Title: | Distributed computing and NURBS in computer-assisted in-betweening | Authors: | Zhang, Jian Feng | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Computer science and engineering | Issue Date: | 2005 | Source: | Zhang, J. F. (2005). Distributed computing and NURBS in computer-assisted in-betweening. Master’s thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. | Abstract: | Producing in-between frames in 2D animation is a labor-intensive process in current cartoon production. An existing Modified Feature Based Algorithm (MFBA) automatically generates in-between frames between two key frames based on feature matching. This is referred to as MFBA-IB. However, the MFBA is computationally intensive. Even with current compute power, it is difficult to have massive in-between frame production by running the algorithm in a single computer. In order to speed up the processing of key frames, a distributed algorithm is proposed. The distributed algorithm has the potential to increase MFBA-IB processing throughput and it is implemented with our distributed communication model in Linux platform. The proposed distributed communication model is a transparent interface for underlying machine architecture or parallel programming and it eases the building of a distributed MFBA-IB system. A graphical user interface program is designed to demonstrate the use of these library routines for a distributed MFBA-IB system and in-between results and throughput of such a system are analyzed. | Description: | 117 p | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/47492 | DOI: | 10.32657/10356/47492 | Schools: | School of Computer Engineering | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | open | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
