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.

In this paper we describe a motion tracking algorithm for 3D human animation using stereo vision system. This allows us to extract the motion data of the end effectors of human body by following the movement through segmentation process in HIS or RGB color model, and then blob analysis is used to detect robust shape. When two hands or two foots are crossed at any position and become disjointed, an adaptive algorithm is presented to recognize whether it is left or right one. And the real motion is the 3-D coordinate motion. A mono image data is a data of 2D coordinate. This data doesn't acquire distance from a camera. By stereo vision like human vision, we can acquire a data of 3D motion such as left, right motion from bottom and distance of objects from camera. This requests a depth value including x axis and y axis coordinate in mono image for transforming 3D coordinate. This depth value(z axis) is calculated by disparity of stereo vision by using only end-effectors of images. The position of the inner joints is calculated and 3D character can be visualized using inverse kinematics.

In this paper, a new 3D object tracking system using the disparity motion vector (DMV) is presented. In the proposed method, the time-sequential disparity maps are extracted from the sequence of the stereo input image pairs and these disparity maps are used to sequentially estimate the DMV defined as a disparity difference between two consecutive disparity maps Similarly to motion vectors in the conventional video signals, the DMV provides us with motion information of a moving target by showing a relatively large change in the disparity values in the target areas. Accordingly, this DMV helps detect the target area and its location coordinates. Based on these location data of a moving target, the pan/tilt embedded in the stereo camera system can be controlled and consequently achieve real-time stereo tracking of a moving target. From the results of experiments with 9 frames of the stereo image pairs having 256x256 pixels, it is shown that the proposed DMV-based stereo object tracking system can track the moving target with a relatively low error ratio of about 3.05 % on average.

Recently, the generation of panoramic images and high quality mosaic images from video sequences has been attempted by a variety of investigations. Among a matter of investigation, in this paper, left and right stereo mosaic image generation utilizing airborne-video sequence images is focused upon. The stereo mosaic image is generated by creating left and right mosaic image which is generated by front and rear slit having different viewing angle in consecutive video frame images. The generation of stereo mosaic image proposed in this paper consists of several processes: camera parameter estimation for each video frame image, rectification, slicing, motion parallax elimination and image mosaicking. However it is necessary to check the feasibility on generating stereo mosaic image as explained processes. Therefore, in this paper, we performed the feasibility test on generating stereo mosaic image using video frame images. In doing so, anaglyphic image for stereo mosaic images is generated and tested for feasibility check.

This paper proposes a detection algorithm for view reversal in a stereoscopic video using a disparity map and motion vector field. We obtain the disparity map of a stereo image was obtained using a specific stereo matching algorithm and classify the image into the foreground and background. Next, the motion vector field of the image on a block basis was produced using a full search algorithm. Finally, the stereo image was considered to be reversed when the foreground moved toward the background and the covered region was in the foreground. The proposed algorithm achieved a good detection rate when the background was covered sufficiently by its moving foreground.

Camera arrangement for depth and image correspondence is very important to the computer vision. Two conventional comera arrangements for stereo computer vision are lateral model and axial motion model. In this paper, using the axial motion stereo camera model, the algorithm for camera focal length measurement and the surface smoothness with the radiance-irradiance is proposed fro 3-dimensional image correspondence on stereo computer vision. By adapting the above algorithm, camera focal length can be measured precisely and the resolution of 3-dimensional image correspondence has been improved comparing to that of the axial motion model without the radiance-irradiance relation.

In this paper, a new stereo object tracking system using the disparity motion vector is proposed. In the proposed method, the time-sequential disparity motion vector can be estimated from the disparity vectors which are extracted from the sequence of the stereo input image pair and then using these disparity motion vectors, the area where the target object is located and its location coordinate are detected from the input stereo image. Basing on this location data of the target object, the pan/tilt embedded in the stereo camera system can be controlled and as a result, 3D tracking of the target object can be possible.

본 논문에서는 적응적 시차 움직임 벡터에 기반한 스테레오 물체추적 및 3차원 디스플레이 시스템을 제안하였다. 즉, 제안된 시스템에서는 스테레오 입력영상 시퀸스로부터 적응적으로 추출된 시차 벡터로부터 프레임간 적응적 시차 움직임 벡터를 구한 다음 이를 이용하여 각 프레임에서 표적물체가 존재하는 영역 및 위치좌표를 효과적으로 검출하였다. 또한, 이를 프레임간 표적의 이동거리 좌표를 구하여 최종적으로 팬/틸트를 제어해 줌으로써 표적 물체를 추적하였다. 256$\times$256 픽셀 크기의 스테레오 영상 20 프레임을 사용한 물체추적 실험 결과, 표적 물체의 실제위치와 실험을 통해 얻은 이동위치 간의 평균 에러율이 약 3.05$\%$로 낮게 나타남으로써 본 논문에서 새로이 제안한 적응적 시차 움직임 벡터 기반의 스테레오 물체추적 시스템의 실질적친 응용 가능성과 영상복원 기법을 사용하여 이동 물체의 3차원적 입체 디스플레이 또한 가능하다.

최근 항공 비디오 영상을 이용한 고해상도 모자이크 영상제작에 대한 연구가 큰 관심사로 대두되고 있다. 그 중, 본 논문에서는 입체 모자이크 영상 제작에 그 목적을 두고 있다. 입체 모자이크 영상은 연속된 비디오 프레임 영상에서 각기 다른 촬영 각도를 가지고 있는 전방과 후방 슬라이스 영상을 추출한 후, 각각을 모자이킹하여 좌우모자이크 영상을 생성함으로써 제작되어진다. 입체 모자이크 영상을 제작하기 위해서는 프레임 영상간의 기하학적 관계를 규명할 수 있는 이동변수(motion parameters)가 결정되어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동변수 중, 상대적인 이동변수를 규명할 수 있는 부등각 모델을 적용하였다. 이러한 상대적인 이동변수를 사용하여 모자이크 영상을 제작하는 방법을 자유 모자이크라고 한다. 자유 모자이크 과정은 결정된 이동변수를 이용하여 첫 번째 프레임 영상을 기준으로 영상등록을 수행한 후, 전방 및 후방 슬라이스 영상 추출, 접합선 추출, 영상 모자이킹 과정을 거쳐 수행된다. 본 연구의 결과로 좌우 모자이크 영상과 이를 이용한 여색입체 모자이크 영상을 나타내었으며, 정확도 분석을 위하여 종시차 분석을 수행하였다.

For robot navigation and visual reconstruction, structure from motion (SFM) is an active issue in computer vision community and its properties arc also becoming well understood. In this paper, when using stereo image sequence and direct method as a tool for SFM, we present a new method for overcoming bas-relief ambiguity. We first show that the direct methods, based on optical flow constraint equation, are also intrinsically exposed to such ambiguity although they introduce robust methods. Therefore, regarding the motion and depth estimation by the robust and direct method as approximated ones. we suggest a method that refines both stereo displacement and motion displacement with sub-pixel accuracy, which is the central process f3r improving its ambiguity. Experiments with real image sequences have been executed and we show that the proposed algorithm has improved the estimation accuracy.
