This paper describes direct interactive relative orientation method between terrestrial digital images and laser scanner data. Traditionally, the orientation between images and 3D data requires interactive work and accurate reference points or visible features. Laser scanning data does not easily allow detection of breaklines or corner points. Due to the huge amount of data, however, it is poss...

In this paper, we present the Child-to-Child method (C2C) for co-designing with children for children. The method is illustrated using a design case, where an interactive space for young children in Children’s Museum was designed. A three dimensional interactive books are envisioned and explored with children, and consequently embedded into the “Book Nook” exhibit. This interactive environment,...

in this paper imprecise target models has been proposed to investigate the relation between imprecise data envelopment analysis (idea) and mini-max reference point formulations. through these models, the decision makers' preferences are involved in interactive trade-off analysis procedures in multiple objective linear programming with imprecise data. in addition, the gradient projection type me...

We present a novel, yet simple, method for stabilization of normal forces. A normal stabilization term, carefully designed from hypotheses about interactive usability, is added to the contact force problem. Further, we propose friction stabilization as a completely new stabilization paradigm in interactive simulation. We present a comparison between our normal stabilization method and the Baumg...

We discuss the use of interactive evolutionary computation for designing and optimizing image enhancement filters with fewer parameters than normal filter model. We present a method to speed up this optimization by combining interactive and non-interactive evaluation.

moving in line with the postulation that metadiscourse (md) markers help transform a dry and tortuous piece of text into a coherent and reader-friendly one, the researchers in the current study attempted to investigate the effect different metadiscourse markers might have on iranian efl learners’ perception of written texts. to this end, 120 undergraduate english students were given three diffe...

metadiscourse is a widely used term in current discourse analysis and language education, referring to an interesting, and relatively new approach to conceptualizing interaction between text producers and their texts and between text producers and users. despite the growing importance of the term, however, it is often understood in different ways and used to refer to different aspects of langua...
