Today industrial automation of spray painting is limited to high part volumes and robot trajectories that are programmed by off-line programming and manual teach-in. This paper presents an approach that uses range image data to obtain the geometry of an unknown part and to automatically generate the robot spray painting trajectories. Laser strip range sensors are installed in front of the paint...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to use the body painting method to teach hand anatomy to a group of preclinical medical students. METHODS Students reviewed hand anatomy using the traditional method and body painting exercise. Feedback and retention of the anatomy-related information were examined by a questionnaire and multiple-choice questions, respectively, immediately and 1 month ...

This paper introduces ArtHistorian, an art painting indexing system designed for automatic generation of dynamic painting presentations. The developed system aims personalized content browsing with a classification based indexing and query method implemented from the art historians’ perspective. ArtHistorian represents the visual content of paintings by a 6-D feature vector that is robust to sc...

Graphic artists have a wide variety of applications to use for digital painting. Although each application has its own solution to enhance the user experience, most of them rely on the same standard feature; a single brush, which is completely dependent on user input for location. Although this is required for a fully controlled painting process, making small changes on this feature yields unpr...

Motivated by a new way of visualizing hypergraphs, we study the following problem. Consider a rectangular grid and a set of colors χ. Each cell s in the grid is assigned a subset of colors χs ⊆ χ and should be partitioned such that for each color c ∈ χs at least one piece in the cell is identified with c. Cells assigned the empty color set remain white. We focus on the case where χ = {red, blue...

JUST OVER one hundred years ago, in August 188 1, there took place in London the 7th International Medical Congress, arguably the greatest and most historic medical congress ever held. As part of the social programme, Baroness Burdett-Coutts held a garden party at her Highgate home, Holly Lodge, at which she received the most eminent British and foreign participants in the Congress. This specia...
