  • With all the recent progresses in computer hardware and software technology, the animation of fluids in real-time is still among the most challenging issues of computer graphics. The fluid animation is carried out in two steps - the physical simulation of fluids immediately followed by the visual rendering. The physical simulation is usually accomplished by numerical methods utilizing the particle dynamics equations as well as the fluid mechanics based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Particle dynamics method is usually fast in calculation, but the resulting fluid motion is conditionally unrealistic. The methods using Navier-Stokes equation, on the contrary, yield lifelike fluid motion when properly conditioned, yet the complexity of calculation restrains this method from being used in real-time applications. This article presents a rapid fluid animation method by using the continuum-based fluid mechanics and the enhanced particle dynamics equations. For real-time rendering, pre-integrated volume rendering technique was employed. The proposed method can create realistic fluid effects that can interact with the viewer in action, to be used in computer games, performances, installation arts, virtual reality and many similar multimedia applications.

  • A real-time collision-free trajectory control method for dual arm robot system is proposed. The proposed method is composed of two stages; one is to calculate the minimum distance between two robot arms and the other is to control the trajectories of the robots to ensure collision-free motions. The calculation of minimum distance between two robots is, also, composed of two steps. To reduce the calculation time, we, first, apply a simple modeling technique to the robots arms and determine the interested part of the robot arms. Next, we apply more precise modeling techniques for the part to calculate the minimum distance. Simulation results show that the whole algorithm runs within 0.05 second using Pentium 100MHz PC.

  • Generally, when we control the robot, we should calculate exactly Inverse Kinematics. However, Inverse Kinematics calculation is complex and it takes much time for the manipulator to control in real-time. Therefore, the calculation of Inverse Kinematics can result in significant control delay in real time. In this paper, we will present that Inverse Kinematics can be calculated through Fuzzy Logic Mapping, Based on an exact solution through fuzzy reasoning instead of Inverse Kinematics calculation Also, the result provides sufficient precision and transient tracking error can be controlled based on a fuzzy adaptive scheme proposed in this paper. Based on the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters specification, after the Jacobian matrix of arbitrary manipulator is calculated, we will construct Fuzzy Inverse Kinematics Mapping(FIKM) using fuzzy logic and represent a good control efficiency through simulation of 2-DOF manipulator.

  • In order to improve the vertical position accuracy, the advantages of GPS and barometric altimeter are combined and used, but in order to fuse the two sensors, the geoid altitude must be compensated. In this paper, we proposed a technique that can calculate geoid altitude in real time even in low-cost embedded systems applied to drones or autonomous vehicles. Since the reference EGM08 is determined by a polynomial of the 2160th order, real-time calculation is impossible in the embedded system. Therefore, by introducing a linear interpolation technique, the amount of calculation was increased, and the storage space was saved by 75% by using the integer geoid height as a grid point. The accuracy of the proposed technique was evaluated through simulation, and it was confirmed that the accuracy of the maximum error is -1.215 m even in the region where the geoid change is rapid.

  • This study is focused on proposing a creative system that can display 3D hologram on the real-time basis. This method applies 3D display on volume hologram based on CGH. The process of implementing the system consists of two stages of fringe pattern recording for passive component that includes information on hologram, and irradiating object beam. Distinguished from an existing electronic holographic display system, this system is free from the process of a huge calculation that is necessary to compose CGH for a real-time 3D display.

  • The active noise control(ANC) method for noise problems solution generally uses filtered-X LMS algorithms. However, Filtered-X LMS algorithms were mainly used but these had a limitation that had to measure a transfer function of secondary noise path. However, newly proposed correlation-LMS algorithms have slightly much calculation and are minutely behind performance, these have a advantage not in measuring transfer function onerously so that we can easily adapt these in real time. Thus Co-LMS algorithm was developed to improve the real-time implementation performance under the variable input noise such as road noise environment. In this paper, the performance of the Co-LMS is presented in comparison with that of the Filtered-X LMS algorithm. Simulation results show that active noise control using Co-LMS have slightly much calculation and are minutely behind performance, these have a advantage not in measuring transfer function onerously so that we can easily adapt these in real time.

  • Social dredging of various river facilities, such as dams and agricultural reservoirs currently being constructed, should be done to ensure stable reservoirs. However, it is difficult to find a system that tells the exact amount of water in real-time in a reservoir or dam. These measurements require an automated system to collect and analyze highly accurate data in real time. In this study, we propose a method to measure the amount of water and soil of reservoir in real time through multi-division volume calculation using a drone, and this method can detect sediment conditions in real time and determine the exact timing and scale of dredging.

  • Often a network becomes complex, and multiple entities would get in charge of managing part of the whole network. An example is a utility grid. While the entire grid would go under a single utility company's responsibility, the network is often split into multiple subsections. Subsequently, each subsection would be given as the responsibility area to the corresponding sub-organization in the utility company. The issue of how to make subsystems of adequate size and minimum number of interconnections between subsystems becomes more critical, especially in real-time simulations. Because the computation capability limit of a single computation unit, regardless of whether it is a high-speed conventional CPU core or an FPGA computational engine, it comes with a maximum limit that can be completed within a given amount of execution time. The issue becomes worsened in real time simulation, in which the computation needs to be in precise synchronization with the real-world clock. When the subject of the computation allows for a longer execution time, i.e., a larger time step size, a larger portion of the network can be put on a computation unit. This translates into a larger margin of the difference between the worst and the best. In other words, even though the worst (or the largest) computational burden is orders of magnitude larger than the best (or the smallest) computational burden, all the necessary computation can still be completed within the given amount of time. However, the requirement of real-time makes the margin much smaller. In other words, the difference between the worst and the best should be as small as possible in order to ensure the even distribution of the computational load. Besides, data exchange/communication is essential in parallel computation, affecting the overall performance. However, the exchange of data takes time. Therefore, the corresponding consideration needs to be with the computational load distribution among multiple calculation units. If it turns out in a satisfactory way, such distribution will raise the possibility of completing the necessary computation in a given amount of time, which might come down in the level of microsecond order. This paper presents an effective way to split a given electrical network, according to multiple criteria, for the purpose of distributing the entire computational load into a set of even (or close to even) sized computational loads. Based on the proposed system splitting method, heavy computation burdens of large-scale electrical networks can be distributed to multiple calculation units, such as an RTDS real time simulator, achieving either more efficient usage of the calculation units, a reduction of the necessary size of the simulation time step, or both.

  • It is the common features of the integral reactors that the main components of the RCS are installed within the reactor vessel, and so there are no any flow pipes connecting the coolant pumps or steam generators. Due to no any flow pipes, it is impossible to measure the differential pressure at the RCS of the integral reactors, and it also makes impossible measure the flow-rate of the reactor coolant. As a alternative method, the method by the measurement of coolant pump power has been introduced in this study. Up to now, we did not found out a precedent which the coolant pump power is used for the real-time flow-rate calculation at normal operation of the commercial nuclear power plants. The objective of the study is to embody the real-time flow-rate calculation method by the measurement of coolant pump power in an integral reactor. As a result of the study, we could theoretically reason that the capacity-head curve and capacity-shaft power curve around the rated capacity with the high specific-speeded axial flow pumps have each diagonally steep incline but show the similar shape. Also, we could confirm the above theoretical reasoning from the measured result of the pump motor inputs, So, it has been concluded that it is possible to calculate the real-time flow-rate by the measurement of pump motor inputs. In addition, the compensation for a above new method can be made by HBM being now used in the commercial nuclear power plants.

  • In this paper, we present the design and implementation of real-time sound localization based on $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Time delay of arrival (TDOA) estimation was used to obtain the direction of the sound signal. The sound localization chip consists of four modules: data buffering, short-term energy calculation, cross correlation, and azimuth calculation. Our chip achieved real-time processing speed with full range ($360^{\circ}$) using three microphones. Additionally, we developed a dedicated sound localization circuit (DSLC) system for measuring the accuracy of the sound localization chip. The DSLC system revealed that our chip gave reasonably accurate results in an experiment that was carried out in a noisy and reverberant environment. In addition, the performance of our chip was compared with those of other chip designs.
