Non-photorealistic Rendering(NPR) is a method that can be used to simulate a wide range of materials used in visual arts. Currently, there is lack of availability for oriental-style rendering in 3D animation in contrast to the commonly available western-style rendering. In this paper, we combine the wash drawing technique and NPR to create an oriental-style shader for 3D animation. Our approach makes use of the Maya Embeded Language(MEL) to implement this new technique.

We studied visual clarity according to the difference of color temperature and color rendering by using black and white printed paper and four sheets of colored paper under different kinds of lamps and same kind lamps. The results show visual clarity is proportioned to average color rendering index approximately except incandescent lamps and to color temperature under incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, high pressure sodium lamps, metal halide lamps and electrode less discharge lamps.

This paper presents a robotic system that provides telepresence to the visually impaired by combining real-time haptic rendering with multi-modal interaction. A virtual-proxy based haptic rendering process using a RGB-D sensor is developed and integrated into a unified framework for control and feedback for the telepresence robot. We discuss the challenging problem of presenting environmental perception to a user with visual impairments and our solution for multi-modal interaction. We also explain the experimental design and protocols, and results with human subjects with and without visual impairments. Discussion on the performance of our system and our future goals are presented toward the end.

Measured bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) data have been used to represent complex interaction between lights and surface materials for photorealistic rendering. However, their massive size makes it hard to adopt them in practical rendering applications. In this paper, we propose an adaptive method for B-spline volume representation of measured BRDF data. It basically performs approximate B-spline volume lofting, which decomposes the problem into three sub-problems of multiple B-spline curve fitting along u-, v-, and w-parametric directions. Especially, it makes the efficient use of knots in the multiple B-spline curve fitting and thereby accomplishes adaptive knot placement along each parametric direction of a resulting B-spline volume. The proposed method is quite useful to realize efficient data reduction while smoothing out the noises and keeping the overall features of BRDF data well. By applying the B-spline volume models of real materials for rendering, we show that the B-spline volume models are effective in preserving the features of material appearance and are suitable for representing BRDF data.

재조명(relighting) 렌더링은 장면 내에 새로운 광원의 추가 또는 기존 광원 속성의 변경으로 인한 영상의 변화를 효율적으로 계산하는 과정을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 쉐이딩(shading) 계산에서 광원에 독립적인 파라메터를 미리 텍스쳐 이미지 형태로 캐시화하여 재조명 렌더링 과정에서의 계산량을 줄이는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 쉐이딩 파라메터들의 캐시 이미지들은 사용자가 카메라 시점을 바꾸고자 할 경우 새로 생성을 하여야 하는데, 이 계산에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 시점에서의 캐시 이미지들를 영상 기반 렌더링(image-based rendering) 기법을 이용하여 실시간에 구하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저 여러 개의 지정된 카메라 시점에 대한 캐시 이미지들을 미리 생성해 둔다. 다음 원하는 시점의 캐시 이미지는 각 픽셀에 투영되는 3차원 표면점을 역시점변환(inverse viewing transform)을 통해 구하고, 이 점을 지정된 카메라 시점으로 다시 투영하여 캐시 이미지에서의 대응 픽셀을 찾는다. 대응 픽셀의 파라메터 값들을 평균하여 새 캐시 이미지에 써준다. 이 과정들은 하드웨어 그래픽 가속기의 단편 쉐이더(fragment shader)를 이용하여 실시간으로 수행된다.

In this paper, we present a new method for early depth test for a 3D rendering engine. We add a filter stage to the rasterizer in the 3D rendering engine, in an attempt to identify and avoid the occluded pixels. This filtering block determines if a pixel is hidden by a certain plane. If a pixel is hidden by the plane, it can be removed. The simulation results show that the filter reduces the number of pixels to the next stage up to 71.7%. As a result, 67% of memory bandwidth is saved with simple extra hardware.

Most rendering research has concentrated on two sub-problems: modeling the reflection of light sources, and calculating the direct and indirect illumination from light sources and other surfaces. As Kolb wrote in [1], the camera and lens model is an important key component of a rendering system. In this paper we describe a bump-mapping method using camera lens. It allows another level of control in rendering. We developed an efficient framework to develop customized bump mapping lens and combine with other sequence of lens elements to create various effects as shown in Figure 2,3,4,5.

Temporal disappearance of weather phenomena effect is frequently observed in flight simulator when large volume of terrain data are processed. This problem was solved by employing culling scheme at static ratio in the existing scheme. However, since this approach causes the irregular rendering speed according to volume of data, it is necessary to develop a new culling scheme to maintain steady rendering speed by adjusting the culling ratio dynamically. In this paper, we propose a new culling scheme to make use of distance of the visibility to determine culling ratio depending on volume of terrain data. The experimental results show that rendering speed is preserved by the proposed scheme without affecting the visuality at rendering the scene and weather phenomena effect together.

This study presents a new method to improve the speed of high quality volume rendering. We improve the speed of ambient occlusion which is one of the global illumination techniques used in traditional volume visualization. Calculating ambient occlusion takes much time because it determines an illumination value of a sample by integrating opacities of nearby samples. This study proposes an improved method for this by using local statistics such as averages and standard deviations. We calculate local statistics for each volume block, a set of nearby samples, in pre-processing time. In the rendering process, we efficiently determine the illumination value by assuming the density distribution as a normal distribution. As the results, we can generate high quality images that combine ambient occlusion illumination with local illumination in real time.

The geometric structure constructs terrain from height map and non-periodically tiling with Wang tile for the detail description. It will be able to express detail bump using parallax mapping to add decal data together with height data in tile. We solve the problem when the real-time rendering and propose improving of parallax mapping for the terrain.
