Perceiving Object Shape from Specular Highlight Deformation, Boundary Contour Deformation, and Active Haptic Manipulation. [PDF]
It is well known that motion facilitates the visual perception of solid object shape, particularly when surface texture or other identifiable features (e.g., corners) are present.

Deformation behavior of β titanium alloy tubes in die-less forming with taper shape control
The distributions of the outer and inner radii of die-less drawn β titanium alloy tubes were evaluated in the drawing direction to clarify the effect of the deformation behavior of the tube on taper shape control in the die-less forming. Ti–22V–4Al DAT51

Direct numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals without contour deformation
We propose a method for computing numerically integrals defined via $$i \epsilon $$ i ϵ deformations acting on single-pole singularities. We achieve this without an explicit analytic contour deformation. Our solution is then used to produce precise Monte

The combined Lagrangian advection method [PDF]
We present and test a new hybrid numerical method for simulating layerwise-two-dimensional geophysical flows. The method radically extends the original Contour-Advective Semi-Lagrangian (CASL) algorithm by combining three computational elements for the ...

Planar contour tracking in the presence of pose and model errors by Kalman filtering techniques [PDF]
The paper presents a solution to the problem of planar contour tracking with a force-controlled robot. The contour shape is unknown and is characterized at each time step by the curvature together with the orientation angle and arc length.

AUTOMATIC DEFORMATION INSPECTION METHOD FOR DIGITAL AERIAL IMAGERY BASED ON STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS [PDF]
The geometric distortion of the push-broom digital aerial imagery can be rectified according to the data of the inertial measurement unit (IMU). The low precision of IMU data will cause the undulant wavelike twist deformations of the push-broom digital ...

Contour Tracking in 2D Images Using Particle Filtering [PDF]
A Monte Carlo algorithm for extracting contours in 2D images is proposed in this paper. A multiple model Particle Filter (PF) for progressive contour growing (tracking) from a starting point is designed, accounting for the convex, noncircular form of ...

The contour-advective semi-Lagrangian hybrid algorithm approach to weather forecasting and freely propagating inertia-gravity waves in the shallow-water system [PDF]
This thesis is aimed at extending the spherical barotropic contour-advective semi-Lagrangian (CASL) Algorithm, written in 1996 by David Dritschel and Maarten Ambaum, to more complex test cases within the shallow-water context.

An Overall Deformation Monitoring Method of Structure Based on Tracking Deformation Contour
In structural deformation monitoring, traditional methods are mainly based on the deformation data measured at several individual points. As a result, only the discrete deformation, not the overall one, can be obtained, which hinders the researcher from ...
