Vision-based lane sensing systems require accurate and robust sensing performance in lane detection. Besides, there exists trade-off between the computational burden and processor cost, which should be considered for implementing the systems in passenger cars. In this paper, a stereo vision-based lane detection system is developed with considering sensor configuration aspects. An inverse perspective mapping method is formulated based on the relative correspondence between the left and right cameras so that the 3-dimensional road geometry can be reconstructed in a robust manner. A new monitoring model for estimating the road geometry parameters is constructed to reduce the number of the measured signals. The selection of the sensor configuration and specifications is investigated by utilizing the characteristics of standard highways. Based on the sensor configurations, it is shown that appropriate sensing region on the camera image coordinate can be determined. The proposed system is implemented on a passenger car and verified experimentally.

본 연구의 목적은 "로봇의 시각"과 "로봇의 촉각"을 대체할 수 있는 스테레오 비전 기반 햅틱스 시스템에서 가장 적합하고 효과적인 3D 재구성(3D reconstruction) 방법을 제안하는 것이다. 삼차원 영상에 대하여 정확하게 촉감을 전달하려면 스테레오 영상에서 사물의 깊이 정보와 사물의 경계면에 대한 정확한 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 스테레오 영상에서 사물의 깊이 정보를 정확하게 얻기 위하여 전통적인 스테레오 정합과정에 경계면 추출 방법인 LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) 방법과 DoG(Difference of Gaussian) 방법을 혼합적용하여 3D 영상을 재구성한 결과를 제시한다. 또한 어떤 방법이 햅틱 렌더링을 적용하는데 유용한 지 검증하기 위하여 연산 시간 및 오차 분석 실험을 수행한 결과, 본 연구처럼 비주얼 렌더링에 햅틱 렌더링을 추가하여 사용하는 경우에는 잡음 감소와 경계면 추출 성능이 더 우수한 DoG 방법이 더 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 스테레오 비전 기반 햅틱스 시스템을 위한 3D 재구성 방법은 이동형 정찰 로봇의 성능을 높이는 연구 등 여러 산업 분야와 군사 분야에 응용이 가능할 것이다.

With the wide usage of LiDAR data and high-resolution satellite image, 3D modeling of buildings in urban areas has become an important research topic in the photogrammetry and computer vision field for many years. However the previous modeling has its limitations of merely texturing the image to the DSM surface of the study area and does not represent the relief of building surfaces. This study is focused on presenting a system of realistic 3D building modeling from consecutive stereo image sequences using digital camera. Generally when acquiring images through camera, various parameters such as zooming, focus, and attitude are necessary to extract accurate results, which in certain cases, some parameters have to be rectified. It is, however, not always possible or practical to precisely estimate or rectify the information of camera positions or attitudes. In this research, we constructed the collinearity condition of stereo images through extracting the distinctive points from stereo image sequence. In addition, we executed image matching with Graph Cut method, which has a very high accuracy. This system successfully performed the realistic modeling of building with a good visual quality. From the study, we concluded that 3D building modeling of city area could be acquired more realistically.

Accurate calibration matching for maladjusted stereo cameras with calibrated pixel distance parameter is presented. The camera calibration is a necessary procedure for stereo vision-based depth computation. Intra and extra parameters should be obtain to determine the relation between image and world coordination through experiment. One difficulty is in camera alignment for parallel installation: placing two CCD arrays in a plane. No effective methods for such alignment have been presented before. Some amount of depth error caused from such non-parallel installation of cameras is inevitable. If the pixel distance parameter which is one of Intra parameter is calibrated with known points, such error can be compensated in some amount and showed the variable experiments for accurate effects.

This paper presents a Bin-Picking method in which robot recognizes the positions and orientations of jumbled objects placed in a bin, then picks up distinctive objects from the top of the jumble. The jumbled objects are recognized comparing the characteristics extracted from stereo images with those in the CAD data. The 3-D information is obtained using the bipartite-matching method which compares image of one camera with the image of the other camera Then the robot picks up the object which will cause the least amount of disturbance to the jumble, and places it at a predetermined place. This paper contributes to the basic study of Bin-Picking, and can be used in an automatic assembly system without using part sorting or orienting devices.

In this paper, we deal with a calibration method for low cost motion capture sensor using PSD (Position Sensitive Detection). The PSD sensor is employed to measure the direction of incident light from moving markers attached to motion body. To calibrate the PSD optical module, a conventional camera calibration algorithm introduced by Tsai. The 3-dimensional positions of the markers are measured by using stereo camera geometry. From the experimental results, the low cost motion capture sensor can be used in a real time system.

This paper presents a camera calibration method using several images for three dimensional measurement applications such as stereo systems, mobile robots, and visual inspection systems in factories. Conventional calibration methods that use single image suffer from errors related to reference point extraction in image, lens distortion, and numerical analysis of nonlinear optimization. The camera parameter values obtained from images of same camera is not same even though we use same calibration method. The camera parameters that are obtained from several images of different view for a calibration target is usaully not same with large error values and we can not assume a special probabilistic distribution when we estimate the parameter values. In this paper, the median value of camera parameters from several images is used to improve estimation of the camera values in an iterative step with nonlinear optimization. The proposed method is proved by experiments using real images.

A calibration method for multiple sets of stereo vision cameras is proposed. To measure the three-dimensional shape of a very long object, measuring the object at different viewpoints and registration of the data are necessary. In this study, two lasers beams generate two strings of calibration targets, which form straight lines in the world coordinate system. An evaluation function is defined to calculate the sum of the squares of the distances between each transformed target and the fitted line representing the laser beam to each target, and the distances between points appearing in the data sets of two adjacent viewpoints. The calculation process for the approximation method based on data linearity is presented. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the method.
