Abstract:
An image processing apparatus may detect an occlusion boundary between objects within an input depth image by applying an edge detection algorithm to the input depth image. The image processing apparatus may classify the occlusion boundary into a foreground region boundary and a background region boundary using a depth gradient vector direction of the occlusion boundary, and may extract an occlusion region of the input depth image using the foreground region boundary.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for bidirectionally inpainting an occlusion area appearing during generation of a virtual viewpoint image, using a foreground area and a background area based on a predicted volume are provided. The method includes receiving an input of a depth image and a color image, the depth image having depth information for a first viewpoint, and the color image having color information for the first viewpoint, generating a virtual viewpoint image at a second viewpoint based on the depth image and the color image, separating the virtual viewpoint image into a foreground area and a background area, based on the depth information and direction information regarding a direction from the first viewpoint to the second viewpoint, predicting a three-dimensional (3D) volume of the foreground area, and inpainting an occlusion area bidirectionally using the foreground area and the background area, based on the predicted 3D volume, the occlusion area being included in the virtual viewpoint image.

Abstract:
Provided is a depth image unfolding apparatus and method that may remove a depth fold from a depth image to restore a three-dimensional (3D) image. The depth image unfolding apparatus may include an input unit to receive inputted multiple depth images with respect to the same scene, the multiple depth images being photographed based on different modulation frequencies of a fixed photographing device, a depth fold estimator to estimate a number of depth folds based on a distance between multiple three-dimensional (3D) points of multiple pixels indicating the same location of the scene in the multiple depth images, and an output unit to output the multiple depth images from which depth folds are removed based on the estimated number of depth folds.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a synthetic resin composition for use as building materials such as window frames, as well as a product manufactured using the same. More particularly, the synthetic resin composition comprises a tetrapolymer of acrylic rubber-styrene monomer-butadiene rubber-vinyl cyanide monomer and a styrene-vinyl cyanide copolymer having a high molecular weight and a high degree of dispersion. Unlike products manufactured using prior polyvinyl chloride (PVC), building material such as window frames manufactured using the synthetic resin composition are recyclable, and thus can contribute to a reduction in the generation of hormone-disrupting chemical dioxin, which is released in the burning thereof. Also, the resin composition can be manufactured into products having excellent properties of weather resistance and colorability without using environmental pollutants such as cadmium stearate or lead stearate, which are used as thermal stabilizers.
