This paper describes the general aspects of various visualization techniques employed for marine engineering research including classical naval architecture, ocean engineering and other related topics. Visualization techniques performed mostly by authors' were introduced here, which range from old fashioned methods such as paint and tuft tests to the newly emerging PIV technique and Sonar in broad sense. Brief explanation of each technique was made for the instruction purposes. It is strongly recommended that the interdisciplinary project with experts in other research areas is necessary in order to develop more advanced and profitable techniques.

In this paper, computational aeroacoustics (CAA) method is used for flow-noise analysis and flow-noise visualization. High order high resolution scheme of optimized high order compact is used to resolve the small acoustic quantities and large flow quantities at the same time. An adaptive nonlinear artificial dissipation model and generalized characteristic boundary condition are also used. Aeolion tone noise, cavity noise, and jet noise are investigated. The visualizations of flow-noise are successful and characteristics of noise are studied. It is observed that the propagation directivity of noise is different with that of flow. With the help of CAA method, the visualization of noise is possible.

GLOVE(GLObal Virtual reality visualization Environment for scientific simulation)는 컴퓨팅 자원의 성능 향상으로 데이터 양이 급속히 증가한 응용 과학과 전산 시뮬레이션 분야의 대용량 과학 데이터를 효율적으로 가시화하여 분석하기 위한 도구이다. GLOVE의 데이터 관리자인 GDM(GLOVE Data Manager)은 대용량 데이터의 분산 병렬 가시화를 위해 분산 공유 메모리를 제공하는 GA(Global Array)를 이용해 테라 바이트 단위의 데이터를 실시간으로 처리한다. 그러나 대용량 과학 데이터를 가시화 하는 과정에서 기존의 Data Locality를 고려하지 않은 데이터 접근 방식으로 인한 성능 저하를 확인했다. 본 논문은 기존 GLOVE에서 발견한 성능 저하 현상을 밝히고, 이에 대한 해결 방법을 제시한다.

The main difference between mono-volume rendering and multi-volume rendering is data intermixing. In this paper, we first propose a selective rendering method for fast visualizing specific volume according to the surface level and then present data intermixing method for multiple volumes. The selective rendering method is to generate distance transformed volume using a distance transform to determine the minimum distance to the nearest interesting part and then render it. The data intermixing method for multiple volumes is to combine several volumes using intensity weighted intermixing method, opacity weighted intermixing method, opacity weighted intermixing method with depth information and then render it. We show the results of selective rendering of left ventricle and right ventricle generated from EBCT cardiac images and of data intermixing for combining original volume and left ventricular volume or right ventricular volume. Our method offers a visualization technique of specific volume according to the surface level and an acceleration technique using a distance transformed volume and the effective visual output and relation of multiple images using three different intermixing methods in three-dimensional space.

In medical visualization, volume visualization is widely used. Applying 3D images to diagnose requires high resolution and accurately implement visualization techniques are being researched accordingly. However, when a three-dimensional image volume visualization is implemented using volume data, aliasing will occur since using discrete data. Supersampling method, getting lots of samples, is used to reduce artifacts. One of the supersampling methods is Catmull-rom spline. This method calculates accurate interpolation value because it is easy to compute and pass through control points. But, Catmull-rom spline method occurs overshoot or undershoot in large gradient of pixel values. So, interpolated values are different from original signal. In this paper, we propose an adaptive adjusting weights interpolation method using Gaussian function. Proposed method shows that overshoot is reduced on the point has a large gradient and PSNR is higher than other interpolated image results.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to implement a software to visualize tumor and its surrounding fiber tracts simultaneously using diffusion tensor imaging and examine the feasibility of our software for investigating the influence of tumor on its surrounding fiber connectivity. Material and Methods : MR examination including T1-weigted and diffusion tensor images of a patient with brain tumor was performed on a 3.0 T MRI unit. We used the skull-striped brain and segmented tumor images for volume/surface rendering and anatomical information from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Diffusion tensor images for the white matter fiber-tractography were acquired using a SE-EPI with a diffusion scheme of 25 directions. Fiber-tractography was performed using the streamline and tensorline methods. To correct a spatial mismatch between T1-weighted and diffusion tensor images, they were coregistered using a SPM. Our software was implemented under window-based PC system. Results : We successfully implemented the integrated visualization of the fiber tracts with tube-like surfaces, cortical surface and the tumor with volume/surface renderings in a patient with brain tumor. Conclusion : Our result showed the feasibility of the integrated visualization of brain tumor and its surrounding fiber tracts. In addition, our implementation for integrated visualization can be utilized to navigate the brain for the quantitative analysis of fractional anisotropy to assess changes in the white matter tract integrity of edematic and peri-edematic regions in a number of tumor patients.

컴퓨터에서 생성된 시뮬레이션의 결과는 일련의 가시화(VIsualization)라는 과정을 거치면서 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술이 적용됨으로써 인간이 해석하기 쉬운 형태로 변형되게 된다. 연구자가 직관적으로 이해하기 어려운 수치의 나열로 구성돼 있던 시뮬레이션 데이터가 보다 쉽게 이해하고 분석할 수 있게 되는 것이다. 그런데, 최근에는 고성능 컴퓨터(HPC)의 발달로 인해 시뮬레이션 데이터의 크기가 점점 더 증가하는 추세에 있으며, 데이터의 크기가 기가바이트를 넘어 테라바이트에 이르는 경우도 흔해지고 있다. 기존의 가시화 시스템에서 복잡해진 가시화 데이터를 면밀하게 해석하기에는 많은 제약이 따르며, 그로 인해 고해상도 디스플레이 장치나 몰입형 가상현실 장치의 도입은 필연적일 수밖에 없다. 특히 현 시점에서 클러스터 시스템을 이용한 고해상도의 디스플레이 장치에서 사용자와 상호작용할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하는 방법은 가상현실 환경을 적절히 활용하는 것이 거의 유일하다 할 수 있겠다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 데이터, 특히 로터 동역학 분야의 시뮬레이션 데이터를 가상현실 환경에서 가시화하고 제어하는데 필요한 프레임워크와 인터페이스를 소개할 것이다. 이 프레임워크는 가상현실 환경에서 로터 동역학 분야의 시뮬레이션 데이터와의 실시간 상호작용을 통한 해석을 수행하는데 필요한 기반환경을 제공할 것이다.

Recently as a scalable ultra-high-resolution display solution, networked tiled displays are realizing the simultaneous visualization of large number of media contents by dividing the processing (including decoding and rendering) and displaying tasks of display applications. However, users directly should know required resources in advance and directly choose machines for processing and displaying of media. In order to reduce the complexity, we propose new methods that analyze required resources for visualization of media and allocate the resources to processing machines. The usability of proposed method is verified by running several experiments over networked display system.

Three-dimensional volume rendering method which shows the inside of human body is widely used in medical imaging area. Existing medical imaging system using a volume rendering method already has provided a variety of three-dimensional results. Recently existing results in the medical imaging among physicians and patients to facilitate communication have been studied since smart device which has advantage of portability applied in the medical imaging. In this paper, we propose 3D volume visualization system for a relatively low spec portable smart devices by using 2D textures and we also implements 2D diagnostic images of portable medical imaging visualization system.
