It is important to measure displacement and strain distributions to prevent failures of structures. However, one point measurement method such as strain gage is widely used in industrial practice. It is time–consuming and difficult for one-point method to find the point with the maximum strain on the structures. Whole-field optical methods such as moire method, digital image correlation, speckl...

The ACL Anthology is a digital archive of conference and journal papers in natural language processing and computational linguistics. Its primary purpose is to serve as a reference repository of research results, but we believe that it can also be an object of study and a platform for research in its own right. We describe an enriched and standardized reference corpus derived from the ACL Antho...

Object contour matching has been prevalently used in pattern recognition and content-based indexing and retrieval of digital images. In this paper, the contour descriptors are extracted from a WTMM (Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima) image, which is produced by a one level biorthogonal wavelet transform and contains curvature points of the contour. The most important WTMMs are further utilized t...

With the increasing technical sophistication of both information consumers and providers, there is increasing demand for more meaningful experiences of digital information. We present a framework that separates digital object experience, or rendering, from digital object storage and manipulation, so the rendering can be tailored to particular communities of users. Our framework also accommodate...

In this paper we discuss long-term digital preservation from an information perspective, rather than the predominant approaches; the Archival and the Technocratic Approach. Our standpoint is that information is at the core of long-term digital preservation. This means that information is the object of preservation in the long term. Information lives longer than people, organizations and tools (...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A new approach to both 3-dimensional (3D) trueness and precision is necessary to assess the accuracy of intraoral digital impressions and compare them to conventionally acquired impressions. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether a new reference scanner is capable of measuring conventional and digital intraoral complete-arch impressions for 3D ...
