چکیده

Implicit representations of geometry have found applications in shape modeling, simulation, and other graphics pipelines. These representations, however, do not provide information about the paths of individual points as shapes move and undergo deformation. For this reason, we reconsider the problem of tracking points on level set surfaces, with the goal of designing an algorithm that — unlike previous work — can recover rotational motion and nearly isometric deformation. We track points on level sets of a time-varying function using approximate Killing vector fields (AKVFs), the velocity fields of near-isometric motions. To this end, we provide suitable theoretical and discrete constructions for computing AKVFs in a narrow band surrounding an animated level set surface. Furthermore, we propose time integrators well-suited to integrating AKVFs in time to track points. We demonstrate the theoretical and practical advantages of our proposed algorithms on synthetic and practical tasks.

Test and Evaluation of Patient Tracking Platform: Use of Near Field Communication

In an earthquake situation, medical response communities such as field and referral hospitals are being challenged with injured victims’ identification and tracking. In our project, we developed a patient tracking platform (PTP). In this platform, first responders triage the patients with an electronic tag that reports the location and some information of each patient during his or her movement...

Differences in the oxygenation of the forearm muscle during isometric contraction in trained and untrained subjects.

The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis that a longer duration of isometric contraction is related to an increased oxygenation status of the muscle. A group of trained rock climbers and untrained subjects performed 15 kp sustained isometric contraction until fatigue set in. The oxygenation status was assessed using near infrared spectroscopy (ISS, USA). The results support the hypothesis...

Correspondences of Persistent Feature Points on Near-Isometric Surfaces

We present a full pipeline for finding corresponding points between two surfaces based on conceptually simple and computationally efficient components. Our pipeline begins with robust and stable extraction of feature points from the surfaces. We then find a set of near isometric correspondences between the feature points by solving an optimization problem using established components. The perfo...

Model Predictive Inferential Control of a Distillation Column

Typical production objectives in distillation process require the delivery of products whose compositions meet certain specifications. The distillation control system, therefore, must hold product compositions as near the set points as possible in faces of upset. In this project, inferential model predictive control, that utilizes an artificial neural network estimator and model predictive cont...

Isomap Tracking with Particle Filter

The problem of tracking an object in an image sequence involves challenges like translation, in-plane and out-of-plane rotations, scaling, variations in ambient light and occlusions. A model of an object to be tracked is built off-line by making a training set with images of the object with different poses. A dimensionality reduction technique is used to capture the variations in the training i...
