Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 59

[fifty-nine.]

Chen Ning seemed to know that Lu Zhenyu didn’t have much money, so he didn’t blackmail Lu Zhenyu severely.

The so-called lunch is just a small shop that makes delicious sandwiches and coffee in a small shop on Huaihai Road that the company is unwilling to get some delicious little things.

And Lu Zhenyu was more and more suspicious of what Chen Ning didn’t know.

Although, Lu Zhenyu knew that Chen Ning wanted to know more because of professional habit, although this habit did not make Lu Zhenyu feel happy.

However, Lu Zhenyu could still feel her restraint and kindness from Chen Ning’s various practices.

At the very least, Chen Ning had already done something like he did when he first met Lu Zhenyu.

At the beginning of December, after the final test conducted by the Naval Equipment Research Institute, the participants of the simulated test version of the integrated control system of China Aegis 2 were released one after another.

Most of the people who were originally trained in the digital totem asked to continue the training. Therefore, except for a small number of people who stayed in the research institute, 18 people returned to the laboratory of the digital totem.

That may be part of the reason why you can earn a lot of money working in a lab, but labs are such a fun place to be, which is probably even more attractive to those tech nerds.

And with the return of this group of people, Lu Zhenyu returned to the company silently.

Lu Zhenyu was not worried about daily affairs. After a little look at the backlog of documents, he ran to the laboratory.

And several studies going on in the laboratory made Lu Zhenyu, who had been away for a month, stunned.

The first is a topic that the Mekong programmers in the online game group and laboratory researchers have worked on together – body scan modeling.

In the beginning, it was mainly a few artists who felt that it was too much work to open 3 projects at the same time. The modeling of objects and buildings was not bad, and sometimes even the electronic drawings of the buildings could be directly obtained. Just change the format. can be used.

Whether it is “Rise”, “Declaration of Freedom” or “Sacred Chronicle”, due to the large number of NPCs, the style of human modeling is very realistic, especially the modeling of the face can make these artists tossed miserably.

A certain artist had a whim and said that the newly purchased laser stereo scanner of the online game group was used for human modeling.

The new generation of stereo laser stereo scanners is mainly used for modeling input of props. Although the scanning speed is slow, it is faster than manual modeling by an artist, especially those more complex models.

It is not that no one has tried it for human modeling, but because of the slow scanning speed, there has been little success.

After all, people want to move, and even breathing, the most normal and smallest action, will cause tiny movements, and these tiny movements will interfere with the accuracy of the built model.

If you let the artists correct these errors, it may not be very big, but each error is in the key parts, and it is a very detailed modification, then the work efficiency is not as good as letting the artists do it by themselves.

It just so happens that the online game group is negotiating with a company to buy a motion capture system.

This set of things based on the third-generation optical motion capture system is very accurate.

Because the price given by the other party is still relatively favorable, this time the online game team purchased 2 sets of optical capture systems, one of which was immediately moved to the research group that studies laser scanning human body modeling, combining stereo laser scanning technology and optical dynamic The capture system is combined.

On the floor where the online game group is located, a special room has been set up, and there is a small room separated by brown glass.

Several guide rails are installed inside, on which are installed more than 10 scanning probes assembled from three laser stereo scanners.

People who are going to have a body scan have to put on black, extremely tight-fitting clothing with silver reflective dots

before entering the glass cubicle.

When scanning, subtle movements will be captured by the probe of the optical dynamic capture system, and corrected in combination with the scanned data.

The human body scanned by this system can be used with minimal modifications.

The facial expressions are lifelike, and it is more realistic than ordinary artists can achieve.

Since the artists already had a pretty good graphics engine in their hands, the adoption of this technology greatly increased the speed of work.

Although I’m still making fine adjustments while using it, from Lu Zhenyu’s point of view, this set is really interesting.

However, when looking at the results of these people’s work, Lu Zhenyu accidentally discovered that they had tricked almost all the beauties in the company into wearing that special tights in the name of testing, and performed a full body scan… Now, this working group has mastered With extremely accurate data on the body shapes of many beauties in the company, including 3D…

This matter, Lu Zhenyu had no choice but to tell them to stop doing it, otherwise once those female colleagues knew about it, it was estimated that things would be more troublesome.

Because, no one can tell whether this kind of behavior is considered harassment.

Lu Zhenyu assured the person who developed this set that he would find a group of professional and amateur models to meet the basic needs of human modeling.

Although those amateur or professional models, and even some actors, are not necessarily more beautiful than those young female colleagues in the company.

But as long as they are in these industries, it is inevitable that they can satisfy their curiosity, not to mention that the data they scan is accurate to a few tenths of a millimeter. I am afraid that those models do not have such accurate 3D data.

Although Lu Zhenyu was very satisfied with this technology, he did not provide assistance from the manufacturers of the original equipment that had been dismantled before.

Moreover, Lu Zhenyu also expected that this technology should be quite interesting, and it should have certain promotion potential.

As a result, contact with manufacturers of laser stereo scanners and optical motion capture systems to coordinate cooperation and further research and development matters was quickly formed.

Compared with the short-term formation of human body scanning modeling technology, the progress of the laboratory’s own projects is not fast.

The project that Lv Zhenyu assigned to the laboratory is the digitization of the mechanical and optical perception of motion.

This is still the first step of a package of research projects, and this first step has really troubled everyone. Although it is not stuck as Chen Ning told Lu Zhenyu, the progress is not fast.

The main problem is that these studies are too basic.

What is learned in school now and what is studied in most companies are very practical things, but there is very little involved in these very original things, which can be said to be almost nothing.

So, once a company’s research touches on the basics of these foundations, they have to start over.

Lv Zhenyu knew that many of the things they wanted to study could actually be done through technology introduction. Buying a batch would be enough. However, if they did, they would not be able to allow the company to have its own complete technical system and technical style. There will also be large gaps.

Compared with these problems, Lu Zhenyu would rather spend more time and more money at this early stage.

Even if it is accumulated by itself, the method adopted by the laboratory is still a combination of its own research and digesting the results of others.

In terms of using optical perception of motion, they are divided into two groups. One group is responsible for dismantling other people’s optical dynamic capture systems. The high-precision equipment of other people’s motion capture technology was dismantled in the laboratory and became super expensive. Toy.

Although this kind of motion capture technology, which has been widely used in film, animation and game production, has been quite perfect, it has relatively high requirements for the collection of objects, such as the collection of objects to wear special clothing inlaid with silver reflectors. , as the complexity of the environment increases, the efficiency of the system immediately declines.

The basic research conducted by the laboratory itself is contrary to the requirements of the dynamic capture system for complex movements and simple environments. The current requirement is to be able to recognize simple movements in complex environmental backgrounds.

In terms of optical equipment, because digital totems do not have their own technology, they only need to use the method that everyone is quite fond of now – dismantling.

They dismantled several digital cameras and built a zigzag-shaped optical signal input platform with 3 lenses.

Use 3 different angles of the lens to pinpoint the movement of objects.

The main problem encountered by this technology is how much precision video signal input is enough, and how much resources should be allocated to this recognition part.

The higher the pixels, the more likely it is to separate objects from the background, but correspondingly, the higher the computer resources to be allocated to automatic background separation.

In the end what is a better balance?

People have been testing this over and over again recently.

Everyone actually understands that these investments must one day be able to transform these technologies into productivity in some aspects, but to be transformed into productivity. These technologies may not need to consider the cost when developing these technologies, but at least it is necessary to improve the cost performance to some people. acceptable level.

And through a certain degree of research, the researchers agree that the technical weakness of the optical part has caused them to take a lot of detours.

For example, when locating the movement of an object, ranging is a very simple method, and this technology has many implementation methods in their opinion.

Using the different angles of the three lenses, it is a way to measure the distance through the calculation of triangulation.

One way is to use ultrasonic ranging, which is often used on SLR cameras, and another way is to use laser matrix ranging on individual digital cameras.

The technology used in civilian-grade products is definitely not the most advanced technology mastered by those manufacturers, but how can those higher-level technologies be obtained?

Lu Zhenyu had no time to consider how much expensive equipment these people in the laboratory had dismantled.

Because in the subject of mechanical perception movement, he saw a lot of terrible things.

Inspired by people who had worked in the military’s research institute, they actually installed a very simple, but extremely accurate gyroscope in a self-made experiment.

And some of the things installed on some other experiments are also incredible, such as piezoelectric ceramics.

They made several sets of experiments to sense collisions, which were distinguished by generating electric currents of different intensities through piezoelectric ceramics.

Before the group of people in the laboratory did this, Lu Zhenyu vaguely remembered that this thing seemed to be often used in fuzes such as cannonballs.

In short, the nonsense of the people in the laboratory has far exceeded Lu Zhenyu’s imagination.

Lu Zhenyu felt a little happy.

After being suppressed by exam-oriented education for so many years, there are still so many people whose edges and corners have not been smoothed out and their imaginations washed away.

Maybe after many years, 99% of these messy experiments that they are doing today will prove to be infeasible or not a good solution, but now it seems that these unrestrained solutions are all flashing these lovely researchers. their full imagination.

The boys in the lab didn’t think so, they were totally addicted to these interesting things.

In the past, I saw some European and American master DIYers on the Internet. Perhaps there are many of them who are amazed, applauded, and amazed, but after working in the digital totem laboratory for a period of time, most researchers have reason to despise those DIY players.

No matter how much they toss, they are only playing with civilian products, and the DIY in the digital totem laboratory is much more advanced.

Looking at the expenditure and achievements of the laboratory in the recent period, there are also some suggestions made by a group of madmen.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Zhenyu buried himself in the sofa, and decided to chat with some companies, especially hoping to introduce some technologies.

Although the determination to establish a technical system by oneself will not change, it is too hard to conduct research only by dismantling and dismantling civilian products, and the efficiency of research is not necessarily high.

However, the best ccd/cmos, cameras and lenses with the best optical properties, special materials and processes…a lot of advanced technologies are in the hands of others, especially those manufacturers with monopoly or near monopoly positions , This really made Lu Zhenyu feel depressed.

Some things seem to have to be bought.

“How much money is available in the company’s account? If you remove all the things that were included in the plan, how much money is there?” A high-level meeting was convened, and Lu Zhenyu asked Lou Jiaming directly at the meeting.

“This… It depends on how much you need. Although the laboratory spends more money, it still has phases. UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com If you really want to spend more money, it is not for nothing. It mainly depends on how much you need. If it does not affect the execution of any plan, it will be between 1 billion and 1.4 billion. If there is more, it will be a bit troublesome to adjust the position.” Lou Jiaming said.

“Let’s do it, it should be enough.” Lu Zhenyu said.

“I want to go to Japan in the near future to discuss a series of technical cooperation matters.”

Just after Lu Zhenyu finished speaking, everyone was staring at him.

Lu Zhenyu asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

“What are you going to use to cooperate with others?” Lei Tao asked.

In fact, with the current strength of digital totem, it is not difficult to find some technical partners, mainly depends on the bottom line of digital totem.

“It’s up to you to see.” Lu Zhenyu said, “The laser scanning three-dimensional modeling technology has given me a lot of inspiration. In fact, some of the technologies we need now, even if we spend money to buy them, as long as we can buy them, the problem is not very big. Great. Our researchers are still very powerful. If we develop or improve something, we will have more opportunities to cooperate with more institutions on an equal footing. Even if not, at least we have improved our research and development efficiency and broadened the horizons of our researchers. ”

Then why did you go to Japan?” Peng Hannian said dissatisfied.

“I can’t help it. The technologies I want to get the most are all in the hands of the Japanese. Ccd, optical technology, there are many items.” Lu Zhenyu said with a sigh.
