In this paper, we consider a representative integral imaging method in glasses-free 3D image processing and propose a prioritized transmission scheme for guaranteeing a received video quality in error-prone environments. According to the correlation of pixels consisting of each voxel of integral image, we set the priority differently and apply the modulation level according to this priority value. That is to say, the corresponding pixels with small variance are set to a high priority and transmitted by using a low level modulation that is robust under transmission errors, but the corresponding pixels with greater variance are set to a lower priority and transmitted by using a high level modulation that has a high bit error rate but fast transmission rate. Result shows that the proposed scheme that applies the error-robust modulation level to the important image bit stream with the high priority improves the peak to sidelobe ratio (PSR) of the received 3D image, compared with a typical method that use the same modulation level without distinction of priorities.

We present an algorithm that computes a 3 dimensional Voronoi diagram for a protein molecule in this paper. The molecule is represented as a set of spheres with van der Waals radii. The Voronoi diagram is constructed in the 3D space by finding the voxels containing it. For the feasibility of the computation, we represent the molecule as a BVH (bounding volume hierarchy), and our system is accelerated by modern graphics hardware with CUDA programming support. Compared to single-core CPU implementations, experimental results show 323 times faster performance in the computation time, when the space is partitioned into $2^{24}$ voxels.

When a fixed-sized memory allocation method is used for sparse volume data, a considerable memory space is in general wasted, which becomes more serious for a large volume of high resolution. In this paper, in order to reduce such unnecessary memory consumption, we propose a volume representation method to store mostly voxels that represent valid information rather than all voxels in a fixed volume space. Then our method is compared with the conventional static memory allocation method, an octree-based representation, and a voxel hashing method in terms of memory usage and computation speed. In particular, we compare the proposed method and the voxel hashing method with respect to implementation of the GPU-based Marching Cubes algorithm.

3차원 볼륨데이터에서 분할 대상영역의 밝기 값이 다양하면서 밝기 값이 유사한 영역과 인접한 경우 3차원 영역확장(region growing) 방법을 사용하여 영역을 분할하기 위해서는 영역확장의 중요한 요인인 동질성 기준 값의 적절한 선택이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 영역 복셀(voxel)의 1차 미분 값의 크기인 기울기 크기(gradient magnitude)만으로 영역의 경계를 찾기가 쉽지않은 대상의 분할을 위해 볼륨데이터의 지역적인 밝기 값의 변화의 특징을 고려하면서 분할 대상영역의 복셀의 2차 미분(second partial derivation)을 행렬의 요소(element)로 갖는 Hessian 행렬의 고유치(eigenvalue)를 영역확장의 문턱치 결정에 이용하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 3차원 영역확장의 결과에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 적절한 문턱치의 선택으로 대상영역의 분할을 성공적으로 수행하여 3차원 영역확장의 단점을 보완하였다.

This paper describes the construction of a static 3D ultrasonography image by tracking the radiation beam position during the handy operation of a 1D array probe to enable point-of-care use. The theoretical model of the transformation from the translational and rotational information of the sensor mounted on the probe to the reference Cartesian coordinate system was given. The signal amplification and serial communication interface module was made using a commercially available sensor. A test phantom was also made using silicone putty in a donut shape. During the movement of the hand-held probe, B-mode movie and sensor signals were recorded. B-mode images were periodically selected from the movie, and the gray levels of the pixels for each image were converted to the gray levels of 3D voxels. 3D and 2D images of arbitrary cross-section of the B-mode type were also constructed from the voxel data, and agreed well with the shape of the test phantom.

In this research we present a method to reconstruct the casting flow simulation result as a 3D model and visualize it on a VR display. First, numerical analysis of heat flow is performed using an existing commercial CAE simulation software. In this process the shape of the original design model is approximated to a regular rectangular grid. The filling ratio and temperature of each voxel are recorded iteratively by predefined number of steps starting from pouring the melted metal into a mold until it is entirely filled. Next we reconstruct the casting by voxels using the simulation result as an input. The color of voxel is determined by mapping the colors to temperature and filling ratio at each step as the flow proceeds. The reconstructed model is visualized on the Projection Table which is one of horizontal-type VR display. It provides active stereoscopic images.

This paper aims at reducing aliasing in pixel-based rendering for 3D implicit surfaces by shifted multi Z-buffers. The voxelized implicit surfaces with high resolution take so much time in generating high Quality image without aliasing. So in rendering a voxelized implicit surfaces, a new antialiasing method which can generate a high quality image at a lower resolution is required. Therefore, this paper suggests that a method which get various sampling values by shifting several z-buffers in each voxel and average them, The advantages are effective memory, simple calculation and easy convergence with various filters. But, the increase of number of z-buffer also increase the consuming time rapidly. Therefore, the research for representing the relation the degree of image quality with the consumption of time as a number is required.

This paper aims at presenting high quality at low resolution apply by a new antialiasing method for voxelized implicit surfaces. Implicit surfaces create a unique type of 3D-modeling. Some use of implicit surfaces are scientific and medical visualization, animation, medical simulation and interactive modeling. One of previous antialiasing methods for implicit surfaces presented by raytracing or texture mapping is making use of a stochastic sampling. But this method requires more calculation time and costs which is caused by complicated and difficult implicit functions. In the meanwhile, voxelized implicit surfaces generally use high resolution for good quality images but it costs to generate. In order to this problem, this paper suggests a shifted double Z-buffer which is very simple, more efficient and easy. Tn addition, there are applied box-filter and tent-filter to the double Z-buffer antialiasing method for better images. For results this method generate high quality image and it is easy to apply to various filters and is able to extend to multi Z-buffer.

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.
