Shape-based clustering for 3D CAD objects: A comparative study of effectiveness

Shape-based clustering for 3D CAD objects: A comparative study of effectiveness

by _not_Exist_ | Dec 16, 2009 | 2009, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Shape Understanding

Abstract: 3D shape retrieval and clustering is of current interest in several different fields, including mechanical engineering. Several new shape representations for 3D objects are continuing to emerge. Most shape representations are embedded in a variety of feature...
Integration of Sustainability into Early Design through Working Knowledge Model and Visual Tools

Integration of Sustainability into Early Design through Working Knowledge Model and Visual Tools

by _not_Exist_ | Oct 16, 2009 | 2009, DESIGN METHOD, Design Representation, Karthik Ramani

Abstract: The issue of environmental sustainability, which is unprecedented in both magnitude and complexity, presents one of the biggest challenges faced by modern society. Engineers, including mechanical engineers, can make significant contribution to the...
Computing global visibility maps for regions on the boundaries of polyhedra using Minkowski sums

Computing global visibility maps for regions on the boundaries of polyhedra using Minkowski sums

by _not_Exist_ | Sep 16, 2009 | 2009, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Shape Understanding

Abstract A global visibility map is a spherical image built to describe the complete set of global visible view directions for a surface. In this paper, we consider the computation of global visibility maps for regions on the boundary of a polyhedron. Both the...
Three dimensional shape comparison of flexible protein using the local-diameter descriptor

Three dimensional shape comparison of flexible protein using the local-diameter descriptor

by _not_Exist_ | Sep 16, 2009 | 2009, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Shape Understanding

Abstract: Background: Techniques for inferring the functions of the protein by comparing their shape similarity have been receiving a lot of attention. Proteins are functional units and their shape flexibility occupies an essential role in various biological...
A method for measuring part similarity using ontology and a multi-criteria decision making method

A method for measuring part similarity using ontology and a multi-criteria decision making method

by _not_Exist_ | Sep 16, 2009 | 2009, DESIGN METHOD, Design Representation, Karthik Ramani

Abstract: When existing parts are re-used for the development of a new product or business-to-business transactions, a method for searching parts from a part database that is similar to the user’s requirements is necessary. To this end, it is important to...
Port-based Ontology Semantic Similarities for Module Concept Creation

Port-based Ontology Semantic Similarities for Module Concept Creation

by _not_Exist_ | Sep 16, 2009 | 2009, DESIGN METHOD, Design Representation, Karthik Ramani

Abstract: The modularity indicates a one-to-one mapping between functional concepts and physical components. It can allow us to generate more product varietiesat lower costs. Functional concepts can be described by precise syntactic structures with functional...
