Cubic Hermite hexahedral finite element meshes have some well-known advantages over linear tetrahedral finite element meshes in biomechanical and anatomic modeling using isogeometric analysis. These include faster convergence rates as well as the ability to easily model rule-based anatomic features such as cardiac fiber directions. However, it is not possible to create closed complex objects wi...

This paper proposes an enhanced mapping of multi-robot using a DSIFT to reduce the mapping calculation time. In this approach, the master robot transmits each robot’s mapping information in SLAM by DSIFT, which incorporates an additional step on the SIFT. The DSIFT uses a keypoint to reduce the distortional information throughout the Gaussian filter after the step of the image descriptor. The m...

In heterogeneous data integration, an effective machine learning model plays an important role in schema mapping. Schema mapping machine learning model and its probability learning improvement are analyzed in this paper firstly, and then the concept of multi -analyzer model with the method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is put forward to improve machine learning results’ efficiency and accur...

This thesis details the design, execution and evaluation of a new type of display technology, known as Display Blocks. Display Blocks are a response to two major limitations of current displays: visualization and interaction. Each device consist of six organic light emitting diode screens, arranged in a cubic form factor. I explore the possibilities that this type of display holds for data visu...
