Semi-Automatic Generation of Assembly Instructions for Open Source Hardware

Automatic Generation of Assembly Instructions Using STEP

∗ S. Mok and K. Ong are currently Ph.D. and M.S. students of ECE at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. Abstract An automatic method for generating assembly instructions using CAD files is presented in this paper. Algorithms for extracting geometrical information of objects stored in a non-proprietary format, ISO-10303, STEP-CAD data file are explained. The developed algorithms form an impor...

Generation of landmark-based navigation instructions from open-source data

We present a system for the real-time generation of car navigation instructions with landmarks. Our system relies exclusively on freely available map data from OpenStreetMap, organizes its output to fit into the available time until the next driving maneuver, and reacts in real time to driving errors. We show that female users spend significantly less time looking away from the road when using ...

An Open Source Tool for Semi-automatic Rhythmic Annotation

We present a plugin implementation for the multi-platform WaveSurfer sound editor. Added functionalities are the semi-automatic extraction of beats at diverse levels of the metrical hierarchy as well as uploading and downloading functionalities to a music metadata database. It is built upon existing open source (GPL-licenced) audio processing tools, namely WaveSurfer, BeatRoot and CLAM, in the ...

Semi-automatic document assembly with structured source data

Semi-automatic Generation of Parallelizable Patterns from Source Code Examples

Generation of program patterns from source code is a difficult, time consuming and error-prone process when performed by programmers. We describe an implemented system which generates patterns from an abstract syntax tree with interaction by the user. Our approach is based on creating intermediate pattems by exploring d.m dependencies in the source code and allowing the user to change andor eli...
