The main purpose of this paper is to make a map showing canopy cover by using airborne Lidar data based on region. Watershed algorithm was applied to elevation data to conduct segmentation, and then canopy cover was estimated through the regions extracted. In the process of transforming point data to raster, we solved the problems about overestimation and underestimation by using frequency method. Also, canopy cover map could be produced with various scales by differing level of segmentation and it provides more accurate and precise information than ones of ordinary public forest map.

As raster-based high quality and resolution spatial information has appeared, 1/1,000 digital map lost either its recognition or uses because of insufficient new modified and updated information. Therefore, this study analyzed the linkage between three-dimensional spatial information and 1/1,000 digital map, and also suggested a modification plan of 1/1,000 digital map, made by three-dimensional spatial information. In fact, some area of Incheon and Busan were presented with the modification plan of 1/1,000 digital map as three-dimensional trial models. These trials reflected possibilities of modification by qualitative and quantitative analysis of 1/1,000 digital map, using three-dimensional object model.

In this paper, the scan conversion processor which converts the triangle represented by three vertices into pixel-level screen coordinates, depth coordinate, and color data is designed. The processor adopts scan-line algorithm which decomposes triangle into horizontal spans and then transforms the span into pixel data. By supporting top-left filling convention, it ensures that triangles that share an edge do not produce any dropouts or overlaps between adjacent polygons. It consists of about 21,400 gates and its maximum operating frequency is about 80 Mhz under 0.35um CMOS technology. Because its maximum pixel rate is about 80 Mpixels/sec, it can be applicable to mobile graphics application.

Nowadays, urbanized area expands its boundary, and distribution of urbanized area is gradually transformed into more complicated pattern. In Korea, SMA(Seoul Metropolitan Area) has outstanding urbanized area since 1960. But it is ambiguous whether urban distribution is clustered or dispersed. That is to say, it is difficult to understand spatial distribution pattern of urbanized area, although urbanized area has grown gradually. This study aims to show the way in which expansions of urbanized area impact on spatial distribution pattern of urbanized area. We use GIS analysis based on raster dataset, quadrat analysis, and nearest neighbor analysis to know distribution pattern of urbanized area in time-series urban growth. Experiments show that cohesion of SMA's urbanized area had increased to the early 1980s, but has decreased from the middle 1980s. Also, urban growth of SMA has been characterized not by spillover growth but by leapfrogging growth and road-influenced growth since the middle 1980s.

Existing image scalers generally adopt simple interpolation methods such as bilinear method to take cost-benefit, or highly complex architectures to achieve high quality resulting images. However, demands for a low power, low cost, and high performance image scaler become more important because of emerging high quality mobile contents. In this paper we propose the novel low power hardware architecture for a high quality raster scan image scaler. The proposed scaler architecture enhances the existing cubic interpolation look-up table architecture by reducing and optimizing memory access and hardware components. The input data buffer of existing image scaler is replaced with line memories to reduce the number of memory access that is critical to power consumption. The cubic interpolation formula used in existing look-up table architecture is also rearranged to reduce the number of the multipliers and look-up table size. Finally we analyze the optimized parameter sets of look-up table, which is a trade-off between quality of result image and hardware size.

Recently, the improvement of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies leverages many new technologies like the virtual study room, virtual architecture room. Such virtual worlds require free handed drawing technology such as writing descriptions of formula or drawing blue print of buildings. In nature, lots of view point modifications occur when we walk around inside the virtual world. Especially, we often look some objects from near to far distance in the virtual world. Traditional drawing methods like using fixed size image for drawing unit is not produce acceptable result because they generate blurred and jaggy result as view distance varying. We propose a novel method which robust to the environment that produce lots of magnifications and minimizations like the virtual reality world. We implemented our algorithm both two dimensional and three dimensional devices. Our algorithm does not produce any artifacts, jaggy or blurred result regardless of scaling factor.

래스터 기반 DEM 모델을 이용한 수문지형인자의 산정은 DEM의 해상도(셀크기)에 영향을 받으며, 이러한 DEM의 해상도에 따른 불확실성은 강우-유출모델의 결과에 전파되어 모델의 모의결과에 오차를 발생시키는 원인이 된다. 또한 흐름경로의 결정은 수문모델링에서 DEM으로부터 수계를 형성하고 유역을 생성 및 분할하는데 있어 결정적인 역할을 하며, 각 셀의 경사는 흐름방향을 결정하고 흐름길이는 흐름경로를 따라 측정된 거리로서 결정된다. 이러한 모든 일련의 과정들은 셀간의 연산을 통해 이루어지며, 이러한 점에서 DEM의 해상도에 따른 DEM 처리연산 및 수문지형인자의 변동성은 중요한 고려사항이라 할 수 있다. DEM의 해상도에 따른 영향을 규명하기 위해서는 주요 수문지형인자를 대상으로 DEM의 해상도에 따른 민감도를 분석하는 것이 일반적이며, 따라서 본 연구에서는 위천, 황강 및 금호강 유역에 대해 DEM의 셀크기에 따른 유역면적, 유로연장과 최원유로연장, 유역평균경사와 같은 수문지형인자의 변동성을 분석하였다. 셀크기가 증가함에 따라 유로연장 및 최원유로연장이 감소하는 추세는 보이고 있지만 셀크기의 증가로 인해 반드시 흐름길이 및 유로연장이 감소 또는 증가되는 것은 아니며, 더 많은 유역에 대한 적용을 통해 유로연장에 대한 변동을 규명할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 유역평균경사는 대체로 셀크기 $10\sim30m$에서 가장 큰 감소를 보이고 있으며, 셀크기 30m 이상에서는 감소크기가 점차 완만하게 나타난다. 그리고 셀크기가 증가할수록 유역평균경사에 대한 누가빈도곡선의 기울기는 점차 급해지고 누가빈도가 증가할수로 각 셀크기간의 유역평균경사의 감소에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있다. 이는 비록 유역평균경사에 대한 누가빈도분포의 추세가 모든 해상도에 대해 유사하게 나타나고 있지만 급경사부에 대해서는 데이터 축약으로 인해 유역평균경사에 있어 상당한 감소를 발생시킬 수 있기 때문이라 판단된다.

Multi-view video is obtained by capturing one three-dimensional scene with many cameras at different positions. The computational complexity of multi view video coding increases in proportion to the number of cameras. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, improved prediction structure and motion estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed prediction structure exploits an average distance between the current picture and its reference pictures. The proposed prediction structure divides every GOP into several groups to decide the maximum index of hierarchical B layer and the number of pictures of each B layer. And the proposed motion estimation method uses a hierarchical search strategy. This strategy method consists of modified diamond search pattern, progressive diamond search pattern and modified raster search pattern. Experiment results show that the complexity reduction of the proposed prediction structure and motion estimation method over JMVC (Joint Multiview Video Coding) reference model using hierarchical B pictures of Fraunhofer-HHI and TZ search method can be up to 40~70% while maintaining similar video quality and bit rates.

Motion estimation (ME) that limits the performance of image quality and encoding speed has been developed to reduce temporal redundancy in video sequences and plays an important role in digital video compression. But it is computational demanding part of the encoder. Multi-view video is obtained by capturing one three-dimensional scene with many cameras at different positions. ME for Multi-view video requires high computational complexity. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, a fast motion estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses a hierarchical search strategy. This strategy method consists of modified diamond search patten, multi gird diamond search pattern, and raster search pattern. These search patterns place search points symmetrically and evenly that can cover the overall search area not to fall into the local minimum or exploits the characteristics of the distribution of motion vectors to place the search points. Experiment results show that the speedup improvement of the proposed method over TZ search method (JMVC) can be up to 1.2 ~3 times faster while maintaining similar video quality and bit rates.
