Due to the growth of service robots in the last few years, made it possible that robots can carry out human tasks. Houseworks that for humans would seem as common and simple as grasping, moving and interacting with objects, are a challenge both mechanically and computationally in robotics. Therefore, considering the process of grasping objects by robotic machines, this thesis introduces an algo...

Primitive recognition in 3D point clouds is an important aspect in reverse engineering. We propose a method for primitive recognition based on machine learning approaches. The machine learning approaches used for the classification are linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and multi-class support vector machines (SVM). For the classification process local geometric properties (features) of the poi...

A new slippage analysis method for recognizing basic primitive surfaces of CAD models is presented in this paper. Obtaining the exact normal and searching the appropriate local region of each point are found to be the key steps for determining the local slippage motion type. First, the tensor voting-based boundary point recognitionmethod is integrated to preprocess the original points. Then, th...

We consider the problem of reconstruction from incomplete point-clouds. To find a closed mesh the reconstruction is guided by a set of primitive shapes which has been detected on the input point-cloud (e.g. planes, cylinders etc.). With this guidance we not only continue the surrounding structure into the holes but also synthesize plausible edges and corners from the primitives’ intersections. ...

Whitehead, in his famous book Process and Reality, proposed a definition of point assuming the concepts of “region” and “connection relation” as primitive. Several years after and independently Grzegorczyk, in a brief but very interesting paper, proposed another definition of point in a system in which the inclusion relation and the relation of being separated were assumed as primitive. In this...

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a highly aggressive small round cell tumor belonging to PNET/Ewing sarcoma family. Ovarian tumors composed of primitive neuroectodermal elements are extremely rare. Herein we reported two cases of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors of ovary in two patients with different clinical presentations. Definite diagnoses were made bas...

primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the kidney are rare tumors representing about 1% of all sarcomas. extraskeletal primitive neuroectodermal tumors may be found in the genitourinary tract, the testes, ovaries, uterus, or pancreas. renal primitive neuroec- todermal tumors are frequently aggressive and almost 30% of all newly diagnosed cases present with distant metastases. surgical intervention...

A 2&(v, k, 1) design D=(P, L) is a system consisting of a finite set P of v points and a collection L of a k-subset of P, called lines, such that each 2-subset of P is contained in precisely one line. We shall always assume that 2<k<v. Let G Aut(D) be a group of automorphisms of a 2&(v, k, 1) design D. The group G is said to be line-transitive (line-primitive, respectively) on D if G is transit...
