As yet the use of 3D scanning technology has been limited to documentation, preservation and monitoring in cultural and natural heritage domain. Appropriate visualization of precise geometric information in scan data can support scientific interpretation of the domain experts. We studied the rendering techniques which visualize the required features from scanned models, and proposed a 3D scan data visualization pipeline, rendering methods, and a classification scheme. As a case study, we analyzed the traditional method in the study of dinosaur tracks and performed the visualization of 3D scanned models. A user test based on the result confirmed an effectiveness of the proposed method. This research showed a practical method in which 3D scanned models can be used to effective interpretation of heritage.

Interactive terrain visualization is an important research area with applications in GIS, games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and flight simulators, besides having military use. This is a complex and challenging problem considering that some applications require precise visualizations of huge data sets at real-time rates. In general, the size of data sets makes rendering at real-time difficult since the terrain data cannot fit entirely in memory. In this paper, we suggest the effective Real-time LOD(level-of-detail) algorithm for displaying the huge terrain data and processing mass geometry. We used a hierarchy structure with $4{\times}4$ and $2{\times}2$ tiles for real-time rendering of mass volume DEM which acquired from Digital map, LiDAR, DTM and DSM. Moreover, texture mapping is performed to visualize realistically while displaying height data of normalized Giga Byte level with user oriented terrain information and creating hill shade map using height data to hierarchy tile structure of file type. Large volume of terrain data was transformed to LOD data for real time visualization. This paper show the new LOD algorithm for seamless visualization, high quality, minimize the data loss and maximize the frame speed.

Information visualization, generally speaking, consists of three steps: transform from raw data to data model, visual mapping from data model to visual structure, and transform from visual structure to information model. In this paper, we propose a visual mapping method from spatiotemporal table information, which is related to events in large-scale building, to 3D map metaphor. The process has also three steps as follows. First, after analyzing the table attributes, we carefully define a context to fully represent the table-information. Second, we choose meaningful attribute sets from the context. Third, each meaningful attribute set is mapped to one well defined visual structure. Our method has several advantages. First, users can intuitively achieve non-spatial information through the 3D map which is a powerful spatial metaphor. Second, this system shows various visual mapping method applicable to other data models in the form of table, especially GIS. After describing the whole concept of our visual mapping, we will show the results of implementation for several requests.

Adaptive mesh refinement(AMR) is one of the popular computational simulation techniques used in various scientific and engineering fields. Although AMR data is organized in a hierarchical multi-resolution data structure, traditional volume visualization algorithms such as ray-casting and splatting cannot handle the form without converting it to a sophisticated data structure. In this paper, we present a hierarchical multi-resolution splatting technique using k-d trees and octrees for AMR data that is suitable for implementation on the latest consumer PC graphics hardware. We describe a graphical user interface to set transfer function and viewing / rendering parameters interactively. Experimental results obtained on a general purpose PC equipped with an nVIDIA GeForce3 card are presented to demonstrate that the proposed techniques can interactively render AMR data(over 20 frames per second). Our scheme can easily be applied to parallel rendering of time-varying AMR data.

The convergence of engineering and IT technology has brought many changes to the industry as well as academic research. In particular, computer simulation technology has evolved to a level that can accurately simulate actual physical phenomena and analyze them in real time. In this paper, we describe the CFD technology, which is mainly used in industry, and the post processor that uses the augmented reality which is emerging as the post-processing. Research on the visualization of fluid simulation results using AR technology is actively being carried out. However, due to the large size of the result data, it is limited to researches that are published in a desktop environment. Therefore, it is limitation that needs to be reviewed in actual space. In this paper, we discuss how to solve these problems. We analyze the fluid analysis results in the post-processing, and then perform optimizing data (more than 70%)to support operation in the mobile environment. In the visualization, lightweight data is used to perform real-time tracking using cloud computing, The analysis result is matched to the screen and visualized. This allows the user to review and analyze the fluid analysis results in an efficient and immersive manner in the various spaces where the simulation is performed.

In this paper, we introduce a virtual reality interface for scientific visualization applications. Our VR interface is based on an open-source framework called VR Juggler. Although VR Juggler has its own advantages, it lacks some of the important functionalities needed for practical applications - event handling, synchronization and data sharing among cluster nodes, to name a few. We explain how these issues are resolved while developing the VR interface. Also, a new interface with a smart device, which replaces the virtual reality input device, is introduced. Finally, system usability test results are provided to prove the effectiveness of the proposed interfaces.

The paper introduces trends and methodological challenges of quantitative Korean text analysis by using the case studies of academic and news media articles on "migration" and "immigration" within the periods of 2017-2019. The quantitative text analysis based on natural language processing technology (NLP) and this became an essential tool for social science. It is a part of data science that converts documents into structured data and performs hypothesis discovery and verification as the data and visualize data. Furthermore, we examed the commonly applied social scientific statistical models of quantitative text analysis by using Natural Language Processing (NLP) with R programming and Quanteda.

볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 기법의 필요성은 데이터 용량의 증가와 네트워크 사용량의 증가와 함께 더불어 증가해 왔다. 현재에는 다양한 압축 기법이 개발돼 있으며, 사용자는 데이터 유형이나 응용 분야에 맞춰 압축 기법을 선택, 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 최근에는 응용 과학자들로부터 생성되는 데이터의 용량이 기하급수적으로 증가했는데, 이렇게 응용과학 분야에서 생성되는 데이터는 대부분 3차원 볼륨 데이터다. 2차원 이미지나 3차원 동영상 데이터의 경우에는 다양한 표준 압축 방식을 사용할 수 있지만 3차원 볼륨 데이터에 적용할 수 있는 방법은 한정돼 있으며, 특히 시간가변(time-varying) 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 표준은 거의 존재하지 않는다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 방식을 제안한다. 이 방식은 가시화를 목적으로 하는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터의 인코딩을 목적으로 하며, MPEG의 I-프레임과 P-프레임 개념을 사용해서 압축률을 높인다. 본 방식은 시간가변 부동 소수점 데이터(single precision floating-point data)로 구성된 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 대상으로 하는데, 한 블록 단위의 무작위 복원을 지원하며 Daubechies 웨이블릿 필터와 프레임간의 상관 관계를 사용, 대형 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 이미지 화질을 보존한다.

In this paper, we describe the process and method of converting tens of TB of time-varying AMR (adaptive mesh refinement) volume data generated as a result of numerical model simulation into optimized data that can be used for various XR devices. AMR volume data is a useful data format for complex modeling and simulation, and it can efficiently express materials such as star clusters and gases that exist in the very wide outer space used in this study. we analyzes the metadata of AMR data, samples it at low resolution, optimizes information in important areas, and converts it into a data set that can be used even on relatively low performance XR devices. Finally, we introduces how the optimized data was utilized and visualized through the development of immersive XR content using the data set.
