Wielowątkowość jest postrzegana jako trudne zadanie do wdrożenia i nie jest w pełni rozwinięta. Programiści często unikają jej, ponieważ do prawidłowego wdrożenia wymaga wiele pracy. Według mnie wynikający z tego wzrost wydajności jest warty tych kosztów. Ponieważ nie ma wielu silników gier, które w pełni wykorzystują wielowątkowość, celem tej pracy jest zaprojektowanie i zaproponowanie wielowątkowej architektury silnika gry 3D, a także przedstawienie głównych systemów używanych do stworzenia takiego silnika gry 3D. Praca skupia się na technologii i architekturze silnika gry i jego podsystemach wraz ze strukturami danych i algorytmami wykorzystywanymi do ich stworzenia.

  • Development of Synthetic Cameras for Virtual Commissioning
    DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTHETHIC CAMERAS FOR VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING Bachelor Degree Project in Automation Engineer 2020 DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTHETIC CAMERAS FOR VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING Bachelor Degree Project in Automation Engineering Bachelor Level 30 ECTS Spring term 2020 Francisco Vico Arjona Daniel Pérez Torregrosa Company supervisor: Mikel Ayani University supervisor: Wei Wang Examiner: Stefan Ericson 1 DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTHETHIC CAMERAS FOR VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING Bachelor Degree Project in Automation Engineer 2020 Abstract Nowadays, virtual commissioning has become an incredibly useful technology which has raised its importance hugely in the latest years. Creating virtual automated systems, as similar to reality as possible, to test their behaviour has become into a great tool for avoiding waste of time and cost in the real commissioning stage of any manufacturing system. Currently, lots of virtual automated systems are controlled by different vision tools, however, these tools are not integrated in most of emulation platforms, so it precludes testing the performance of numerous virtual systems. This thesis intends to give a solution to this limitation that nowadays exists for virtual commissioning. The main goal is the creation of a synthetic camera that allows to obtain different types of images inside any virtual automated system in the same way it would have been obtained in a real system. Subsequently, a virtual demonstrator of a robotic cell controlled by computer vision is developed to show the immense opportunities that synthetic camera can open for testing vision systems. 2 DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTHETIC CAMERAS FOR VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING Bachelor Degree Project in Automation Engineering 2020 Certify of Authenticity This thesis has been submitted by Francisco Vico Arjona and Daniel Pérez Torregrosa to the University of Skövde as a requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Production Engineering.
