The average distance errors of model teats and real teats were 2.9 mm and 4.43 mm, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that this algorithm was sufficient for the RMS to be applied.

This study proposes a method to overcome the limited detection range of short-baseline stereo cameras (SBSCs). The proposed method includes two steps: (1) predicting an unscaled initial depth using monocular depth estimation (MDE) and (2) adjusting the unscaled initial depth by a scale factor. The scale factor is computed by triangulating the sparse visual keypoints extracted from the left and right images of the SBSC. The proposed method allows the use of any pre-trained MDE model without the need for additional training or data collection, making it efficient even when considering the computational constraints of small platforms. Using an open dataset, the performance of the proposed method was demonstrated by comparing it with other conventional stereo-based depth estimation methods.

스테레오 카메라 시스템은 물리적으로 고정된 기선길이를 가지고 있어 축척이 일정하나 스테레오 영상에서 매번 특징점 매칭을 통해서 상호표정요소를 결정할 경우 축척이 고정 되어 있지 않아 실제 3차원 좌표를 측정하기 어려운 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수정된 공선조건식을 이용하여 좌우측 카메라의 내부적인 특성 및 카메라간의 관계를 동시에 결정하는 스테레오 카메라 캘리브레이션을 수행하고 이를 단일 카메라 캘리브레이션과 비교하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실험을 통해 근거리에 촬영한 영상에서 결정한 3차원 거리를 비교하였을 경우 단일 캘리브레이션의 결과에서는 ${\pm}0.014m$의 평균제곱근오차가 발생한 반면 스테레오 카메라의 경우에는 오차가 거의 발생하지 않았기 때문에 스테레오 카메라 캘리브레이션의 3차원 거리의 정확도가 우수하게 나타났다. 에피폴라 영상의 종시차에 대한 비교에서는 스테레오 카메라를 이용한 경우가 단일 카메라의 경우 보다 평균제곱근오차가 최대 0.3 픽셀 정도의 차이를 보였으나 그 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry is a measurement technique to acquire three dimensional velocity field by two cameras. With a laser sheet illumination, the third velocity component can be deduced from out-of$.$plane velocity components using a stereoscopic matching method. Most industrial fluid flows are three dimensional turbulent flows, so it is necessary to use the stereoscopic PIV measurement method. However the existing stereoscopic PIV system seems hard to use since it is very expensive and complex. In this study we have developed a Miniature Stereo-PIV(MSPIV) system based on the concept of the Miniature PIV system which we have already developed. In this paper, we address the design and some primitive experimental results of the Miniature Stereo-PIV system. The Miniature Stereo-PIV system features relatively modest performances, but is considerably smaller, cheaper and easy to handle. The proposed Miniature Stereo-PIV system uses two one-chip-only CMOS cameras with digital output. Only two other chips are needed, one for a buffer memory and one for an interfacing logic that controls the system. Images are transferred to a personal computer (PC) via its standard parallel port. No extra hardware is required (in particular, no frame grabber board is needed).

Recently, robotic bin-picking tasks have drawn considerable attention, because flexibility is required in robotic assembly tasks. Generally, stereo camera systems have been used widely for robotic bin-picking, but these have two limitations: First, computational burden for solving correspondence problem on stereo images increases calculation time. Second, errors in image processing and camera calibration reduce accuracy. Moreover, the errors in robot kinematic parameters directly affect robot gripping. In this paper, we propose a method of correcting the bin-picking error by using trinocular vision system which consists of two stereo cameras andone hand-eye camera. First, the two stereo cameras, with wide viewing angle, measure object's pose roughly. Then, the 3rd hand-eye camera approaches the object, and corrects the previous measurement of the stereo camera system. Experimental results show usefulness of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 이동체의 3차원 위치좌표를 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘을 통해 효율적으로 이동체의 3차원 위치좌표를 추출하는 방법을 도출하고자 하였다 스테레오 CCD 카메라의 상호표정을 수행하고, 획득된 영상에서 이동체를 배경과 분리한 뒤, 좌$\cdot$우 영상에서 이동체의 영상좌표를 추출한다. 추출된 좌$\cdot$우 영상에서의 영상좌표를 이용하여 이동체의 3차원 위치를 결정하게 된다. 스테레오 CCD 카메라간의 상호 위치 및 자세를 결정하기 위한 표정 모듈은 독립적 상호표정(independent relative orientation)을 사용하였고, 획득된 영상에서 이동체 추출 알고리즘은 칼라영상의 RGB(Red, Green, Blue) 화소값을 이용하여 구현하였다. 좌$\cdot$우 CCD 카메라로부터 들어오는 영상좌표를 이용하여 공간전방교회 법을 통해 이동체의 위치를 계산하였다. 그리고 전체 시스템의 실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과의 정확도를 비교하였다.
