The COMSON project (COupled Multiscale Simulation and Optimization in Nanoelectronics) is a Marie Curie Research Training Network (RTN) supported by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Research Programme of ...

Territorial communication aims at giving visibility and recognizability to a particular territory by emphasizing its distinctive aspects. It does not only supply information, but it has also a persuasive function, exciting ...

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 ...

The increasing domination of spline-based graphic objects in CAD/CAS has driven a great attention to methods focusing on natural and intelligent free-form shape manipulation. We present a novel sketch-based system for the ...

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 ...

A triangular mesh is the piecewise linear approximation of a sampled or analytical surface, when each patch is a triangle. The connectivity of the mesh can be easily represented using its dual graph. Each node of such a ...

We propose to use an explicit function for adaptive tessellation of parametric curves and surfaces. This function behaves as a new parametrization from the surface domain (or curve domain) to the domain itself; it is build ...

In this paper, a novel approach to face clustering is proposed. The aim is the completely unsupervised extraction of planes in a polygonal a mesh, obtained from a 3D reconstruction process. In this context, 3D coordinates ...

Current scenegraph systems, especially systems used to build general purpose virtual reality systems, are trailing game engines and similar specialized systems in terms of the adaption of new renderingmethods like the ...

A real-time and robust algorithm for 3D camera registration in a Mixed Reality (MR) environment is described in this paper. The most used technique for camera pose (position and orientation with respect to a fixed or moving ...
