To implement an automated fluid magnetic abrasive (FMA) finishing process, an online monitoring scheme is proposed based on characterising acoustic emission (AE) signals in this paper. According to the material removal mechanisms during the FMA finishing process, the AE generation and characteristics are predicted analytically to be dominated by the interactions between the surface asperities a...

274 Optimization of process parameter for surface finishing in abrasive flow finishing process Ravi Gupta (M.E) Asst. Prof.(Lovely Professional University) [email protected] , Abstract-Abrasive flow finishing is a non-conventional finishing process that is used for finishing of work piece which are difficult to finish by conventional method i.e. by honing, lapping and other machining operati...

This paper compares two methods for object localization from contours: shape context and chamfer matching of templates. In the light of our experiments, we suggest improvements to the shape context: Shape contexts are used to find corresponding features between model and image. In real images it is shown that the shape context is highly influenced by clutter, furthermore even when the object is...

Parametric chamfer alignment (PChA) is commonly employed for aligning an observed set of points with a corresponding set of reference points. PChA estimates optimal geometric transformation parameters that minimize an objective function formulated as the sum of the squared distances from each transformed observed point to its closest reference point. A distance transform enables efficient compu...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts are typically subject to process-related rough or wavy surfaces, with stair-stepping effects whenever the parts produced have sloped or rounded part geometries; however, the level of optical quality frequently required demands that parts feature a smooth surface. In this paper, the results of a high-energy finishing process, which uses a disc finishing unit...

The objective of this study was to determine if dietary cation-anion balance (DCAB) affects the concentration of S that can be tolerated by growing and finishing cattle without adversely affecting performance. Angus cross and Bradford steers (n=114; average initial BW=252.8 kg) were blocked by BW and breed, and randomly assigned within a block to treatment. The design was a 3 × 2 factorial arra...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of teeth with different cavosurface margin cavity preparations and restored with composite resin and different adhesive systems. Eighty premolars were randomly divided in 8 groups, as follow: G1- sound teeth; G2- MOD preparation (no restoration); G3- Adper Single Bond without bevel preparation (butt joint); G4- Adper Single Bond with b...

Various acquisition, analysis, visualization and compression approaches sample surfaces of 3D shapes in a uniform fashion, without any attempt to align the samples with sharp edges or to adapt the sampling density to the surface curvature. Consequently, triangle meshes that interpolate these samples usually chamfer sharp features and exhibit a relatively large error in their vicinity. We presen...

Building facade extraction is the primary step in the recognition process in outdoor scenes. It is also a challenging task since each building can be viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions. In outdoor imagery, regions, such as sky, trees, pavement cause interference for a successful building facade recognition. In this paper we propose a knowledge based approach to ...
