The first measurement of an absolute surface concentration of reaction intermediates in ethylene hydrogenation

The first measurement of a turnover rate with respect to surface intermediate concentration in a high pressure heterogeneous catalytic reaction is reported. By using infrared-visible sum frequency generation to study the hydrogenation of ethylene on Pt(111), it was found that the surface concentration of -bonded ethylene, the key reaction intermediate, represented approximately 4% of a monolayer. Thus the absolute turnover rate per surface adsorbed ethylene molecule is 25 times faster than the rate measured per platinum atom. To explain these results, we propose a model of weakly adsorbed ethylene intermediates reacting on atop sites.     

Quasiconvolutional smoothing of polyhedra

This paper describes a method for rounding edges and corners of arbitrary polyhedra that uses a fast approximation to convolutional filtering. The approximation defines an implicit surface, which is rendered with a specialised ray-tracing algorithm. By varying the radius of the smoothing filter, a wide range of effects can be obtained, from perfect polyhedra to blobby models. Small rounding radii give polyhedra a softer, more natural look, with edges well delineated by shadows and highlights. The rounded surfaces are much easier to specify and compute than those obtained by traditional filleting and surface-blending techniques, and are far more economical in storage.     

A portable stereo vision system for whole body surface imaging

This paper presents a whole body surface imaging system based on stereo vision technology. We have adopted a compact and economical configuration which involves only four stereo units to image the frontal and rear sides of the body. The success of the system depends on a stereo matching process that can effectively segment the body from the background in addition to recovering sufficient geometric details. For this purpose, we have developed a novel sub-pixel, dense stereo matching algorithm which includes two major phases. In the first phase, the foreground is accurately segmented with the help of a predefined virtual interface in the disparity space image, and a coarse disparity map is generated with block matching. In the second phase, local least squares matching is performed in combination with global optimization within a regularization framework, so as to ensure both accuracy and reliability. Our experimental results show that the system can realistically capture smooth and complete whole body shapes with high accuracy.     

Multi-sensor calibration through iterative registration and fusion

In this paper, a new multi-sensor calibration approach, called iterative registration and fusion (IRF), is presented. The key idea of this approach is to use surfaces reconstructed from multiple point clouds to enhance the registration accuracy and robustness. It calibrates the relative position and orientation of the spatial coordinate systems among multiple sensors by iteratively registering the discrete 3D sensor data against an evolving reconstructed B-spline surface, which results from the Kalman filter-based multi-sensor data fusion. Upon each registration, the sensor data gets closer to the surface. Upon fusing the newly registered sensor data with the surface, the updated surface represents the sensor data more accurately. We prove that such an iterative registration and fusion process is guaranteed to converge. We further demonstrate in experiments that the IRF can result in more accurate and more stable calibration than many classical point cloud registration methods.

An Efficient Output-Size Sensitive Parallel Algorithm for Hidden-Surface Removal for Terrains

We describe an efficient parallel algorithm for hidden-surface removal for terrain maps. The algorithm runs in O(log ⁴ n) steps on the CREW PRAM model with a work bound of O((n+k) \polylog ( n)) where n and k are the input and output sizes, respectively. In order to achieve the work bound we use a number of techniques, among which our use of persistent data structures is somewhat novel in the context of parallel algorithms.

Applications of the Conjugate Gradient method in optimal surface parameterizations

This paper concerns the solutions of very large symmetric semipositive definite (singular) linear systems involved in the problem of optimal surface parameterizations using inverse curvature mapping. Two approaches are presented that transform the singular linear systems into two kinds of symmetric positive definite linear systems, so that the famous Conjugate Gradient (CG) method can be used for solving them. Numerical experiments are run on two practical large problems to illustrate that the CG algorithm works very efficiently.
