5-Diazo Meldrum's acid (DMA) undergoes a photo-induced Wolff rearrangement (WR). Recent gas-phase experiments have identified three photochemical products formed in a sub-ps scale after irradiation, a carbene formed after nitrogen loss, a ketene formed after WR and a second carbene formed after nitrogen and CO elimination (A. Steinbacher, et al. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014, 16, 7290-7298). In...

In this paper we discuss how linguistic and geographic distances can be related using a 3D visualization. We will convert linguistic data for locations along the German-Dutch border to linguistic distances that can be compared directly to geographic distances. This enables us to visualize linguistic distances as "real" distances with the use of the third dimension available in 3D modelling soft...

Time-of-Flight (TOF) cameras are active real time depth sensors. One issue of TOF sensors is measurement noise. In this paper, we present a method for providing the uncertainty associated to 3D TOF measurements based on noise modelling. Measurement uncertainty is the combination of pixel detection error and sensor noise. First, a detailed noise characterization is presented. Then, a continuous ...

We have built a framework for using 3D modelling applications in an immersive virtual environment. In this paper we compare our immersive user interface made for an existing application to its original 2D desktop counterpart. The immersive 3D user interface was built on top of a generic distributed rendering framework on a cave–like virtual reality system. A test scenario was designed for compa...

Computer generated 3D models of buildings are an important component of many computer graphics applications. Rapid and easy-to-use modelling techniques are often more important than the ability to create precise and detailed geometry. We present a sketch-based modelling tool for the rapid creation of rough 3D building models. The algorithm analyses the sketch input, extracts shape and detail in...

Modelling of a complex carving surface is the most important process for digitization of art carving such as Chinese classical furniture carving, and it is difficult to be fulfilled. However, a complex 2D curve flower pattern can be easily acquired or drawn by handcraft or a drawing software. This paper presents a quick integrative 3D modeling method of complex carving surface based on a 2D cur...

Nowadays, there are rapid developments in the fields of photogrammetry, laser scanning, computer vision and robotics, together aiming to provide highly accurate 3D data that is useful for various applications. In recent years, various LiDAR and image-based techniques have been investigated for 3D modelling because of their opportunities for fast and accurate model generation. For cultural herit...
