The frame-to-global-model approach is widely used for accurate 3D modeling from sequences of RGB-D images. Because still no perfect camera tracking system exists, the accumulation of small errors generated when registering and integrating successive RGB-D images causes deformations of the 3D model being built up. In particular, the deformations become significant when the scale of the scene to ...

An elastoviscoplastic three-dimensional model is proposed in order to predict the response of brake discs for a High Speed Train (T.G.V.), which are subjected simultaneously to mechanical and thermal loadings. This elastoviscoplastic law is based on the internal thermodynamic variables and takes into account the non-linear kinematic and isotropic hardening with plastic strain memory effect. A m...

In this paper we present a general and robust approach to the problem of close-range partial 3D reconstruction of objects from multi-resolution texture matching. The method is based on the progressive refininement of a parametric surface, which is described using an increasing number of radial functions.

Numerous studies have shown the positive effects of rosmarinic acid on the nervous system. Rosmarinic acid as a herbal compound with anti-inflammatory effects can prevent the destructive effect of inflammation on the nervous system. Furthermore, various studies have emphasized the advantages of three dimensional (3D) culture over the two dimensional (2D) culture of cells. In this study, thermos...

The Morphon, a non-rigid registration method is presented and applied to a number of registration applications. The algorithm takes a protoype image (or volume) and morphs it into a target image using an iterative, multi-resolution technique. The deformation process is done in three steps: displacement estimation, deformation field accumulation and deformation. The framework could be described ...

Slope stability analysis is one of the most important problems in mining and geotechnical engineering. Ignoring the importance of these problems can lead to significant losses. Selecting an appropriate method to analyze the slope stability requires a proper understanding of how different factors influence the outputs of the analyses. This paper evaluates the effects of considering the real geom...

Background. Basketball is a dynamic sport where athletes are expected to observe the fast movements of team players and opponents in a performance. This condition requires a collective focus on the stipulated tasks, to achieve peak performance. Besides, training is frequently performed to improve concentration and athlete performance. This instigates the need for technology-based methods, inclu...
