    摘要: Provided is a camera self-calibration method that calculates a focal length of a fixed zoom lens camera from a correspondence point position between images. In the method, a cost function, which is a function of a focal length, is defined, and a focal length that minimizes the defined cost function is obtained to obtain a focal length that allows 3D recovery results of correspondence points calculated from all image pairs coincide with one another. Therefore, reliability of the calculated focal length can be easily verified, and the focal length of the camera can be stably calculated even when the position of input correspondence point is inaccurately given.

    摘要: A head motion tracking method for three-dimensional facial model animation, the head motion tracking method includes acquiring initial facial motion to be fit to an image of a three-dimensional model from an image inputted by a video camera; creating a silhouette of the three-dimensional model and projecting the silhouette; matching the silhouette created from the three-dimensional model with a silhouette acquired by a statistical feature point tracking scheme; and obtaining a motion parameter for the image of the three-dimensional model through motion correction using a texture to perform three-dimensional head motion tracking. In accordance with the present invention, natural three-dimensional facial model animation based on a real image acquired with a video camera can be performed automatically, thereby reducing time and cost.

    摘要: A multi-view camera color calibration method using a color checker chart, includes measuring a brightness range of photographic data being input from multiple cameras; photographing the color checker chart for each camera and adjusting a brightness value of the chart to be within the brightness range of an input image of each camera; correcting brightness of each camera by using a gray patch of the checker chart; modeling a relationship between a color value of the checker chart obtained by each camera and a standard color value provided by the color checker chart; and correcting differences in color as a result of the modeling, to calibrate colors among the multiple cameras. Therefore, the three-dimensional information of a moving object for photography which cannot be photographed by moving only one camera is capable of being restored.

    摘要: Disclosed is a technology for measuring a degree of accuracy of a 3D graphical model by using images. The technology includes creating camera parameters by calculating a position, a direction, and intrinsic parameters of a camera through a calibration of the camera to a reference image which is photographed for reference during creation of the 3D graphical model of an actually existing object; calculating a position and a direction of the 3D graphical model based on a corresponding relation between the reference image and 3D graphical model data obtained by digitizing the actually existing object; creating a synthesized image by rendering the 3D graphical model using the camera parameters; extracting characteristics of the reference image and the synthesized image; and calculating distance and length errors based on a corresponding relation between the extracted characteristics of the two images.

    摘要: A method for creating a 3D face model by using multi-view image information, includes: creating a mesh structure for expressing an appearance of a 3D face model by using a first multi-view image obtained by capturing an expressionless face of a performer; and locating joints of a hierarchical structure in the mesh structure, by using a second multi-view image obtained by capturing an expression performance of the performer. Further, the method includes creating a 3D face model that is animated to enable reproduction of a natural expression of the performer, by setting dependency between the joints and the mesh structure.
