We introduce the Fast Marching farthest point sampling (FastFPS) approach for the progressive sampling of planar domains and curved manifolds in triangulated, point cloud or implicit form. By using Fast Marching methods2, 3, 6 for the incremental computation of distance maps across the sampling domain, we obtain a farthest point sampling technique superior to earlier point sampling principles i...

Regular point splatting methods have a lot of problems when used on noisy data from stereo algorithms. Just a few unfiltered outliers, depth discontinuities, and holes can destroy the whole rendered image. We present a newmulti-pass splatting method on GPU hardware called Adaptive Point Splatting (APS) to render noisy point clouds. By taking advantage of image processing algorithms on the GPU, ...

Taking advantage of the resource sharing, the cloud computing service mode save the investment cost efficiently.In a cloud computing environment, the workflow task scheduling algorithm is based on the task processing time and the execution cost factors and start point of the user demand for quality of service, in good user experience and the biggest economic benefits both made significant break...

In this article a method for reconstructing atmospheric cloud surfaces using a stereo camera system is presented. The proposed camera system utilizes fish-eye lenses in a flexible wide baseline camera setup. The entire workflow from the camera calibration to the creation of the 3D point set is discussed, but the focus is mainly on cloud segmentation and on the image processing steps of stereo r...

To reveal the mechanism of the easy discretization and low damage in kernel dispersal, this paper analyzes the microscopic analysis of beak structures and finds that maxillary outside cells of the beak are dense and hard. Besides, the cuticle wrapping on maxilla of chicken's beak can reduce corn kernels damage in the discrete process of ear. From force test of corn ear, we find that value of x ...

In this article cloud-point extraction (CPE) was used with chelating agent to extract uranium from aqueous solutions. The methodology used is based on the formation of metal complexes soluble in a micellar phase of surfactant. The metal ions complexes are then extracted into the surfactant-rich phase at a temperature above the cloud-point temperature. The effect of type of surfactants and ligan...

The aim of this work was to develop a selective cloud point extraction method for the separation and preconcentration of copper(II) prior to spectrophotometric determination. For this purpose dithizone was used as a complexing agent and the experimental solution was acidified with sulfuric acid. Triton X-114 was used as a surfactant and after phase separation, based on the cloud point of th...

In this study, a simple and low-cost method was developed for extraction and pre-concentration of brilliant blue(BB) and Tropaeolin O(TO) in food samples using cloud point extraction (CPE) prior to spectrophotometric determination. The effects of main factors such as pH, surfactant and salt concentrations, incubation time and temperature on the cloud point extraction of both dyes were investiga...
