Robust auto calibration technique for stereo camera

2017

Calibration of the internal and external parameters of a stereo vision camera is a well-known research problem in the computer vision. Usually, to get accurate 3D results the camera should be manually calibrate accurately as well. This paper proposes a robust approach to Auto Calibration stereo camera Without intervention of the user. There are several methods and techniques of calibration that have been proven, in this work we exploiting the geometric constraint, namely, the epipolar geometry. We specifically focuses to use 7 techniques for Features Extraction (SURF, BRISK, FAST, FREAK, MinEigen, MSERF, SIFT), however tries to establish the correspondences between points extracted in stere…

Stochastic seismic analysis of offshore towers

1984

After a brief review of the main problems and the most common analysis methods for offshore structures, a method of analysis for offshore towers submerged in water and subjected to strong earthquake motions is proposed. Nonlinear drag effects as well as random non-stationary seismic excitations are considered by means of a linearization technique based on a particular step-by-step procedure. Using a discrete lumped-mass model, the standard deviations of nodal displacements and velocities are evaluated. The probability of not exceeding a defined threshold of nodal displacements is also computed.

A PROGRAM FOR THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING OF SOLAR GAIN OF A PARALLELEPIPED VOLUME CONSIDERING THE SHADOWS CAST ON IT BY ANY SYSTEM OF SURROUNDING PARALL…

1985

A program is given, that computes solar gain on a parallelepiped volume taking in to consideration the shadows cast by any system of surrounding parallelepiped. It contains an algorithm for the quick discarding of non shadowing volumes, for the construction of the union polygon, without repetition of overlapping shadows, and for the intersection polygon of formerly found union polygon with the shadowed faces.

Optimal valves regulation for calibration of pipe networks models

1998

The calibration of a pipe network model is faced by means of a two-steps iterative procedure. The first step of the procedure is the estimation of the parameters in the network simulation model, obtained from a first set of water head measures. The second step of the procedure is the change of the resistances provided by the valves in the network and the acquisition of a new set of measures. The inverse problem is then solved again and the procedure is repeated, until the set of computed parameters converge to stable values. The new resistances are chosen to minimize the sum of the variation coefficients, computed from the Fisher information matrix. The effect of different correlation funct…

Dual-Diameter Laterals in Center-Pivot Irrigation System

2022

Design strategies to enhance modern irrigation practices, reduce energy consumption, and improve water use efficiency and crop yields are fundamental for sustainability. Concerning Center-Pivot Irrigation Systems, different design procedures aimed at optimizing water use efficiency have been proposed. Recently, following a gradually decreasing sprinkler spacing along the pivot lateral with constant diameter and sprinkler flow rate, a new design method providing a uniform water application rate has been introduced. However, no suggestions were given to design multiple-diameter laterals characterized by different values of the inside pipe diameter. In this paper, first the previous design pro…

Functionalized Dialdehydes as Promising Scaffolds for Access to Heterocycles and β-Amino Acids: Synthesis of Fluorinated Piperidine and Azepane Deriv…

2017

Functionalized dialdehydes are considered important substrates that can be transformed into various substituted heterocyclic, alicyclic, and polysubstituted compounds. Here, we report a robust stereocontrolled procedure for the synthesis of novel functionalized trifluoromethyl-containing piperidine and azepane derivatives, based on oxidative ring cleavage of the C=C bond of diversely substituted cycloalkenes, followed by reductive ring closure of the diformyl intermediates in the presence of fluorine-containing amines.

Diversity-Oriented Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Some Piperidine- and Azepane-Based Fluorine-Containing β-Amino Acid Derivatives

2020

AbstractStructural diversity-oriented synthesis of some azaheterocyclic β-amino acid derivatives has been accomplished by selective functionalization of readily available cyclodienes. The stereocontrolled synthetic concept was based on the oxidative ring cleavage of unsaturated cyclic β-amino acids derived from cycloalkadiene, followed by ring closing with double reductive amination, which furnished some conformationally restricted β-amino acid derivatives with a piperidine or azepane core.

A combined experimental and theoretical study of the polar [3+2] cycloaddition of electrophilically activated carbonyl ylides with aldehydes and imin…

2009

International audience; Numerous 2,5-diaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,4-dicarbonitriles and 2,4-diphenyl-1,3-oxazolidine-5,5- dicarbonitriles have been synthesized by [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides, and aldehydes or imines. In contrast to the use of aldehydes (3,4,5- trimethoxybenzaldehyde, piperonal, 1-naphthaldehyde, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, furan-2- carboxaldehyde and thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde), the reactions performed with imines (N- (phenylmethylene)methanamine, N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylene)propylamine, N-(1,3-benzodioxol- 5-ylmethylene)butylamine and N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylene)benzylamine) proceed diastereoselectively. The effect of micr…
