曲线插值约束的LOOP细分曲面

提出基于Loop细分方法的曲线插值方法,不需要修改细分规则,只需以插值曲线的控制多边形为中心多边形,向其两侧构造对称三角网格带,该对称三角网格带将收敛于插值曲线。因此,包含有该三角网格带的多面体网格的极限曲面将经过插值曲线。若要插值多条相交曲线只需在交点处构造全对称三角网格。运用该方法可在三角网格生成的细分曲面中插值多达六条的相交曲线。     

细分曲面拟合的局部渐进插值方法

逼近型细分方法生成的细分曲面其品质要优于插值型细分方法生成的细分曲面.然而,逼近型细分方法生成的细分曲面不能插值于初始控制网格顶点.为使逼近型细分曲面具有插值能力,一般通过求解全局线性方程组,使其插值于网格顶点.当网格顶点较多时,求解线性方程组的计算量很大,因此,难以处理稠密网格.与此不同,在不直接求解线性方程组的情况下,渐进插值方法通过迭代调整控制网格顶点,最终达到插值的效果.渐进插值方法可以处理稠密的任意拓扑网格,生成插值于初始网格顶点的光滑细分曲面.并且经证明,逼近型细分曲面渐进插值具有局部性质,也就是迭代调整初始网格的若干控制顶点,且保持剩余顶点不变,最终生成的极限细分曲面仍插值于初始网格中被调整的那些顶点.这种局部渐进插值性质给形状控制带来了更多的灵活性,并且使得自适应拟合成为可能.实验结果验证了局部渐进插值的形状控制以及自适应拟合能力.     

基于形状控制的细分曲面的局部渐进插值方法

提出一种基于形状控制的 Catmull-Clark 细分曲面构造方法,实现局部插值任意拓扑的四边形网格顶点。首先该方法利用渐进迭代逼近方法的局部性质,在初始网格中选取若干控制顶点进行迭代调整,保持其他顶点不变,使得最终生成的极限细分曲面插值于初始网格中的被调整点;其次该方法的 Catmull-Clark 细分的形状控制建立在两步细分的基础上,第一步通过对初始网格应用改造的 Catmull-Clark 细分产生新的网格,第二步对新网格应用 Catmull-Clark 细分生成极限曲面,改造的 Catmull-Clark 细分为每个网格面加入参数值,这些参数值为控制局部插值曲面的形状提供了自由度。证明了基于形状控制的 Catmull-Clark 细分局部渐进插值方法的收敛性。实验结果验证了该方法可同时实现局部插值和形状控制。     

NURBS边界曲面直接生成法

由于非均匀有理B样条(NURBS)曲面的复杂性,传统NURBS边界曲面的生成是先构造孔斯曲面,再由孔斯曲面向NURBS曲面转换得到,其操作过程比较烦琐。针对此问题,提出了NURBS边界曲面直接生成算法,该算法根据给定的四条NURBS边界曲线,结合孔斯曲面生成方法直接插值生成NURBS曲面,从而避免了通过孔斯曲面向NURBS曲面转换所带来的计算代价,因此同传统方法相比,具有较低的计算代价。实验结果表明:该算法简化了曲面生成步骤,减少了曲面转换过程的计算量,生成的曲面边界信息明确,且连续性好。     

基于顶点法向量约束的Catmull-Clark细分插值方法

提出一种基于顶点法向量约束实现插值的两步Catmull-Clark细分方法.第一步,通过改造型Catmull-Clark细分生成新网格.第二步,通过顶点法向量约束对新网格进行调整.两步细分分别运用渐进迭代方法和拉格朗日乘子法,使得极限曲面插值于初始控制顶点和法向量.实验结果证明了该方法可同时实现插值初始控制顶点和法向量,极限曲面具有较好的造型效果.     

半静态回插细分方法

根据传统静态细分方法的不足,提出一类新颖的半静态回插细分方法.结合统一的细分框架、半静态控制和回插补偿三者的优势,基于细分算子的观点,分别给出了曲线和曲面情况的细分规则,并对其极限性质作出讨论.按照该方法,可以在不改变控制顶点的情况下,构造出从逼近到插值控制顶点的一系列曲线曲面.同时,引入网格顶点和连接边的方向标注,以生成具有整体方向性的光顺曲面.由于该方法基于符号表示,因此易于实现与扩展,适合于计算机动画造型和工业原型设计.     

基于laplacian坐标修正的(√3)细分法

根据原始网格对细分极限曲面的影响分析,提出了基于laplacian坐标修正的(√3)插值网格细分方法.通过插值出面片中心点的laplacian坐标,来对动态生成的中心点进行修正,达到保持原始网格细节的目的.在非封闭网格的边界面片细分方面,指出了原始(√3)细分法的不足,提出了一种新的边界统一细分模式,它可以很好地控制边界面片的增长,而且具有稳定性和易于操作性.实验结果表明,该方法不仅能够让原始网格的细节在极限曲面上得到表达,而且可以得到一个连续光滑的曲面网格.     

渐进插值的LOOP曲面细分*

目前很多细分方法都存在不能用同一种方法处理封闭网格和开放网格的问题。对此,一种新的基于插值技术的LOOP曲面细分方法,其主要思想就是给定一个初始三角网格M,反复生成新的顶点,新顶点是通过其相邻顶点的约束求解得到的,从而构造一个新的控制网格M,在取极限的情况下,可以证明插值过程是收敛的;因为生成新顶点使用的是与其相连顶点的约束求解得到的,本质上是一种局部方法,所以,该方法很容易定义。它在本地方法和全局方法中都有优势,能处理任意顶点数量和任意拓扑结构的网格,从而产生一个光滑的曲面并忠实于给定曲面的形状,其控制     

形状可调的Loop 细分曲面渐进插值方法

针对Loop 细分无法调整形状与不能插值的问题,提出了一种形状可调的Loop 细分 曲面渐进插值方法。首先给出了一个既能对细分网格顶点统一调整又便于引入权因子实现细分曲 面形状可调的等价Loop 细分模板。其次,通过渐进迭代调整初始控制网格顶点生成新网格,运 用本文的两步Loop 细分方法对新网格进行细分,得到插值于初始控制顶点的形状可调的Loop 细分曲面。最后,证明了该方法的收敛性,并给出实例验证了该方法的有效性。     

用逼近型√3细分方法构造闭三角网格的插值曲面

为了避免用逼近型3~(1/2)细分方法构造插值曲面过程中出现的烦琐运算,利用3细分方法极限点计算公式,提出一种用逼近型3~(1/2)细分方法构造闭三角网格插值曲面的方法.给定待插值的闭三角网格,先用一个新的几何规则与原3~(1/2)细分方法的拓扑规则细分一次得到一个初始网格,用3~(1/2)细分方法细分该初始网格得到插值曲面;新几何规则根据极限点公式确定,保证了初始网格的极限曲面插值待插值的三角网格.由于初始网格的顶点仅与待插值顶点2邻域内的点相关,所以插值曲面具有良好的局部性,即改变一个待插值点的位置时,只影响插值曲面在其附近的形状.该方法中只有确定初始网格顶点的几何规则与原3细分方法不同,故易于整合到原有的细分系统中.实验结果表明,该方法具有计算简单、有充分的自由度调整插值曲面的形状等特点,使得利用3~(1/2)细分方法构造三角网格的插值曲面变得极其简单.     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
