Due to the improvement in PC performance and the development of computer graphics technology, high quality computer animation in various industrials is on the rise. This study suggests pivot interpolation to realize the process of expressing dynamic and natural motion of fish, the key of expressing the ocean landscape through the morphing technique. By applying fish tail motion, this study solves unnatural speed of the previous morphing technique and realizes the realistic swimming way without simple motion.

A method measuring angular speed and estimating angular acceleration of an automotive wind shield wiper pivot with limited resources has been proposed. Limited resources refer to the fact that processes cannot be operated in real-time with a regular notebook running a Microsoft Windows. Also, they refer to the fact that data acquisition cards have only two general purpose counters as many generic cards do. An optical incremental encoder has been employed for measuring angular motion. To measure the angular speed of the pivot, periods for the encoder's output pulses have been measured as the speed is related to the reciprocal of the period. Since only information acquired from one counter channel is the magnitude of the angular speed, sign correction is necessary. Also the information for the exact time when a pivot passes left and right dead points is also missing and the situation is inherent to the hardware setup. To find out the zero-crossing time of the angular speed, a linear interpolation technique has been employed. Lastly, to overcome the imperfection of the mechanical encoders, the angular speed has been curve fitted to a spline. Angular acceleration can be obtained by a differentiation of the angular speed.

With gradual growth of digital image contents industry connected with computer graphics technology, users require high-quality animations similar to real world and want to observe the type of fishes or their swimming types through cyber aquarium and fish encyclopedia. This study designed and developed fish growth process system to express natural and dynamic movement of fish, which is the critical in expressing submarine environment. This system proposes new mopping technique not presented in existing mopping studies as well as simulation using algorithm that newly supplemented existing fish swimming types. In addition, disease infection status is realistically expressed, which may occur depending on environmental factors during their growth process. With comprehensive fish studies, different from existing fish studies, this study examines the overall features of fish with realistic simulation.
