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

3D Part Identification Based on Local Shape Descriptors

August 19, 2008
Author(s)
Xiaolan Li, Afzal A. Godil, Asim Wagan
This paper explores 3D object recognition based on local shape descriptor. 3D object recognition is becoming an increasingly important task in modern applications such as computer vision, CAD/CAM, multimedia, molecular biology, robotics, and so on

Map Quality Assessment

August 19, 2008
Author(s)
Asim Wagan, Afzal A. Godil, Xiaolan Li
The Maps captured by robots in real environment are usually incomplete, distorted, and noisy. To evaluate the quality of these kind of maps is an important problem in the field. In this paper we present an algorithm to assess the quality of the map

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

Similarity Based Retrieval from a 3D Human Database

August 1, 2005
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval 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 in our study is

Human Identification from Body Shape

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Patrick J. Grother, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we investigate the utility of static anthropometric distances as a biometric for human identification. The 3D landmark data from the CAESAR database is used to form a simple biometric consisting of distances between fixed rigidly connected

When Worlds Collide - Interactions Between the Virtual and the Real

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Brian Antonishek, Quandou (. Wang, Afzal A. Godil, Keith A. Stouffer
This paper explores issues surrounding interaction with virtual (computer generated) objects which are interfaced to real world devices. In addition a virtual room corresponding to a real physical room has been created to allow collaborative meetings with

A VRML Integration Methodology for Manufacturing Applications

August 24, 1998
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Afzal A. Godil, Quandou (. Wang, G S. Seidman
This paper describes several methods for using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) as the visualization integration tech-nology for manufacturing simulation systems. One of our goals was to develop an integration methodology based on the use of
