보다 현실적인 3차원 영상을 얻기 위한 텍스쳐 매핑은 대부분의 그래픽 시스템에서사용한다. 3차원 그래픽 시스템이 생성한 객체의 표면 위에 2차원 이미지를 입힘으로써 그래픽 시스템의 성능저하를 가져오지 않으면서 영상의 현실성을 높이는 텍스쳐 매핑은 텍스쳐 이미지를 저장하기 위해 많음 메로리가 요구되면 고성능 텍스쳐 시스템을 위해 빠른 메로리 접근과 광대한 대역폭이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 벡터 양자와(Vector quantization) 압축기법을 이용하여 텍스쳐 이미지에 대한 효율적인 압축을 통해 많은 메모리 요구를 해결하며 압축된 텍스쳐 이미지의 효율적인 캐싱을 통해 빠른 메로리 접근과 광대한 대역폭 문제를 해결할 수 있는 구조를 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 구조는 버퍼링을 통해 메로리 접근 시간을 숨김으로써 고성능 텍스쳐 시스템을 지원할 수 있다.

ASTC is one of the standard texture formats supported in OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.0 (and later versions), and it has been increasingly used on mobile platforms (Android and iOS). ASTC's most important feature is the block size configuration, thereby providing a trade-off between compression quality and rates. With the higher number of textures, however, it is difficult to manually determine the optimal block sizes of each texture. To solve the problem, we present a new approach based on PSNR values to automatically determine the ASTC block size. A brute-force approach, which compresses a texture on all block sizes and compares the PSNR values of the compressed textures, can increase the compression time by up to 14 times. In contrast, our three-step approach minimizes the compression-time overhead. According to our experiments on a texture set including 64 various textures, our method determined the block sizes from 4×4 to 12×12 and reduced the size of compressed files by 68%.

PC 그래픽스 하드웨어의 급격한 발전에 따라 과거 슈퍼컴퓨터 급에서나 가능하였던 대용량 데이터의 볼륨 렌더링을 일반 PC에서 수행하려는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 특히, PC 그래픽스 하드웨어의 꼭지점 및 픽셀 쉐이더는 기존의 고정된 그래픽스 파이프라인에서 벗어나 사용자가 렌더링 과정에 개입하여 프로그래밍을 할 수 있도록 하여 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 그래픽스 하드웨어의 텍스쳐 메모리의 크기보다 큰 볼륨 데이터의 가시화는 아직까지 충분히 빠르지 못하며 텍스쳐의 압축으로 인하여 영상 품질도 좋지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 그래픽스 하드웨어의 프로그래밍 기능 중 꼭지점 좌표 및 텍스쳐 좌프의 조작, 그리고 픽셀 쉐이더를 통한 퐁 쉐이딩 연산을 이용하여 그래픽스 하드웨어의 메모리 크기보다 큰 대용량 볼륨 데이터를 고품질로 가시화하였다.

현재 3차원 컴퓨터 그래픽 가속기에서 텍스쳐 매핑과 같은 실감기법을 처리해 주기 위해서는 넓은 대역폭과 많은 메모리를 필요로 한다. 또한 PDA와 같은 차세대 mobile 응용분야에서는 점차적으로 3차원 그래픽의 지원이 요구되고 있는 추세이다. 이를 mobile 환경에서 지원하기 위해서는 낮은 소비 전력 및 적은 메모리, 그리고 하드웨어 비용 등의 제약 요건이 따른다. 그러나 이러한 제약 조건에도 불구하고, mobile 환경에 적합한 3차원 그래픽 하드웨어의 연구는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 Windows CE 기반의 mobile 환경에서 Direct3D의 압축 텍스쳐 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하는 하드웨어를 제시한다. 이는 1 cycle에 2개 texel을 처리할 수 있으며, 작은 2-level cache를 사용하여 대역폭을 효과적으로 줄였다.

This study verified the memory occupancy, CPU processing speed, and average frame comparison of texture formats of ASTC and ETC in mobile Android OS. The virtual game scene was implemented as an experimental environment and built on the Android platform. Based on this, comparative verification data was extracted. ASTC has a 36% lower share of memory usage of 2D textures than ETC. CPU processing speed was 18% faster. The average frame confirmed 54 frames that was 58% higher. In the smart mobile game environment, ASTC confirmed the result of comparative advantage over ETC.

For reducing outer reflection in mono-crystalline silicon solar cell, wet texturing process has been adapted for long period of time. Nowadays mixed solution with potassium hydroxide and isopropyl alcohol is used in silicon surface texturing by most manufacturers. In the process of silicon texturing, etch rate is very critical for effective texturing. Several parameters influence the result of texturing. Most of all, temperature, process time and concentration of potassium hydroxide can be classified as important factors. In this paper, temperature, process time and concentration of potassium hydroxide were set as major parameters and 3-level test matrix was created by using robust design for the optimized condition. The process optimization in terms of lowest reflection and stable etch rate can be traced by using robust design method.

In this paper, a new anisotropic diffusion based on Alvarez, Lions, and Morel (ALM) diffusion model is proposed for the suppression of blocking artifact caused by discrete cosine transform (DCT) based image compression. The proposed diffusion model, which incorporates a 'rate control parameter' (RCP), makes it possible to reduce blocking artifacts while to preserve the edge. The RCP controls the rate between isotropic and anisotropic diffusion. Isotropic diffusion is encouraged to eliminate the blocking artifacts in a block boundary of a smooth region, while anisotropic diffusion is encouraged to keep the edge or texture sharp in edge and a block boundary within an edge region. Additionally, to avoid oversmoothness of the texture region, a 'speed control parameter' (SCP), which makes diffusion process slow in the texture region, is employed.

This paper proposes method to improve the image quality degradation that show when reconstructing compressed images at low bit rate by using wavelet transform. The image quality distortion is blocking artifacts and noise in DCT's compression but blocking artifacts of wavelet transform does not appear and ringing artifacts was appeared near the edge. This proposed technique is classified to part which is ringing artifacts of the edge vicinity appears which is not, apply adaptive filter to each region improved image. A edge region which is harsh to the eye is applied by Canny mask and finding strong edge region, search the neighborhood classify the flat region and the texture region, and apply to each region suitable filter, As experiment result, PSNR value of method that is proposed in that low bit rate compression image that ringing artifact appears became low about 0.05db, but 0.023db degree rose strong edge region and nat region's image. Also, showed picture quality improved more than ringing artifacts in nat region when see from subjective viewpoint of human.

In 3D video compression, a disparity vector (DV) pointing a corresponding block position in an adjacent view is a key coding tool to exploit statistical correlation in multi-view videos. In this paper, neighboring block-based disparity vector (NBDV) is shown with detail algorithm descriptions and coding performance analysis. The proposed method derives a DV from disparity motion vector information, obtained from spatially and temporally neighboring blocks, and provides a significant coding gain about 20% BD-rate saving in a texture-video-first-coding scheme. The proposed DV derivation method is adopted into the recent 3D video coding standards such as 3D-AVC and 3D-HEVC as the state-of-the-art DV derivation method.

The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard provides superior coding efficiency by utilizing highly flexible block structure and more diverse coding modes. However, rate-distortion optimization (RDO) process for the decision of optimal block size and prediction mode requires excessive computational complexity. To alleviate the computation load, this paper proposes a new moment-based fast CU size decision algorithm for intra coding in HEVC. In the proposed method, moment values are computed in each CU block to estimate the texture complexity of the block from which the decision on an additional CU splitting procedure is performed. Unlike conventional methods which are mostly variance-based approaches, the proposed method incorporates the third-order moments of the CU block in the design of the fast CU size decision algorithm, which enables an elaborate classification of CU types and thus improves the RD-performance of the fast algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method saves 32% encoding time with 1.1% increase of BD-rate compared to HM-10.0, and 4.2% decrease of BD-rate compared to the conventional variance-based fast algorithm.
