Abstract

Generating an epipolar image which is removed a y-parallax from an original image is an essential technique for creating a 3D stereoscopic model or producing a map. In epipolar image production, there is a method of generating epipolar images by estimating the relative orientation parameters after matching the extracted distinct points in two images and a method of generating epipolar images by using the baseline and rotation angles of the two images after determining the exterior orientation parameters In this study, it was proposed a methodology to generate epipolar images using direction cosine in the exterior orientation parameters of the input images, and a method to use the transformation matrix for easy calculation when converting from the original image to the epipolar image. The applicability of the proposed methodology was evaluated by using images taken from the fixed wing and rotary wing drones. As a result, it was found that epipolar images were generated regardless of the type of drones.

에피폴라 영상은 원 영상에서 y-시차를 제거한 영상으로 3차원 입체 모델을 생성하거나 지도를 제작하기 위해서 필수적인 기술이다. 에피폴라 영상 제작에는 두 영상에서 특징점을 정합한 후 상호표정요소를 추정하여 생성하는 방법과 외부표정요소를 결정한 후 두 영상의 기선과 회전각을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 입력 영상의 외부표정요소에서 방향코사인을 이용하여 에피폴라 영상을 제작하는 방법과 원 영상에서 에피폴라 영상으로 변환할 때 용이한 계산을 위하여 변환관계를 행렬을 이용하는 방법론을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법론의 적용성은 고정익과 회전익 드론에서 촬영한 영상을 이용하여 평가하였으며 그 결과 드론의 형태에 관계없이 에피폴라 영상이 적합하게 제작됨을 알 수 있었다.
