This paper presents a new method for constructing quickly and automatically precision tree
models from point clouds of the trunk and branches obtained by terrestrial laser scanning …

Monitoring the structure of forest stands is of high importance for forest managers to help
them in maintaining ecosystem services. For that purpose, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles …

Fitting circles and ellipses to given points in the plane is a problem that arises in many
application areas, eg, computer graphics, coordinate meteorology, petroleum engineering …

We analyze the natural process of flipping a coin which is caught in the hand. We show that
vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started. The limiting chance of …

This paper describes and demonstrates the operation and performance of an algorithm for
segmenting connected points into a combination of representations such as lines, circular …

Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide. Low awareness and
high costs connected to glaucoma are reasons to improve methods of screening and …

The behavioral approach, put forward in the three part paper by JC Willems [Wil87], includes
a rigorous framework for deriving mathematical models, a field called system identification …

Stiction is a common problem in spring-diaphragm type valves, which are widely used in the
process industry. Although there have been many attempts to understand and detect stiction …

After a review of the circle fitting issue, we recall a relatively unknown method derived from a
classical geometric result. We propose an improvement of this technique by reweighting the …

Techniques to rapidly model local spaces, using 3D range data, can enable implementation
of:(1) real-time obstacle avoidance for improved safety,(2) advanced automated equipment …
