Digital simulation which was introduced to the architectural field due to the rapid growth of computer graphics, gave birth to a new type of contents called 'virtual reality', led by the interaction with the users and real time processing. The public attention is drawn to the virtual reality's potential as a next generational space simulation it, having the unique characteristics of 'simulation', 'interactivity', 'tole-presence', and 'immersion', is capable of taking a virtual tour of a space with a size equivalent to that of a real space, as well as proceeding with the design progress. Nonetheless, many problems impeding CPU's real time processing of an excessively loaded architectural model data have been pinpointed over the time. Yet such GPU based game engines as 'DirectX' and 'OpenGL', developed to deal with these impediments, have not been easily applied to the architectural simulation in the design process, due to the high license cost and the specific technical requirements for the system. The virtual reality has been developed and distributed centering around the gaming field, and game developers recently show a greater tendency to include level editors in the package for the expandability purpose. Thus, we plan to propose architecture simulation which utilizes level editors in this study. In addition, the compatibility of the game engine based level editors of Quake and Unreal which form the standards for the open source FPS games, based on VRML, the standard format for the virtual reality, was compared and analyzed. Taking the example of Villa Savoye of Le Corbusier, its application possibility as an architecture simulation was assessed, by measuring the extent to which the performance of such characteristic features of the virtual reality as interactivity, immersion, and tele-presence, was improved.

개수로 흐름 해석을 위해 수치모형을 적용할 때 반드시 거쳐야 하는 과정이 격자망을 구성하는 일이다. 불규칙한 형상의 자연수로를 모의할 때 격자망 생성은 쉬운 일이 아니며, 따라서 가시적으로 격자망 생성을 돕고, 격자망의 수정도 용이한 도구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수심적분된 흐름방정식을 지배방정식으로 하여 개수로 흐름 해석을 용이하게 하고자 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI)를 개발하였으며, 이를 소개하고자 한다. 격자망은 기본적으로 사각형과 삼각형 요소로 구성될 수 있으며, 유한차분모형 등에서는 정형사각형 격자망을, 유한요소모형에서는 비정형 사각형 및 삼각형 격자망 또는 혼합망을 생성시킬 수 있다. 이산점(scatter points)이나 절점(node points)을 생성하거나 기존의 자료를 불러들여 삼각망 또는 사각망을 형성시킬 수 있으며, 연속선(polylines)을 작성하여 형성된 폐다각형(polygones)을 이용하여 정규 또는 비정규의 삼각망 또는 사각망을 형성시킬 수 있다. 또한 두 점사이를 선형 또는 반원 형태로 편향 정도(biased value)를 설정하여 원하는 개수만큼 나눌 수 있도록 하여, 보다 효율적인 격자형성이 가능토록 하였다. 기존 상용 프로그램에서 작성된 격자를 불러들여 활용 가능하며, 백그라운드 이미지로 지형도나 위성사진을 띄어놓고 이미지 상에서 격자를 형성할 수도 있다. 기본적으로 마우스를 이용하여 화면의 이동, 확대 및 축소와 점, 선, 요소의 생성 및 선택이 가능하다. 본 프로그램은 Qt와 modern OpenGL을 바탕으로 제작되었으며, 마이크로소프트사의 windows 뿐만 아니라 Mac OS, Linux 버전의 설치 파일 작성이 가능하다.

The accuracy of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in estimating the computed tomography radiation dose is highly dependent on the accuracy of CT scanner model. A system was developed to observe the 3D model intuitively and to calculate the X-ray energy spectrum and the bowtie (BT) filter model more accurately in Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP). Labview's built-in Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) was used to display basic surfaces, and constructive solid geometry (CSG) method was used to realize Boolean operations. The energy spectrum was calculated by simulating the process of electronic shooting and the BT filter model was accurately modeled based on the calculated shape curve. Physical data from a study was used as an example to illustrate the accuracy of the constructed model. RMSE between the simulation and the measurement results were 0.97% and 0.74% for two filters of different shapes. It can be seen from the comparison results that to obtain an accurate CT scanner model, physical measurements should be taken as the standard. The energy spectrum library should be established based on Monte Carlo simulations with modifiable input files. It is necessary to use the three-segment splicing modeling method to construct the bowtie filter model.

NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-Spline) is widely used in CAD system and NC data for high speed machining. Conventional CAM system changes NURBS surface to tessellated meshes or Z-map model, and produces linear tool path. The linear tool path is not good fur precise machining and high speed machining. In this paper, an algorithm to change linear tool path to NURBS one was studied and the machining result of NURBS tool path was compared with that of linear tool path. The N-post including both a post-processing and a virtual machining software was developed. The N-Post transforms linear tool path to NURBS tool path and quickly shades a machined product on OpenGL view, while comparing a machined surface with a original CAD one. A virtulal machined model of original tool path and post-processed tool path was compared to original CAD model. The machining error and machining time of post-processed NURBS tool path were investigated.

When we develop an OpenGL-based coastline map that displays the high resolution data of GSHHG, it takes tens of seconds until the first scene is rendered. That is because it takes time to tessellate polygons with a huge number of vertices. A commonly used solution is that it converts original data to a customized data in advance, and it displays these. But if we should use original data to display a coastline map, we need to find another solution. In this paper we suggest using a polygon splitting technique to minimize tessellation time. In order to prove its effectiveness, we implemented a software applied this technique and measured its performance. The software applied this technique took a few seconds to display the first scene and we confirmed its effectiveness.

We propose floating point arithmetic units for geometry operation of mobile 3D graphic processor. The proposed arithmetic units conform to the single precision format of IEEE standard 754-1985 that is a standard of floating point arithmetic. The rounding algorithm applies the nearest toward zero form. The proposed adder/subtraction unit and multiplier have one clock cycle latency, and the inversion unit has three clock cycle latency. We estimate the required numbers of arithmetic operation for Viewing transformation. The first stage of geometry operation is composed with translation, rotation and scaling operation. The translation operation requires three addition and the rotation operation needs three addition and six multiplication. The scaling operation requires three multiplication. The viewing transformation is performed in 15 clock cycles. If the adder and the multiplier have their own in/out ports, the viewing transformation can be done in 9 clock cycles. The error margin of proposed arithmetic units is smaller than $10^{-5}$ that is the request in the OpenGL standard. The proposed arithmetic units carry out operations in 100MHz clock frequency.

Vulnerability assessment is a process to calculate the damage degree of a combat vehicle when the combat vehicle is attacked by an enemy. When the vehicle is hit, it is necessary to analyze the shot line to calculate which components are damaged and judge whether the armor of the vehicle is penetrated by enemy's warhead. To analyze the shot line efficiently, this paper presents the target modeling and the shot line analysis system to assess vulnerability of the ground combat vehicle. This system is easily able to do several functions: 1) the program reads STL files converted from CAD model which is designed by commercial CAD software. 2) It calculates the intersection between triangle of STL mesh and the shot line, and check if the components of the model are penetrated. 3) This program can visualize the results using OpenGL. The vulnerability assessment using the shot line analysis can be used to model the armor of the combat vehicle and arrange the inner components effectively in the early stage of development of the combat vehicle.

Voronoi diagrams are powerful for solving spatial problems among particles and have been used in many disciplines of science and engineering. In particular, the Voronoi diagram of three-dimensional spheres, also called the additively-weighted Voronoi diagram, has proven its powerful capabilities for solving the spatial reasoning problems for the arrangement of atoms in both molecular biology and material sciences. In order to solve application problems, the dual structure, called the quasi-triangulation, and its derivative structure, called the beta-complex, are frequently used with the Voronoi diagram itself. However, the Voronoi diagram, the quasi-triangulation, and the beta-complexes are sometimes regarded as somewhat difficult for ordinary users to understand. This paper presents the two-dimensional counterparts of their definitions and introduce the BetaConcept program which implements the theory so that users can easily learn the powerful concept and capabilities of these constructs in a plane. The BetaConcept program was implemented in the standard C++ language with MFC and OpenGL and freely available at Voronoi Diagram Research Center (http://voronoi.hanyang.ac.kr).

A vitellogenin cDNA was cloned from the bumblebee Bombus ignitus. The cDNA encoding B. ignitus vitellogenin (BiVg) is 5473 bases long with an open reading frame of 1773 amino acid residues. BiVg possesses two consensus (RXXR/S) cleavage sites and has the conserved DGXR and GL/ICG motif near its C-terminus. The deduced amino acid sequence of BiVg cDNA showed significant similarity with hymenopteran Vgs (51% identity to Apis mellifera Vg, and $33{\sim}36%$ to other insect Vgs). The BiVg cDNA was expressed as a 200-kDa polypeptide in baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells. Northern and Western blot analyses showed the expression of BiVg in fat bodies of pupae and adults. In queens, the expression of BiVg was first detected in late pupal stage fat bodies, and secreted BiVg was also observed in late pupal stage hemolymph.

본 논문은 큰 구조물의 3파인 영상 재구성을 위해서 획득한 2차원 영상에서 특징점을 찾아 선으로 조합한 후 선 길이 정보를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 거대한 구조물의 외곽선 길이 정보 추출을 위해서는 광각 카메라에 의한 영상을 획득한다. 영상에서의 외곽선들은 모델의 기울어진 정보와 형태, 모델의 크기 등을 결정하게 되는데 광각카메라 사용에 의하여 배럴왜곡, 원근투영왜곡 등이 발생한다. 외곽선 정보 추출의 순서는 먼저모델의 2차원영상을 획득하고 이로부터 왜곡이 보정된 그레이영상을 획득한다. 이 그레이영상에서 잡음을 제거하고 특징점을 찾기 위하여 SUSAN 알고리즘을 사용한다. SUSAN알고리즘 기법은 적은 계산량과 잡음에 매우 강한 장점이 있어서 영상에서의 특징점을 얻기 위한 효과적인 기법이다. 특징점을 3차원 벡터공간에서 맵핑시킨 후 X, Y, Z 좌표축으로 점과 선으로 나타내고 시작점과 끝점의 좌표를 이용하여 벡터 길이를 얻는다. 이러한 벡터 데이터와 3차원 영상 재구성을 위한 라이브러리인 OpenGL을 사용하여 3차원 공간에 거대한 구조물들을 재구성하는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다.
