In this paper, it is shown how the Discrete Smooth Interpolation method (D.S.I.) may be used as a new framework for creating, fairing and editing triangulated surfaces. Given an arbitrary mesh with an arbitrary set of vertices fixed by the user, D.S.I. assigns coordinates to the other nodes of the mesh, enabling the fixed vertices to be interpolated smoothly. The squared discrete Laplacian crit...

We develop and apply a novel framework which is designed to extract information in the form of a positive definite kernel matrix from possibly crude, noisy, incomplete, inconsistent dissimilarity information between pairs of objects, obtainable in a variety of contexts. Any positive definite kernel defines a consistent set of distances, and the fitted kernel provides a set of coordinates in Euc...

We develop and apply a previously undescribed framework that is designed to extract information in the form of a positive definite kernel matrix from possibly crude, noisy, incomplete, inconsistent dissimilarity information between pairs of objects, obtainable in a variety of contexts. Any positive definite kernel defines a consistent set of distances, and the fitted kernel provides a set of co...

The system envisioned is an automatic collision detection and warning system relying on a GPS module and a GSM modem. The vehicle to be safeguarded is to be fitted with the system sturdily ensuring good mechanical coupling with the entire chassis. In the case of an anticipated accident, the system detects it using the fact that the vehicle would be suddenly decelerated in such a condition. An a...

Generally, dynamic analysis of human motion using video image sequences is performed with some markers fitted on human’s feature points. Therefore, 3D coordinates for human feature points are obtained in real-time. However, these markers should be removed because these markers often obstruct natural human motion. In order to remove the markers on human body, though 3D human modelling is one of ...

General Curvilinear Ocean Model (GCOM) is a coastal ocean model curvilinear in 3 dimensions, developed by Carlos Torres et al. The model uses a direct numerical simulation (DNS) approach to solve the primitive Navier-Stokes equations and uses boundary fitted Curvilinear coordinates; therefore, it is possible to use GCOM in various topographies and meshes. GCOM is currently being coupled with he...
