We present an efficient algorithm for computing the Hausdorff distance between two planar curves. The algorithm is based on an efficient trimming technique that eliminates the curve domains that make no contribution to the final Hausdorff distance. The input curves are first approximated with biarcs within a given error bound in a pre-processing step. Using the biarc approximation, the distance map of an input curve is then approximated and stored into the graphics hardware depth-buffer by rendering the distance maps (represented as circular cones) of the biarcs. We repeat the same procedure for the other input curve. By sampling points on each input curve and reading the distance from the other curve (stored in the hardware depth-buffer), we can easily estimate a lower bound of the Hausdorff distance. Based on the lower bound, the algorithm eliminates redundant curve segments where the exact Hausdorff distance can never be obtained. Finally, we employ a multivariate equation solver to compute the Hausdorff distance efficiently using the remaining curve segments only.

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has attracted significant interests recently for solving the multivariate optimization problem. However, it still faces insufficiency of slow convergence speed and poor local search ability. Therefore, in this paper, a modified ABC algorithm with bees' number reallocation and new search equation is proposed to tackle this drawback. In particular, to enhance solution accuracy, more bees in the population are assigned to execute local searches around food sources. Moreover, elite vectors are adopted to guide the bees, with which the algorithm could converge to the potential global optimal position rapidly. A series of classical benchmark functions for frequency-modulated sound waves are adopted to validate the performance of the modified ABC algorithm. Experimental results are provided to show the significant performance improvement of our proposed algorithm over the traditional version.

This paper considers the solution of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with random operator and/or random excitation using the spectral SFEM. The random system parameters (involved in the operator) and the random excitations are modeled as second order stochastic processes defined only by their means and covariance functions. All random fields dealt with in this paper are continuous and do not have known explicit forms dependent on the spatial dimension. This fact makes the usage of the finite element (FE) analysis be difficult. Relying on the spectral properties of the covariance function, the Karhunen-Loeve expansion is used to represent these processes to overcome this difficulty. Then, a spectral approximation for the stochastic response (solution) of the SDE is obtained based on the implementation of the concept of generalized inverse defined by the Neumann expansion. This leads to an explicit expression for the solution process as a multivariate polynomial functional of a set of uncorrelated random variables that enables us to compute the statistical moments of the solution vector. To check the validity of this method, two applications are introduced which are, randomly loaded simply supported reinforced concrete beam and reinforced concrete cantilever beam with random bending rigidity. Finally, a more general application, randomly loaded simply supported reinforced concrete beam with random bending rigidity, is presented to illustrate the method.

최근 원추곡선에 기반한 스테레오 비젼에 대한 연구가 주목을 받고 있는데, 이는 원추곡선이 행렬표현, 대응관계설정의 용이성, 그리고 실세계에서 쉽게 찾을 수 있다는 좋은 성질을 갖는다는 점에서 당연한 현상이라 여겨진다. 하지만, 일반적인 고차의 대수곡선에 대한 확장은 아직 성공적으로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 기약인 대수곡선 (irreducible algebraic curve)은 실세계에서 많지 않지만, 직선과 원추곡선은 무수히 많고, 따라서 이들의 곱으로 주어지는 높은 차수의 대수곡선도 무수히 많다. 본고에서는 2이상의 임의의 차수를 가지는 대수곡선을 calibration된 두 대의 카메라를 가지고 스테레오 문제를 푼다. 대응관계설정과 복원, 두 가지 문제 모두에 대한 closed form solution을 제시한다. $f_1,\;f_2,\;{\pi}$를 각각 두 이미지 곡선, 공간상의 평면이라 하고, $VC_P(g)$를 평면곡선 g와 점 P로 만들어지는 원추곡선이라 하면, $VC_{O1}(f_1)\;=\;VC_{O1}(VC_{O2}(f_2)\;∩\;{\pi})$ 의 관계를 이용하여 미지수인 평면 ${\pi}$의 계수들, $d_1,\;d_2,\;d_3$에 대한 다항 방정식들을 얻을 수 있다. 약간의 변형을 통하여 $d_1$에 대한 다항 방정식을 얻을 수 있고, 이 방정식의 유일한 양수해는 나머지 과정에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그 이후에는 $O(n^2)$개의 일변수 다항식에 대한 계산만으로 모든 스테레오 문제를 해결한다. 이는 과거의 여러 개의 다변수 다항식의 공통근을 구해야 했던 방법에 비교된다. synthetic 데이터와 실제 이미지에 대한 실험은 우리의 알고리듬이 옳음을 보여준다.
