In surgery planning, forensic and archeology, there is a need to perform analysis and synthesis of complex 3D models. One common first step of 3D model analysis and synthesis is to register a reference model to a target model using similarity transformation. In practice, the models usually contain noise and outliers, and are sometimes incomplete. These facts make the 3D similarity registration ...

We consider the problem of finding the closest match for a given target vector in a codebook of codeword vectors. We present an approach which makes it possible to obtain quick full-search equivalent methods for finding the closest match with respect to some distortion measure. Our algorithms assume that the distortion measure obeys the triangle inequality of metric spaces. Results indicate tha...

We consider the simplest case of Rutherford scattering, i.e. head-on collision, where projectile is treated quantum mechanically. The convexity repulsive Coulomb force invokes a disagreement between Ehrenfest's and Hamilton's dynamics. show that cannot approach as close corresponding classical one, average distance closest depends on position spread wave function describing projectile.

primary information about different methods of vegetation sampling is important to researchers to decide about their sampling. in this study we applied five distance methods (closest individual, nearest neighbor, random pairs, point-centered quarter and angle orderd) to estimate plant density in three vegetation types including artemisia sieberi, juncus littoralis and punica granatum in mazanda...

The current study describes the relative predictive power of descriptive norms (i.e., how much the target student believes referents "drink until they get drunk") and reflective injunctive norms (i.e., target student's perception of referents' approval of the target student drinking until drunk) across various reference groups. The aim of this study was to gain further insight into which types ...
