The 3D object recognition stands a very important role in the process of computer vision. The recognition of objects is fundamental step in the design of more automated systems. The need for these systems is now high. Therefore, the 3D object recognition has a high impact. The most frequently used methods are based on neural networks (NNs), or, the derivation of NNs. The NNs approaches have high impact...
The paper is introducing an adoption of Industry 4.0 Concept on Smart City theoretic model. Cities are upgraded with latest computing and ICT technologies throughout all systems and infrastructure. New data are collected in big amounts and ability to use them is changing how city subsystems can communicate together, to make cities work better and serve better to their users. Smart Cities are convoluted...
In this paper, we present recent progress in the first-principles modeling and quantitative statistical analysis of complex electronics systems. The scientific contributions are twofold: (i) high-performance and scalable algorithms to conquer the computational complexity of extreme-scale simulations on massively parallel computing platforms; (ii) hybrid deterministic and stochastic formulations for...
Manifold is a generic high-level system design language designed to resemble modern functional programming languages. It is intended to be usable in a variety of design domains that can be conceptualized with components, connectors, ports, and constraints. Domain-specific backends exist for microfluidic devices and digital logic circuits. In Manifold 2.0 we have enhanced both the frontend language...
This paper is devoted to approaches and algorithms for fluid mesh rotation in mechanical models of a living cell. Described algorithms are designed to prevent FEM mesh from twisting and self-intersection in numerical simulation of a rotating fluid mesh, which provide means for modeling a wider range of solid and shell rotations.
Virtual Reality technology has a promising future in the area of living space because of its capacity for deconstructing data of space and visualization. The article is mainly about the brand new ways of space designing and the application of intelligent home system based on virtual reality technologies. It describes the revolution this technology will bring in constructing a humanized, scientific,...
Virtual reality (VR) technology has been applied successfully in a wide range of fields, as mobile devices and wearable electronics have become popular commercial products. In this pilot study, we apply the VR technology with seven main steps to reconstruct a historical site (i.e., a nonextant historic east Taiwan railway station) to develop a VR simulation system. It provides an interactive environment...
Prospective memory can maintain our ability to living independently, which is important for our daily lives. Evaluation of prospective memory can be reflecting the severity of cognitive ability regression. Previous studies developed slide-based task and living-based task to evaluate prospective memory performance in different conditions. However, as a new technology that can provide a more realistic...
A 3D CAPTCHA using mental rotation, called YUNiTi CAPTCHA, has been proposed as an advanced system to enable discrimination between computers and humans. YUNiTi CAPTCHA is performed in a “cognometric” mental rotation task. We point out that YUNiTi CAPTCHA has a vulnerability to some pattern matching attacks, which choose the most similar images to a question image among a list of candidate images...
A process-scheduling algorithm is a fundamental operating system function that manages the assignment of CPU (Central Processing Unit) processes. It aims to make the system efficient, fast, and fair, allowing as many processes as possible to make the best use of the CPU at any given time. Understanding scheduling algorithms and their impact in practice is a challenging and time-consuming task for...
This paper introduces how minimum variance control principles are applied to the control of human emotion - excitement signal. We use changing distance-between-eyes in a virtual 3D face as a control signal. A minimum variance control law is synthesized by minimizing control quality criterion in an admissible domain. Admissible domain is composed of input signal boundaries. Relatively high control...
In this paper, we present a new model to describe and program a parallel clusters using graphic processing unit, multi agent and distributed systems. The model are based physically on a multitude of computer nodes arranged and coupled according to the paradigm and topology of multi agent system. Basing on the agent modelling technique and on the java and C/C++ language, we develop a framework to build...
This paper builds on the authors' previous work with Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a tool to enhance traditional visualizations and facilitate the understanding of complex information. In this paper, we expand our previous work with AR technology by focusing on the process of creating custom content. Based on users' feedback, we describe and compare various strategies to create 3D models from...
The ABET engineering criteria was first formulated and introduced to the American education system in the middle 1990s. The ABET accreditation system defines an engineering graduate according to Blooms Taxonomy. As a part of the continuing curriculum improvement at Bucknell University, a new junior-level design course has been recently introduced into the curriculum. The course title is ECEG 301:...
Based on the Kinect deep camera scanning human body, use multiple somatosensory sensor scanning to establish human body model, select characteristics points of human body and establish human body characteristics curve. Use the algorithm of curve computer to quickly collect 3D data of human body to adjust the needs of clothes development and development of human modeling technology. The required space...
In this paper, the new approach to automatization of non-rigid parts machining at their deformation is proposed and analyzed. This approach bases on application of multilink manipulators with vision system and allows not using the expensive individual equipment for exact fixing of parts before machining. Two different algorithms of intelligent path planning of manipulator's working tool based on vision...
Programmable matter i.e. matter that can change its physical properties, more likely its shape according to an internal or an external action is a good example of a cybermatics component. As it links a cyberized shape to real matter, it is a straight example of cyber-physical conjugation. But, this interaction between virtual and real worlds needs two elements. The first one is to find a way to represent...
Typing CAPTCHA is usually troublesome and is unpleasant for the users. But the security of some of the websites depends on it and causes that human being is distinguished from robots facing with different websites. Filling CAPTCHA by humans can be used effectively like electronization of books and different texts. In this article it has been attempted to examine using image processing for converting...
This article is dedicated to the phenomenon of video games virtual world. We have overviewed specific literature that let us formulate the generalized definition of virtual world: computer- based three or two dimensional environment or space that can simulate real world where users represented by avatars are able to communicate or interact simultaneously or synchronically. This definition is quite...
The article describes a new author's method of floodlighting designing of architectural objects. The method is described and the advantages and limits are shown. The method allows to create a multivariate concept of illumination without the need of usage of complex visualization tools. It is based on projections on the real object of the 3D model or two-dimensional grid, the luminance distribution...
