    "Shape from focus or defocus" has been known as one of the 3-D shape reconstruction techniques, which estimates depth information from a set of multi-focus images of a target object. However, the technique suffers from the disadvantage that the luminance variation between adjacent blocks severely affects a focusing measure used for the depth estimation, causing accuracy degradation in the target model. To alleviate the problem, this paper proposes a new technique which adaptively selects three kinds of high-pass filters for the calculation of the focusing measure based on the evaluation of the single/multi-peak behavior of the focusing measure. The proposed technique has been applied to artificial models and actual images to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed technique.

    TOMBO (Thin Observation Module by Bound Optics) is a compact three-dimensional camera, which is composed of a single image sensor and a micro-lens array. Compound-eye images include depth information of the subjects as disparities. In this paper, an occlusion-tolerant depth estimation method based on an adaptive support-weight approach and camera selection is presented.

    Image-based rendering is a technique for free-viewpoint image generation from multi-view images. Ray-Space method was proposed as a typical method of image-based rendering, and free-viewpoint image generation generally requires ray interpolation. The quality of free-viewpoint image depends on the accuracy of a ray interpolation in Ray-Space. In this paper, we propose a robust ray interpolation method for coarse-sampled Ray-Space. The proposed method interpolates ray by hough transformation using the straight line structure of Epipolar-Plane Image (EPI).

    Movie, or motion picture is conventionally composed of the sequence of still images. However, the photo receptor cells on the retina in our eye sight system asynchronously emit the signal, followed by the image recognition in visual cortex based on asynchronous photo signal. In this paper, the author describes the idea to deal independent, asynchronous time axis for each pixel, as well as the preliminary simulation results for generating binary movie. The author also discuss the application and implementation of the proposed idea.

    We have been investigating active sensing using modulated light which removes influence of environmental-light change and detects objects high-precisely. Smart image sensor which we already designed and implemented has two capacitors in a pixel circuit. It apportions and accumulates electric charges for each capacitor alternately. The influence of environmental light change can be removed by synchronizing timing between integration of electric charges and switching of modulated light followed by subtraction of two values outside the image sensor. In this paper, we explain the prototype of real-time object detection system and its evaluation. As a result, we confirm the effectiveness of this system. We also describe a smart image sensor newly designed for accuracy improvement.

    In lip reading for Japanese language, consonant recognition is a still difficult problem. We are assuming that timing of temporal change of the feature generated from each frame has critical information to discriminant Japanese consonants. In this work, we proposed a simple novel feature for consonant recognition, and fed it to clustering process evaluating purity of the clustering and the possibility of discrimination in the feature space.

    In the forest survey, it is often that a researcher refers to a map and past archival records while performing a field work. However, the data which was researched in the past is stored as numerical values, and it is used not concurrently with the image photographed on the site. Therefore, this study develops the forest survey support system which exploits a portable terminal with a camera and supports the technology of the augmented reality. Such an equipment allows the researcher to grasp all the information by superimposing the virtual reality based on archival data with the display of verity environment. Additionally, geometric position adjustment is done between fish-eye photo photographed on the site and tree surveying data.
