The Iterative Closest Point (ICP) is a matching technique used to determine the transformation matrix that best minimizes the distance between two point clouds. Although mostly used for 2D and 3D surface reconstruction, this technique is also widely...
To overcome incomplete point cloud data obtained from laser scanners scanning complex surfaces, multi-viewpoint cloud data needs to be aligned for use. A hybrid improved SAC-IA with a KD-ICP algorithm is proposed for local point cloud alignment optim...
In many surgery assistance systems, cumbersome equipment or complicated algorithms are often introduced to build the whole system. To build a system without cumbersome equipment or complicated algorithms, and to provide physicians the ability to obse...
Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) is a rapid and inexpensive method for soil analysis; however, analytical results are influenced by particle size effects and spectral interferences. The objective of this study was to optimise...
The digital signature of documents and degrees is a topic widely discussed in the Federal Public Administration. Several laws and ordinances were created to standardize the issuance, validation and legal validity of digitally signed documents in nati...
Automation in agriculture can save labor and raise productivity. Our research aims to have robots prune sweet pepper plants automatically in smart farms. In previous research, we studied detecting plant parts by a semantic segmentation neural network...
The autonomous positioning of tunneling equipment is the key to intellectualization and robotization of a tunneling face. In this paper, a method based on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to estimate the body pose of a roadheader and buil...
Background: Fever is extremely common in neurocritical care patients and is independently associated with a worse outcome. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) lower the hypothalamic set point temperature through the inhibition of prostagla...
Non-contact measurement based on the 3D reconstruction of sheep bodies can alleviate the stress response in sheep during manual measurement of body dimensions. However, data collection is easily affected by environmental factors and noise, which is n...
The integration of computational intelligence and augmented reality has become increasingly prevalent in dental practices. Three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques have now become routine in orthodontics, prosthetics, and maxillofacial surgery. The...
(1) Introduction: Wilson’s disease (WND) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper (Cu) metabolism. Many tools are available to diagnose and monitor the clinical course of WND. Laboratory tests to determine disorders of Cu metabolism are of...
Automotive plastic parts present multiple challenges for Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation modeling, including complex thin-walled geometries, difficulties in meshing fine features (e.g., clips and snap-fits), and time-consuming manual proc...
The mineral-mapping capability of three spaceborne sensors with different spatial and spectral resolutions, the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMap), Sentinel-2, and World View-3 (WV3), is assessed regarding bauxite mining wastes in Amp...
