본 논문은 인간의 시각체계를 모방한 스테레오 비전 시스템을 이용해 물체까지의 거리를 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 연구에서의 거리 측정 방법은 스테레오 카메라의 중복 영역 중에서 광축 내부에 물체가 위치했을 경우에만 측정 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 두 카메라의 중복영역 중에서 광축 외부에 물체가 위치했을 경우에 그 물체까지의 거리를 측정하는 방법을 제안 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 거리 측정 방법을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 실행하였다. 시뮬레이션 실험 결과 제안된 거리 측정 방법의 정확성을 확인하였다.

시각 정보는 사람이 정보를 획득 하는데 가장 주요한 수단이다. 시각이라는 수단을 상실한 시각장애인을 위하여 흰 지팡이, Navbelt, MELDOG 등의 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 연구의 일환으로 점자 블록 검출에 대한 연구를 진행한다. 기존 색상 기반 방법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 스테레오 비전 시스템을 이용하여 장애물이나 벽면을 제거하고, 2차에 걸친 필터링 시스템을 적용하여, 보다 정밀한 후보 영역을 검출하였다. 그리고 윈도우를 이용하여 보행로 판단에 적용함으로 직선의 보행로만 아니라 교차로 형태의 보행로 인식에서도 안정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

자율주행 기술에서 스테레오 비전과 End-to-End Driving은 많이 사용되는 기술이며 본 연구에서는 이를 신호등 인식과 주행에 적용하였다. 신호등 인식은 좌우 카메라로부터 적색 원을 인식한 후 스테레오 비전을 통해 신호등과의 거리를 추정한다. 주행 시스템은 End-to-End Learning 기반으로 이루어지며, 출력값인 가변저항을 조향각으로 변환하여 제어할 수 있다. 또한 감마 보정을 통한 데이터 증강을 통해 빛에 대해 민감하지 않게 모델을 학습하였다. 추후 신호등 인식 시 HSV 필터가 빛에 민감한 점과 주행 시 가변저항 값이 일정하지 않은 점이 해결된다면 더욱 안정적인 시스템을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we present a prototype of view-switchable high-definition (HD) multi-view video transmission system. One of the major bottlenecks for the multi-view broadcasting system has been the hardware cost and transmission bandwidth. The proposed system focuses on software-based design, transmission over IP multicast networks, and flexible system configuration to address aforementioned problems. In the proposed system, we implement software stereo HD multiplexing, demultipiexing and decoding, and take advantage of high-speed broadband convergence networks to deliver HD video in real-time. Moreover, the proposed system can be scalable and flexible in terms of the number of views. Furthermore, in order to display any multiview video on 3D display monitor, a face tracking system is integrated to our system. Therefore, users can watch the different stereoscopic video at its related locations.

There have been various research efforts for pedestrian recognition in embedded imaging systems. However, many suffer from their heavy computational complexities. SVM classification method has been widely used for pedestrian recognition. The reduction of candidate region is crucial for low-complexity scheme. In this paper, We propose a real time HOG based pedestrian detection system on GPU which images are captured by a pair of cameras. To speed up humans on road detection, the proposed method reduces a number of detection windows with disparity-search and near-search algorithm and uses the GPU and the NVIDIA CUDA framework. This method can be achieved speedups of 20% or more compared to the recent GPU implementations. The effectiveness of our algorithm is demonstrated in terms of the processing time and the detection performance.

In generally, the resolution of reconstructed three-dimensional images can be seriously degraded by undesired occlusions in the integral imaging system, because the undesired information of the occlusion overlap the three-dimensional images to be reconstructed. To solve the problem of the undesired occlusion, we present an exemplar-based image restoration method in integral imaging system. In the proposed method, a minimum spanning tree-based stereo matching method is used to remove the region of undesired occlusions in each elemental image. After that, the removed occlusion region of each elemental images are re-established by using the exemplar-based image restoration method. For further improve the performance of the image restoration, the structure tensor is used to solve the filling error cause by discontinuous structures. Finally, the resolution enhanced three-dimensional images are reconstructed by using the restored elemental images. The preliminary experiments are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

A stereo PIV measurements in a circulating water channel has been performed to investigate the skin friction reduction mechanism of the outer-layer vertical blades first devised by Hutchins. In a recent PIV measurement study, considerable skin friction reduction was achieved as much as 2.73%~7.95% by outer-layer vertical blades array. In the present study, the influence of vertical blades array upon the characteristics of the turbulent coherent structures was analyzed by proper orthogonal decomposition method. It is observed that the vortical structures are cut and deformed by blades array and also the turbulent intensity and the Reynolds stress were weakened by the blades. These phenomena strongly associate the skin-friction drag reduction mechanism in the turbulent boundary layer flow.

In this paper, the three dimension scanner system employing the parallel camera model is discussed. The camera calibration process and the three dimension scanning algorithm are developed. The laser strip line is utilized for assisting stereo matching. An object being scanned rotates on the plate which is activated by a stepping motor, The world coordinate which is. the measured distance from the camera to the object is converted into the model coordinate. The facets created from the point. cloud of the model coordinate is used for rendering the scanned model by using the graphic library such as OpenGL. The unmatched points having no validate matching points are interpolated from the validate matching points of the vicinity epipolar lines.

In this paper, we propose the method that analyzes the depth of object using 2 images in the disparity algorithm.

The proposed system uses the vertical strip structure for calculating similar pixel numbers for the processing and converts the depth of object into gray scale images in order to be displayed on various display devices. The hardware using the proposed method is operating with 30 frames/sec and verified by using the Altera APEX 20K1000EBC652-3. The proposed method is also Implemented into It by using the Hynix 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CB35 ASIC library and 256PQFP package.

We presented a method to perform simultaneously both head-eye calibration and wheel calibration for a mobile robot that has a stereo camera mounted on the pan-tilt mechanism. Such a mobile robot system prevails recently. However, conventional methods are not applicable to this system because they assumed that camera systems were mounted on fixed structures. Building on conventional methods, we devised an iterative linear solution to solve the problem, and achieved satisfactory results in terms of accuracy in addition to efficiency due to simultaneous calibration. Furthermore, the calibration accuracy was improved by nonlinear optimization.
