چکیده

The paper gives a detailed report on investigations of dinosaur skeletons being conducted to collect data on dinosaurs’ life history. A large quantity of physiological data can be derived if the properties of living animals are inferred, e.g. body volume (body mass) and body surface area, using the methods of comparative physiology. These values can be determined through the use of some modelling assumptions if precise data on the skeleton are available. Data are measured using laser scanning and additional photogrammetric methods. The dinosaur skeletons are complex objects with irregular structures so that laser scanning technology will achieve best results. To compute the visual appearance and resultant living weight of the dinosaurs it is necessary to model the surface (shape) of the dinosaur bodies with a CAD-program. The dinosaur is subdivided into different rotational solids to approximate the volume.

Fundamentals of 3D modelling and resource estimation in coal mining

The prerequisite of maintaining an efficient and safe mining operation is the proper design of a mine by considering all aspects. The first step in a coal mine design is a realistic geometrical modelling of the coal seam(s). The structural features such as faults and folding must be reliably implemented in 3D seam models. Upon having a consistent seam model, the attributes such as calorific val...

3D Modelling of Under Ground Burried Objects Based on Ground Penetration Radar

There is a growing demand for mapping and 3D modelling of buried objects such as pipelines, agricultural hetitage, landmines and other buried objects. Usually, large scale and high resolution maps from these objects are needed. Manually map generation and modeling of these objects are cost and time consuming and is dependent on lots of resources. Therefore, automating the subsurface mapping and...

Target detection Bridge Modelling using Point Cloud Segmentation Obtained from Photogrameric UAV

In recent years, great efforts have been made to generate 3D models of urban structures in photogrammetry and remote sensing. 3D reconstruction of the bridge, as one of the most important urban structures in transportation systems, has been neglected because of its geometric and structural complexity. Due to the UAV technology development in spatial data acquisition, in this study, the point cl...
