The interpolator is very important in CNC machines. This study proposed a parametric curve interpolator(PCI) which can be used for machining any sculptured surface represented in a parametric form and generates commands for tool motion between CAD data points according to given accuracy demands. The proposed interpolator is superior to the existing linear interpolator in accuracy, feed rate and acceleration continuity. Moreover in comparison to the recently developed cubic spline interpolator, the PCI has the capability of handling higher order parametric curves and also ensures precise tracking in the velocity domain. Results from real time simulations and experiments on open architecture CNC machines equipped with the proposed interpolator are presented to show its practical capagility. It is believed that the combination of the proposed interpolator and the open architecture machine controller further advances the area of command generation which is an important aspect of CAD/CAM.

The purpose of this research is to find a simple and accurate NURBS interpolator for CNC systems such as robot, CMM and CNC machine tools. This paper presents a new design of NURBS interpolator for CNC system. The proposed algorithm used the recursive characteristics of NURBS equation, the previous incremental value and chord length for the sake of a constant chord length. Simulation study was conducted to see the performance of the proposed interpolator with reference-word and reference-pulse method. Consequently, an accurate and simple NURBS interpolator was possible for modem CNC systems.

This study presents a new type of CNC interpolator that is capable of generating cutter paths for ball-end milling of NURBS surfaces. The proposed surface interpolator comprises real-time algorithms for cutter contact (CC) path scheduling and CC path interpolator. Especially in this study, a new interpolator module to regulate cutting forces is developed. This propose algorithm utilizes variable-feedrate commands along the CC path according to the curvature of machined surfaces during the interpolation process. Additionally, it proposes an OpenGL graphic library for computer graphics and animation of interpolated tool-position display. The proposed interpolator is evaluated and compared with the existing method based on constant feedrates through computer simulations.

A parametric curve interpolator has been proposed for machining curves instead of a linear interpolator in which curves are approximated by a set of line segment. The parametric curve interpolator is superior to linear interpolator in machining time and contour error and generate exact position commands directly from curve equations. In this paper, a new toolpath generation method is proposed based on the parametric curve interpolator. This method retains all the benefits of parametric curve interpolator and can bound the scallop height within a specified value. By interpolating curves and surfaces directly from the mathematical equations, the amount of data from CAD/CAM system to CNC controller can be significantly reduced. The proposed method was implemented on a CNC controller and was confirmed to give a better result than the other existing method.

Research on underwater sensor networks is increasing due to such reasons as marine resource management, maritime disaster prediction and military protection. Many underwater sensor networks performs wireless communication using an acoustic sound wave band signal having a relatively low frequency. So the digital part of their modem can take charge of carrier band signal processing. To enable this, the sampling rate of the baseband band signal should be increased to a sampling rate at which carrier band signal processing is possible. In this paper, we designed a sampling rate increasing circuit based on a CIC interpolator for underwater sensor nodes. The CIC interpolator has a simple circuit structure. However, since the CIC interpolator has a large attenuation of the pass band and a wide transition band, an inverse sinc LPF is added to compensate for frequency response of the CIC interpolator. The proposed interpolator was verified in time domain and frequency domain using ModelSim and Matlab.

In this paper we present a microprocessor-based interpolator using algebraic arithmetic method. The interpolator consists of 2910 "bit-slice" microprocessor chips and 0.5K ROMs of microprogram memory. The system design is an instruction-data-based architecture with 250ns cycle time. A significant feature of the interpolator is that it has flexibility, very fast interpolatioon speed of (max) 250K pulses/sec, and performs additional functions simultaneously. Throughout the paper detailed explanations are given as to how one can design the hardware and software of the interpolator efficently. In addi- tion to hardware and software design, experimental results are pressented.ressented.

In this paper, we propose a rasterizer architecture using varying interpolator which process several pixels at a time. Proposed rasterizer is able to handle 16 pixel at a time and output the color of up to 64. It can reduce the redundancy of calculation by configuring a matrix transformation and matrix calculation for rasterization, and it can enhance the speed of rasterizer by increasing the reusability. As a result, proposed rasterizer has improve 11% in color interpolation, 17% in the processing speed of the rasterizer by comparing with conventional research.

In this paper, a NURBS surface interpolator is proposed which can deal with shapes defined from CAD/CAM programs on a surface basis and can improve contour accuracy. The proposed interpolator is based on newly defined G-codes and includes online tool-path planning suitable for NURBS surface machining. The real-time interpolation algorithm, considering an effective machining method for each machining process and minimum machining time, is executed in an online manner. The proposed interpolator is implemented on a PC-based 3-axis CNC milling system and evaluated through actual machining in terms of machining time and regulation of feedrate and cutting force in comparison with the existing method.

In this paper, we propose an image interpolator for low computational complexity. The proposed image interpolator supports the image scaling using a modified cubic convolution interpolation between the input and output resolutions for a full screen display. In order to reduce the computational complexity, we use the difference in value of the adjacent pixels for selecting interpolation methods and linear function of the cubic convolution. The proposed image interpolator is compared with the conventional one for the computational complexity and image quality. The proposed image interpolator has been designed and verified by Verilog HDL(Hardware Description Language). It has been synthesized using the Xilinx VirtexE FPGA, and implemented using an FPGA-based prototype board.
