It is often difficult for individual tourists to make a sightseeing tour plan because they do not have prior knowledge about the destination. Although several systems have been developed for assisting the user’s tour planning, these systems lack interactivity, while demanding a lot of data input from the user. In this paper, we introduce a new computer-aided tour planning system, called CT-Plan...

As oil and gas production moves to ever more challenging areas, increased use of technology becomes increasingly important. One technology that can contribute towards achieving safe and economic production from such areas is computer-aided process engineering. We outline the use of such technology in two (of many) instances: Managed pressure drilling (MPD) for deep-offshore applications and nat...

This paper presents an optimal planning problem for workpiece measurement. Two sequential optimization algorithms are introduced to find maximum determinant solutions. Then, based on a reliability analysis of workpiece localization and the sequential optimization algorithms, a computer-aided probing strategy is proposed. With this strategy, given the desired translation and orientation error bo...

In this article, we discuss the development of methods for computer-aided jaw surgery, which allows us to incorporate the high level of precision necessary for transferring virtual plans into the operating room. We also present a complete computer-aided surgery system developed in close collaboration with surgeons. Surgery planning and simulation include construction of 3-dimensional surface mo...

introduction breast cancer is the second cause of mortality among women. early detection of it can enhance the chance of survival. screening systems such as mammography cannot perfectly differentiate between patients and healthy individuals. computer-aided diagnosis can help physicians make a more accurate diagnosis. materials and methods regarding the importance of separating normal and abnorm...

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an important interface between computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) in the computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) environment. A good process plan of a part is built up based on two elements: (1) optimized sequence of the operations of the part; and (2) optimized selection of the machine, cutting tool and tool access direc...
