Traditionally, three dimension model s have been used for building virtual worlds, and a data structure called the "scene graph" is often employed to organize these 3D objects in the virtual space. On the other hand, image-based rendering has recently been suggested as a probable alternative VR platform for its photo-realism, however, due to limited interactivity. it has only been used for simple navigation systems. To combine the merits of these two approaches to object/scene representations, this paper proposes for a scene graph structure in which both 3D models and various image-based scenes/objects can be defined. traversed, and rendered together. In fact, as suggested by Shade et al. [1]. these different representations can be used as different LOD's for a given object. For in stance, an object might be rendered using a 3D model at close range, a billboard at an intermediate range. and as part of an environment map at far range. The ultimate objective of this mixed platform is to breath more interactivity into the image based rendered VE's by employing 3D models as well. There are several technical challenges in devising such a platform : designing scene graph nodes for various types of image based techniques, establishing criteria for LOD/representation selection. handling their transition s. implementing appropriate interaction schemes. and correctly rendering the overall scene. Currently, we have extended the scene graph structure of the Sense8's WorldToolKit. to accommodate new node types for environment maps. billboards, moving textures and sprites, "Tour-into-the-Picture" structure, and view interpolated objects. As for choosing the right LOD level, the usual viewing distance and image space criteria are used, however, the switching between the image and 3D model occurs at a distance from the user where the user starts to perceive the object's internal depth. Also. during interaction, regardless of the viewing distance. a 3D representation would be used, if it exists. Finally. we carried out experiments to verify the theoretical derivation of the switching rule and obtained positive results.

This paper proposes an efficient walktlu-ough animation from two images of the same scene. To make animation easily and fast, Tour Into the Picture(TIP) enables walkthrough animation from single image but lacks the reality of its foreground object when the viewpoint moves from side to side, and view morphing uses only 2D transition between two images but restricts its camera path on the line between two views. By combining advantages of these two image-based techniques, this paper suggests a new virtual navigation technique which enable natural scene transformation when the viewpoint changes in the side-to-side direction as well as in the depth direction. In our method, view morphing is employed only in foreground objects , and background scene which is perceived carelessly is mapped into cube-like 3D model as in TIP, so as to save laborious 3D reconstruction costs and improve visual realism simultaneously. To do this, we newly define a camera transformation between two images from the relationship of the spidery mesh transformation and its corresponding 3D view change. The result animation shows that our method creates a realistic 3D virtual navigation using a simple interface.

자유시점 비디오는 단순히 수동적으로 비디오를 보는 것이 아니라 원하는 시점을 자유로이 선택하여 보는 능동형 비디오이다. 일반적으로 다양한 위치 및 다양한 각도에 위치하는 다수의 카메라로부터 촬영된 영상을 이용하여 제작하는데, 이 기술은 박물관 투어, 엔터테인먼트 등의 다양한 분야에서 활용된다. 본 논문에서는 자유시점 비디오의 새로운 분야로 한 장의 영상을 가상 카메라와 깊이맵을 이용하여 영상 내부를 네비게이션하는 자유시점 입체 Tour-Into-Picture (TIP)을 제안한다. 오래전부터 TIP가 연구되어 왔는데, 이 분야는 한 장의 사진 내부를 탐험하면서 애니메이션으로 볼 수 있게 하는 기술이다. 제안 방법은 전처리과정으로 전경 마스크, 배경영상, 및 깊이맵을 자동 및 수동 방법으로 구한다. 다음에는 영상 내부를 항해하면서 투영 영상들을 획득한다. 배경영상과 전객객체의 3D 모델링 데이터를 기반으로 가상 카메라의 3차원 공간 이동, yaw, pitch, rolling의 회전, look-around effect, 줌인 등의 다양한 카메라 기능을 활용하여 자유시점 비디오를 구현한다. 또한 깊이정보의 특성 및 구조에 따라 놀라운 시청효과를 전달하는 카메라 기능의 설정 방법을 소개한다. 소프트웨어는 OpenGL 및 MFC Visual C++ 기반으로 구축되었으며, 실험영상으로 조선시대의 작품인 신윤복의 단오풍정을 사용하였고, 입체 애니메이션으로 제작되어 보다 실감있는 콘텐츠를 제공한다.

The 4th industrial revolution has become a topic of 'experiential games' that utilize technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and complex reality, and they are promoting various experiential game contents to attract tourists in the tourism industry have. The trend of tourism is the concept of the healing which aims to enhance the quality of life of the individual in the concept of simple travel, that is, the consumer is not satisfied with the sight, There are many changes in the form of tourism. In this study, domestic and foreign cases that utilized the fun and experience of tourism in the game were examined using case study methods. In domestic case, although service was provided by using smart phone, there is a problem that simple information is provided, mission quest method is not continuously provided, and the story is limited. I tried to find out the solution through this case. Developing and applying various experience contents, utilizing active investment and various stories for continuous service, and utilizing new technology such as virtual reality, it will bring about improvement of domestic tourism industry and satisfaction.
