Abstract

General method for correcting the distortion caused by the characteristic of the fish-eye lens may be classified in two ways. The first method is a calibration method using a mathematical model taking into account the characteristics of the lens, the second method is a method using only the distortion correction image, regardless of the lens. When considering the characteristics of the lens, calibration equation can be calculated geometrically from the relationship between the three-dimensional real-world coordinates and two-dimensional image coordinates and the parameters of lens. However, it is not suitable for ellipsoid type lens, because of existing research papers have been corrected on the spherical-type fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting geometrically using fish-eye lens as an ellipsoid model. Through a calibration picture, it can be seen that the proposed method is valid.

어안렌즈의 특성으로 인해 발생하는 왜곡을 보정하는 일반적인 방법은 크게 두 가지 방법으로 분류할 수 있다. 첫 번째 방법은 렌즈의 특성을 고려한 수학적 모델링을 통한 보정 방법이고, 두 번째 방법은 렌즈의 종류와 상관없이 획득되는 영상만을 통한 보정 방법이다. 렌즈의 특성을 고려하는 경우는 렌즈의 파라미터와 실세계에 존재하는 3차원 실세계좌표와 2차원 영상좌표의 관계를 통해 기하학적으로 보정 식을 구할 수 있다. 그러나 기존 어안렌즈 보정에 관한 논문들은 구형태의 어안렌즈를 기준으로 유도되었기 때문에 타원체 형태의 어안렌즈에 대해서는 맞지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 어안렌즈를 타원체로 모델링하여 기하학적으로 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 보정한 결과를 통해 제안한 방법이 타당한 것을 확인할 수 있다.
