چکیده

This paper addresses the question of determining the motion tracked by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) on an entire free-form curve or surface defined by an implicit polynomial (IP) equation. We also develop procedures for quantifying the errors in manufactured parts during test and measurement. In particular, given an IP equation of a model object, we describe how the stylus of a CMM can be programmed to move along the surface of a newly manufactured object in order to make tests and measurements along the path. The points along the path of the stylus are determined from the model IP equation.

Implicit higher order polynomials for motion estimation and tracking

In this technical report, we propose a novel technique to address motion estimation and tracking. Such technique represents the motion field using a regular grid of thin-plate splines, and the moving objects using an implicit function on the image plane that is a cubic interpolation of a ”level set function” defined on this grid. Optical flow is determined through the deformation of the grid an...

Different applications of two-dimensional potential fields for volume modeling

Current methods for building models using implicit volume techniques present problems defining accurate and controllable blend shapes between implicit primitives. We present new methods to extend the freedom and controllability of implicit volume modeling. The main idea is to use a free-form curve to define the profile of the blend region between implicit primitives. The use of a free-form impl...

Affine Invariant 3L Fitting of Implicit Polynomials

Combining implicit polynomials and algebraic invariants for representing and recognizing complicated objects proves to be a powerful technique. However, a basic requirement for using implicit polynomials for affine invariant recognition is to have an affine invariant fitting algorithm. In this paper, we study the problem of affine invariant fitting of an implicit polynomial to data. Received Ja...
