A measurement and integration scheme is proposed to estimate the shape of a large planar structure in space. Lightweight sun sensors distributed on the structure measure the local angles relative to the sun. A reconstruction technique is introduced to estimate the shape of the satellite through a decomposition on a function basis. The estimated shape is determined by the coefficients associated...

Pointer safety faults in device drivers are one of the leading causes of crashes in operating systems code. In principle, shape analysis tools can be used to prove the absence of this type of error. In practice, however, shape analysis is not used due to the unacceptable mixture of scalability and precision provided by existing tools. In this paper we report on a new join operation t† for the s...

In this paper, we propose a new method for error concealment of shape information in MPEG-4 video bit streams that are transmitted over error prone channels. The proposed method employs a MAP estimator with an MRF as the image a priori model. The MRF is designed for binary shape information and its parameters are adapted based on the information of neighboring blocks. Our experimental results s...

In a recent functional magnetic resonance imaging study, Kok and de Lange (2014) observed that BOLD activity for a Kanizsa illusory shape stimulus, in which pacmen-like inducers elicit an illusory shape percept, was either enhanced or suppressed relative to a nonillusory control configuration depending on whether the spatial profile of BOLD activity in early visual cortex was related to the ill...

Errors that occur on the side shape of Free-form Concrete Panels (FCP) can cause errors in FCP construction stage. Therefore, error generated FCPs must be reduced. Accordingly, mold development and research are being carried out. However, case studies using silicone molds, there was no detailed information about specifications application methods support between molds. When producing with metho...
