The image-based 3D modeling is the technique of generating a 3D graphic model from images acquired using cameras. It is being researched as an alternative technique for the expensive 3D scanner. In this paper, I propose the image-based 3D modeling system using calibrated camera. The proposed algorithm for rendering 3D model is consisted of three steps, camera calibration, 3D shape reconstruction and 3D surface generation step. In the camera calibration step, I estimate the camera matrix for the image aquisition camera. In the 3D shape reconstruction step, I calculate 3D volume data from silhouette using pyramidal volume intersection. In the 3D surface generation step, the reconstructed volume data is converted to 3D mesh surface. As shown the result, I generated relatively accurate 3D model.

The focus control mechanism of the multi-purpose camera can be required for the better quality image acquisition. A good image acquisition through the hardware system including the optics and image sensor, has to be processed before the post correction for improvement of image quality. In the case of the high-resolution satellite camera, the focus control is not a necessity, unlike a normal camera due to a fixed optical system, but may be required due to various reasons. Although there is a basic focus control method using a motor for satellite electronic optical camera, a focus control method using thermal control can be a good alternative because of its various advantages in design, installation, operation, contamination, high reliability and etc. In this paper, we describe the design method and implementation results for the focus control mechanism using the temperature sensor and heater installed in the telescope structure. In the proposed focus control method, the measured temperature information is converted into temperature data by the Kalman filter and the converted temperature data are used in PI controller for the thermal focus control.

Depth recovery in robot vision is an essential problem to infer the three dimensional geometry of scenes from a sequence of the two dimensional images. In the past, many studies have been proposed for the depth estimation such as stereopsis, motion parallax and blurring phenomena. Among cues for depth estimation, depth from lens translation is based on shape from motion by using feature points. This approach is derived from the correspondence of feature points detected in images and performs the depth estimation that uses information on the motion of feature points. The approaches using motion vectors suffer from the occlusion or missing part problem, and the image blur is ignored in the feature point detection. This paper presents a novel approach to the defocus technique based depth from lens translation using sequential SVD factorization. Solving such the problems requires modeling of mutual relationship between the light and optics until reaching the image plane. For this mutuality, we first discuss the optical properties of a camera system, because the image blur varies according to camera parameter settings. The camera system accounts for the camera model integrating a thin lens based camera model to explain the light and optical properties and a perspective projection camera model to explain the depth from lens translation. Then, depth from lens translation is proposed to use the feature points detected in edges of the image blur. The feature points contain the depth information derived from an amount of blur of width. The shape and motion can be estimated from the motion of feature points. This method uses the sequential SVD factorization to represent the orthogonal matrices that are singular value decomposition. Some experiments have been performed with a sequence of real and synthetic images comparing the presented method with the depth from lens translation. Experimental results have demonstrated the validity and shown the applicability of the proposed method to the depth estimation.

As the availability of images from airborne digital camera with high resolution is expanded, a lot of concern are shown about the production of orthoimage and digital map. This study presents the method of updating digital map using orthoimage from airborne digital camera image. Images were georectified using GPS surveying data. For the generation of orthoimage, Lidar DEM was used. The absolute positional accuracy of orthoimage was evaluated using GPS surveying data. And that of the building layer of digital map was estimated using the existed digital map at the scale of 1:1,000. The absolute positional accuracy of orthoimage was as followed: RMSE in X and Y were ${\pm}0.076m$ and ${\pm}0.294m$. The RMSE of the building layer were ${\pm}0.250m$ and ${\pm}0.210m$ in X and Y directions, respectively. The RMSE of the digital map using orthoimage from Aerial Digital Camera image fell within allowable error range established by NGII. Consequently, updating digital map using orthoimage from Aerial Digital Camera image can be applied to various fields including the construction of the framework data and the GIS of local government.

Use of the digital camera as a color measuring device was proposed. Digital camera can save, adjust and transmit image using computer. But it has great disadvantage that color of image possibly altered by environment of image capturing state, so the color reproducibility of digital camera can severly damage, Casmatch, the supplement for color correction, was proposed for enhance the color reproducibility of digital camera. Thus for study the efficacy of the Casmatch in enhancing the color reproducibility of digital camera, image of 78area in 39teeth was captured three times during two days and color reproducibility was evaluated and analyzed in terms of the use of Casmatch, teeth positions, and area within the tooth and comparatively analyzed. Results were as follow ; 1. ${\Delta}$E the color reproducibility of digital camera was 6.90${\pm}$3.27 in same day and 7.43${\pm}$3.94 in different day, and the color reproducibility when using Casmatch correction was 6.21${\pm}$3.86, 7.59${\pm}$4.48, there is no enhancement in using Casmatch correction. 2. There is no difference in color reproducibility between teeth, but color reproducibility of the middle third was greater(p<0.05) than the gingival third before color correction using Casmatch.

We also make application program which can be cooperated with the device driver for testing its performance, for example image capture speed and quality of captured image. We check that the application can be cooperated well not only with the device driver for camera capture but also with the device driver for FAT file system designed especially for the NAND flash memory.

Undesired camera shaking can make a blur effect, which causes a degradation of video quality. We propose an efficient method of removing the blur effects on video captured from a single camera. The proposed method has a sequential process that is applied to each frame. The first stage is to estimate the camera motion for each frame. In order to estimate the camera motion, we compute the optical flow using 3 consecutive frames. Then a patch-wise image deconvolution is applied. During the deconvolution, edge prediction is used to improve the quality of image deconvolution. After patch-wise image deconvolution, deblurred patches are integrated into an image to produce a deblurred frame. The above process is performed for each frame. The experimental result shows that the proposed method removes the blur effect efficiently.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid stereoscopic camera system which acquires and utilizes stereoscopic images from two different camera modules, the main-camera module and the sub-camera module. Hybrid stereoscopic camera can effectively reduce the price and the size of a stereoscopic camera by using a relatively small and cheap sub-camera module such as a mobile phone camera. Images from the two different camera modules are very different from each other in aspects of color, angle of view, scale, resolution and so on. The proposed system performs an efficient hybrid stereoscopic image registration algorithm that transforms hybrid stereoscopic images into normal stereoscopic images based-on camera geometry. As experimental results, the registered stereoscopic images and applications of the proposed system are shown to demonstrate the performance and the functionality of the proposed camera system.
