Virtual Repair: Geometric Reconstruction for Remanufacturing Gas Turbine Blades

by preciseadmin | Aug 14, 2011 | 2011, Cecil Piya, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding

Abstract: The usage of Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) technology for repairing defective voids in high-value metallic components is time consuming, since traditional geometric reconstruction methods are not seamlessly connected to the DMD process. Here, we consider the...

sLLE: Spherical Locally Linear Embedding with Applications to Tomography

by _not_Exist_ | May 15, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding

Abstract: The tomographic reconstruction of a planar object from its projections taken at random unknown view angles is a problem that occurs often in medical imaging. Therefore, there is a need to robustly estimate the view angles given random observations of the...

Temperature Distribution Descriptor for Robust 3D Shape Retrieval

by preciseadmin | May 14, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding

Abstract: Recent developments in acquisition techniques are resulting in a very rapid growth of the number of available three dimensional (3D) models across areas as diverse as engineering, medicine and biology. It is therefore of great interest to develop the...

APIX: Analysis from Pixellated Inputs in Early Design Using a Pen-based Interface

by _not_Exist_ | May 14, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding, Vinayak

Abstract: Product development is seeing a paradigm shift in the form of a simulation-driven approach. Recently, companies and designers have started to realize that simulation has the biggest impact when used as a concept verification tool in early stages of design....

Global Geometric Affinity for Revealing High Fidelity Protein Interaction Network

by preciseadmin | May 14, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding, William Benjamin

Abstract: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis presents an essential role in understanding the functional relationship among proteins in a living biological system. Despite the success of current approaches for understanding the PPI network, the large...
