This paper presents a markerless tracking algorithm for augmented reality with no constraints in the geometry of the scene. User’s pose is estimated using natural feature point extraction and tracking, and the epipolar geometry constraint between camera views. An online registration tool is also described. With this procedure, the user determines the initial 3D pose of the virtual object that a...

This paper provides a model theoretic semantics to feature terms augmented with set descriptions. We provide constraints to specify HPSG style set descriptions, fixed cardinality set descriptions, set-membership constraints, restricted universal role quantifications, set union, intersection, subset and disjointness. A sound, complete and terminating consistency checking procedure is provided to...

The goal of this paper is to formulate and solve structural optimization problems with constraints on the global stability of the structure. The stability constraint is based on the linear buckling phenomenon. We formulate the problem as a nonconvex semidefinite programming problem and introduce an algorithm based on the Augmented Lagrangian method combined with the Trust-Region technique. The ...

We address the iterative solution of KKT systems arising in the solution of convex quadratic programming problems. Two strictly related and well established formulations for such systems are studied with particular emphasis on the effect of preconditioning strategies on their relation. Constraint and augmented preconditioners are considered, and the choice of the augmentation matrix is discusse...

A nite element formulation to deal with the friction contact problem between an elastic body and a rigid foundation is presented. An augmented Lagrangian method, which incorporates two Lagrange multipliers and a slack variable in the constraint equation, is developed. In this method, the solution is achieved through a Newton-Raphson monolithic iterative strategy and leads to simple implementati...

Necessary first-order sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Sequential optimality conditions are satisfied by local minimizers of optimization problems independently of the fulfillment of constraint qualifications. A new condition of this type is introduced in the present paper. It will be proved that ...

abstract the main purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimal amount of expenses of government relating to the protection of property rights (pprs). to achieve these purposes we have introduced concept of social intelligence with respect to pprs and then developed different growth model from existing literature. in the second step the optimal share of government spending on the pprs is calcu...

let $gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. denote by $upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. in the classes of graphs $gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented zagreb index are determined.

In general, microgrids have a high renewable energy abandonment rate and grid construction operation costs. To improve the microgrid utilization rate, economic advantages, environmental safety of power operation, we propose hybrid storage capacity optimization method for wind–solar–diesel grid-connected system, based on an augmented ε- constraint method. First, battery is coupled with seasonal ...
