Abstract

This study proposes a method of developing authoring tool that can easily and intuitively generate diverse digital leaves that compose virtual landscape. The main system of the proposed authoring tool consists of deformation method for the contour of leaf blade based on image warping, procedural modeling of leaf vein and visualization method based on mathematical model that expresses the color and brightness of leaves. First, the proposed authoring tool receives leaf input image and searches for contour information on the leaf blades. It then designs leaf blade deformation method that can generate diverse shapes of leaf blades in an intuitive structure using feature-based image warping. Based on the computed leaf blade contour, the system implements the generalized procedural modeling method suitable for the authoring tool that generates natural vein patterns appropriate for the leaf blade shape. Finally, the system applies visualization function that can express color and brightness of leaves and their changes over time using a mathematical model based on convolution sums of divisor functions. This paper provides texture support function so that the digital leaves that were generated using the proposed authoring tool can be used in a variety of three-dimensional digital contents field.

본 연구는 가상 조경을 구성하는 다양한 종류의 디지털 잎을 쉽고 직관적으로 제작할 수 있는 저작도구 개발방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 저작도구의 핵심 시스템은 영상 워핑기반의 잎몸 윤곽선 변형 방법, 잎맥의 절차적 모델링 그리고 잎의 색과 명암 등을 표현하기 위한 수리모델기반 시각화 방법으로 구성된다. 우선 잎 영상을 입력으로 받아 잎몸에 대한 윤곽선 정보를 찾고, 특징기반 영상 워핑을 활용하여 다양한 잎몸 형상을 직관적인 구조에서 쉽게 생성할 수 있는 잎몸 변형 방법을 설계한다. 그리고 계산된 잎몸 윤곽선을 기반으로 잎몸 형상에 적합한 자연스러운 잎맥 패턴을 생성하는 일반화된 절차적 모델링 방법을 저작도구에 맞게 구현한다. 마지막으로 약수 함수의 합성 기반의 수리모델을 활용하여 잎의 색, 명암 그리고 시간에 따른 변화를 표현할 수 있는 시각화 기능을 적용한다. 제안한 저작도구를 활용하여 제작된 디지털 잎이 다양한 3차원 디지털 콘텐츠 분야에 활용 가능하도록 텍스쳐 지원 기능을 제공한다.
