대조도와 관용도사이의 손실 교환은 투사 방사선 촬영에 있어서 잘 알려져 있고 또한 오랫동안 지속되어온 영상의 질에 있어서의 제약이었다. 전자적인 영상획득의 도입으로 한 영상 내에 넓은 영역의 X-Tay 노출을 포획하는 것이 가능해 졌다. 그러나, 진단에 필요한 세부영역 들을 위해 적절한 대조도를 유지하는 반면, 일반적으로 기대되는 관용도 범위 이외의 정보가 시각화 되어지는 것과 같은 영상의 rendering과 displaying의 문제가 남아 있었다. 이 문서에 묘사되는 EVP(Enhanced Visualization Processing)는 이 문제를 중점적으로 다룬다. 방대한 진단용 CR 영상 데이터베이스로부터 선택된 14개의 검사유형 당 각각 5개의 영상들을 포함한, 총 70개의 영상들을 사용하여 임상 보고서가 제출되었다. 각 영상에 대해, control rendering은 현재 개발되어 있는 automatic tone scaling algorithm(자동 톤 스케일 알고리즘)에 의해 생성되었고, test rendering은 그 control of image에 EVP를 인가함에 의해 생성되었다. 10명의 radiologist들은 각자 개별적으로 140개의 이미지들(70개의 test renderings와 70개의 control renderings)을 9점의 진단 상의 품질 척도로 평가했다. EVP는 세부 대조도의 부당한 손실 없이 증가된 노출 관용도를 제공했다. 많은 영상에서 EVP는 과소 투과 영역에서의 정보의 손실을 줄여주고, 반면 과다 투과 영역의 밝게 빛나는 현상을 실제적으로 감소시켰다. 진단상의 품질 평가는 EVP image와 control image 모두 평균적으로 높았다. 그럼에도 EVP images의 평균 등위는 control image의 그것보다 1 단계 완전히 높은 범위에 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 쌍으로 그 영상들을 보면, EVP images의 76%가 일치하는 control images의 평가 단계보다 1 또는 그 이상 높은 범주인 것으로 평가되었고, 반면 control image의 6% 만이 일치하는 EVP 영상보다 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 유사한 결과가 연구된 14개의 검사유형에 대해 획득되었다.

Image-based motion capture technology is often used in making realistic computer animation. In this paper we try to implement image-based motion rendering by fixing a camera to a PC. Existing image-based rendering algorithms have disadvantages of high computational burden or low accuracy. The former disadvantage causes too long making-time of an animation. The latter disadvantage degrades reality in making realistic animation. To compensate for those disadvantages of the existing approaches, this paper presents an image-based motion rendering algorithm with low computational load and high estimation accuracy. In the proposed approach, an incremental motion rendering algorithm with low computational load is analyzed in the respect of optimal control theory and revised so that its estimation accuracy is enhanced. If we apply this proposed approach to optic motion capture systems, we can obtain additional advantages that motion capture can be performed without any markers, and with low cost in the respect of equipments and spaces.

This paper presents a novel real-time rendering algorithm based on spherical coordinate system of the object using convex hull. While OpenGL rendering pipeline touches all vertices of an object, the proposed method takes account the only visible vertices by examining the visible triangles of the object. In order to determine the visible areas of the object in its spherical coordinate representation, the proposed method uses 3D geometric relation of 6 plane equations of the camera frustum and the bounding sphere of the object. In addition, we compute the convex hull of the object and its maximum side factors for hidden surface removal. Simulation results showed that the quality of result image is almost same compared to original image and rendering performance is greatly improved.

Non-Photorealistic rendering techniques, such as toon rendering, can enhance the quality of hand-drawn cell-animation images greatly with less effort. For this reason, to on rendering is one of the popular techniques used in the cell-animation image production field. The existing toon rendering techniques, however, have not been effective enough for the real-time image processing that the techniques have not been adequate for some processes that needs immediate responses such as virtual-realities, or video games. This paper will suggest the real-time toon rendering to overcome the limits through real-time outline detection and phong shading. In addition, a effective result-image is created as adding a shadow and a execution time remains by real-time through fast shadow generation algorithm.

This research proposed the domain division depth map quantization for multiview intermediate image generation using Depth Image-Based Rendering (DIBR). This technique used per-pixel depth quantization according to the percentage of depth bits assigned in domains of depth range. A comparative experiment was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of the proposed method against the linear depth quantization on DIBR multiview intermediate image generation. The experiment evaluated three quantization methods with computer-generated 3D scenes, which consisted of various scene complexities and backgrounds, under varying the depth resolution. The results showed that the proposed domain division depth quantization method outperformed the linear method on the 7- bit or lower depth map, especially in the scene with the large object.

In this paper, we designed a revised neural network to remove the Monte Carlo Rendering noise contained in the ray tracing graphics. The Monte Carlo Rendering is the best way to enhance the graphic's realism, but because of the need to calculate more than thousands of light effects per pixel, rendering processing time has increased rapidly, causing a major problem with real-time processing. To improve this problem, the number of light used in pixels is reduced, where rendering noise occurs and various studies have been conducted to eliminate this noise. In this paper, a deep learning is used to remove rendering noise, especially by separating the rendering image into diffuse and specular light, so that the structure of the dual neural network is designed. As a result, the dual neural network improved by an average of 0.58 db for 64 test images based on PSNR, and 99.22% less light compared to reference image, enabling real-time race-tracing rendering.

When rendering both three-dimensional objects and photo images together, the non-photorealistic rendering results are in visual discord since the two contents have their own independent color distributions. This paper proposes a non-photorealistic rendering technique which renders both three-dimensional objects and photo images such as cartoons and sketches. The proposed technique computes the color distribution property of the photo images and reduces the number of colors of both photo images and 3D objects. NPR is performed based on the reduced colormaps and edge features. To enhance the natural scene presentation, the image region segmentation process is preferred when extracting and applying colormaps. However, the image segmentation technique needs a lot of computational operations. It takes a long time for non-photorealistic rendering for large size frames. To speed up the time-consuming segmentation procedure, we use GPGPU for the parallel computing using the GPU. As a result, we significantly improve the execution speed of the algorithm.

재조명(relighting) 렌더링은 장면 내에 새로운 광원의 추가 또는 기존 광원 속성의 변경으로 인한 영상의 변화를 효율적으로 계산하는 과정을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 쉐이딩(shading) 계산에서 광원에 독립적인 파라메터를 미리 텍스쳐 이미지 형태로 캐시화하여 재조명 렌더링 과정에서의 계산량을 줄이는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 쉐이딩 파라메터들의 캐시 이미지들은 사용자가 카메라 시점을 바꾸고자 할 경우 새로 생성을 하여야 하는데, 이 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 시점에서의 캐시 이미지들를 영상 기반 렌더링(image-based rendering) 기법을 이용하여 실시간에 구하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저 여러 개의 지정된 카메라 시점에 대한 캐시 이미지들을 미리 생성해 둔다. 다음 원하는 시점의 캐시 이미지는 각 픽셀에 투영되는 3차원 표면점을 역시점변환(inverse viewing transform)을 통해 구하고, 이 점을 지정된 카메라 시점으로 다시 투영하여 캐시 이미지에서의 대응 픽셀을 찾는다. 대응 픽셀의 파라메터 값들을 평균하여 새 캐시 이미지에 써준다. 이 과정들은 하드웨어 그래픽 가속기의 단편 쉐이더(fragment shader)를 이용하여 실시간으로 수행된다.

We develop an interactive relighting renderer allowing camera view changes based on a deep-frame buffer approach. The renderer first caches the rendering parameters for a given 3D scene in an auxiliary buffer with the same size of the output image. The rendering parameters independent from light changes are selected from the shading models used for shading pixels. Next, as the user interactively edits one light at one time, the relighting renderer instantly re-shades each pixel by updating the contribution of the changed light with the shading parameters cached in the deep-frame buffer. When the camera moves, the cache values should be re-computed because the currently cached values become obsolete. We present a novel method to synthesize them quickly from the cache images of the user specified cameras by using an image-based technique. This computations are all performed on GPU to achieve real-time performance.

In 3D animation rendering process, Although we can render the output as a movie file format, most productions use image sequences in their rendering pipelines. This Image Sequence rendering process is extremely important step in final compositing in movie industries. Although there are various type of making image rendering processes, TGA format Is one of most widely used bitmap file formats using in industries. People may ask TGA format is most suitable for in any case. As we know 3D softwares have their own image formats. so we need to testify on this. In this paper, we are going to focus on Alias' 3D package software called MAYA which we will analyze of compressing image sequence, Image quality, supporting Alpha channels in compositing, and Z-depth information. The purpose of this paper is providing to 3D Pipeline as a guideline about effective image sequence format.
