We propose a tree modeling method of expressing realistically and efficiently numerous trees distributed on a broad terrain. This method combines and simplifies the recursive hierarchy of tree branch and branch generation process through self-organizing from buds, allowing users to generate trees that can be used more intuitively and efficiently. With the generation process the leveled structure and the appearance such as branch length, distribution and direction can be controlled interactively by user. In addition, we introduce an environment-adaptive model that allows to grow a number of trees variously by controlling at the same time and we propose an efficient application method of growing environment. For the real-time rendering of the complex tree models distributed on a broad terrain, the rendering process, the LOD(level of detail) for the branch surfaces, and shader instancing are introduced through the GPU(Graphics Processing Unit). Whether the numerous trees are expressed realistically and efficiently on wide terrain by proposed models are confirmed through simulation.

The statistical wisp model for hairstyle generation was introduced in [1]. It provided a program to load human models, set parameters, generate wisps and strands, and make constraints. However, the program used hard-coded human models and prescribed constraints so that it was hard to change different models and manipulate constraints. Hence we provide a simple interface by drawing maps and constraints. Also, we can increase the speed of computation by using GPU acceleration.

광범위한 지형을 배경으로 하는 게임과 같은 실시간 시뮬레이션 시스템에서 사실적 표현을 높이는 중요한 요소 중 하나가 나무와 같은 자연물 표현이다. 하지만 시스템에 적합한 나무 모델을 매번 새롭게 제작하고 표현하는 일은 다소 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 실시간 시스템에 적합한 다양하고 사실적인 나무를 모델링하는 방법을 설계한다. 이는 프랙탈 기반의 재귀적 계층 구조를 바탕으로 가지 성장의 자기조직화 처리를 결합하여 나무 성장 과정을 단순화시킴으로써 실시간 시스템에서 직관적이고 효율적으로 활용가능하게 한다. 또한 다양한 나무 모델을 자연스럽게 생성할 수 있도록 인터렉티브 제어 요소를 정의함은 물론 실시간 시스템 내 많은 수의 복잡한 나무 모델을 효율적으로 렌더링하기 위한 GPU를 기반으로 한 가지 표면에 대한 LOD 설정과 인스턴싱 방법을 추가하여 그 결과를 함께 보인다.

Steel is one of the most fundamental components to mechanical industry. However, the quality of products are greatly impacted by the surface defects in the steel. Thus, researchers pay attention to the need for surface defects detector and the deep learning methods are the current trend of object detector. There are still limitations and rooms for improvements, for example, related works focus on developing the models but don't take into account real-time application with practical implication on industrial settings. In this paper, a real-time application of steel surface defects detection based on YOLOv4 is proposed. Firstly, as the aim of this work to deploying model on real-time application, we studied related works on this field, particularly focusing on one-stage detector and YOLO algorithm, which is one of the most famous algorithm for real-time object detectors. Secondly, using pre-trained Yolov4-Darknet platform models and transfer learning, we trained and test on the hot rolled steel defects open-source dataset NEU-DET. In our study, we applied our application with 4 types of typical defects of a steel surface, namely patches, pitted surface, inclusion and scratches. Thirdly, we evaluated YOLOv4 trained model real-time performance to deploying our system with accuracy of 87.1 % mAP@0.5 and over 60 fps with GPU processing.
