Shadows are important elements for realistic rendering of the 3D scene. We cannot recognize the distance of objects in the 3D scene without shadows. Two methods, image-based medthods and object-based methods, are largely used for the rendering of shadows. Object based methods can generate accurate shadow boundaries. However, it cannot be used to generate the realtime shadows because the time complexity defends on the complexity of the 3D scene. Image based methods which are techniques to generate shadows are widely used because of fast calculation time. However, this algorithm has aliasing problems. PCF is a method to solve the aliasing problem. Using PCF technique, antialiased shadow boundaries can be generated. However, PCF with large filter size requires more time to calculate antialiased shadow boundaries. This paper proposes an improved PCF technique which generates antialiased shadow boundaries similar to that of PCF. Compared with PCF, this technique can generate antialiased shadows in less time.

We suggest the dynamic stroke generation algorithm that provides frame-to-frame coherence in 3D non-photorealistic animations. We use 3D particle system to eliminate the visual popping effect in the animated scene. Since we have located particles on the 3D object's surface, the coherence is maintained when the object or the camera is moving in the scene. Also, this algorithm maintains the coherence when camera is zooming in/out. However, the brush strokes on the surface also zoom in/out. This result(too large or too small brush strokes) can not represent hand-crafted brush strokes. To remove this problem, we suggest stroke generation algorithm that dynamically maintains the number of brush stroke and its size during camera zoom in/out.

Web상에서 구현되는 대부분의 3차원 그래픽 객체는 특정한 사용자의 요구에 따라 원하는 행동을 수행하지 못한다. 단순히 물체에 대한 3차원적인 모습만 보일 뿐, 물체의 기능 등을 web상에서 보이는 데는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 영상으로부터 직접 3차원 모델을 손쉽게 구축하기 위한 영상기반 모델링 도구에서, 사용자의 입력에 따라 설정된 애니메이션 등 3차원 그래픽 객체에 대한 사용자 interaction을 지원할 수 있는 메커니즘 및 개발 방법에 대하여 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 사진 이미지를 이용하여 사용자가 직관적으로 이미지상의 3차원 물체의 특이점을 바탕으로 대화적 방법을 이용하여 메쉬를 생성하고 렌더링을 거쳐 3차원 모델로 완성시키는 캐릭터 개발 도구에 대해 기술한다. 3차원 물체를 모델링하는 데에는 CAD 분야에서 많이 쓰이는 것과 같이 기하학적 모델링을 근거로 하여 개발된 많은 3차원 그래픽 도구를 이용하여 정교한 모델을 구성하는 방법도 있겠지만 응용에 따라서는 정교한 구성보다는 짧은 시간에 쉽게 모델링과 애니메이션 장면을 구성하는 방법이 필요할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 응용 분야에서 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 도구의 개발 과정을 설명한다.

In this paper, a new stereo object tracking system using the disparity motion vector is proposed. In the proposed method, the time-sequential disparity motion vector can be estimated from the disparity vectors which are extracted from the sequence of the stereo input image pair and then using these disparity motion vectors, the area where the target object is located and its location coordinate are detected from the input stereo image. Being based on this location data of the target object, the pan/tilt embedded in the stereo camera system can be controlled and as a result, stereo tracking of the target object can be possible. From some experiments with the 2 frames of the stereo image pairs having 256$\times$256 pixels, it is shown that the proposed stereo tracking system can adaptively track the target object with a low error ratio of about 3.05$\%$ on average between the detected and actual location coordinates of the target object.

Recognition of 3D objects using computer vision is complicated by the fact that geometric features vary with view orientation. An important factor in designing recognition algorithms in such situations is understanding the variation of certain critical features. The features selected in this paper are the angles between landmarks in a scene. In a class of polyhedral objects the angles at certain vertices may form a distinct and characteristic alignment of faces. For many other classes of objects it may be possible to identify distinctive spacial arrangements of some readily identifiable landmarks. In this paper given an isotropic view orientation and an orthographic projection the two dimensional joint density function of two angles in a scene is derived. Also the joint density of all defining angles of a polygon in an image is derived. The analytic expressions for the densities are useful in determining statistical decision rules to recognize surfaces and objects. Experiments to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed methods are reported. Results indicate that the method is useful and powerful.

This paper presents a new system which produces high resolution 3D contents by capturing multiview images of an object using multiple cameras, and estimating geometric and texture information of the object from the captured images. Even though a variety of multiview image-based 3D reconstruction systems have been proposed, it was difficult to generate high resolution 3D contents because multiview image-based 3D reconstruction requires a large amount of memory and computation. In order to reduce computational complexity and memory size for 3D reconstruction, the proposed system predetermines the regions in input images where an object can exist to extract object boundaries fast. And for fast computation of a visual hull, the system represents silhouettes and 3D-2D projection/back-projection relations by chain codes and 1D homographies, respectively. The geometric data of the reconstructed object is compactly represented by a 3D segment-based data format which is called DoCube, and the 3D object is finally reconstructed after 3D mesh generation and texture mapping are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed system produces 3D object contents of $800{\times}800{\times}800$ resolution with a rate of 2.2 seconds per frame.

This paper deals with interaction between two bubbles or particles and flow around them, visualized by a moving object flow image analyzer(MOFIA) consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) moving object image analyzer(MOIA) and two-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV). The experiments were carried out for rising bubbles or particles of various densities, sizes, and/or shapes in stagnant water in a vertical pipe. In the MOFIA employed, 3D-MOIA was used to measure particles or bubbles motion and PIV was used to measure fluid flow, The experimental results showed that the interaction was characterized by the shape, size and density of two particles or bubbles.

Recently, the interest of 3D contents are increased and viewers demand a variety of 3D contents. In such circumstances, underwater 3D contents are an alternative to meet the demands of viewers. Cause that underwater mass density is 1.33 times that in air the objects in underwater is bigger and closer in real. Therefore it needs to modify the distance between cameras, the distance to objects and the convergence value. In this paper, we present the method to set optimal depth values with the particularities of underwater space. In addition, through the case of underwater 3D production we present the method of underwater 3D contents development. We expect that a lot of material with colorful, variety marine organism in underwater will be made of 3D contents.
