On the line and its tensor products, Fekete points are known to be the Gauss–Lobatto quadrature points. But unlike high-order quadrature, Fekete points generalize to non-tensor-product domains such as the triangle. Thus Fekete points might serve as an alternative to the Gauss–Lobatto points for certain applications. In this work we present a new algorithm to compute Fekete points and give resul...

As a global feature of fingerprints, singular point plays important roles in fingerprint model, synthesis fingerprint, fingerprint classification, fingerprint alignment and so on. In our previous work, a rapid and effective fingerprint singular points detection method was proposed. That method detects singular points based on partitioning the orientation field into a serious non-overlapping hom...

These are notes prepared for a series of lectures at the conference Variétés rationnellement connexes: aspects géométriques et arithmétiques of the Société Mathématique de France held in Strasbourg, France in May 2008.

This paper addresses the problem of adapting a generic 3D face model to a human face of which the frontal and profile views are given. Assuming that a set of feature points have been detected on both views the adaptation procedure initializes with a rigid transformation of the model aiming to minimize the distances of the 3D model feature nodes from the calculated 3D coordinates of the 2D featu...

Data mapping is the essence of being human. This report follows the process of data mapping; the transmission of a structured utterance from one domain to another. It starts with signals in the world and moves through experience and engagement with the world through those signals. The paper develops descriptions of the materials and mechanisms of data mapping. The descriptions are aids and conv...

In order to better support the development of higher education of Chinese pharmaceutical engineering and encourage the career development of young personnel in Chinese pharmaceutical engineering field, ISPE and Sichuan University jointly organized the first China Student Poster Competition in Pharmaceutical Engineering at the end of August 2011. The academic competition helps to arouse and fost...
