Abstract:
1. A method of automatically creating a natural image by using an optimization technique, the method comprising: an initial setting operation of setting at least one initial condition selected from the group consisting of a size of an image to be created, a configuration of the image to be created, and a color of the image to be created; a pre-process operation of assigning a value of a design variable, a value of a material property, and a boundary condition according to the heat transfer equation, and setting at least one variable for an optimization process selected from the group consisting of a target function, a maximum volume fraction, a maximum iteration number, and a convergence criterion; an optimization operation of optimizing a design variable by using one optimization technique selected from the group consisting of an optimality criterion (OC), a method of moving asymptotes (MMA), and genetic algorithms according to the variable determined in the pre-process operation; and a post-process operation of converting a resultant value of the design variable obtained through a phase optimization process into a digital image.
