In this paper, a new method of obtaining specular surface shape by using five degrees of freedom camera system is described. The normal vectors of the surface are extracted by achieving the coincident between the camera axis and the surface normal vector. This method uses a five degrees of freedom (5DOF) camera to fulfill this task. From the normal vector data, the shape of the surface is reconstructed. The result shows that the methodology improves the 3-D shape of object measurement with good accuracy.

A barrel cam is used as a very important part of an index drive unit. The index drive unit must have an intermittent-rotational motion. The barrel typed cam and roller gear mechanism has the advantages of high reliability to perform a prescribed motion of a follower. This paper proposes a new method for the shape design of the barrel cam and also a CAD program is developed by using the proposed method. As defined in this paper, the relative velocity method for the shape design calculates the relative velocity of the follower versus cam at a center of roller, and then detemines a contact point by using the geometric relationships and the kinematic constraints, where the direction of the relative velocity must be parallel to a common tangential line at the contact point of two independent bodies, i.e. the cam and the follower. Then, the shape of the cam is defined by the coordinate transformation of the trace of the contact points. This paper presents shape design of the barrel cam in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed methods

Purpose In the many face-related application such as head pose estimation, 3D face modeling, facial appearance manipulation, the robust and fast facial feature extraction is necessary. We present the facial feature extraction method based on shape regression and feature selection for real-time facial feature extraction. Materials and Methods The facial features are initialized by statistical shape model and then the shape of facial features are deformed iteratively according to the texture pattern which is selected on the feature pool. Results We obtain fast and robust facial feature extraction result with error less than 4% and processing time less than 12 ms. The alignment error is measured by average of ratio of pixel difference to inter-ocular distance. Conclusion The accuracy and processing time of the method is enough to apply facial feature based application and can be used on the face beautification or 3D face modeling.

A general formulation for shape design sensitivity analysis over a plane arch structure is developed based on a variational formulation of curved beam in linear elasticity. Sensitivity formula is derived using the material derivative concept and adjoint variable method for the stress defined at a local segment. Obtained sensitivity expression, which can be computed by simple algebraic manipulation of the solution variables, is well suited for numerical implementation since it does not involve numerical differentiation. Due to the complete description for the shape and its variation of the arch, the formulation can manage more complex design problems with ease and gives better optimum design than before. Several examples are taken to show the advantage of the method, in which the accuracy of the sensitivity is evaluated. Shape optimization is also conducted with two design problems to illustrate the excellent applicability.

This paper is concerned with shape optimization problems by the boundary element method (BEM) emphasizing the use of a reduced basis reanalysis technique proposed recently by the author. Problems of this class are conventionally carried out iteratively through an optimizer; a sequential quadratic programming-based optimizer is used in this study. The iterative process produces a succession of intermediate designs. Repeated analyses for the systems associated with these intermediate designs using an exact approach such as the LU decomposition method are time consuming if the order of the systems is large. The newly developed reanalysis technique devised for boundary element systems is utilized to enhance the computational efficiency in the repeated system solvings. Presented numerical examples on optimal shape design problems in electric potential distribution and elasticity show that the new reanalysis technique is capable of speeding up the design process without sacrificing the accuracy of the optimal solutions.

The accuracy of Shape From Focus (SFF) technique depends on the quality of the focus measurements which are computed through a focus measure operator. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to estimate 3D shape of an object based on Gaussian process regression. First, initial depth is estimated by applying a conventional focus measure on image sequence and maximizing it in the optical direction. In second step, input feature vectors consisting of eginvalues are computed from 3D neighborhood around the initial depth. Finally, by utilizing these features, a latent function is developed through Gaussian process regression to estimate accurate depth. The proposed approach takes advantages of the multivariate statistical features and covariance function. The proposed method is tested by using image sequences of various objects. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

The purpose of this research is to investigate optimum machining conditions to improve the quality of die using the CAD/CAM system(Power Shape/Power Mill) and 3D printing. Surface roughness is widely used as an index for processing degree of accuracy. The Power Shape was used to model the shape of product. And the model shape is confirmed by 3D printing system(BFB-3000). Also, tool path and NC-codes were generated using Power Mill. Finally, the product was cut using CNC machine(NBS-2025). The cutting time and surface roughness were measured by measuring instrument. And then this process was repeated by changing the conditions to find optimal machining conditions. The surface roughness behavior with regard to specific factors were analyzed. Through this study, the optimal machining condition can be obtained.

Z-map is a special form of discrete nonparametric representation in which the height values at grid points on the xy-plane are stored as a 2D array z[i.j]. While z-map is the simplest form of representing sculptured surfaces and it is the most versatile scheme for modeling nonparametric objects, its practical application in industry (eg, tool-path generation) aroused much controversy over its weaknesses ; accuracy, singularity (eg, vertical wall), and some excessive storage needs. Although z-map has such limitations, much research on the application of z-map can be found in various articles. However, research on the systematic analysis of sculptured surface shape representation via z-map model is rather rare. Presented in this paper are the following: shape modeling power of the simple z-map model, exact (within tolerance) B-map representation of sculptured surfaces which have some feature-shapes such as vertical-walls and real sharp-edges by adopting some complementary B-map models, and some application examples.

An efficient boundary-based optimization technique is applied in the numerical computation of free surface flow problems, by reformulating them into the equivalent optimal shape design problems. While the sensitivity in the boundary method has mainly been calculated using the boundary element method (BEM) as an analysis means, the finite element method (FEM) is used in this study because of its popularity and easy-to-use features. The advantage of boundary method is that the design velocity vectors are needed only on the boundary, not over the whole domain. As such, a determination of the complicated domain design velocity field, which is necessary in the domain method, is eliminated, thereby making the process easy to implement and efficient. Seepage and supercavitating flow problem are chosen to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the automotive industry, cold-drawn austenitic stainless steel is commonly used to handle high fuel pressures in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. In this study, we analyzed the effects of main process variables such as cross-sectional shape, drawing speed and friction coefficient on the microstructure, hardness and residual stress of the drawn material in the two-step cold drawing process. By changing the cross-sectional shape in the first-step cold drawing, the possibility of improving the shape accuracy or physical properties of the finally cold-drawn fuel rail pressure sensor product was investigated.
