考虑代数双曲B样条曲线的升阶问题,从理论上证明了曲线的升阶可以理解为控制顶点的割角过程.为了实现代数双曲B样条曲线的升阶,文中构造了一组基函数——双阶代数双曲B样条基函数,这组基函数并不具有统一的阶数,而具有"双阶"性质.代数双曲B样条基函数与双阶样条基函数之间的变换公式可以导出曲线升阶的割角算法.     

T样条曲面在B样条曲面局部拼接中的应用

为解决相邻B样条曲面在局部拼接时由于曲面细分而加入冗余控制点的问题,利用T样条曲面良好的局部细分性,提出一种更有效的T样条曲面局部拼接法。将相邻B样条曲面精确转换为两张全行列T样条曲面;利用T样条曲面的局部均匀细分算法得到局部拼接边界上的一致性,在曲面上加入局部控制点;将局部细分后的曲面连续拼接为一张控制点更少的T样条组合曲面。与B样条曲面的细分拼接法相比,该方法在曲面细分时不加入任何冗余控制点,在局部拼接后能够得到一张更精简的组合曲面。

样条基的几乎严格全正性和曲线插值适定性关系密切,是几何造型中一个基本且重要的问题.文中证明了代数双曲B样条基具有几乎严格全正性:首先引入代数双曲B样条函数,通过嵌入节点算法推导出函数的零点数和变差数之间的关系;进一步,利用数学归纳法证明了该基具有几乎严格全正性.文中的证明方法直观且具有几何性,为造型中使用代数双曲B样条基奠定了更为完备的理论基础.

λ、μ-B样条上可展曲面的几何设计

基于3D射影空间中点和平面间的对偶性这一重要思想,提出了两种直接、简单的可展曲面设计方法。该方法将可展曲面用具有调配函数的控制平面来表示,这种调配函数定义了一种新的带有λ、μ两个局部形状控制参数的分段多项式样条曲线,使新的可展曲面具有灵活的局部形状可调性和更强的描述能力,增加了造型的自由度。通过调节参数λ、μ可得到一族可展曲面,这族可展曲面保留了B样条曲面的特性,在λ、μ为特殊取值时所生成的可展曲面即为均匀B样条可展曲面,为曲面的设计提供了一种有效的新方法。

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。
