Determining the position and orientation of a workpiece relative to a manufacturing device is a prerequisite for machining path planning. If the workpiece is freeform and if it co...
A formal treatment of typed feature structures (TFSs) is developed to augment TFSs, so that negative descriptions of them can be treated. Negative descriptions of TFSs can make li...
Data mining methods can be used for discovering interesting patterns in manufacturing databases. These patterns can be used to improve manufacturing processes. However, data accum...
This paper proposes to use three-dimensional information derived from the graph of an image function for texture description. The graph of an image function is a rumpled surface ap...
In this paper, an efficient and computationally fast method for segmenting text and graphics part of document images based on textural cues is presented. We assume that the graphic...
