This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the error of the edge angle measurement obtained from edge detector in the presence of grey level gaussian noise. Our analysis shows that the uncertainty of the angle measurement is only related to the grey level noise power and the gradient of the edge point at which the angle is measured. Both image independent upper bound and image dependent est...

In this study, the radiation generated in the diagnosis of scoliosis, to solve the problems by using an infrared camera and an optical marker system that can diagnose scoliosis developed. System developed by the infrared camera attached to the optical spinal curvature is recognized as a marker to shoot the angle between the two optical markers are measured. Measurement of angle, we used the Cob...

This paper describes a novel measurement method to accurately measure the rotating shaft tilt angle of rotating machine for alignment or compensation using a dual-axis inclinometer. A model of the rotating shaft tilt angle measurement is established using a dual-axis inclinometer based on the designed mechanical structure, and the calculation equation between the rotating shaft tilt angle and t...

abstract introduction: this study was aimed at assessing the effect of a new thoracolumbar orthosis on patients with scheuermann's kyphosis referred to iran medical university of tehran in collaboration with a clinic of technical ortopedea in isfahan. material and method: this new version of orthosis had a dynamic system as compared to previous ones which enabled the spine to extend. a question...

The present paper focuses on the investigation of self-cleaning properties based on studding of water repellency and blood repellency for TiN- and CrN single-layer and TiN/CrN nanoscale multi-layer coatings deposited via Cathodic Arc Evaporation (CAE) method on medical grade 420C stainless steel substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) wa...

The critical angle technique is modified for the accurate measurement of the refractive index of bio-optical materials. Based on the analysis of reflection from the boundary of the material as a function of incident angle and polarization direction, the critical illumination angle is obtained by numerical differentiation of the reflection curve. As an example, the dispersion curve of bacteriorh...
