본 논문은 현미경이나 카메라 영상 등의 실시간 영상을 이용한 변형체(deformable object)의 햅틱 렌더링을 구현하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 이는 저속으로 변형하는 물체의 영상정보를 실시간으로 추출하여, 그에 대한 영상처리를 통해 변형과 이동에 대한 위치 정보를 제공함으로써 이루어진다. 물체에 변형이 가해지면 카메라를 통해 컴퓨터로 그 영상이 전송되며 얻어진 영상은 스네이크 알고리즘의 영상처리 과정을 거쳐 이차원 모델 구현을 위한 위치정보를 제공한다. 이 가상모델에 대한 햅틱 렌더링을 구현하여 햅틱장치에 힘 피드백을 주게 되며, 안정적인 햅틱 렌더링의 구현을 위해 보간법(interpolation) 및 보외법(extrapolation)을 적용하여 모델과 햅틱장치간의 샘플링 문제를 해결한다. 그래픽 렌더링 또한 구현하여 조작의 용이함을 제공한다.

This paper presents a physically-based haptic rendering algorithm for a deformable object based on visual information about the intervention between a tool and a real object in a remote place. The physically-based model of a deformable object is created from the mechanical properties of the object and the captured image obtained with a CCD camera. When a slave system exerts manipulation tasks on a deformable object, the reaction force for haptic rendering is computed using boundary element method. Snakes algorithm is used to obtain the geometry information of a deformable object. The proposed haptic rendering algorithm can provide haptic feedback to a user without using a force transducer in a teleoperation system.

This paper presents an efficient modeling system of virtual pottery in which the user can deform a body of virtual clay with a haptic tool for E-learning. We propose a Circular Sector Element Method (CSEM) which represents the virtual pottery with a set of circular sector elements based on the cylindrical symmetry of pottery. Efficient algorithms for collision detection and response, interactions between adjacent elements, and GPU-based visual-haptic synchronization are designed and implemented for the CSEM. Empirical evaluation showed that the modeling system is computationally efficient with finer details and provides convincing model deformation and force feedback. The developed system, if combined with educational contents, is expected to be used as an effective E-learning platform for elementary school students.

As various haptic algorithms and haptic equipments have developed, the computer simulation includes the haptic simulation. Basically, the haptic simulation requires very fast refresh rate approximately 1000 Hz. The traditional haptic simulations have satisfied that requirement by simplifying the target model. In soft body simulation, simplifying the deformation is not good because the visual feedback is important. Separating haptic model from deformable model can be solution of that problem. However, the user may feel a subtle distiction because the relationship between two models are not clear. In this paper, we propose the hybrid model to manipulate haptic rendering and deformation and define the relationship between two models.

Haptic rendering is a process providing force feedback during interactions between a user and a virtual object. This paper presents a real-time haptic rendering technique for deformable objects based on visual information of intervention between a tool and a real object in a remote place. A user can feel the artificial reaction force through a haptic device in real-time when a slave system exerts manipulation tasks on a deformable object. The models of the deformable object and the manipulator are created from the captured image obtained with a CCD camera and the recognition of objects is achieved using image processing techniques. The force at a rate of 1 kHz for stable haptic interaction is deduced using extrapolation of forces at a low update rate. The rendering algorithm developed was tested and validated on a test platform consisting of a one-dimensional indentation device and an off-the shelf force feedback device. This software system can be used in a cellular manipulation system providing artificial force feedback to enhance a success rate of operations.

Research combining deep learning-based models and physical simulations is making important advances in the medical field. This extracts the necessary information from medical image data and enables fast and accurate prediction of deformation of the skeleton and soft tissue based on physical laws. This study proposes a system that integrates Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), Position-Based Dynamics (PBD), and Parallel Resampling to generate 3D volume data, and deform and visualize them in real-time. NeRF uses 2D images and camera coordinates to produce high-resolution 3D volume data, while PBD enables real-time deformation and interaction through physics-based simulation. Parallel Resampling improves rendering efficiency by dividing the volume into tetrahedral meshes and utilizing GPU parallel processing. This system renders the deformed volume data using ray casting, leveraging GPU parallel processing for fast real-time visualization. Experimental results show that this system can generate and deform 3D data without expensive equipment, demonstrating potential applications in engineering, education, and medicine.

This paper presents a fast modeling technique of virtual pottery using force feedback based on a circular sector element method. Previous techniques for simulating deformable objects such as finite element method (FEM) are limited in real-time haptic rendering due to their complexity and expensive computational cost. In our model, circular sector elements which fully represent features of pottery's shape are closely gathered and piled together. This allows efficient deformable object modeling through a decrease in the number of elements and reducing computational cost.

This paper presents an image-space algorithm to real-time collision detection, which is run completely by GPU. For a single object or for multiple objects with no collision, the front and back faces appear alternately along the view direction. However, such alternation is violated when objects collide. Based on these observations, the algorithm propose the depth peeling method which renders the minimal surface of objects, not whole surface, to find colliding. The Depth peeling method utilizes the state-of-the-art functionalities of GPU such as framebuffer object, vertexbuffer object, and occlusion query. Combining these functions, multi-pass rendering and context switch can be done with low overhead. Therefore proposed approach has less rendering times and rendering overhead than previous image-space collision detection. The algorithm can handle deformable objects and complex objects, and its precision is governed by the resolution of the render-target-texture. The experimental results show the feasibility of GPU-based collision detection and its performance gain in real-time applications such as 3D games.

In this paper, we propose a new GPU-based framework for quickly calculating adaptive and continuous SDF(Signed distance fields), and examine cases related to rendering/collision processing using them. The quadtree constructed from the triangle mesh is transferred to the GPU memory, and the Euclidean distance to the triangle is processed in parallel for each thread by using it to find the shortest continuous distance without discontinuity in the adaptive grid space. In this process, it is shown through experiments that the cut-off view of the adaptive distance field, the distance value inquiry at a specific location, real-time raytracing, and collision handling can be performed quickly and efficiently. Using the proposed method, the adaptive sign distance field can be calculated quickly in about 1 second even on a high polygon mesh, so it is a method that can be fully utilized not only for rigid bodies but also for deformable bodies. It shows the stability of the algorithm through various experimental results whether it can accurately sample and represent distance values in various models.

The latest volumetric technology's high geometrical accuracy and realism ensure a high degree of correspondence between the real object and the captured 3D model. Nevertheless, since the 3D model obtained in this way constitutes a sequence as a completely independent 3D model between frames, the consistency of the model surface structure (geometry) is not guaranteed for every frame, and the density of vertices is very high. It can be seen that the interconnection node (Edge) becomes very complicated. 3D models created using this technology are inherently different from models created in movie or video game production pipelines and are not suitable for direct use in applications such as real-time rendering, animation and simulation, and compression. In contrast, our method achieves consistency in the quality of the volumetric 3D model sequence by linking re-meshing, which ensures high consistency of the 3D model surface structure between frames and the gradual deformation and texture transfer through correspondence and matching of non-rigid surfaces. And It maintains the consistency of volumetric 3D model sequence quality and provides post-processing automation.
