We describe an analogical method for constructing a structural model from an unlabelled 2D line drawing. The source case is represented as a schema that contains its 2D line drawing, the lines and intersections in the drawing, the shapes in drawing, and the structural model of the device depicted in the drawing. Given a target drawing and a relevant source case, our method first constructs a gr...

Shape and motion are complementary visual features and each appears to be processed in unique cortical areas. However, object motion is a powerful cue for the perception of three-dimensional (3-D) shape, implying that the two types of information--motion and form--are well integrated. We conducted a series of fMRI experiments aimed at identifying the brain regions involved in inferring 3-D shap...

We present a visual approach to layout static components of user interfaces as hand-drawn compositions of simple geometric shapes, based on sketch recognition. We have defined a visual grammar using drawing data from target users, where we tried to figure out how people sketch interfaces and what combinations of shapes are more commonly used to define widgets. From these we built our grammar an...

Deep drawing of cylindrical shapes with high limiting drawing ratio (LDR) values is relatively difficult. Annealing is a further operation, which in turn adds costs and consumes significantly time to the forming process. In the present work, cylindrical cups from brass sheet were made with only limited anneal during few steps, but having LDR of 9 that is about 2 times higher than previous works...

We contend that two important, nonrelational, features of formal interorganizational networks—geographic propinquity and organizational form—fundamentally alter the flow of information through a network. Within regional economies, contractual linkages among physically proximate organizations represent relatively transparent channels for information transfer because they are embedded in an ecolo...

pictures or symbols. They generally do not have access to picture books or drawing materials. They do have some exposure to letter shapes, but do not have systematic

Drawing of square section rod from round bar can be done with two die shapes. In the first die shape, deformation starts from corners of the square and in second die shape, deformation starts from sides of square. This article has compared the drawing force for both die shapes and as a result optimum die shape was determined. Due to complexity of metal flow inside the die, analyzing of actual p...

In this paper, we study a new problem of convex drawing of planar graphs with non-convex boundary constraints. It is proved that every triconnected plane graph whose boundary is fixed with a star-shaped polygon admits a drawing in which every inner facial cycle is drawn as a convex polygon. We also prove that every four-connected plane graph whose boundary is fixed with a crown-shaped polygon a...
