Approximately Planar Rigid Body Motion

RNG Rigid Body Motion

This note outlines how the coupling between the motion of rigid bodies immersed in a fluid and the motion of this fluid is handled in XNS. For a rigid body one has a group of nodes which define the surface of the rigid body called “reference node group” (RNG). For each RNG we save the properties of motion in arrays which in the following we will call “RNG arrays”. They contain the bottom and to...

Non-Rigid Body Motion

During the last few years motion analysis has developed into a major field of interest in image analysis and understanding . Considerable progress has been made as evidenced by the number of publications . However , most of these have been confined to the study of rigid body mot ion . Very few have addressed the issue of non-rigid body motion which poses many interesting and difficult problems ...

The Lagrange rigid body motion

Rigid Motion Constraints for Tracking Planar Objects

Typical tracking algorithms exploit temporal coherence, in the sense of expecting only small object motions. Even without exact knowledge of the scene, additional spatial coherence can be exploited by expecting only a rigid 3d motion. Feature tracking will benefit from knowing about this rigidity of the scene, especially if individual features cannot be tracked by themselves due to occlusions o...

Quantization of the planar affinely-rigid body

This paper is a continuation of [1] where the classical model was analyzed. Discussed are some quantization problems of two-dimensional affinely rigid body with the double dynamical isotropy. Considered are highly symmetric models for which the variables can be separated. Some explicit solutions are found using the Sommerfeld polynomial method.
