This paper suggests user's interface with computer by means of detecting gaze under HMD, head mounted display, environment. System is derived as follows; firstly, calibrate a camera in HMD, which determines geometrical relationship between monitor and captured image. Second, detect the center of pupil using algorithm of the center of mass and represent a gazing position on the computer screen. If user blinks or stares at a certain position for a while, message is sent to computer. Experimental results show the center of mass is robust against glint effects, and detecting error was 7.1%. and 4.85% in vertical and horizontal direction, respectively. To adjust detailed movement of a mouse takes 0.8 sec more. The 98% of blinking is detected successfully and 94% of clicking detection is resulted.

This paper deals with the problem of generating a uniform tetrahedral mesh which fills a 3-D space with the tetrahedra which are close to the equilateral tetrahedra as possible. This problem is particularly interesting in finite element modeling where a fat triangulation minimizes the error of an analysis. Fat triangulation is defined as a scheme for generating an equilateral triangulation as possible in a given dimension. In finite element modeling, there are many algorithms for generating a mesh in 2-D and 3-D. One of the difficulties in generating a mesh in 3-D is that a 3-D object can not be filled with uniform equilateral tetrahedra only regardless of the shape of the boundary. Fat triangulation in 3-D has been proved to be the one which fills a 3-D space with the tetrahedra which are close to the equilateral as possible. Topological and geometrical properties of the fat triangulation and its application to meshing algorithm are investigated.

In this paper, a new technique and theory are proposed which correct the orientation (inclination of a vertical axis) of a cylinder in vertical-micro positioning device. An algorithm for determining the orientation of the cylinder with a pair of displacement sensor units is derived and two types of the correction methods are described. To assess the performance and efficiency of the developed correction technique, the compensation errors originated from the correction algorithm and the machined characteristics of cylinder surface are evaluated from the geometrical considerations and the statistical techniques. Based upon the evaluation results, the maximum compensation error is estimated for the orientation of cylinder and the optimum correction technique is derived.

This paper explores the geometrical non-linear behavior of the simply supported tapered beams subject to the trapezoidal distributed load and end moments. In order to apply the Bernoulli -Euler beam theory to this tapered beam, the bending moment equation on any point of the elastical is obtained by the redistribution of trapezoidal distributed load. On the basis of the bending moment equation and the BErnoulli-Euler beam theory, the differential equations governging the elastical of such beams are derived and solved numerically by using the Runge-Jutta method and the trial and error method. The three kinds of tapered beams (i.e. width, depth and square tapers) are analyzed in this study. The numerical results of non-linear behavior obtained in this study from the simply supported tapered beams are appeared to be quite well according to the results from the reference . As the numerical results, the elastica, the stress resultants and the load-displacement curves are given in the figures.

This paper discusses a mechanical model for the vulnerability assessment of old masonry building aggregates that takes into account the uncertainties inherent to the building parameters, to the seismic demand and to the model error. The structural capacity is represented as an analytical function of a selected number of geometrical and mechanical parameters. Applying a suitable procedure for the uncertainty propagation, the statistical moments of the capacity curve are obtained as a function of the statistical moments of the input parameters, showing the role of each one in the overall capacity definition. The seismic demand is represented by response spectra; vulnerability analysis is carried out with respect to a certain number of random limit states. Fragility curves are derived taking into account the uncertainties of each quantity involved.

We intend to increase in eficiency of the topographic monitoring of seabed or riverbed by combinedwith DGPS, RTK GPS and echo sounder. For this study, we defined the error corection of the echo sounder with the experiment of water tank, which is considered the characteristic of estuary riverbedand then we developed the s/w for 3-dimensional monitoring of estuary riverbed and aplied the s/wto field test and improved the various problems. On analyzing topography of estuary riverbed by combinedby the movement of survey vessel to the end of the transducer was eliminated by geometrical rearangementand we defined the corection formula, . The sounding error about the echo sounder and characteristic of estuary riverbed was found by understanding the relation of average diameter and residual error and we defined corection formula, Y=-0.0474*ln(X) -0.045 by the regression analysis. and then we verified applicability of corection formula. This study that by Visual Basic must be useful applied in the topographic analysis of the estuary riverbed.

We developed a sterotactic radiosurgery system which is comprised of 1) collimators with small circular aperture, 2) an angiographic target localizer, 3) a target localizer used for alignment of planned target position with isocenter of treatment machine, and 4) a treatment planning system named LinaPel. In this study, we performed a series of treatment simulations to specify and analyze geometrical errors contained our in-house radiosurgery system. As results, 1) using Geometrical Phantom(Radionics,USA), the accuracy of target localization by LinaPel was determined as Avg. =(equation omitted) the accuracy of mechanical isocenter was found out to be 0.6 $\pm$ 0.2 mm, 3) the positional difference of target localization which determined by CT and angiography was 0.8 mm, and their size difference was 1.5 mm, and 4) the positional error during whole treatment was found out to be 0.9 $\pm$ 0.3 mm. With these results, we concluded that our in-house radiosurgery system can be used clinically. However, these range of accuracies need periodical quality assurance strongly.

How to recover from the multiple 2D images into 3D object has been widely studied in the field of computer vision. In order to improve the accuracy of the recovered 3D shape, it is more important that noise must be minimized and the number of image frames must be guaranteed. However, potential noise is implied when tracking feature points. And the number of image frames which is consisted of an observation matrix usually decrease because of tracking failure, occlusions, or low image resolution, and so on. Therefore, it is obviously essential that the number of image frames must be secured by recovering the missing feature points under noise. Thus, we propose the analytic approach which can control directly the error distance and orientation of missing feature point by the geometrical properties under noise distribution. The superiority of proposed method is demonstrated through experimental results for synthetic and real object.

I.objective The composition method with acquiring 2${\sim}$5 image not only lack perfection in compensating the geometrical distortion but could also cause inaccurate connection problem of compensating the geometrical distortion but could also cause inaccurate connection problem of continuing bone structure due to the enlargement ratio difference of ruller and bone, density difference in image composition process. This paper studies those mentioned problems through the experiments. II. Object and method Experiment 1 After attaching 3 step wedge(Pb) on detector and 2 ruller on upper, lower part of the step wedge, we have exposed them to create density difference between 1st image and 2nd image, then examined if there were any errors. Experiment 2 1st 100cm ruller was attached on the center of detector, and by escalating the distance between 2nd 100cm ruller and detector 5cm, 10cm, 15cm respectively, we investigated if there any errors caused by enlargement ratio. Experiment 3 The ruller was placed on detector, a joint photographing was performed through spot photographing after fully operating the electric field photographing to include hip joint ${\sim}$ ankle joint part and we have compared the values from two methods. III. Result : A horizontal axis error was caused when photopraphing is not poerated in equal density since the image shifted horizontally in accordance with the difference of Pb step wedge 1 due to the density difference, as the result of Epperiment 1.

This paper investigates the effect of blade deformation, caused by manufacturing inaccuracies, on the performance of a 2-stage axial steam turbine. A high fidelity 3D coordinate Measurement Machine has been employed to obtain the exact geometrical model of the blades. A Streamline Curvature solver was used to predict the overall performance of the turbine. During the manufacturing process of the casts and of the blades themselves, several types of errors can occur which lead to a different geometry from that envisaged by the designer. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of those errors on the performance of a 2-stage experimental axial steam turbine. A high fidelity measurement of the actual geometry of both stator and rotor blades has been carried out, using a 3D Coordinate Measurement Machine. The cross sections of the blades obtained by the measurement were compared with those produced by the design process to evaluate the change in blade inlet/exit angles. In addition, the geometrical deviations from the initial design have been subjected to a statistical study in order to locate the nature of the error. The actual(measured) model has been used as input into a Streamline Curvature solver to evaluate its performance. Finally, a comparison with the performance plots of the original geometry has been carried out. A measurable change of efficiency as well as in the total power delivered by the turbine was found. This suggests that the accumulated error caused during the manufacturing procedure plays a significant role in the overall performance of the machine by making it less efficient by more than 1%. Reverse engineering techniques are proposed to predict and alleviate these errors leading thereby to a final design of each stage with improved performance.
