The paper presents an analysis of the stability of pose estimation. The stability is deened as sensitivity of the pose parameters towards noise in image features used for estimating pose. The speciic emphasis of the analysis is on determining how the stability varies with viewpoint relative to an object, and to understand the relationships between object geometry, viewpoint and pose stability. ...

background numerous factors have an effect on the accuracy of an impression and resultant cast, and these include: impression material, impression technique, tray selection, impression disinfection, storage time of impression before pouring, stone type used for fabrication of cast. up to now, there has been little research conducted on the effect of contact time of a cast with an impression, on...

We investigate Monte Carlo energy and variance-minimization techniques for optimizing many-body wave functions. Several variants of the basic techniques are studied, including limiting the variations in the weighting factors that arise in correlated sampling estimations of the energy and its variance. We investigate the numerical stability of the techniques and identify two reasons why variance...
