Robust human face recognition is one of the most important open tasks in computer vision. This study deals with a challenging subproblem of face recognition: the aim of the paper is to give a precise estimation for the 3D head pose. The main contribution of this study is a novel non-rigid Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithm which utilizes the fact that the human face is quasi-symmetric. The input of the proposed algorithm is a set of tracked feature points of the face. In order to increase the precision of the head pose estimation, we improved one of the best eye corner detectors and fused the results with the input set of feature points. The proposed methods were evaluated on real and synthetic face sequences. The real sequences were captured using regular (low-cost) web-cams.
We study the problem of drawing simultaneously embedded graphs with few bends. We show that for any simultaneous embedding with fixed edges (SEFE) of two graphs, there exists a corresponding drawing realizing this emb...

The quality of machine tools is critical in determining their productivity and the accuracy of the finished work piece. The headstock of the machine tool has the greatest impact on these parameters. The tool or work-piece holder must meet specific demands for maximum speed and rigidity. These two parameters are variable, but always in contradiction, and depend mainly on the Spindle-Bearings System (SBS). In this context, SBS are increasingly being produced in combination with roller bearings, and with various combinations of radial ball bearings. This is mainly because the radial ball bearings allow groupings of different combinations to achieve the optimal compromise between the required maximum speed and the desired stiffness of the SBS. Stiffness, especially in ball bearings, is not constant but dependent on the magnitude of the load. The SBS is a statically indeterminate system, and an accurate calculation of the bearings and its nodes, as well as the whole system, is only possible using iterative methods. The exact calculation of SBS stiffness cannot be achieved without the use of powerful computers and high-quality software. Selection of the optimal configuration is achieved by analyzing a number of potential, alternative SBS solutions. The exact calculation of a large number of variants, and manufacturing their prototypes, is time consuming and very expensive. The solution is to quickly determine, with sufficient reliability, the parameters of the bearing nodes, which are influenced by the radial ball bearings. It is only in the final variation that an accurate calculation using iterative methods can be made, followed by subsequent production of a prototype for verification. At our workplace, we dedicate our time to intensive research into bearing nodes and the complete SBS.

In this paper, a nineteen level dodecagonal voltage space vector structure is proposed for the first time, by cascading two asymmetric three level inverters with isolated H-Bridges. The dodecagonal structure is made possible by proper selection of DC link voltages and switching states of the inverters. The proposed scheme retains all the advantages of multilevel topologies as well the advantages of dodecagonal voltage space vector structure. A generic and simple method for calculation of PWM timings is proposed. Also, a new method of switching technique is proposed, which ensures minimum switching while maintaining the linearity between modulating signals and the output phase voltages. Extensive simulation and experimental results have been presented for validation of the proposed concept.

Object grasping by robot hands is challenging due to the hand and object modeling uncertainties, unknown contact type and object stiffness properties. To overcome these challenges, the essential purpose is to achieve the mathematical model of the robot hand, model the object and the contact between the object and the hand. In this paper, an intelligent hand-object contact model is developed for a coupled system assuming that the object properties are known. The control is simulated in the Matlab Simulink/SimMechanics, Neural Network Toolbox and Computer Vision System Toolbox.
