Accuracy assessment of mine walls’ surface models derived from terrestrial laser scanning
The monitoring of highwall slopes at open-pit mines is an important task to ensure safe mining. For this reason, several techniques such as total station, radar, terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) can be employed for surface measurement. The

Gap Processing for Adaptive Maximal Poisson-Disk Sampling [PDF]
In this paper, we study the generation of maximal Poisson-disk sets with varying radii. First, we present a geometric analysis of gaps in such disk sets.

Study on the Fragmentation Characteristics and Dust Generation Mechanism of Coal Cutting by Pick
ABSTRACT During underground excavation, coal dust generation threatens miners' health and damages ecosystems. Its generation is directly influenced by cutting pick performance and inherent coal properties. This study investigates the effects of coal properties and cutting parameters on coal fragmentation characteristics from a mesoscopic perspective ...

Constrained texture mapping for polygonal meshes [PDF]
Recently, time and effort have been devoted to automatic texture mapping. It is possible to study the parameterization function and to describe the texture mapping process in terms of a functional optimization problem. Several methods of this type have been proposed to minimize deformations.

Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

A curvature theory for discrete surfaces based on mesh parallelity
We consider a general theory of curvatures of discrete surfaces equipped with edgewise parallel Gauss images, and where mean and Gaussian curvatures of faces are derived from the faces' areas and mixed areas.
