To improve the performance of tiled display system, two parallel tiled display algorithms are proposed by combining the sort-first and the sort-last sorting methods. In the proposed algorithms, the view frustum culling is employed along with the OpenGL display list for the sort-first sorting, and the pre-detection sort-last sparse sorting method is used for sort-last sorting. Through the benchmarking tests, the performances of two proposed algorithms are investigated. Based on the observations, it is suggested how to select an optimal algorithm among the two proposed parallel tiled display algorithms for the given visualization model.

In this paper, a tiled display system is developed to get a high-resolution image in visualization of large-scale structural analysis data with low-resolution display devices and low-cost cluster computer system. Concerning the hardware system, some of the crucial points are investigated, and a new beam-projector positioner is designed and manufactured to resolve the keystone phenomena which result in distorted image. In the development of tiled display software, Qt and OpenGL are utilized for GUI and rendering, respectively. To obtain the entire tiled image, LAM-MPI is utilized to synchronize the several sub-images produced from each cluster computer node.

볼륨 렌더링은 스칼라 데이터로 구성된 3 차원 볼륨 데이터를 가시화하는 기법을 가리키며, 유체 역학, 지진, 기상, 해안, 천문, 의료 등 다양한 분야에서 데이터를 분석하는데 널리 사용된다. 최근에는 대용량 볼륨 데이터가 생성되면서 고해상도 디스플레이에 대한 요구가 높아졌으며, 이에 따라 타일형 디스플레이 장치에서 볼륨 데이터를 가시화하려는 시도가 많이 이뤄지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 타일형 디스플레이 장치에서 볼륨 데이터를 가시화하는 기법을 구현했다. 볼륨 데이터 렌더링은 타일형 디스플레이 장치와 연결된 PC-클러스터에서 그래픽스 하드웨어를 사용하는 볼륨 렌더링 기법으로 수행했으며, 이렇게 렌더링된 결과 이미지를 컴포지팅함으로써 해당 디스플레이 장치에 적절한 이미지를 생성했다.

This paper describes the iTABLE tabletop tiled display system which is designed for displaying high-resolution scientific visualization. Unlike other tabletop systems that typically use a projection-based single display, iTABLE system is suitable for visualizing and sharing high-resolution data, and it is capable of facilitating group interaction with interactive data visualizations on a table and distributed collaborative visualizations with other tiled displays. First, it surveys prior works on tabletop and tiled display systems as well as scientific visualization, and it describes the design and implementation of iTABLE system, and middleware and an infrared camera-based tangible user interface designed for iTABLE system. It will then discuss some high-resolution scientific visualization applications developed for iTABLE followed by conclusions and future research directions.

In this paper, an efficient technique is proposed to integrate the 3D user interface with the tiled display system in PC cluster environment. In the developed 3D user interface software, various menus are provided to increase the user friendliness of the interface, including the several model-control-commands. To eliminate the noise produced from the 3D user interface devices, the box filtering algorithm is employed. Further, a communication splitting algorithm, which is a kind of asynchronous communication method, is proposed to reduce the motion delay between the 3D interface and the tiled display system, and its efficiency is validated through the benchmarking tests.

볼륨 렌더링은 3차원이나 그 이상의 차원의 볼륨 데이터에서 의미있는 정보를 추출해 내어 직관적으로 표출하는 가시화 기법을 말하며 의료영상, 기상학, 유체역학 등 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 한편, 최근 PC 하드웨어의 급격한 발전으로 과거에는 슈퍼컴퓨터에서나 가능했던 대용량 볼륨 데이터의 가시화가 일반 PC 환경에서도 가능하게 되었다. GPU의 꼭지점 및 픽셀 쉐이더의 수치 계산에 최적화된 벡터 연산으로 빠른 볼륨 가시화를 가능하게 한 것이다. 그러나 GPU의 메모리 용량의 한계로 대용량의 볼륨 데이터를 빠르게 가시화하는 것은 지금까지 어려운 문제로 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 GPU의 텍스쳐 메모리 크기보다 큰 볼륨 데이터를 여러 개의 GPU 메모리에 분산시키고 이를 꼭지점 및 픽셀 쉐이더를 이용하여 빠르게 렌더링하여 타일형 디스플레이에서 고해상도로 가시화하는 시스템을 디자인하고 구현하고자 하였다.

Recently as a scalable ultra-high-resolution display solution, networked tiled displays are realizing the simultaneous visualization of large number of media contents by dividing the processing (including decoding and rendering) and displaying tasks of display applications. However, users directly should know required resources in advance and directly choose machines for processing and displaying of media. In order to reduce the complexity, we propose new methods that analyze required resources for visualization of media and allocate the resources to processing machines. The usability of proposed method is verified by running several experiments over networked display system.

This paper introduce a structure of haptic collaboration system over high resolution tiled-display, and proposes a object based efficient display method for high resolution display in integrated system. in addition, a modeling of visualization system is defined to evaluate performance of the proposed method. Both haptic system and tiled-display system have requirements of computational power. A haptic device is unstable if haptic rendering rate is less than 1kHz. A requirement of tiled-display systems is frame rate of display. It requires update of 30 frame fer sec. If we use these systems independently, we can satisfy each requirements. However, if we integrate two systems, performance of entire system significantly decreases because of lack of resources. In this paper, therefore, we propose a segmentation-based display method for ultra high resolution display in integrated system. The proposed method reduces redundancy of display data by reducing a display rate of static objects. Finally, a modeling of visualization system is defined to evaluate performance of the proposed method.

Maneuverability of ships has been receiving a great deal of attention both concerning navigation safety and the prediction of ship maneuvering characteristics, to improve it. high-lift device could be applied to design of rudder at design stage. Now, we carried out the flow visualization and investigation of flow field around a flap rudder(trailing-edge flap). Flow visualization results of flap defection shown as the flow around a NACA0020 Flap Rudder will be conducted in a Circulating Water Channel. The purpose of this investigation will be to investigate the development of the separation region on the flap rudder with the variation of the angle of attack and determine the angle of attack at which the flow separates and reattaches.
