Knowing the locations of nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is essential for many applications. Nodes in a WSN can have multiple capabilities and exploiting one or more of the capabilities can help to solve the localization problem. In this paper, we assume that each node in a WSN has the capability of distance measurement and present a location computation technique called linear intersection for node localization. We also propose an applied localization model using linear intersection and do some concerned experiments to estimate the location computation algorithm.

In this paper, we develop a method for the reconstruction of 3D coronary artery based on two perspective projections acquired on a standard single plane angiographic system in the same systole. Our reconstruction is based on the model of generalized cylinders, which are generated by sweeping a two-dimensional cross section along an axis in three-dimensional space. We restrict the cross section to be circular and always perpendicular to the tangent of the axis. Firstly, the vascular centerlines of the X-ray angiography images on both projections are semiautomatically extracted by multiscale vessel tracking using Gabor filters, and the radius of the coronary are also acquired simultaneously. Secondly, the relative geometry of the two projections is determined by the gantry information and 2D matching is realized through the epipolar geometry and the consistency of the vessels. Thirdly, we determine the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the identified object points from the image coordinates of the matched points and the calculated imaging system geometry. Finally, we link the consequent cross sections which are processed according to the radius and the direction information to obtain the 3D structure of the artery. The proposed 3D reconstruction method is validated on real data and is shown to perform robustly and accurately in the presence of noise.

We present a geometric approach to multibody motion segmentation from line correspondences. Given three perspective views containing multiple moving objects, we demonstrate that after applying a polynomial embedding to the line correspondences, they became related by the so-called multibody trilinear constrain and its associated multibody trifocal tensor. We show how to obtain the individual trifocal tensor from the second order derivatives of the multibody trilinear constraint. Given trifocal tensors, we obtain the clustering of the motions and correspondences. Experimental results on synthetic and real dynamic scenes are presented

Most of the existing work regarding topology preserving hierarchies is mainly preoccupied with 2D domains. But recently attention has turned to 3D, and more generally, nD representations. Even more than in 2D, the necessity for reducing these representations exists and motivates the research in hierarchical structures i.e. pyramids. Using representations that support any dimension, like e.g. the combinatorial map, n dimensional irregular pyramids can be built, thus obtaining reduced representations of the original data, while preserving the topology. This paper presents 3D combinatorial maps and the primitive operations needed to simplify such representations. Minimal configurations of the three primitive topological configurations, simplex, hole, and tunnel, and two possible configurations for two tori are presented. Experimental results and possible applications show the potential of the approach

In this paper, we proposed a visual position calibration method using colored rectangle signboards for a mobile robot which is designed to work in a room environment. The rectangle signboards are placed in several known positions. By calculate the vanishing points in the image of the signboard, it is possible to obtain the relative direction and distance between the signboard and the robot by a single image. Experiments of position calibration were conducted. The results showed this method is effective and the errors between the set up positions and the experimental results were about 1.7 degrees and 3 cm when the distance to the signboards was set to 100 cm

Motivated by the requirements of modern archaeologists, we are developing a documentation system based on structured light for acquisition of ceramics. Fragments of ceramics are daily finds at excavations and important for archaeological research, because their shape leads to information about ancient cultures. The shapes used for documentation are called profile lines and estimated by a vertical cross-section of orientated fragments. As ceramics have been produced using rotational plates for several thousands of years, the rotational axis can be used for orientation. Therefore we conducted experiments using existing methods for estimation of the rotational axis. The drawbacks of these methods are the requirement of either complete objects or industrialized quality of symmetry. Therefore we show a new method using circle templates, which has been inspired by the manual method of archaeologists. In this work we present results using previous and related work in comparison with the estimation of the rotational axis using circle templates. The results of the presented methods are shown for synthetic data, well-known fragments and real data acquired at an archaeological excavation. Finally a conclusion and an outlook is given.

Feature subset selection is a fundamental problem of data mining. The mutual information of feature subset is a measure for feature subset containing class feature information. A hashing mechanism is proposed to calculate the mutual information of feature subset. The feature relevancy is defined by mutual information. Redundancy-synergy coefficient, a novel redundancy and synergy measure for features to describe the class feature, is defined. In terms of information maximization rule, a bidirectional heuristic feature subset selection method based on mutual information and redundancy-synergy coefficient is presented. This study’s experiments show the good performance of the new method.
