Spatial dithering techniques are the method of rendering the illusion of continuous-tone pictures on displays that are capable of producing only binary picture elements. In this paper, we propose a new dithering algorithm which diffuses error into nearby pixels symmetrically. This method complements the artifacts of the error diffusion dither for the graphic images and the short-comings of the ordered dither that can't display some intensity level. We applied this method to graphic images and obtained results that complement the short-comings of conventional method.

In this paper, we have developed the 6 DOF force display system to be based on the single PC. The system is composed of the force display device, the force reflecting rendering algorithm and the high-speed controller. The previous systems had a problem, that must adopt high performance workstation or 2-PC in order to control the graphics speedily and stably. In this paper, it is possible to improve the problem as to develop its exclusive controller and new rendering algorithm. The proposed new rendering algorithm is based on the Proxy algorithm, which can convert information of the position, the velocity, and the haptic information into the force-data. Especially, as to use the proxy algorithm, we can construct dynamical virtual-environment with the elasticity, the viscosity, the mass, and the friction force. As the result of the experiment, we found that our system has much superior characteristics than some other haptic interfaces, because it can control of 30,000 polygon model constructed virtual object with 1[kHz] haptic interrupt cycle and 20[Hz] graphic interrupt cycle in the single PC based system.

In this paper, we proposed new software for 3D rendering of MR images in the medical domain using C# wrapper of Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Microsoft .NET framework. Our objective in developing this software was to provide medical image segmentation, 3D rendering and visualization of hippocampus for diagnosis of Alzheimer disease patients using DICOM Images. Such three dimensional visualization can play an important role in the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. Segmented images can be used to reconstruct the 3D volume of the hippocampus, and it can be used for the feature extraction, measure the surface area and volume of hippocampus to assist the diagnosis process. This software has been designed with interactive user interfaces and graphic kernels based on Microsoft.NET framework to get benefited from C# programming techniques, in particular to design pattern and rapid application development nature, a preliminary interactive window is functioning by invoking C#, and the kernel of VTK is simultaneously embedded in to the window, where the graphics resources are then allocated. Representation of visualization is through an interactive window so that the data could be rendered according to user's preference.

This paper presents a real-time haptic rendering method for multi-contact interaction with virtual environments. Haptic systems often employ physics-based deformation models such as finite-element models and mass-spring models which demand heavy computational overhead. The haptic system can be designed to have two sampling times, T and JT, for the haptic loop and the graphic loop, respectively. A multi-rate output-estimation with an exponential forgetting factor is proposed to implement real-time haptic rendering for the haptic systems with two sampling rates. The computational burden of the output-estimation increases rapidly as the number of contact points increases. To reduce the computation of the estimation, the multi-rate output-estimation with reduced parameters is developed in this paper. Performance of the new output-estimation with reduced parameters is compared with the original output-estimation with full parameters and an exponential forgetting factor. Estimated outputs are computed from the estimated input-output model at a high rate, and trace the analytical outputs computed from the deformation model. The performance is demonstrated by simulation with a linear tensor-mass model.

In this Paper, we introduce an efficient on-line software service using an application customized graphic offloading library. The software service based on graphic offloading provides high-end software, like a 3D graphic design tool, as an on-line software service through using a client graphic rendering. When software is executed on server, its graphic works are handled by a client's GPU, while its data works are handled by a server's CPU. To improve the performance, we apply an asynchronous transmission channel scheme to our developed basic graphic offloading engine. Also, we add optimized common module and application specific module to our engine. To do that, we introduce how to implement the application specific module using analyzing patterns of graphic related APIs and messages that are generated by an executed software process. Also, we propose how to design the optimized common module using server side information caching. Finally, through the performance comparison experiment, we show that improved offloading engine has the better performance than old basic offloading engine.

Animation contents are gradually growing every year, but production period and budget for making one animation contents is insufficient as of now. In particular, in case of animation series that are broadcasted on television, many episodes should be made within a short period of production term. Hence, production pipeline of full three-dimensional animation is frequently chosen in this case. However, another problem emerges as the full three-dimensional animation also requires a lot of time for making high-quality background and for rendering. Composed animation is a production pipeline that attempts to solve such problem. It is a pipeline of producing animation by composing computer graphic (CG) character and real background. It requires relatively small number of human resources compared to the full three-dimensional animation pipeline. Hence, it has an advantage in that natural-looking image can be produced under efficient structure and time for rendering can also be reduced. This paper proposes an efficient process of producing composed animation by using miniature set and three-dimensional computer graphic.

Current rendering processors are organized mainly to process a triangle as fast as possible and recently parallel 3D rendering processors, which can process multiple triangles in parallel with multiple rasterizers, begin to appear. For high performance in processing triangles, it is desirable for each rasterizer have its own local pixel cache. However, the consistency problem may occur in accessing the data at the same address simultaneously by more than one rasterizer. In this paper, we propose a parallel rendering processor architecture resolving such consistency problem effectively. Moreover, the proposed architecture reduces the latency due to a pixel cache miss significantly. For the above two goals, effective memory organizations including a new pixel cache architecture are presented. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture achieves almost linear speedup at best case even in sixteen rasterizers.

This research describes render pass synthetic techniques required to use for the effectiveness of them in 3D animation synthetic technology. As the render pass is divided by property and synthesized after rendering, elaborate, rapid synthesis can be achieved. In particular, occlusion pass creates a screen as if it had a soft, light shading, expressing a sense of depth and boundary softness. It is converted into 2D image through a process of pass rendering of animation projects created in 3D space, then completed in synthetic software. Namely, 3D animation realizes the completeness of work originally planned through compositing, a synthetic process in the last half. To complete in-depth image, a scene manufactured in 3D software can be sent as a synthetic program by rendering the scene by layer and property. As recently the occlusion pass can express depth notwithstanding conducting GI rendering of 3D graphic outputs, it is an important synthetic map not omitted in the post-production process. Nonetheless, for the importance of it, currently the occlusion pass leaves much to be desired for research support and books summarizing and analyzing the characteristics of properties, and the principles and usages of them. Hence, this research was aimed to summarize the principles and usages of occlusion map, and analyze differences in the results of synthesis. Furthermore, it also summarized a process designating renderers and the map utilizing the properties, and synthetic software usages. For the future, it is hoped that effective and diverse latter expression techniques will be studied beyond the limitation of graphic expression based on trends diversifying technique development.
