During June 1995 through September 1998, APL conducted a series of Warfare Analysis Laboratory Exercises (WALEXs) in support of the Naval Air Systems Command. The goal of these exercises was to examine a concept then known as the Air-Directed Surfac
The purpose of this book is to provide insight into computational techniques commonly used in surface and roundness metrology. It is intended to serve as a reference for engineers who routinely use a variety of metrology tools and are interested in
It became clear in the early days of fusion research that the effects of the containment vessel (erosion of "impurities") degrade the overall fusion plasma performance. Progress in controlled nuclear fusion research over the last decade has led to m
Gaussian curvature is an isometric invariant of a surface. An isometric invariant is a surface property that depends only on the E, F, G functions(and possibly their derivatives).
In this paper we present a method for fast surface reconstruction from large noisy datasets. Given an unorganized 3D point cloud, our algorithm recreates the underlying surface’s geometrical properties using data resampling and a robust triangulatio
