    • Dynamic Rail Inspection by Vision System 

      Cerniglia, D.; Nigrelli, V.; Prior, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Current in-field rail track ultrasonic inspection technologies, requiring contact between the probes and the rail surface, show limitations as defect detection is affected by rail surface condition, rail head geometry and ...
    • An Efficient Algorithm for Adaptive Segmentation and Tessellation with Pixel Precision 

      Martinelli, Alessandro (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      We propose a new algorithm to get a representation of a curved surface with the precision of the image pixel. This technique uses some results from Scan-line algorithms, but it considers also the new functionalities from ...
