This paper is concerned with a method for solving dynamic response problems of a thin plate with arbitrary shape based on the classical plate theory. The result for an arbitrarily shaped plate subjected to general transient loads is obtained by utilizing the Fourier ex-pansion collocation method

Arbitrary shaped coding is an important issue of MPEG-4. In this study, an efficient shaped coding method, called the boundary block-searching (BBS) algorithm that can enhance the coding efficiency of conventional padding schemes, is proposed. The proposed BBS algorithm assumes that boundary blocks

Arbitrary-shape wavelet packet transform (ASWPT) is presented as an adjustment of the traditional quad-tree wavelet packet transform. The group normalization (GN) and softer logic masking (SLM) techniques are introduced for image restoration with optimal visual result and high PSNR. I

Abstract — We present a locally reactive algorithm to con-struct arbitrary shapes with amorphous materials. The goal is to provide methods for robust robotic construction in unstructured, cluttered terrain, where deliberative approaches with pre-fabricated construction elements are difficult

A theory is presented for analyzing the wave induced oscillations in an arbitrary shape harbor with constant depth which is connected to the open-sea The solution is formulated as an integral equation which is then approximated by a matrix equation The final solution is obtained by equating

arbitrary shape-based clusters

be generated when the Hough Transform is used to extract arbitrary shapes under rigid transformations. In order to reduce the wrong evidence, we consider two types of constraints. First, we define constraints by considering invariant features. Secondly, we consider constraints defined via a gradient direction

. Validation of the algorithm is rigorously provided via simulation and real robot experiments. Index Terms—uniform coverage, arbitrary–shaped connected regions, mean free path, Markov chains, robot experiments. I.

Abstract: In this work, a simple and robust nu-merical method to calculate the scattered acous-tic fields from fluid bodies of arbitrary shape sub-jected to a plane wave incidence is presented. Three formulations are investigated in this work viz. the single layer formulation (SLF), the double

The problem of path planning for an automaton moving in a two-dimensional scene filled with unknown obstacles is considered. The automaton is presented as a point; obstacles can be of an arbitrary shape, with continuous boundaries and of finite size; no restriction on the size of the scene
