Visualization Ecology Applications for Measurement Science: A Visualization Gap Approach

June 13, 2022
Author(s)
Simon Su, William Sherman, Steven G. Satterfield, Terence J. Griffin, William L. George, Sandy Ressler, Shaw C. Feng, Judith E. Terrill
Advanced visualization research have remained insufficiently included in science and engineering workflows due to the highly specialized task-specific requirements and lack of suitable applications. Although the field of visualization is maturing and

Web Based 3D Visualization and Interaction for Whole Body Laser Scans

November 20, 2013
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
A web based system that allows the user to select, sort, and measure 3D bodies using displays inside of ordinary web browsers without the use of 3D plug-ins is presented. Our system, AnthroWeb3DMeasure (AW3DM), allows the user to visually explore a set of

Combining Genetic Algorithms & Simulation to Search for Failure Scenarios in System Models

October 28, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin L. Mills, Christopher E. Dabrowski, James J. Filliben, Sanford P. Ressler
Large infrastructures, such as clouds, can exhibit substantial outages, sometimes due to failure scenarios that were not considered during system design. We define a method that uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to search system simulations for parameter

Declarative Integration of Interactive 3D Graphics into the World-Wide Web: Principles, Current Approaches, and Research Agenda

February 10, 2013
Author(s)
Jacek Jankowski, Johannes Behr, Yvonne Jung, Kristian Sons, Philipp Slusallek, Sanford P. Ressler
With the advent of WebGL, plugin-free hardware-accelerated interactive 3D graphics has finally arrived in all major Web browsers. WebGL is an imperative solution that is tied to the functionality of rasterization APIs. Consequently, its usage requires a

Not Your Mother's Web3D: Integrating X3DOM, jQuery and HTML5

August 4, 2012
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This tutorial, for intermediate users, is suitable for educators, scientists and artists, with some 3D and programming experience, (all attendees). The benefits of declarative 3D markup, as realized by X3DOM will be emphasized in the context of integration

Integrating jQuery with the 3D Descriptive Markup of X3DOM

October 31, 2011
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This paper describes a number of techniques using jQuery to take advantage of the 3D descriptive markup implemented by X3DOM. X3DOM is a project of the Web3D Consortium, primarily being implemented by staff at Fraunhoffer IGD to provide 3D descriptive

Complex Systems Collected Images of the Month March 2008 - June 2010

June 16, 2010
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This document is a collection of twenty eight Complex Systems Image of the Month (IOM) illustrations. Each month as part of the Complex Systems Program in the Information Technology Laboratory an IOM is produced, posted to the Complex Systems web site and

Shape and Size Analysis and Standards

October 6, 2008
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
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

Generation and Manipulation of H-Anim CAESAR Scan Bodies

November 19, 2007
Author(s)
Qiming Wang, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper we present a procedure to create animated human models compliant with the H-Anim specification from 3D CAESAR scan bodies, which were captured using a whole body scan device. We also present a VRML prototype of an ¿Animated CAESAR Viewer¿ to

Retrieval and Clustering from a 3D Human Database based on Body and Head Shape

August 11, 2006
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval and Clustering from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used

A Tool Kit to Generate 3D Animated CAESAR Bodies

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Quandou (. Wang, Sanford P. Ressler
The Civilian American and European Surface Anthropometry Resource (CAESAR) database provides a comprehensive source for body measurement in numerous industries such as apparel, aerospace, and automobile. Generating animated CAESAR body sequences from still

WEAR: World Engineering Antropometry Resource Website

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This paper demonstrates that, for large-scale tests, the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. The forms of these distribution functions require a nonparametric approach for the analysis of the fingerprint
