The implementation of a Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipeline from a synthetically generated scene as well as the investigation of the faithfulness of diverse reconstructions is the subject of this project. A series of different SfM reconstructions are implemented and their camera pose estimations are being contrasted with their respective ground truth locations. Finally, injection of ground tru...

How to improve the efficiency of local subcontractor management in the Indian projects of China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau (CPP) is the center of this thesis. Based on the introduction of background and the analysis of reasons, this thesis puts forward a new management mode that combines “tame elephant”, “huge stick”, and “candies & sweet epithets” based on the “elephant-training artifice”, and ...

Collaboration is important in visualization: major scientific discoveries are typically the work of large research teams, not the solitary scientist. These teams need visualization tools that allow the different members, perhaps at different sites, to investigate collectively the results of a simulation or experiment. Yet current visualization systems are modelled on the solo worker: any collab...

With the increasing architectural diversity of many-core architectures the challenges of parallel programming and code portability will sharply rise. The EU project PEPPHER addresses these issues with a component-based approach to application development on top of a taskparallel execution model. Central to this approach are multi-architectural components which encapsulate different implementati...

Quantity of hepatocytes in the liver can reveal a lot of information for medical researchers. In our project, it is needed for evaluation of the liver regeneration rate. In this paper, we present a processing pipeline for automatic counting of hepatocytes from images of histological sections. In particular, we propose to introduce a preprocessing step in form of image smoothing. We apply five d...

projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. an integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (ga) and simulated annealing (sa), are presented to solve the problem. results of cal...

The visualisation strand of the e-Demand project focuses on the use of Grid services to support stereoscopic visualisation in a distributed environment. The architectural design of the framework allows each part of the visualisation pipeline, implemented as a Grid service and communicating in a peer-to-peer manner, to be highly flexible and configurable using the resources most appropriate to t...
