One of the major problems in GIS(Geographical Information Systems) involves acquiring 3-D terrain data. Because conventional methods such as land surveying or analysis of aerial photographs are costly, the method of using existing paper maps has been gaining considerable attention. This method demands three processing steps: 1) extraction of contours, 2) assignment of height values to the extracted contours, 3) reconstruction of 3-D terrain data. In this paper we systematically develop a procedure for acquiring 3-D terrain data from contour solutions. For the first two steps, we describe the necessary operations and roughly sketch solutions. For the last step, we propose an efficient raster-based algorithm and present the results of experiments with existing paper map images.

Networked virtual reality systems provide a consistent virtual world to the users, possibly distributed across long distances, and have been widely applied in the military, entertainment, and architectural areas. Large processing requirements, however, made these systems be mainly researched on the platforms of high-performance graphics workstations. This paper presents several problems when networked virtual reality systems are implemented on commodity PCs: two problems related with 3D graphical processing, and the other related with network bandwidth and transmission delay. We also suggest solutions to these problems and analyze their performance effect based on an architectural simulation application.

With the emergence of integrated global market and increased competition, many companies are interested in sharing the product model data. One of the solutions is to share the product model data over the computer network or the internet using a standard format. CAD/CAM, STEP, and internet technologies make it possible to share the product model data. This paper presents methods to visualize 3D STEP geometry data on the internet. To create an internet-based STEP model visualizer, the programming language Java and 3D scene description language VRML have been experimented. The STEP geometry data can be displayed either by Java applets of by a VRML browser. These visualization technologies are applied to a PDM development. Engineers who have a low cost web browser can share the expensive design information even at a remote site.

This study intends to examine extensively on the current situation where the full capacity of 3D CG is not being highlighted because of the lack of the information and the awareness and to look at how the virtual reality technology is being applied ranging from the design of the clothes to the marketing. A set of processes ranging from the development of the clothing design to the marketing will be performed on the web. Designers will design with 3D CG and make the patterns and will hand this over to the producer together with the virtual swatch. But there are important problems to work out. First, it is the problem of the virtual fitting room. Second, it is the absence of the 3D CG, which is easy and convenient for the clothing design. Third, it is to perfect the visual reconstruction. Fourth, it is the security of the distribution system. Fifth, it also calls for the strengthened internet network that can smooth the flow of the tremendous data. Consumer will be able to produce according to their needs and will become designer and producer at the same time, resulting in the achievement of the consumer-oriented marketing in real sense.

The 3D Delaunay triangulation is the most widely used method for the mesh creation via the triangulation of a 3D point cloud. However, the method involves a heavy computational cost and, hence, in many interactive applications, it is not appropriate for surface triangulation. In this paper, we propose an efficient triangulation method to create a surface mesh from a 3D point cloud. We divide a set of object points into multiple subsets and apply the 2D Delaunay triangulation to each subset. A given 3D point cloud is cut into slices with respect to the OBB(Oriented Bounding Box) of the point set. The 2D Delaunay triangulation is applied to each subset producing a partial triangulation. The sum of the partial triangulations constitutes the global mesh. As a postprocessing process, we eliminate false edges introduced in the split steps of the triangulation and improve the results. The proposed method can be effectively applied to various image-based modeling applications.

Consumer's needs, pursuing diverse lifestyles, can be identified systematically by the development of design research method with computer technologies. Color, which is the most important factor in industrial design, has been regarded as possessing difficulties in collecting and analyzing reliable data, because it has multi-dimensional features. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new research method for design and color preference investigation, and to provide the possibilities of applying this method into the traditional color research which has many limitations in time, space, and money. This paper emphasizes that the new method using visual and concrete 3D modeling of a product can enhance the reliability of collecting and analyzing data comparing with traditional linguistic and abstract one.

When triangular meshes are generated from the point clouds in global space reconstructed through camera pose estimation against captured RGB-D streams, the quality of the resulting meshes improves as more triangles are hired. However, for 3D reconstructed models beyond some size threshold, they become to suffer from the ugly-looking artefacts due to the insufficient precision of RGB-D sensors as well as significant burdens in memory requirement and rendering cost. In this paper, for the generation of 3D models appropriate for real-time applications, we propose an effective technique that extracts high-quality textures for moderate-sized meshes from the captured colors associated with the reconstructed point sets. In particular, we show that via a simple method based on the mapping between the 3D global space resulting from the camera pose estimation and the 2D texture space, textures can be generated effectively for the 3D models reconstructed from captured RGB-D image streams.

본 논문은 한 장 혹은 여러 장의 실세계의 사진 영상을 입력으로 받아 영상 기반 모델링 방법 중 하나인 영상 분할 모델링 방법을 통해 환경을 3차원으로 모델링을 하고 주어진 실세계 사진 영상을 비사실적 렌더링하여 환경 탐색시 환경맵으로 사용하도록 하여 비사실적 탐색 영상을 생성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 세밀한 3차원 환경 메쉬 모델을 생성하여 2차원 환경맵의 비사실적 랜더링 과정을 통해 비사실적 애니메이션 효과를 손쉽게 만들어 낼 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 환경맵의 비사실적 렌더링을 통한 환경 매핑방법으로 각 프레임 간의 유사성을 유지하며 렌더링하는 특징을 가지고 있어 자연스러운 비사실적 탐색 영상을 생성 할 수 있다.

본 논문은 여러 장의 이미지로부터 삼차원 모델을 빠르게 복원하기 위한 다각형 기반 Space Carving 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 복셀 carving 연산에 다각형 carving 연산을 추가하여 기존 복셀 carving 기법의 단점인 렌더링 품질의 저하와 느린 렌더링 속도 문제를 보완하였다. 따라서 복원된 모델은 다각형 구조를 가지며, 이로부터 텍스쳐 매핑을 이용한 빠른 속도의 고품질 렌더링 기법이 가능해진다. 또한 다각형 carving 후잉여 데이터를 삭제함으로써 복원된 모델의 품질 저하없이 메모리를 줄이고, 더욱 빠른 렌더링을 가능하게 한다.

In early stages of film or animation production, storyboard is used to visually describe the outline of a story. Drawings or photographs, as well as the texts, are employed for character / item placements and camera pose. However, commercially available storyboard tools are mainly drawing and editing tools, not providing functionality for item placement and camera control. In this paper, an Augmented Reality based storyboard tool is presented, which provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for storyboard development. Using the presented tool, non-expert users may compose 30 scenes in his or her real environments through tangible building blocks which are used to fetch corresponding 3D models and their pose.
