22. A New Shape Benchmark for 3D Object Retrieval
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 12/3/2008
Authors: Rui Fang, Afzal A Godil, Xiaolan Li, Asim Wagan
Abstract: Recently, content based 3D shape retrieval has drawn more and more attention by researchers. How to properly evaluate the result of shape searching algorithms is important. Benchmarking is one answer to this question. Due to the limitations of curren ...

24. Spatially Enhanced Bags of Words for 3D Shape Retrieval
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 12/3/2008
Authors: Xiaolan Li, Afzal A Godil, Asim Wagan
Abstract: This paper presents a new method for 3D shape retrieval based on the bags-of-words model along with a weak spatial constraint. First, a two-pass sampling procedure is performed to extract the local shape descriptors, based on spin images, which are u ...

27. Training of neural networks to perform optical performance monitoring of a combination of accumulated signal nonlinearity, CD, PMD, and OSNR
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 11/1/2008
Authors: Jeffrey A Jargon, Xiaoxia Wu, Louis Christen, Alan Willner
Abstract: We propose a technique using artificial neural networks to simultaneously identify fiber nonlinearity, OSNR, CD, and PMD from eye-diagram and eye-histogram parameters. A correlation coefficient of 0.97 is obtained for a set of testing data.

Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 10/6/2008
Authors: Afzal A Godil, Sanford P Ressler
Abstract: The field of anthropometry is the science of measurement of the human body from which comparisons and characterizations of the size and shape of the body in different postures can take place. The size and shape of human bodies are important in many a ...

29. Identifying Objects in Range Data Based on Similarity Transformation Invariant Shape Signatures
Topic: Data and Informatics
Published: 8/19/2008
Authors: Xiaolan Li, Asim Wagan, Afzal A Godil
Abstract: Identification and recognition of three dimensional (3D) objects in range data is a challenging problem. We propose a novel method to fulfill the task through two steps: 1) construct the feature signatures for the objects in the scene and the models ...
