In the common practice of air-photographing measurement aerial-photogrammetric, the location of camera at the time of photographing is identified by performing aerotriangulation. However, installing ground-base station to enable aerotriangulation takes majority portion of a map making cost. Aerial-photogrammetric has shown a great improvement helped by steady upgrading in equipment and development in quantitative study. Aerotriangulation can be replaced by Direct Georeferencing, which uses GPS/INS to identify a camera location and to produce detailed information. An innovative technique replacing aerotriangulation, it has a disadvantage that base station has to be available in the area of photographing. The study intends to suggest a method applying VRS in GPS/INS aerotriangulation. Despite the fact that Direct Georeferencing is the innovated technique which substitutes existing aerotriangulation, it still need to install the ground-base station in GPS/INS aerotriangulation. GPS/INS data was analyzed with 4 different cases in order to accomplish the purpose of this study. In addition, in the thesis, it was approved that VRS can be utilized to make small-scale map as accurate as base station. This study is expected to improve the efficiency of work by showing that VRS can be used not only in base station but also enabling base station in the ground-access challenging area.

This paper develops a logical simulation method for by dyversity of situations. Most existing systems, for example, games and infant tutoring systems lead users to virtual environment with unfolding situations, but are not designed to induce the change of the environment itself. In this paper, a logically simulated environment is created by defining situations and single events based on situation hierarchy structure. We elaborate the occurrence of events by classifying the causality. The occurrence or natural phenomena is dictated by physical laws and natural phenomena are expressed as the transition of the event based on event association. Specifically we define the source of the event for natural phenomena and we consider the existence of objects as a primary factor in event occurrence. The advantages of this approach include the reuse of events, that is, different events can be generated in the same flow with fresh conditions. This allows us to implement a more practical and logical environment. A drawback to this method is the difficulty in dividing a situation into events. The proposed method was implemented in the context of the change of season among natural phenomena.

A variety of VR contents are being introduced as of 2017. VR contents are concentrated in the genre of games and interactive because of the difficulty of $360^{\circ}$ shooting production environment. Live action $360^{\circ}$ VR content has many problems due to the difficulty of the production environment. In this paper, a three - dimensional information value is generated in binocular disparity of a real image by using a re-light technique based on real image data. The generated 3D information values are combined with a technique of converting the depth information into a depth map and a re-light technique by installing virtual lighting on the surface formed in the 3D space. In order to solve the problem of lighting exposure, we apply the technique of re-lighting to the VR production pipeline by comparing and analyzing the result image of actual image and virtual image data.

There are always much concern about the leakage of radiation materials in the event of dismantle or unexpected accident of nuclear power plant. In order to remove the leakage of radiation materials, appropriate dispersion detection techniques for radiation materials are necessary. However, because direct handling of radiation materials is highly restricted and risky, developing radiation-related techniques needs computer simulation in advance to evaluate the feasibility. In this paper, we propose a radiation imaging technique which can acquire 3D dispersion information of radiation materials and tested by simulation. Using two virtual 1D radiation sensors, we obtain stereo radiation images and acquire the 3D depth to virtual radiation materials using stereo disparity. For point and plane type virtual radiation materials, the possibility of the acquisition of stereo radiation image and 3D information are simulated.

A computer supported collaborative system provides with a shared virtual workspace over the Internet where its remote users cooperate in order to achieve their goals by overcoming problems caused by distance and time. VRMMS (Virtual Reality Molecular Modeling System) [1] is a VR based collaborative system where biologists can remotely participate in and exercise molecular modeling tasks such as viewing three dimensional structures of molecular models, confirming results of molecular simulations and providing with feedbacks for the next simulations. Biologists can utilize VRMMS in executing molecular simulations. However, first-time users and beginners need to spend some time for studying and practicing in order to skillfully manipulate molecular models and the system. The best way to resolve the problem is to have a face-to-face session of teaching and learning VRMMS. However, it is not practically recommended in the sense that the users are remotely located. It follows that the learning time could last longer than desired. In this paper, we propose to use Second Life [2] combining with VRMMS for removing the problem. It can be used in building a shared workplace over the Internet where molecular simulations using VRMMS can be exercised, taught, learned and practiced. Through the web, users can collaborate with each other using VRMMS. Their avatars and tools of molecular simulations can be remotely utilized in order to provide with senses of 'being there' to the remote users. The users can discuss, teach and learn over the Internet. The shared workspaces for discussion and education are designed and implemented in Second Life. Since the activities in Second Life and VRMMS are designed to realistic, the system is expected to help users in improving their learning and experimental performances.

In MMORPGs(Massively Multi-player Online Role-Playing Games) a large number of players actively interact with one another in a virtual world. Therefore MMORGs must be able to quickly process real-time access requests and process requests from numerous gaming users. A key challenge is that the workload of the game server increases as the number of gaming users increases. To address this workload problem, many developers apply with distributed server architectures which use dynamic map partitioning and load balancing according to the server function. Therefore most MMORPG servers partition a virtual world into zones and each zone runs on multiple game servers. These methods cause of players frequently move between game servers, which imposes high overhead for data updates. In this paper, we propose a new architecture that apply with an arithmetic server dedicated to data operation. This architecture enables the existing game servers to process more access and job requests by reducing the load. Through mathematical modeling and experimental results, we show that our scheme yields higher efficiency than the existing ones.

Virtual reality that we have seen from the movies in 80's and 90's is hawing near based on the rapid progress of science together with a computer technology. Various virtual reality system developments (such as VRML, HMD FishTank, Wall Type, CAVE Type, and so on) and the advancement of those systems make for the embodiment of virtual reality that gives more sense of the real. Virtual reality is so immersive that makes people feel like they are in that environment and enable them to manipulate without experiencing the environment at first hand that is hard to experience in reality. Virtual reality can be applied to the spheres, such as education, high-level programming, remote control, surface exploration of the remote satellite, analysis of exploration data, scientific visualization, and so on. For some connote examples, there are training of a tank and an aeroplane operation, fumiture layout design, surgical operation practice, game, and so on. In these virtual reality systems, the actual operation of the human participant and virtual workspace are connected each other to the hardware that stimulates the five senses adequately to lend the sense of the immersion. There are still long way to go, however, before long it will be possible to have the same feeling in the virtual reality as human being can have by further study and effort. In this thesis, the basic definition, the general idea, and the kind of virtual reality were discussed. Especially, CAVE typed in reality that is highly immersive was analyzed in definition, and then the method of VR programming and modeling in the virtual reality system were suggested by showing the restoration process of Kyongbok Palace (as the content of the original form of the culture) that was made by KISTI(Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information) in 2003 through design process in virtual reality system. Through these processes, utilization of the immersive virtual reality system was discussed and how to take advantage of this CAVE typed virtual reality system at the moment was studied. In closing the problems that had been exposed in the process of the restoration of the cultural property were described and the utilization plan of the virtual reality system was suggested.

Recently, the virtual construction system in which project participants efficiently share and control the information throughout the life-cycle of construction project using 3D object models is being developed all over the world. In this paper, a design of interface between 3D object model of structures and structural analysis system that is essential for the analysis and design of civil structures in the virtual space is treated. The relation parametric modeling technique that is needed to make the 3D object models and the construction method of product breakdown structure(PBS) that considers the several parameters for the structural analysis are presented. PBS is built so that it is possible to extract needed attribute information from 3D object model and to apply it to the structural analysis. Design methodology for interface program is proposed that several numerical values determined by the cooperative work same as structural analysis are delivered to 3D object models without additional work. An interface program between 3D object models and structural analysis system developed based on the proposed method would be effectively used to develop virtual construction system.

This paper concerns extracting 3D motion information from a 3D input device in real time focused to enabling effective human-computer interaction. In particular, we develop a novel algorithm for extracting 6 degrees-of-freedom motion information from a 3D input device by employing an epipolar geometry of stereo camera, color, motion, and structure information, free from requiring the aid of camera calibration object. To extract 3D motion, we first determine the epipolar geometry of stereo camera by computing the perspective projection matrix and perspective distortion matrix. We then incorporate the proposed Motion Adaptive Weighted Unmatched Pixel Count algorithm performing color transformation, unmatched pixel counting, discrete Kalman filtering, and principal component analysis. The extracted 3D motion information can be applied to controlling virtual objects or aiding the navigation device that controls the viewpoint of a user in virtual reality setting. Since the stereo vision-based 3D input device is wireless, it provides users with a means for more natural and efficient interface, thus effectively realizing a feeling of immersion.

Captured human motion data has been widely utilized for understanding the mechanism of human motion and synthesizing the animation of virtual characters. Searching for desired motions from given motion data is an important prerequisite of analyzing and editing those selected motions. This paper presents a new method of content-based motion retrieval without the need of additional metadata such as keywords. While existing search methods have focused on skeletal configurations of body pose or planar trajectories of locomotion, our method receives a three-dimensional trajectory as its input query and retrieves a set of motion intervals in which the trajectories of body parts such as hands, foods, and pelvis are similar to the input trajectory. In order to allow the user to intuitively sketch spatial trajectories, we used the Leap Motion controller that can precisely trace finger movements as the input device for our experiments. We have evaluated the effectiveness of our approach by conducting a user study in which the users search for dozens of pre-selected motions from baseketball motion data including a variety of moves such as dribbling and shooting.
