최근 임베디드 환경에서 2차인 Vector Graphics에 대한 요구는 크게 증가하고 있으며, Flash Lite, SVG등의 응용이 이미 널리 사용되고 있다. 반면 이러한 응용을 지원하기 위한 API의 표준은 전무한 실정이었다. OpenVG 1.0은 임베디드 시스템을 위한 미디어 표준 제정 기관인 Khronos Group에서 제정한 2차원 벡터 그래픽스를 위한 API (Application Programming Interface)로 2005년 8월 발표되었다. 본 논문에서는 OpenVG 표준에 대해 간략히 소개하고 (주)휴원에서 세계최초로 상용화 개발에 성공한 AlexVG Engine의 개발과정과 결과에 대하여 설명한다.

최근 모바일 시스템의 성능이 향상되면서 다양한 형태의 동적인 메뉴 구성과, 메일 및 이차원 지도 등의 표현에 벡터 그래픽을 도입하고 있다. 모바일 기기에서 사용되는 벡터 그래픽 처리 기술은 Flash Lite, SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics)등이 널리 사용되고 있는데 두 가지 모두 소프트웨어 방식으로 사용되고 있다. 매크로미디어사의 Flash Lite는 연산에 많은 메모리를 필요로 하고, SVG는 웹 표준에 맞춘 스크립트 해석 기반으로 구동 속도가 느리다. 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 벡터 그래픽스에 대한 필요성과 사용빈도가 증가함에 따라 메모리를 적게 사용하고 하드웨어 가속기를 지원 할 수 있도록 저 수준의 API(Application Programming Interface)인 OpenVG 1.0을 크로노스 그룹(Khronos Group)에서 제정하였다. 본 논문은 모바일 사용 환경에 맞추어 사용될 수 있도록 OpenVG 1.0에 기반한 API를 구현하고 실험하였다. 구현된 API는 느린 소프트웨어의 한계를 벗어나기 위해 하드웨어 가속기 설계에 적합하도록 각각의 API 블록 및 형태를 하드웨어 파이프라인 형태의 관점에서 설계하였고, 구현된 API를 윈도우즈 환경에서 기능을 검증하였다.

Due to rapid development of mobile communication terminals and various requests of their users, multimedia information including image information has been the basis of mobile communication contents. In order to use vectored image information efficiently, which is more favorable than bit-mapped image information when transmission delay time and costs are considered, efficient vector graphics supporting systems are needed. Therefore, vector graphics kernel systems have been proposed and standardization attempts have been made in order to increase interoperability. In this paper, a vector graphics kernel based on OpenVG is designed and implemented. OpenVG was proposed as a standard vector graphics kernel by Khronos Group recently. The implemented vector graphics kernel, named by alexVG, is developed on a PC emulator as well as on a development board equipped with an ARM processor. In addition, performance tests are made in order to verify its functions.

OpenVG는 Khronos Group 에 의해 제정된 2D 벡터 그래픽스를 위한 하드웨어 가속 표준이다. OpenVG 적합성 테스트 도구(conformance test suite)는 다양한 기관에서 구현된 OpenVG 엔진이 OpenVG 표준에서 정의한 요구사항들을 만족하는가를 측정하는 도구이다. 적합성 테스트의 통과 여부는 시장에서 해당 제품의 기술적 우위성 및 안정성을 보장하는 지표가 되기에 적합성 테스트 개발 과정에서 형평성 및 객관성을 확보하는 것은 대단히 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 OpenVG Conformance Test Suite의 설계 및 구현 과정을 소개함으로써 표준의 제정과 더불어 꼭 필요한 과정인 적합성 테스트 도구 개발 시에 형평성과 객관성을 유지하기 위한 바람직한 개발 모델을 제시한다. 이를 통해 향후 타 표준의 적합성 테스트 개발 시에 참고가 되고자 한다.

Many computer vision algorithms are computationally expensive and require a lot of computing resources. Recently, owing to machine learning technology and high-performance embedded systems, vision processing applications, such as object detection, face recognition, and visual inspection, are widely used. However, on-devices need to use their resources to handle powerful vision works with low power consumption in heterogeneous environments. Consequently, global manufacturers are trying to lock many developers into their ecosystem, providing integrated low-power chips and dedicated vision libraries. Khronos Group-an international standard organization-has released the OpenVX standard for high-performance/low-power vision processing in heterogeneous on-device systems. This paper describes vision libraries for the embedded systems and presents the OpenVX standard along with related trends for on-device vision system.

Embedded systems and web browsers have started to provide two-dimensional vector graphics features, to finally support scalability of graphics outputs, while traditional graphics systems have focused on the raster and bitmap operations. Nowadays, SVG and Flash are actively used while OpenVG from Khronos group plays the role of a de facto low-level API standard to support them. In this paper, we represent the design and implementation process and the final results of an OpenVG implementation, AlexVG. From its design stage, our implementation aims at the cooperation with SVG-Tiny, another de facto standard for embedded systems. Currently, our overall system provides not only the OpenVG core features but also variety of OpenVG application programs and SVG-Tiny media file playing capabilities. For the conformance with the standard specifications, our system completely passed the whole OpenVG conformance test suites and the graphics output portions of the SVG-Tiny conformance test suites. From the performance point of view, we focused on the efficiency and effectiveness especially on the mobile phones and embedded devices with limited resources. As the result, it showed impressive benchmarks on the small-scale CPU's such as ARM's, even without neither any other libraries nor acceleration hardware.

In these days, mobile application dealing with information contents on mobile or handheld devices such as mobile communicator, PDA or WAP device face the most important industrial needs. The motivation of this study is the design and implementation of mobile application using high resolution satellite imagery, large-sized image data set. Although major advantages of mobile devices are portability and mobility to users, limited system resources such as small-sized memory, slow CPU, low power and small screen size are the main obstacles to developers who should handle a large volume of geo-based 3D model. Related to this, the previous works have been concentrated on GIS-based location awareness services on mobile; however, the mobile 3D terrain model, which aims at this study, with the source data of DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and high resolution satellite imagery is not considered yet, in the other mobile systems. The main functions of 3D graphic processing or pixel pipeline in this prototype are implemented with OpenGL|ES (Embedded System) standard API (Application Programming Interface) released by Khronos group. In the developing stage, experiments to investigate optimal operation environment and good performance are carried out: TIN-based vertex generation with regular elevation data, image tiling, and image-vertex texturing, text processing of Unicode type and ASCII type.
