3D model retrieval using principal plane analysis and dynamic programming

Three dimensional models play an important role in many applications; the problem is how to select the appropriate models from a 3D database rapidly and accurately. In recent years, a variety of shape representations, statistical methods, and geometric algorithms have been proposed for matching 3D shapes or models. In this paper, we propose a 3D shape representation scheme based on a combination of principal plane analysis and dynamic programming. The proposed 3D shape representation scheme consists of three steps. First, a 3D model is transformed into a 2D image by projecting the vertices of the model onto its principal plane. Second, the convex hall of the 2D shape of the model is further segmented into multiple disjoint triangles using dynamic programming. Finally, for each triangle, a projection score histogram and moments are extracted as the feature vectors for similarity searching. Experimental results showed the robustness of the proposed scheme, which resists translation, rotation, scaling, noise, and destructive attacks. The proposed 3D model retrieval method performs fairly well in retrieving models having similar characteristics from a database of 3D models.     

An efficient method for developing requirement specifications for plant control software using a component-based software prototype

This paper proposes an efficient method to develop requirement specifications for Plant Control Software (PCSW) using software-component-based prototypes. Prior to this proposal, domain analyses were conducted on existing PCSWs, and their functions were classified into “similar functions” and “individual functions”. Then PCSW Software Components (PSC: PCSW Software Component, PSCs: PCSW Software Components) were developed to correspond to these functions. PSCs as parameter-style components were developed in order to satisfy the clients’ (we define clients as owners, managers and operators of plants) requirements. A support environment for developing requirement specifications was developed. The environment consists of the Prototype Development Tool (PDT), the Behavior Check Simulator (BCS) and the Requirement Specification Development Tool (RSDT). The method consists of four steps. In the first step, PDT is used to define the parameters to customize PSCs and to compose a PCSW prototype by setting these parameters to PSCs. In the second step, BCS is used to execute the composed PCSW prototype and check its behavior and relevancy against the clients’ expectations. In the third step, steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the behavior of the PCSW prototype satisfies the clients’ requirements. Finally, a requirement specification is developed from the PCSW prototype which fully reflects the clients’ requirements. In order to evaluate the proposed method, it has been applied in five development cases. A Requirement Coverage of 91%, a Requirement Revision Rate of 6%, a PSC Reuse Rate of 92% and a LOC Reuse Rate of 83% have been achieved. In addition, a reduction of 55% in the amount of time required to develop requirement specifications has been achieved. These results indicate that the proposed method has sufficient capability to develop an exhaustive and an adequate PCSW requirement specification. And the developed PSCs have sufficient functions and capability to compose PCSW prototypes, and the support environment is capable of shortening the time taken to develop requirement specifications.

分偏移距动校正方法的改进

在地震资料处理中，速度分析和动校正对资料品质的影响很大。由于动校正速度是随偏移距变化而变化的，而常规速度分析并没有考虑这一因素，动校正效果往往不是很理想，从而影响资料的叠加和成像效果。分偏移距动校方法是在不同偏移距上采用不同的速度进行动校正。但由于是在不同偏移距组上分别独立进行速度分析和动校正，因此不能将不同偏移距组的同一反射同相轴校正到同一to层位上。这样就需要进行繁琐的后续处理，而且还会降低同相轴的连续性和平滑性。为此，对该方法进行了一些改进，即固定to在不同的分偏移距段进行速度扫描，段与段之间的衔接问题采用平滑处理解决。理论模型分析表明，采取上述改进措施后，动校正效果得到了一定提高，改善了同相轴的连续性和平滑性。

Geotechnical study for optimizing the slope design of a deep open-pit mine,India

The study was undertaken to determine the optimal overall slope angle of a lead–zinc mine, which could extend down to a depth of 170 m. Detailed geotechnical investigations were conducted, including geotechnical mapping of existing benches to establish the geometrical and mechanical properties of the discontinuities, the drilling of eight boreholes and the establishment of the physico-mechanical properties of the intact rock. Based on these data, limit equilibrium and numerical simulation techniques were applied to assess the stability of the slopes and determine an optimal slope angle. It was concluded that the overall foot-wall and hanging-wall slopes should be 42 and 48° respectively.      

Red emission from Eu3+: PVA polymer film

Bright red luminescent Eu³⁺ doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films were made by solution casting technique. The emission performance of these films was studied from the measurement of excitation, emission, and lifetimes. On irradiation with an UV source, the doped films emitted bright red light. Such luminescent polymer films are expected to find potential applications as new optical materials. Emission process in the system was explained by an energy level scheme. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 3273–3276, 2006
