3D Surface Digitization in Scientific Research and Product Development

3D Object Digitization: Volume and Surface Area Estimation

Measuring volume and surface area of objects given its digitizations are important problems in 3D image analysis. Good estimators should be multigrid convergent, i.e. the error goes to zero with increasing sampling density. We will give such estimators both for volume and for surface area estimation based on simple counting of voxels.

Overview of 3D surface digitization technologies in Europe

This paper presents an overview of the different 3D surface digitization technologies commercially available in the European market. The solutions for 3D surface measurement offered by major European companies can be divided into different groups depending on various characteristics, such as, technology (e.g. laser scanning, white light projection), system construction (e.g. fix, on CMM/robot/a...

A Simulation-Based Optimization Model for Scheduling New Product Development Projects in Research and Development Centers

a simulation-based optimization approach for the purpose of finding a near-optimal answer can be efficient and effective. In the present paper, first, the mathematical model for the project activity scheduling problem has been presented with a job shop approach. Then, using the Arena 14 software, the simulation model has been designed. Consequently, a numerical example has been solved via runni...

Scientific Issues in Botanical Drug Product Development

In recent years, as more and more innovative drug products are going off patents, the search for new medicines such as botanical drug products that can treat critical and/or life-threatening diseases has become the center of attention of many pharmaceutical companies and research organizations such as the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH). A botanical drug product is often recog...
