This work proposes an approach for automatic and generic runtime-combination of high-level shader programs. Many of recently introduced real-time rendering techniques rely on such programs. The fact that only a single program can be active concurrently becomes a main conceptual problem when embedding these techniques into middleware systems or 3D applications. Their implementations frequently d...

This paper deals with an experimental analysis of stress prediction and simulation prior to 3D printing via the selective laser melting (SLM) method subsequent separation a printed sample from base plate in two software programs, ANSYS Addictive Suite MSC Simufact Additive. Practical verification was performed on 3Dprinted topologically optimized part made AISI 316L stainless steel. presents ty...

Embedded systems design often involves writing code in high-level languages such as C/C++ and Java and optimizing using Assembly while minimizing design time. Equally important is the choice of the execution target. Among these microprocessor targets are microprocessor cores for FPGAs. These cores are useful for applications that also contain application-specific hardware implemented on the FPG...

In this survey we investigate frameworks for systematic detection of errors in parallel programs. For sequential programs there are two basic classifications of errors. One is related to the total quality assurance in the software life cycle development. Another concentrates on logical properties of software defects. We systematically review existing terminology in order to characterize the rel...

We present a method for parametrised partitioning of multidimensional programs for acceleration using a hardware coprocessor. The method involves a divide-andconquer structure, with the “divide” and “merge” phases carried out by a general-purpose processor while the “conquer” phase is handled by application-specific hardware. The partitioning strategy has been captured in a simple functional la...

We described 3D printing technique and automated design software and clinical results after the application of this AFO to a patient with a foot drop. After acquiring a 3D modelling file of a patient's lower leg with peroneal neuropathy by a 3D scanner, we loaded this file on the automated orthosis software and created the "STL" file. The designed AFO was printed using a fused filament fabricat...

Background X-ray magnetic resonance fusion (XMRF) is used to enhance fluoroscopically guided catheterization procedures. We present a new method for biplane XMRF involving an augmented fluoroscopy prototype (Siemens, Forchheim, Germany). With this software it is possible to register 3D MRI data to biplane X-ray projections based on internal markers, without the need for a C-arm CT to perform 3D...

Detailed 3D plant architectural data have numerous applications in plant science, but many existing approaches for 3D data collection are time-consuming and/or require costly equipment. Recently, there has been rapid growth in the availability of low-cost, 3D cameras and related open source software applications. 3D cameras may provide measurements of key components of plant architecture such a...

In anticipation of high quality 3D-TV and 3D-stereoscopic computer workstations soon being "enabled" by new developments in HDTV and high resolution at panel displays, we are studying and developing some of the software that will be needed. This paper surveys three software topics that span the breadth of our work: issues relating to geometry, to compression, and to an infrastructure for 3D-ste...
