Implicit surface model is convenient for modeling objects composed of complicated surfaces such as characters and liquids. Moreover, it can express various forms of surface using a relatively small amount of data. In addition, it can represent both the surface and the volume of objects. Therefore, the modeling technique can be applied efficiently to deformation of objects and 3D animation. However, the existing implicit primitives are parallel to the axis or symmetrical with respect to the axes. Thus it is not easy to use them in modeling objects with various forms of motions. In this paper, we propose an efficient animation method for modeling various poses of characters according to matching with motion capture data by adding the attribute of rotation to metacube which is one of the implicit primitives.

컴퓨터 그래픽스는 컴퓨터를 이용하여 다양한 이미지를 생성하는 응용 학문이다. 컴퓨터를 이용하여 이미지를 생성하기 위해서는 나타내고자 하는 물체를 표현하는 모델링과 표현된 모델을 이미지로 나타내기 위한 렌더링이 필요하며, 일반적으로 모델링 방법에 따라 렌더링 기법도 좌우된다.

본 기고에서는 멀티미디어 컨텐트에 등장하는 애니메이션 캐릭터를 개발하는 캐릭터 모델링 시스템의 기본적인 요구기능과 캐릭터 모델링 기법을 분석하고, 상용화된 모델링 시스템 및 라이브러리를 소개, 분석한다. 앞으로 설계되는 캐릭터 모델링 소프트웨어는 모델링 및 애니메이션 시스템을 통합한 환경에서 곡면기반의 기하 모델링 소프트웨어가 주류를 이룰 것으로 전망된다. 또한 캐릭터의 외피와 같이 유연하고 부드러운 물체를 표현하기 위하여 physically based modeling 기법과 음함수 곡면이 많이 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

In order to fill the holes with complex shapes in the large polygon model, a new approach which is based on the implicit surface interpolation method combined with domain decomposition method is presented. In the present study, a surface is constructed by creating smooth implicit surface from the incomplete polygon model through which the surface should pass. In the method an implicit surface is defined by a radial basis function, a continuous scalar-valued function over the domain $R^3$ The generated surface is the set of all points at which this scalar function takes on the value zero and is created by placing zero-valued constraints at the vertices of the polygon model. In this paper the well-known domain decomposition method is used in order to treat the large polygon model. The global domain of interest is divided into smaller domains where the problem can be solved locally. LU decomposition method is used to solve a set of small local problems and their local solutions are combined together using the weighting coefficients to obtain a global solution. In order to show the validity of the present study, various hole fillings are carried out fur the large and complex polygon model of arbitrary topology.

This paper proposes a new hybrid anti-aliasing method for reducing aliasing appearing on an implicit surface using the point sampling. The hybrid anti-aliasing method is a method that finds differences in the values of pixel shown in Z-buffers for an implicit surface and thereby uses each of three types of Z-buffer. After determining the level of differences, it expresses a 3 dimensional object by using a multi Z-buffer if the level is severe, a double Z-buffer for a middle level, and only the original Z-buffer for a negligible difference. In comparison with the existing method in which multi Z-buffers have been entirely used for enhancing the anti-aliasing effect, the hybrid anti-aliasing method is an efficient method demonstrating an effect similar to the one using a multi Z-buffer while reducing the number of Z-buffers to be used.

음함수 곡면 모델의 대표적인 구조 요소인 메타볼은 다양한 형태의 곡면을 모델링하는데 뛰어난 성능을 갖는다[1]. 그러나 복잡한 형태의 물체는 곡면 뿐 아니라 평면적인 요소를 포함하기 때문에 메타볼만으로 부정형 물체를 모델링하는 데에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 메타큐브는 메타볼의 장점을 수용하면서 적은 수의 데이터로 평면 형태의 물체가지 모델링할 수 있는 메타볼의 확장 형태로서, 두 개의 매개변수만으로 구에서 정육면체까지 자유로운 확장이 가능하다[2]. 본 논문은 메타큐브를 이용하여 볼륨 데이터로부터 3차원 물체를 자동 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 볼륨 데이터의 형태에 기반하여 분할된 볼륨 트리를 이용하여 비교적 빠른 시간에 볼륨 데이터로부터 비슷한 형태의 3차원 물체를 재구성하는 메타큐브 집합을 추출한다. 다양한 볼륨데이타에 대한 실험 결과를 제시함으로써 제안 방법의 효용성을 증명한다.

This paper aims at reducing aliasing in pixel-based rendering for 3D implicit surfaces by shifted multi Z-buffers. The voxelized implicit surfaces with high resolution take so much time in generating high Quality image without aliasing. So in rendering a voxelized implicit surfaces, a new antialiasing method which can generate a high quality image at a lower resolution is required. Therefore, this paper suggests that a method which get various sampling values by shifting several z-buffers in each voxel and average them, The advantages are effective memory, simple calculation and easy convergence with various filters. But, the increase of number of z-buffer also increase the consuming time rapidly. Therefore, the research for representing the relation the degree of image quality with the consumption of time as a number is required.

본 논문에서는 효율적인 2차 오차 함수를 이용하여 입자 기반에서 EMC(Extended Marching Cubes) 알고리즘을 구현할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. Smoothing 커널(Kernels)을 통해 계산한 입자 평균 위치에서 레벨셋(Level-set)을 계산해 스칼라장을 구축한다. 그리고 난 뒤 SPH(Smoothed particle hydrodynamics)기반의 커널을 통해 밀도, 입자 평균 위치를 계산한다. 스칼라장을 이용해 등가 곡면(Isosurface)을 찾고 음함수로 표현된 표면을 구성한다. SPH 커널을 공간에서 미분하면 공간상의 어느 위치에서나 기울기를 계산할 수 있고, 이를 통해 얻어진 법선벡터를 이용하여 일반적인 EMC나 DC(Dual contouring)에서 사용하는 2차 오차 함수를 효율적으로 설계한다. 결과적으로 제안하는 방법은 메쉬와 같이 연결정보다 없는 입자 기반 데이터에서도 EMC 알고리즘을 구현하여 볼륨(Volume) 손실을 줄이고, 복잡한 음함수 표면을 표현할 수 있게 한다.

Recent the advanced technologies in medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) make doctors improve the diagnostic skill with detailed anatomical information. In general, it is necessary to get a number of MRI images in order to obtain more detail information. However, the performance of MRI machines of privately run hospitals is not good and thus we may obtain only a few of MRI images. If 3D surface reconstruction is accomplished with a few slices, then it generates 3D surface of poor qualify. This paper propose a way to Set a 3D surface of high quality from a few of number of slices. First of all, our algorithm detects the boundary of tissues which we want to reconstruct as a 3D object and find out the set of vortices on the boundary. And then we generate a 3D implicit surface to interpolate the boundary points by using radial basis function. Lastly, we render the 3D implicit surface by using Marching cube algorithms.
