We address the problem of computing n-finger force-closure grasps of 3D objects. As 3D force-closure grasps involve 6D wrench space, we use Pl¨ucker coordinates and Grassmann algebra, to demonstrate that wrenches associated to any three non-aligned contact ...
For the patterning on 'unconventional' surfaces and/or non-IC applications new micro- and nanopat- terning technologies are developed. One of these techniques is the localized material deposi- tion through ultra-miniature shadow masks (nanostencils). Nanos ...
This paper presents a low rate progressive 3D mesh compression scheme for simple genus-zero 3D objects. The proposed scheme is based on signal representation using redundant expansions. 3D model representation is constructed using a Matching Pursuit algori ...
Software engineering always cares to provide solutions for building applications as close as possible to what they should be, according to the requirements and the final users needs. Systems behavior simulation is a very common application to virtually rep ...
This paper proposes a method to embed information into a 3D model represented by a polygonal mesh. The approach used consists in slightly changing the position of the vertices, in uencing the length of approximation of the normals to the surface. This tech ...
For the analysis of flows in compliant vessels, we propose an approach to couple the original 3D equations with a convenient 1D model. This multi-scale strategy allows for a dramatic reduction of the computational complexity and is suitable for "absorbing" ...
The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...
This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3D objects, based on an overcomplete decomposition of the 3D model on a sphere. Due to increased freedom in the bases construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in ...
In this paper we address the problem of multi-object tracking in video sequences, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. In this con- text, particle ¯lters provide a robust tracking framework under ambiguity conditions. The particle ¯lter tech ...
