사실감 있는 디지털 캐릭터를 만드는 것은 3D 영역에서 가장 어려운 도전 중에 하나이다. 특히 얼굴의 특징을 만들기 어렵기 때문에 얼굴포착기술이 점점 보편화되어가고 있다. 본문에서도 Photo Scan의 얼굴포착으로 고품질의 디지털 캐릭터 모델을 얻는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 시간을 단축시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 효율이 높아서 이 작업 과정이 고품질의 디지털 캐릭터 모델을 얻는 데 매우 유용하다.

With the popularity of smart phones and the help of high-speed wireless communication technology, high-quality multimedia contents have become common in mobile devices. Especially, the release of Oculus Rift opens a new era of virtual reality technology in consumer market. At the same time, 3D audio technology which is currently used to make computer games more realistic will soon be applied to the next generation of mobile phone and expected to offer a more expansive experience than its visual counterpart. This paper surveys concepts, algorithms, and systems for modeling 3D sound virtual environment applications. To do this, we first introduce an important design principle for audio rendering based on physics-based geometric algorithms and multichannel technologies, and introduce an audio rendering pipeline to a scene graph-based virtual reality system and a hardware architecture to model sound propagation.

In 3D video transmission, a depth map being used for depth image based rendering (DIBR) is generally compressed by reducing resolution for coding efficiency. Errors in resolution reduction are recovered by an appropriate up-sampling method after decoding. However, most previous works only focus on up-sampling techniques to reduce errors. In this paper, we propose a novel down-sampling technique of depth map that applies different down-sampling rates on moving objects and background in order to enhance human perceptual quality. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides both higher visual quality and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). Also, our method is compatible with other up-sampling techniques.

In this paper, we propose a new rendering scheme of cloth by measuring light-scattering pattern inside the cloth and reproducing using the pattern. To date, the BTF(Bidirectional Texture Function) has been one of the most appropriate method to realistically reconstruct cloth surface. However, the BTF has a couple of defects that it ultimately requires an infinite amount of data and all light effects should be used all together. We noted that internal scattering has a decisive contribution to the reality of cloth. Following this observation, we take an image of a ray of light scattering inside cloth for every position of the cloth sample and determine each pixel value by adding up all light influences arriving from its vicinity. Our method we propose in this paper provides a clue to more realistically represent cloth-like materials, which is one of the most challenging materials to express, by enabling each ray to be controlled individually.

In this paper, we propose an implementation of a neural network accelerator for reducing the rendering noise using OpenCL. Among the rendering algorithms, we selects a ray tracing to assure a high quality graphics. Ray tracing rendering uses ray to render, less use of the ray will result in noise. Ray used more will produce a higher quality image but will take operation time longer. To reduce operation time whiles using fewer rays, Learning Base Filtering algorithm using neural network was applied. it's not always produce optimize result. In this paper, a new approach to Matrix Multiplication that is based on General Matrix Multiplication for improved performance. The development environment, we used specialized in high speed parallel processing of OpenCL. The proposed architecture was verified using Kintex UltraScale XKU6909T-2FDFG1157C FPGA board. The time it takes to calculate the parameters is about 1.12 times fast than that of Verilog-HDL structure.

The advancement of Internet network technology has triggered the emergence of new OTT video content platforms, increasing demand for content and altering consumption patterns. This trend is bringing positive changes to the South Korean animation industry, where diverse and high-quality animation content is becoming increasingly important. As investment in technology grows, video production technology continues to advance. Specifically, 3D animation and VFX production technologies are enabling effects that were previously unthinkable, offering detailed and realistic graphics. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is providing new opportunities for this technological growth. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is automating repetitive tasks, thereby enhancing production efficiency and enabling innovations that go beyond traditional production methods. Cutting-edge technologies like 3D animation and VFX are being continually researched and are expected to be more actively integrated into the production process. Digital technology is also expanding the creative horizons for artists. The future of AI and advanced technologies holds boundless potential, and there is growing anticipation for how these will elevate the video content industry to new heights.

NVS (Novel View Synthesis) is a field in computer vision that reconstructs new views of a scene from a set of input views. Real-time rendering and high performance are essential for NVS technology to be effectively utilized in various applications. Recently, 3D-GS (3D Gaussian Splatting) has gained popularity due to its faster training and inference times compared to those of NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields)-based methodologies. However, since 3D-GS reconstructs a 3D (Three-Dimensional) scene by splitting and cloning (Density Control) Gaussian points, the number of Gaussian points continuously increases, causing the model to become heavier as training progresses. To address this issue, we propose two methodologies: 1) Gaussian blending, an improved density control methodology that removes unnecessary Gaussian points, and 2) a performance enhancement methodology using a depth estimation model to minimize the loss in representation caused by the blending of Gaussian points. Experiments on the Tanks and Temples Dataset show that the proposed methodologies reduce the number of Gaussian points by up to 4% while maintaining performance.

CT, MRI와 같은 의료 영상을 3차원 재구성을 통해 3차원으로 가시화하는 기술은 의료 분야에서 진단과 진료에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이는 의사에게 정확한 진단과 시술에 대한 확신을 환자에게는 시술에 대한 이해와 신뢰를 심어준다. 치아의 경우 치과 진료가 개개의 치아에 이루어진다는 점을 고려하면 개개의 치아가 개별적으로 모델링 되어 3차원 상에 가시화 되어야 한다. Contour 기반 알고리즘은 2차원 단면 데이터로부터 고속 렌더링과 높은 품질의 3차원 모델 생성이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 CT에서 추출한 치아 contour 데이터로부터 삼각형 패치를 생성하고, 어금니의 분기 문제를 해결하는 3차원 치아 모델 생성을 위한 contour 기반 알고리즘을 제안한다.
