Precast prestreesed concrete braces are a new method for seismic strength of Concrete Structures which has the following benefits: a) no wet concrete work in construction site b) No bolt or anchorage to the existing frame c) easy to apply d) short construction period e) low construction cost, to evaluate seismic performance of strengthened structure a model consist of existing frame and concret...

High frame-rate offers benefits of robust and accurate camera tracking for rapid motion. However, the benefits are generally understated arguing that it is not possible to operate on high frame-rates due to stringent processing budgets and that even today 1060Hz is treated as a standard real-time frame-rate range. How exactly does the choice of a given frame-rate varies as computational budget ...

A prototype active surveillance system is presented. The system has two cameras, one of which is rigidly xed & has a wide angle lenses while the other is mounted on a pan-tilt head & has a zoomed lenses. The images from the wide angle camera are analyzed using dynamic background subtraction together with normalized cross correlation in order to identify moving people within the scene. An approx...

In the robotics community localization and mapping of an unknown environment is a well-studied problem. To solve this problem in real-time using visual input, a standard monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm can be used. This algorithm is very stable when smooth motion is expected, but in case of erratic or sudden movements, the camera pose typically gets lost. To imp...

where W = [W1,W2,W3] is a world point in the world reference frame, X = [X1, X2, X3] is W reexpressed in the camera’s reference frame, x = [x1, x2] is the projection of X in the canonical camera reference frame, ξ = [ξ1, ξ2] is x re-expressed in the image reference frame. The vector π = [π1, π2] is the principal point in image coordinates, f is the camera’s focal distance, and the diagonal elem...

Spacious experimental and numerical investigation has been conducted by researchers to increase the ductility and energy dissipation of concentrically braced frames. One of the most widely used strategies for increasing ductility and energy dissiption, is the use of energy-absorbing systems. In this regard, the cyclic behavior of a chevron bracing frame system equipped with multi-pipe dampers (...

 A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$,  is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in $L$. In this paper, we define and study the notions of a $tau $-real-continuous function on a frame $L$ and the set of real continuous functions $mathcal{R}L_tau $ as an $f$-ring. We show that $mathcal{R}L_{ tau}$ is actually a generali...

background: increasing frame rate is a challenging issue for better interpretation of medical images and diagnosis based on tracking the small transient motions of myocardium and valves in real time visualization. methods: in this paper, manifold learning algorithm is applied to extract the nonlinear embedded information about echocardiography images from the consecutive images in two dimension...

Peisen S. Huang, MEMBER SPIE State University of New York at Stony Brook Department of Mechanical Engineering Stony Brook, New York 11794 Abstract. We describe a high-resolution, real-time 3-D shape measurement system based on a digital fringe projection and phase-shifting technique. It utilizes a single-chip digital light processing projector to project computer-generated fringe patterns onto ...
