The isometric position of the anterior cruciate ligament was calculated during flexion-extension. Flexion-extension motion data of the knee joint were obtained by Fastrak, a three-dimensional motion measurement system. A subject was seated on a flat table and the tibia sensor position was measured with the femur fixed at the table. A three-dimensional knee model was constructed using a graphic tool to simulate the knee motion. Three surgical positions of the femoral tunnel were selected and the distances between the determined tibial tunnel and each femoral tunnel were calculated. The maximum elongation position was found to be in the ten thirty direction of clock.

This paper presents the appplication of computer vision for the purpose of determing the position of the unknown point in the plane. The presented contrik method is estimate the six view parameters reqresenting the relationship between the image plane coordinates and the real physical coordinates. The estimation of six parameters is indispensable for transforming the 2-dimensional camera coordinates to the 3-dimensional spatial coordinates. Then, the position of unknown point is estimated based on the estimated parameters depending on the cameras. The suitability of this control scheme is demonstrated experimentally by determining of position the unknown point in the plane.

Though SLA(Stereolithography Apparatus) is being recognized as an innovative technology, it still can not be used to fully practical applications since it lacks of dimensional accuracy compared to conventional processes. In SLA, the accuracy of cured part depends upon the set of process parmeters. In order to improve the accuracy of SLA, this paper quantitatively evaluates how largely each process parameter of SLA contributes to the part accuracy and estimates the optimal set of process parameter which minimizes the dimensional errors of the test part, "letter-H" part. For this purpose, we use ANOVA(analysis of variance) and S/N(signal-to-noise)ratio of Taguchi method.hi method.

In this paper, the effect of TiN-coating on product quality such as dimensional accuracy and surface roughness is experimentally investigated. A punch of SKD11 material in cold forging an automotive bearing shaft and its related process found in a cold forging company are selected as the test example. The effect of TiN-coating is revealed in a quantitative manner. It is to be noted that TiN-coating is effective in controlling the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness as well as in increasing tool lift.

As the new model development lead time becoming shorter and the market requirements becoming more strict, automobile manufacturer begins to utilize 3-dimensional CAD system based techniques such as DMU (Digital Mock-up), Rf (Rapid Prototyping), VE (Virtual Engineering) to meet the market trends. But, no satisfactory utilities have been developed yet, to represent emotional properties such as embossment on the surface of interior parts, touch originated from material characteristics in virtual environment, so it is inevitable to manufacture prototype parts to verify actual feeling which passengers feel in automobile. This paper suggests a methodology to enhance the human sensitivity via embodying embossment on the surface of prototype car interior trim without deterioration of dimensional accuracy using RIM (Reaction Injection Molding) and thermoforming method.

Recently, long large bridges are built for mass transportation. Movable bearing shoes are important components of the bridges because they support movement of translation and rotation of bridge. In design stage of the long large bridges, detailed analyses using the finite element method are performed to guarantee safety and reliability. For that purpose, three-dimensional modeling is carried out by I-DEAS software and finite element analysis by ANSYS software. Results of the analyses are reviewed and important design factors for movable bearing shoes are discussed.

In this paper, the algorithms which can track the two dimensional moving circular object using simple vision system are described. In order to track the moving object, the process of finding the object feature points - such as centroid of the object, corner points, area - is indispensable. With the assumption of two-dimensional circular moving object, the centroid of the circular object is computed from three points on the object circumference. Different kinds of algorithms for computing three edge points - simple x directional detection method, stick method. T-shape method are suggested. Through the computer simulation and experiments, three algorithms are compared from the viewpoint of detection accuracy and computational time efficiency.

This paper presents the development of estimation model and control method based on the new computer vision. This proposed control method is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of the rigid body in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model with six parameters is developed based on a model that generalizes known 4-axis scara robot kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. Based on the estimated parameters,depending on each camers the joint angle of robot is estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways, the estimation model test and a three-dimensional rigid body placement task. Three results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as assembly and welding.

As industrial standard data, the STL format which approximates three dimensional CAD model to triangular facets, is used for RP(Rapid Prototyping) system in recent days. Because most RP system take the only form of two dimensional line segments as an input stream inspite of its imperfectness while converting into STL format, a CAD model is converted into a standard industrial format which is composed of many triangular facets. The error verifying process is composed of four main steps, and these are 1) Remove facets with two or more vertices equal to each other. 2) Fix overlapping error such as more than three facets adjacent to anedge. 3) Fill holes in the mesh by using Delaunay triangulation method. 4) Correct the wrong direction and normal vectors. This paper is concerned with serching the mentioned errors in advance and modifying them.

This paper investigates geometric effect of landmarks on three-dimensional navigation error in landmark-based vision navigation systems. Dilution of precision is derived for landmark measurement error on the focal plane of the camera and separately expressed in position DOP and attitude DOP. Values of DOP are observed for various configurations of landmarks.
