We present the usage of a non-discrete degree of interest (DOI) function, obtained by brushing multi-valued 3D simulation data in information visualization views, to define opacity, color, and geometrical transfer functions for 3D rendering in a scientific visualization view via linking. To reflect the smooth nature of features in flow simulation data, smooth brushing was chosen. Different avai...

An automatic parking system provides convenience for drivers by automatically finding free parking spaces and steering automobiles toward them. This paper proposes a vision-based free parking space detection system. The proposed method consists of two stages. First, the automobile rearview is three-dimensionally reconstructed using the optical flow-based method. The metric information is recove...

Bone is a complex highly structured mechanically active 3D tissue composed of cellular and matrix elements. The true biological environment of a bone cell is thus derived from a dynamic interaction between responsively active cells experiencing mechanical forces and a continuously changing 3D matrix architecture. To investigate this phenomenon in vitro, marrow stromal osteoblasts were cultured ...

This paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3D chamber. The chamber had cold and hot sources with Tc and Th temperatures, respectively. Its other walls were adiabatic. This study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. To conduct the st...

objective: allogeneic transplantation with umbilical cord blood (ucb) in adult recipients is limited mainly by a low cd34+ cell dose. to overcome this shortcoming, human placenta as a novel source of human mesenchymal progenitor cell (mpc)- unrestricted somatic stem cells (ussc)- was incorporated in an attempt to expand cd34+ cells from ucb. to provide a similar environment in vitro, we coated ...

aorta is formed in a dynamic environment which gives rise to imbalances between many forces that tend to extend the diameter and length. furthermore, internal forces tend to resist this extension. impedance tomography can show this imbalance to stimulate the stenosis of aortic valve, growth of the elastic, collagen and to effectively reduce the stresses in the underlying tissue. in blood flow, ...

This paper deals with the determination of film, via and contact structure resistances in VLSI metalization. Simulations of the flow of electrical current through thin metal films and VLSI structures using the three dimensional microstructural thin film simulation framework 3D-Films are discussed in this paper. For each simulation, the film structures are generated by the thin film growth model...

Imagine a 3D Television system where the user can freely choose his point of view in real-time during watching three-dimensional movies or documentaries. Clearly, one key component to 3D movie making will be the 3D model acquisition process for background models where the actors can be put to life in 3D. In this paper we present a new mobile 3D model acquisition platform to reach this dream. Th...
