Improving architectural 3D reconstruction by plane and edge constraining
This paper presents new techniques for improving the structural quality of automatically acquired architectural 3D models. Common architectural features like parallelism and orthogonality of walls and edges are exploited. The location of these features is extracted from the model by using a probabilistic technique (RANSAC). The relationships among the planes and edges are inferred automatically...
متن کاملEarthquake Ruptures with Strongly Rate-Weakening Friction and Off-Fault Plasticity, Part 2: Nonplanar Faults
Observations demonstrate that faults are fractal surfaces with deviations from planarity at all scales. We study dynamic rupture propagation on self-similar faults having root mean square (rms) height fluctuations of order 10 3 to 10 2 times the profile length. Our 2D plane strain models feature strongly rate-weakening fault friction and off-fault Drucker–Prager viscoplasticity. The latter boun...
متن کاملFault friction parameters inferred from the early stages of afterslip following the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake
[1] We use subdaily GPS time series of positions in the first 5 hours following the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (Mw = 8.0) located offshore of Hokkaido, Japan, to estimate frictional parameters for the afterslip zone on the subduction interface. The data show little motion immediately after the earthquake with sudden acceleration at about 1.2 hours after the main shock. This coincides with the ...
متن کاملEarthquake Ruptures with Strongly Rate-Weakening Friction and Off-Fault Plasticity, Part 1: Planar Faults
We study dynamic rupture propagation on flat faults using 2D plane strain models featuring strongly rate-weakening fault friction (in a rate-and-state framework) and off-fault Drucker–Prager viscoplasticity. Plastic deformation bounds stresses near the rupture front and limits slip velocities to ∼10 m=s, a bound expected to be independent of earthquake magnitude. As originally shown for rupture...
متن کاملSlip Complexity in a Crustal-Plane Model of an Earthquake Fault.
We study numerically the behavior of a two-dimensional elastic plate (a crustal plane) that terntinates along one of its edges at a fault boundary. Slip-weakening friction at the boundary, inertial dynamics in the bulk, and uniform slow loading via elastic coupling to a substrate combine to produce a complex, deterministically chaotic sequence of slipping events. We observe a power-law distribo...
