Evolution of Marine Morphodynamic Modelling: Time for 3-D?

The question whether it is time for marine morphodynamic models to take into account the 3-D nature of water and sediment motion is discussed starting from practical demand and the state-of-the-art in basic knowledge and model development. This leads to the observation that there is a clear practical demand, and that suitable software environments and some 3-D model components exist, but that t...

Linear Modelling of Marine Vessels Fuel Consumption for Ration of Subsidized Fuel

An approach to deal with the phenomenon of maritime fuel smuggling is to control the quantity of fuel that is supplied to vessels. For the same reason, fuel is delivered to marine vessels in Iran in accordance with the ration defined by the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC). The ration is determined by a fuel consumption formula defined by the Food and Agriculture Orga...

Modelling of image-catheter motion for 3-D IVUS

Three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows to visualize and obtain volumetric measurements of coronary lesions through an exploration of the cross sections and longitudinal views of arteries. However, the visualization and subsequent morpho-geometric measurements in IVUS longitudinal cuts are subject to distortion caused by periodic image/vessel motion around the IVUS catheter. Us...

3 D Face Acquisition , Modelling and Recognition

This paper presents a novel integrated 3D face verification system. The system comprises of a Structured Light Scanner acquisition stage, with 3D surface fitting and filtering. A-priori information of the human face is utilised to select and extract a region of interest from the face surface, whilst the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm is employed to establish correspondence between test...
