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.

A scan order converter has to be placed before the JPEG encoder to provide $8{\times}8$ blocks from the pixels in raster scan order. Recently a hardware architecture has been proposed to implement a scan converter based on the single line memory. Since both read and write accesses happen at each cycle, however, the largest part of the entire power budget is occupied by the SRAM itself. In this paper, the data packing and unpacking procedure is inserted in the processing chain, such that the access frequency to the SRAM is reduced to 1/8 by adopting a packed larger data unit. The simulation results show that the resultant power consumption is reduced down to 16% for the SXGA resolution.

In this paper, we present research results of developing high performance scan conversion unit and implementing it on FPGA chip. To increase performance of scan conversion unit, we propose an architecture of scan converter that is a SIMD architecture and uses tile-based traversing method. The proposed scan conversion unit can operate about 124Mhz clock frequency on Xilinx Vertex4 LX100 device. To verify the scan conversion unit, we also develop shader unit, texture mapping unit and $240{\times}320$ color TFT-LCD controller to display outputs of the scan conversion unit on TFT-LCD. Because the scan conversion unit implemented on FPGA has 311Mpixels/sec pixel rate, it is applicable to desktop pc's 3d graphics system as well as mobile 3d graphics system needing high pixel rates.

NURBS는 매개변수를 이용하여 3차원에서 곡면을 표현한 방법으로서 노트벡터, 조정점, 가중치로 구성된다. 레벨셋은 공간을 음함수로 정의된 장으로 형성하여 음함수의 일정한 값을 추적하여 곡면을 표현한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 스캔 데이터를 NURBS 형태로 추출한 뒤 이를 정밀한 레벨셋 모델로 변환하였다. 레벨셋 모델을 구성하기 위해서 형성된 음함수는 부호를 갖는 거리함수를 사용하였고, 거리함수를 정밀하게 나타내기 위해 Newton 순환법을 이용하였다. 변환된 레벨셋 모델을 이용하여 형상의 몰핑을 수행하였다. 몰핑은 초기 형상을 목표 형상으로 변화시켜 나가는 과정으로서 레벨셋 모델을 이용한 몰핑은 용이성과 질적인 측면에서 우수하다. 수치 예제에서는 스캔 데이터의 레벨셋 모델 변환과 변환된 형상이 자연스럽게 목표형상으로 변화하는지를 확인한다.

ASIC 설계에서 gated clock으로 동작하는 clock을 입력으로 받는 회로들은 스캔 테스트를 수행하기에 용이하지 않다. 이러한 회로들에 대하여 스캔 테스트기법을 적용하기 위한 설계변경기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 설계변경기술은 비동기 회로를 동기 회로로 변환함으로써 스캔 기법을 적용할 수 있는 회로로 변환하게 된다. 이로써 테스트를 좀 더 용이하게 수행할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 결함 시험도를 높이게 되는 효과를 가져올 수 있다.

ATSC (Advanced Television System Committee) has specified 18 video formats for DTV (Digital Television), e.g., scan format, size format, and frame rate format conversion. Effective MPEG-2 video transcoders should support any conversion between the above-mentioned formats. Scan format conversion Is hard to Implement because it may often induce frame rate and size format conversion together. Especially. because of picture type conversion caused by scan format conversion, the computational burden of motion estimation (ME) in transcoding becomes serious. This paper proposes a fast ME algorithm for MPEG-2 video transcoding supporting scan format conversion. Firstly, we extract and compose a set of candidate motion vectors (MVs) from the input bit-stream to comply with the re-encoding format. Secondly, the best MV is chosen among several candidate MVs by using a weighted median selector. Simulation results show that the proposed ME algorithm provides outstanding PSNR performance close to full search ME, while reducing the transcoding complexity significantly.

OGC에서는 다양한 분야의 지리공간 정보를 손쉽게 상호 운용하기 위해 이질적인 환경의 지리공간 정보를 XML로 인코딩하는 GML 명세를 제시하였다. 그러나 GML 문서는 텍스트 구조로 되어있어 데이타 용량이 커지며 전송 시 속도가 현저히 저하되고, 문서 스캔 비용이 많이 든다는 문제가 있다. 그러므로, 대용량의 GML 문서를 정보 손실 없이 변환하여 전송 속도와 문서 스캔 속도를 향상시키기 위한 방법이 필요하다. 이에 OGC에서는 최근 바이너리 XML 형식인 BXML을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 BXML 형식을 사용하여 GML 문서를 토큰화하고, 토큰을 정의된 바이트 코드로 변환하여 문서의 크기를 줄이고 전송 속도와 문서 스캔 속도를 향상시키는 효율적인 GML 문서 변환 및 전송 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. GML 운서 변환 및 전송 시스템은 GML 문서와 BXML 문서를 상호 변환하는 기능과 BXML 문서에서 공간 데이타를 추출하여 디스플레이 하는 기능을 제공한다. 성능 평가 결과 GML 문서 변환 및 전송 시스템 사용시 GML 문서의 크기는 최대 80% 감소하였고 전송 속도는 최대 3.5배 향상되었다.

We proposed a digital watermarking method that it is possible to identify the copyright because the watermark is detected in the first print-scan and to protect a forgery because the watermark is not detected in the second print-scan. The proposed algorithm uses LPM and DFT transform for the robustness to the distortion of pixel value and geometrical distortion. This methods could improve watermark detection performance and image quality by selecting maximum sampling radius in LPM transform. After analyzing the characteristics of print-scan process, we inserted the watermark in the experimentally selected frequency bands that survives robustly to the first print-scan and is not detected in the second print-scan, using the characteristic of relatively large distortion in high frequency bands of DFT As the experimental result, the original proof is possible because average similarity degree 5.13 is more than the critical value 4.0 in the first print-scan. And the detection of forgery image is also possible because average similarity degree 2.76 is less than the critical value 4.0 in the second print-scan.

This study compares transformation algorithms for co-registration of terrestrial laser scan data. Pair-wise transformation which is used for transformation of scan data from more than two different view accumulates errors. ICP algorithm commonly used for co-registration between scan data needs initial geometry information. And it is difficult to co-register simultaneously because of too many control points when managing scan at the same time. Therefore, this study perform global registration technique using matching points. Matching points are extracted automatically from intensity image by SIFT and global registration is performed using GP analysis. There are advantages for operation speed, accuracy, automation in suggested global registration algorithm. Through the result from it, registration algorithms can be developed by considering accuracy and speed.
