Research on the creation and use of 3D city models has made rapid progress recently. An increasing number of cities and regions now own 3D city models or are planning to use them in the future. Especially planning departments see an enormous potential in the use of 3D city models to visually and algorithmically access environmental and spatial impacts of planning proposals. However, examples fo...

Test planning for core-based 3D stacked ICs with trough-silicon vias (3D TSV-SIC) is different from test planning for non-stacked ICs as the same test schedule cannot be applied both at wafer sort and package test. In this paper, we assume a test flow where each chip is tested individually at wafer sort and jointly at package test. We define cost functions and test planning optimization algorit...

Test planning for core-based 3D stacked ICs under power constraint is different from test planning for non-stacked ICs as the same test schedule cannot be applied both at wafer sort and package test. In this paper, we assume a test flow where each chip is tested individually at wafer sort and jointly at package test. We define cost functions and test planning optimization algorithms for non-sta...

Various forms of shortest path planning (SPP) have been studied by numerous researchers. Although SPP is generally regarded as a solved problem in 2D space, few of the existing 2D solutions can be applied to 3D. Since many real-world applications are based on 3D or higher space, this deficiency severely limits the applicability of 2D solutions. In this paper, we present a new method of partitio...

BACKGROUND Endovascular repair is fast becoming the treatment of choice for abdominal aortic aneurysms in anatomically suitable patients. 3D reconstructions not only aid conventional 2D measurements but also allow further analyses of the vessel anatomy. METHODS Computed tomography scan data for four male patients awaiting endovascular repair were obtained. 3D reconstructions were performed to...

The evolution and development of the three-dimensional (3D) architectural landscape is the basis of proper urban planning, eco-environment construction and the improvement of environmental quality. This paper presents the spatiotemporal characteristics of the 3D architectural landscape of the Shinan and Shibei districts in Qingdao, China, based on buildings' 3D information extracted from Quickb...

Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) have the advantage of moving freely in 3D space. However, creating compact and sparse map representations that can be efficiently used for planning for such robots is still an open problem. In this paper, we take maps built from noisy sensor data and construct a sparse graph containing topological information that can be used for 3D planning. We use a Euclidean Sign...

Radiation therapy, an increasingly available and effective cancer treatment solution, involves sophisticated machinery as well as careful planning. Interactive 3D simulations combined with accurate 3D patient specific data can improve the planning process saving time and resources in generating the optimal treatment plan. We illustrate the potential of X3D in radiation therapy, specifically rad...

This report considers the task of 3d reconstruction within a Next Best View (NBV) planning approach. Particular attention is given to the possibilities of extending the well-known Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) tracker [1] for the application within a controlled planning framework. The benefit of the tracker’s extensions to the planning procedure is evaluated quantitatively. In relation to general s...
