In In this paper, we proposed a new JPEG2000 codec using multiresolution-based rendering (MRBR) technique for video compression of 3-dimensional digital cinema. We introduced discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for stereoscopic image and stereo matching technique in the wavelet domain. The disparity was extracted using stereo matching and transmitted with the reference (left) image. Since the generated right image was degraded by the occlusion lesion, the residual image which is generated from difference between the original right image and the generated one was transmitted at the same tine. The disparity data was extracted using the dynamic programming method in the disparity domain. There is high correlation between the higher and lower subbands. Therefore we decreased the calculation amount and enhanced accuracy by restricting the search window and applying the disparity information generated from higher subband.

The idea of level-of-detail based on multiresolution model is gaining popularity as a natural means of handling the complexity regarding the realtime rendering of virtual environments. To generate an effective multiresolution model, we should capture the prominent visual features in the process of simplifying original complex model. In this paper, we incorporate view dependent features such as silhouette features and backface features, to the generation process of multiresolution model. To capture the view directional parameter, we propose multiresolution view sphere. View sphere maps the directional relationship between object surface and the view. Using the view sphere, coherence in the directional space is mapped into spatial coherence in the view sphere. View sphere is generated in multiresolution fashion to simplify the object. To access multiresolution view sphere efficiently, we devise quad tree for the view sphere. We also devise a mechanism for realtime simplification process using proposed view sphere. Using proposed mechanism, regenerating simplified model in realtime is effectively done in the order of number of rendered vertices.

Recently, Very large and high resolution geological data from aerial or satellite imagery are available. Many researches and applications require to do realtime visualization of interest geological area or entire planet. Important operation of wide-spreaded terrain realtime visualization technique is the appropriate model resolution selection from pre-processed multi-resolution model hierarchy depend upon participant's view. For embodying such realtime rendering system with large geometric data, Preprocessing multi-resolution hierarchy from large scale geological information of interest area is required. In this research, recent Cubic multiresolution 4-8 tile hierarchy is selected for global planetary applications. Based upon the tile hierarchy, It constructs the selective terminal level tile mesh for original geological information area and starts to sample individual generated tiles for terminal level tiles. It completes the hierarchy by constructing intermediate tiles with low pass filtering in bottom-up direction. This research embodies series of efficient cubic 4-8 tile hierarchy construction mechanism with out-of-core storage. The planetary scale Mars' geographical altitude data and image data were selected for the experiment.

It is not easy that we visualize the large volume data stored in the every client computers of the web environment. One solution is as follows. First we compress volume data, second store that in the database server, third transfer that to client computer, fourth visualize that with direct-volume-rendering in the client computer. In this case, we usually use wavelet transform for compressing large data. This paper reports the experiments for acquiring the wavelet bases and the compression ratios fit for the above processing paradigm. In this experiments, we compress the volume data Engine, CThead, Bentum into 50%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.03% of the total data respectively using Harr, Daubechies4, Daubechies12 and Daubechies20 wavelets, then visualize that with direct-volume-rendering, afterwards evaluate the images with eyes and image comparison metrics. When compression ratio being low the performance of Harr wavelet is better than the performance of the other wavelets, when compression ratio being high the performance of Daubechies4 and Daubechies12 is better than the performance of the other wavelets. When measuring with eyes the good compression ratio is about 1% of all the data, when measuring with image comparison metrics, the good compression ratio is about 5-10% of all the data.
