With the increasing use of high-performance mobile devices such as smartphones, users have been able to connect to the Internet anywhere, anytime, so that Location Based Services(LBSes) have been popular among the users in order to obtain personalized information associated with their locations. The services have advanced to provide the information realistically and intuitively by adopting Augmented Reality(AR) technology, where the technology utilizes various sensors embedded in the mobile devices. However, the services have inherent problems due to the small screen size of the mobile devices and the complexity of the real world environment. Overlapping contents on a small screen and user's possible movement should be taken into consideration in displaying the icons on objects that block user's environment such as trees and buildings. The problems mainly happen when the services use only user's location and sensor data to calculate the position of the displayed information. In order to solve the problems, this paper proposes a method that applies street data extracted from a digital map. The method uses the street data as well as the location and direction data to determine contents that are placed on both sides of a virtual street which augments the real street. With scrolling the virtual street, which means a virtual movement, some information far away from the location of the user can be identified without user's actual movement. Also the proposed method is implemented for region "Aenigol", and the efficiency and usefulness of the method is verified.

The convergence of engineering and IT technology has brought many changes to the industry as well as academic research. In particular, computer simulation technology has evolved to a level that can accurately simulate actual physical phenomena and analyze them in real time. In this paper, we describe the CFD technology, which is mainly used in industry, and the post processor that uses the augmented reality which is emerging as the post-processing. Research on the visualization of fluid simulation results using AR technology is actively being carried out. However, due to the large size of the result data, it is limited to researches that are published in a desktop environment. Therefore, it is limitation that needs to be reviewed in actual space. In this paper, we discuss how to solve these problems. We analyze the fluid analysis results in the post-processing, and then perform optimizing data (more than 70%)to support operation in the mobile environment. In the visualization, lightweight data is used to perform real-time tracking using cloud computing, The analysis result is matched to the screen and visualized. This allows the user to review and analyze the fluid analysis results in an efficient and immersive manner in the various spaces where the simulation is performed.

The Avengers film produced by Marvel Comics shows visual effects that were impossible to produce in the past. Companies that produce film special effects were initially equipped with large personnel and equipment, but technology is gradually evolving to be feasible for smaller companies that do not have high-priced equipment and a large workforce. The development of hardware and software is becoming increasingly available to the general public as well as to experts. Equipment and software which were difficult for individuals to purchase before quickly popularized high-performance computers as the game industry developed. The development of the cloud has been the driving force behind software costs. As augmented reality (AR) performance of mobile devices improves, advanced technologies such as motion tracking and face recognition technology are no longer implemented by expensive equipment. Under these circumstances, after implementing mobile-based facial capture technology in animation projects, we have identified the pros and the cons and suggest better solutions to improve the problem.

In Interactive Storytelling, storyline is developed according to the user's interaction. Diffrerent from linear, fixed storytelling, users may select an event or make decisions which affect on the story plotting. Therefore user's feeling of immersion and interest may be greatly enhanced. In this paper, we used markers and multi-touch pad for user's interaction for interactive storytelling. Users could present his/her level of interest and provide feedback through markers and multi-touch pad, through which storyline was differently developed.

In this paper, we propose a method to track the movement of camera from the video sequences. This method is useful for video analysis and can be applied as pre-processing step in some application such as video stabilizer and marker-less augmented reality. First, we extract the features in each frame using corner point detection. The features in current frame are then compared with the features in the adjacent frames to calculate the optical flow which represents the relative movement of the camera. The optical flow is then analyzed to obtain camera movement parameter. The final step is camera movement estimation and correction to increase the accuracy. The method performance is verified by generating a 3D map of camera movement and embedding 3D object to the video. The demonstrated examples in this paper show that this method has a high accuracy and rarely produce any jitter.

컴퓨터의 발전으로 이를 이용해 제품을 디자인하는 CAI가 발전하게 되었다. 산업 디자이너들은 CAID 도구를 사용하여 3차원 장면을 시각화하기 위하여 이를 2차원 이미지로 만드는 렌더링 기능을 수행한다. 렌더링 기능은 디자이너들이 자신이 디자인 제품의 재질, 조명, 카메라 등을 시뮬레이션 해 볼 수 있게 하여 중요한 기능으로 활용되고 있다. 하지만 현재의 컴퓨터 입출력 시스템을 활용하여 CAID 도구의 광원과 카메라 등의 3차원 위치와 속성을 조작하는 데에 인터페이스 상의 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실과 실체적 인터페이스를 활용한 가상의 라이트 조작 공간인 TLS(Tangible Lighting Studio)를 제안한다. 이는 광원과 카메라의 위치, 효과를 물리적으로 조작할 수 있는 유닛들로 구성되어있다. 그리고 가상의 모델을 실제와 같이 보이게 하기 위한 입체 디스플레이 방식을 제안한다. 새로운 실체적 인터페이스를 제안함으로써 산업디자인 분야뿐 아니라 건축, 원화, 사진 촬영 등의 분야에서 시뮬레이션 도구로 적용할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

최근에 TV의 축구, 야구와 같은 스포츠 중계 방송에서 팀의 로고나 점수, 거리와 같은 그래픽 정보를 운동장에 합성시켜 보여주는 새로운 기술이 사용되고 있다. 이는 증강현실(AR: Augmented Reality)의 한 분야인 실시간 이미징 합성 기법을 사용한 것으로서 일반적으로 가상이미징 시스템이라 불리운다. 본 논문에서는 방송용 카메라의 렌즈와 팬(pan), 틸트(tilt) 축에 센서를 부착하여 이를 해석함으로써, 실시간으로 3차원 그래픽 좌표계의 가상 카메라를 제어하는 센서기반 가상이미징 시스템의 구현 결과와 관련기술을 소개한다. KBS 기술연구소에서는 실시간 가상이미징 시스템을 개발하여 'VIVA(Virtual Imaging & Virtual Advertising)'라 이름지었다. 이 시스템은 렌즈 데이터에 근거하여 카메라 캘리브레이션을 수행하며, 주밍(zooming)시 발생하는 카메라의 시점(view point) 변화를 반영하여 원거리 촬영이 이루어지는 스포츠 중계뿐만 아니라 보다 정확성이 요구되는 스튜디오 내의 근거리 프로그램 제작에도 사용이 가능하다. 합성되는 그래픽은 실세계와 같은 완전한 3차원 좌표 공간에 놓이게 되며, 월드 좌표계와 카메라 좌표계를 이용하여 사전 제작된 오브젝트들을 원하는 곳에 위치시킬 수 있다. 실사와 그래픽의 효과적인 합성을 위하여 오버레이(overlay) 모드는 물론 알파키(alphakey)와 크로마키(chromakey)를 조합한 모드를 사용하였다. VIVA는 2002년 부산 아시안 게임에서 수영과 양궁 중계에 활용하였다.
