User-oriented product development applied to functional clothing design

A method for user-oriented product development is presented. After a theoretical introduction the method is applied to the development of functional clothing. The characteristic of the method is its starting-point with the user in the use-situation. Important product demands are derived from use-analyses. Three case-studies are described where this method has been applied. They concern working clothes, clothes for the elderly and military clothing. The quality of this methos as an instrument for product development in the clothing area is evaluated by comparing, on the one hand, this method with those usually used in the clothing industry, and on the other hand the new products with those formerly used. The method for user-oriented product development has proved to be complementary to conventional methods. It should be applied to products whose functional properties are of great importance. The method can be generalised to all users and to products with close connection to human beings.     

Feature-based registration of retinal images

Registration of retinal images taken at different times frequently is required to measure changes caused by disease or to document retinal location of visual stimuli. Cross-correlation has been used previously for such registration, but it is computationally intensive. We have modified a faster algorithm, sequential similarity detection (SSD), to use only the portion of the template that contains retinal vessels. When compared to standard SSD and cross-correlation, this modification improves the reliability of detection for a variety of retinal imaging modalities. The improved reliability enables implementation of a two-stage registration strategy that further decreases the amount of computation and increases the speed of registration.     

Finding trajectories of feature points in a monocular image sequence

Identifying the same physical point in more than one image, the correspondence problem, is vital in motion analysis. Most research for establishing correspondence uses only two frames of a sequence to solve this problem. By using a sequence of frames, it is possible to exploit the fact that due to inertia the motion of an object cannot change instantaneously. By using smoothness of motion, it is possible to solve the correspondence problem for arbitrary motion of several nonrigid objects in a scene. We formulate the correspondence problem as an optimization problem and propose an iterative algorithm to find trajectories of points in a monocular image sequence. A modified form of this algorithm is useful in case of occlusion also. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach considering synthetic, laboratory, and real scenes.     

Digital parallelism, perpendicularity, and rectangles

The slope of digital line segments is defined and an algorithm to evaluate it is presented. Parallelism and perpendicularity of two digital line segments are also defined. Finally, rectangular digital regions are defined and characterized, and an algorithm that determines whether or not a given digital region is a digital rectangle is presented.
