Adding Grey Level Information to Point Distribution Models Using Finite Elements
نویسنده
چکیده
Point distribution models are flexible shape models in which a shape is represented by a set of labelled points on the boundary. This paper uses techniques drawn from the Finite Element Method to include grey level information in such models. As both Point Distribution Models and the Finite Element Method represent objects using a set of labelled points, the techniques are very compatible. Results are presented which show that relatively complex objects, animal bodies, can be represented by a small number of elements. The method will eventually be used to improve the chances of successfully fitting Point Distribution Models to image data.

Bending Fatigue Tests and Finite Element Models of Steel Rectangular Hollow Sections [SRHS]
The Welding in cold formed areas is not only an open question for statically loaded sections (brittle fracture) but also for dynamically loaded structures (fatigue resistance). A lot of structures are subjected to dynamic loadings and unfortunately very little information about the influence of welding in the cold formed areas on fatigue resistance is available. In order to establish the fatigu...

In the recent years, the optimization techniques using evolutionary algorithms have been widely used to solve electromagnetic problems. These algorithms use thinning the antenna arrays with the aim of reducing the complexity and thus achieving the optimal solution and decreasing the side lobe level. To obtain the optimal solution, thinning is performed by removing some elements in an array thro...

An elastic finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate the stress distribution in the initiation zone of the adhesive rupture during the 3-point bending test. This test is used to measure the adherence between a polyepoxy adhesive and aluminum alloy with different surface treatments. The purpose is to compare, in the high stress concentration areas, the stress fields calculated using fini...
