The paper deals with the analysis of influence parameters resistance spot welding. Resistance welding is high-efficiency process for joining metallic materials. application still most used method car body parts. was determined by an experiment. optimal achieving highest load-bearing capacity joints material TRIP40 / 70 a defined thickness 0.77 mm were determined. results reached values from 630...

The overall movement of articulated bodies (such as the human body) is enabled by the coordinated movement of its rigid body parts. The body parts are connected by joints and, in general, move di erently. For interpreting these movements as the movement of one single body, it seems to be necessary to incorporate knowledge in the analysis process. Therefore, in order to recognize pedestrians fro...

In this study, a data set of 2922 lactating dairy cows in a sample of 64 conventional and organic dairy farms with Holstein Friesian cows in Germany and 31 conventional dairy farms with the dual purpose breed Fleckvieh in Austria was used to screen for correlations between the occurrences of different integument alterations. All cows were housed in cubicle systems. Alterations were classified a...

The application area of clinched joints is steadily increasing. They are vastly used in the automotive industry to join car body parts. Clinched components often exposed different environmental conditions as well cyclic mechanical loading. Those environments common originators multiple corrosion and material fatigue phenomena. It thus important include possible factors into design joining proce...

Given an image of a person, the problem of human pose estimation can be briefly described as localizing the position and orientation of the body limbs. The complexity of the problem comes from issues like background clutter, changes in viewpoint, changes in appearance, self-occlusions of body parts, etc. The pictorial structures framework [1] has been widely applied in human pose estimationn. Y...

A novel approach for estimating articulated body posture and motion from monocular video sequences is proposed. Human pose is defined as the instantaneous two dimensional configuration (i.e.,the projection onto the image plane) of a single articulated body in terms of the position of a predetermined set of joints. First, statistical segmentation of the human bodies from the background is perfor...

In this paper, a multi-station assembly process is modeled for diagnosing automotive body dimensional faults. The proposed approach enables multi-station assembly process modeling based on design information (CAD) and allows system behavior determination based on the in-line measurements of the final product. The method includes generic modeling of the key assembly process characteristics; tool...
