OpenGL ES(OpenGL for Embedded System) 2.0 is one of the most widely used 3D graphics API(application progrma interface) standard for smart phones and tablet PCs at this time. During programming with this API, they prefer desktop environment rather than the target mobile environment, which has relatively low computing power. Thus, we need to emulate the OpenGL ES 2.0 API on the desktop PCs, where only OpenGL API libraries are available. In this paper, we present technical difficulties and their solutions to emulate OpenGL ES 2.0 on desktop PCs. Our final implementation of OpenGL ES 2.0 emulation library works on desktop PCs and passed over more than 96% of the official CTS(conformance test suites) to prove the correctness of our implementation. Additionally, for the commercially available benchmark programs, our implementation shows equivalent execution speeds to the previous commercial OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations.

In this paper, we present the architecture of graphics processor and its instruction format for the mobile device. In addition, we introduce tile shader data structure for the on/off-line compilation based on the OpenGL ES 2.0 and a new optimization method based on the ILP(Instruction-Level Parallelism). This paper shows where a processor with the sane core clock is being used, the shader instruction resulted from the compile structure and method in this paper is approximately 1.5 to 2 times faster than a code based on the single instruction.

TIP technology enables navigation of the internal contents of images by extracting geometry information from two-dimensional drawing or a picture and generating three-dimensional effects from extracted information. The technology can be applied to a variety of practical fields including game, entertainment, education, public relations and so on. This paper proposes extended application of TIP technology and realization method for smart devices using OpenGL ES Library for Android platform. Considering problems associated with a foreground object extraction, the proposed method uses vanishing points chosen by the user to facilitate more realistic scene configuration. Then, method acquires three-dimensional background model using OpenGL ES Library, develops three-dimensional virtual space and enables image navigation via camera viewpoint conversion. The experimental image is made on Android 2.1 and OpenGL ES 1.0 using the image taken on devices built on the Android platform. Thus, the proposed technology can be implemented to various smart devices built on the Android platform at lower cost and in less time.

모바일 환경에서 고급 그래픽스 기술을 적용하고자 하는 시도로 최근 3D 그래픽 엔진을 탑재한 단말기가 출시되고 있다. 이 단말기는 OpenGL ES 1.x을 기준으로 고정된 파이프라인을 통해 그래픽 연산을 처리하고 있으므로 사용자가 다양한 그래픽 표현을 수행하는데 제약이 따른다. 최근 PC 환경의 그래픽 엔진에서는 고정 기능의 파이프라인이 아닌 프로그래밍 가능한 파이프라인을 제공하여 기존 고정 파이프라인에서 불가능했던 유연한 그래픽스 기술을 제공하고 있다. PC환경의 프로그래밍 가능한 파이프라인은 DirectX와 OpenGL 그래픽 라이브러리에 의해 제공되고 있지만, 모바일 환경에서는 이를 지원하기 위한 관련 제품이 아직 출시되지 않고 있는 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 2005년 9원에 발표된 프로그레밍 가능한 그래픽스 파이프라인에 대한 표준인 OpenGL ES 2.0에 기반한 효율적인 셰이더 구조와 이 의 구동방식을 제시한다. 본 연구는 PC상에서 소프트웨어로 개발되었고, 연구 결과는 그래픽스 하드웨어 설계를 위한 검증용으로 사용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 응용 프로그래머의 모바일 콘텐츠 제작을 위하여 활용될 수 있다.

Low-cost and low-power are important requirements in mobile systems. Thus, when a floating-point arithmetic unit is needed, 24-bit floating-point format can be more useful than 32-bit floating-point format. However, a 24-bit floating-point arithmetic unit can be risky because it usually has lower accuracy than a 32-bit floating-point arithmetic unit. Consecutive floating-point operations are performed in 3D graphic processors. In this case, the verification of the floating-point operation accuracy is important. Among 3D graphic arithmetic operations, the floating-point division is one of the most difficult operations to satisfy the accuracy of $10^{-5}$ which is the required accuracy in OpenGL ES 3.0. No 24-bit floating-point divider, whose accuracy is algebraically verified, has been reported. In this paper, a 24-bit floating-point divider is analyzed and it is algebraically verified that its accuracy satisfies the OpenGL requirement.

As mobile devices have developed, flash animations suitable for the existing web have solved part of the weakness caused by the image quality deterioration and the transmission capacity, but it is difficult to express 3D stereo-scopic images. Also, for the real time-randering of visual expressions for animation and the device technique for smartphone to accord with commercial demands, it is required to develop the 3D image processing technique. This paper studied on the image processing method for 3D animation capable of 3D graphic rendering with view system of android and OpenGL M3G in an embedded system device and OpenGL ES 2.0 library.

Recently, Khronos institude OpenGL ES 2.0 API for support Shader 3.0 model that can possible variable graphic processing. For this reason, the mobile device have need of supporting processor for a shader 3.0 model. We should extend instruction's length to support OpenGL ES 2.0 API, so we need more memory size. In this paper, we propose a new instruction form that adopted variable length and unit instruction architecture. This proposed instruction architecture that support to Shader 3.0 model has consist of 32bit unit instructions up to 4 which can be combined for embellishing each other. Therefore, it can execute flexible instruction combination and reduce waste of instruction fields.

WebGL is a cross-platform web standard for a low-level 3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and presents 3D graphics in web browsers without installing extra plug-ins. The reason that WebGL is notable is because it is included in the HTML5 standard which is getting the spotlight as a next-generation RIA(Rich Internet Application) platform for variable devices such as PCs, smart phones, table PCs, and smart TVs. In this research, we would like to introduce and develop a behavior engine for easy and rapid authoring of complicated interactions and 3D object's behavior models in WebGL-based contents.

Computation steps for 3D graphic processing consist of two stages - fixed operation stage and programming required stage. Using this characteristic of 3D pipeline, a hybrid structure between graphics hardware designed by fixed structure and programmable hardware based on instructions, can handle graphic processing more efficiently. In this paper, fragment Shader is designed under this hybrid structure. It also supports OpenGL ES 2.0. Interior interface is optimized to reduce the delay of entire pipeline, which may be occurred by data I/O between the fixed hardware and the Shader. Interior register group of the Shader is designed by an interleaved structure to improve the register space and processing speed.
