摘要:
The present invention relates to a stereo image matching apparatus and method. The stereo matching apparatus includes a window image extraction unit for extracting window images, each having a predetermined size around a selected pixel, for individual pixels of images that constitute stereo images. A local support-area determination unit extracts a similarity mask having similarities equal to or greater than a threshold and a local support-area mask having neighbor connections to a center pixel of the similarity mask, from each of similarity images generated depending on differences in similarity between pixels of the window images. A similarity extraction unit calculates a local support-area similarity from a sum of similarities of a local support-area. A disparity selection unit selects a pair of window images for which the local support-area similarity is maximized, from among the window images, and then determines a disparity for the stereo images.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for creating animation by capturing the motions of a non-rigid object. The apparatus includes a geometry mesh reconstruction unit, a motion capture unit, and a content creation unit. The geometry mesh reconstruction unit receives moving images captured by a plurality of cameras, and generates a reconstruction mesh set for each frame. The motion capture unit generates mesh graph sets for the reconstruction mesh set and generates motion data, including motion information, using the mesh graph sets. The content creation unit creates three-dimensional (3D) content for a non-rigid object by generating a final transformation mesh set, having a topology similar to that of the reconstruction mesh set, using the motion data.

A multimedia application system uses metadata for sensory devices. The system includes: a sensory-device engine for generating a sensory device command (SDC) for controlling the sensory devices based on sensory effect information (SEI) generated to represent sensory effects by using the sensory devices depending on video contents, user preference information (UPI) of the sensory devices and device capability information (DCI) indicative of reproducing capability of the sensory devices; and a sensory-device controller for controlling sensory devices to perform sensory effect reproduction in response to the generated SDC.

A method of deforming a shape of a human body model includes the steps of reorganizing human body model data into a joint-skeleton structure-based Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surface model, generating statistical deformation information about control parameters of the NURBS surface model based on parameters of joints and key section curves for specific motions, and deforming the shape of the human body model based on the NURBS surface model and the statistical deformation information. The human body model data includes three-dimensional (3D) human body scan data and a 3D polygon mesh.

The present invention relates to a method of creating an animatable digital clone includes receiving input multi-view images of an actor captured by at least two cameras and reconstructing a three-dimensional appearance therefrom, accepting shape information selectively based on a probability of photo-consistency in the input multi-view images obtained from the reconstruction and transferring a mesh topology of a reference human body model onto a shape of the actor obtained from the reconstruction. The method further includes generating an initial human body model of the actor via transfer of the mesh topology utilizing sectional shape information of the actor's joints, and generating a genuine human body model of the actor from learning genuine behavioral characteristics of the actor by applying the initial human body model to multi-view posture learning images where performance of a predefined motion by the actor is recorded.
