Fashion design

Summary

Fashion design is the creative process of assembling clothing and accessories by cutting, sewing, and adorning materials like textiles and leather with aesthetic elements like patterns, motifs, shapes, cuts, and colors from various cultures. Fashion design is the craft of fashion designers who create clothing, accessory, and jewelry for consumers, according to cultural and aesthetic influences, fashion styles, market trends, locations, seasons, and consumer segments. Fashion designers Fashion designers work in a variety of different ways when designing their pieces and accessories such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Due to the time required to put a garment out in market, designers must anticipate changes to consumer desires. Fashion designers are responsible for creating looks for individual garments, involving shape, color, fabric, trimming, and more. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They con

Lidar point-to-point correspondences for rigorous registration of kinematic scanning in dynamic networks

Aurélien Arnaud Brun, Davide Antonio Cucci, Jan Skaloud

With the objective of improving the registration of lidar point clouds produced by kinematic scanning systems, we propose a novel trajectory adjustment procedure that leverages on the automated extraction of selected reliable 3D point–to–point correspondences between overlapping point clouds and their joint integration (adjustment) together with raw inertial and GNSS observations. This is performed in a tightly coupled fashion using a dynamic network approach that results in an optimally compensated trajectory through modeling of errors at the sensor, rather than the trajectory, level. The 3D correspondences are formulated as static conditions within the dynamic network and the registered point cloud is generated with significantly higher accuracy based on the corrected trajectory and possibly other parameters determined within the adjustment. We first describe the method for selecting correspondences and how they are inserted into the dynamic network via new observation model while providing an open-source implementation of the solver employed in this work. We then describe the experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework in practical airborne laser scanning scenarios with low-cost MEMS inertial sensors. In the conducted experiments, the method proposed to establish 3D correspondences is effective in determining point–to–point matches across a wide range of geometries such as trees, buildings and cars. Our results demonstrate that the method improves the point cloud registration accuracy (~5x in nominal and ~10x in emulated GNSS outage conditions within the studied cases), which is otherwise strongly affected by errors in the determined platform attitude or position, and possibly determine unknown boresight angles. The proposed methods remain effective even if only a fraction (~0.1%) of the total number of established 3D correspondences are considered in the adjustment.

IMPROVED VARIANTS OF THE HUTCH plus plus ALGORITHM FOR TRACE ESTIMATION

Alice Cortinovis, Daniel Kressner, Ulf David Persson

This paper is concerned with two improved variants of the Hutch++ algorithm for estimating the trace of a square matrix, implicitly given through matrix-vector products. Hutch++ combines randomized low-rank approximation in a first phase with stochastic trace estimation in a second phase. In turn, Hutch++ only requires O (epsilon(-1)) matrix-vector products to approximate the trace within a relative error\varepsilon with high probability, provided that the matrix is symmetric positive semidefinite. This compares favorably with the O (epsilon(-2)) matrix-vector products needed when using stochastic trace estimation alone. In Hutch++, the number of matrix-vector products is fixed a priori and distributed in a prescribed fashion among the two phases. In this work, we derive an adaptive variant of Hutch++, which outputs an estimate of the trace that is within some prescribed error tolerance with a controllable failure probability, while splitting the matrix-vector products in a near-optimal way among the two phases. For the special case of a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix, we present another variant of Hutch++, called Nystrom++, which utilizes the so-called Nystrom approximation and requires only one pass over the matrix, as compared to two passes with Hutch++. We extend the analysis of Hutch++ to Nystrom++. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our two new algorithms.

This thesis deals with the modelling of fundamental aspects of the mission engineering, the physics, and the constraints of atmospheric entry of space vehicles. The aim of this work is to formulate a coupled approach for the modelling and the simulation of thermal fluid-structure interaction in atmospheric entries, taking into account the thermochemical and physical response of the material composing the solid structure. Numerous missions that aim to explore planets, comets or regions outside our galaxy are planned for the next few years. During the phase of entry into the atmosphere of a planet or a moon, space vehicles encounter extreme heating conditions that can damage the structure and the on-board equipment. A Thermal Protection System (TPS) is hence installed to insulate the vehicle’s internal parts from high temperatures and heat fluxes. Ablative materials, which are composed of high-temperature resistant fibre porous structure filled with an organic matrix, are often used to manufacture heat shields of high speed entry vehicles. The hot gas around the spacecraft transfers energy fluxes to the vehicle through the fluid-structure interface. The solid then reacts, with part of the heat being conducted in the deeper layers of the material, and part being absorbed by physical and chemical transformations of the material itself. The organic phase of the ablative material evaporates – this process is called pyrolysis – and these gases are blown into the outer flow, creating thus a protective layer. Moreover, the surface of the TPS may react with the atmospheric gases, consuming in this way a fraction of the material. A model for these two phenomena and the thermal fluid-structure interaction is proposed in this thesis. Numerical simulations are one of the most widely used tools to design the TPS, and a detailed mathematical model allows to reduce margins in the sizing. Atmosphere gases and the spacecraft structure form two distinct systems that interact through the external surface of the TPS, and through which energy and mass exchanges occur. Many computational tools exist to simulate the physics of each of the two domains. A higher level of accuracy is however achieved if the problem is approached in a coupled fashion, where each system takes into account the thermophysical response of the other. An innovative coupling algorithm, which includes the direct evaluation of the surface chemistry, is presented in this thesis. Using this coupling procedure, numerical simulations of the TPS of a European Space Agency project are performed and key parameters for the sizing of the heat shield are evaluated and discussed.
