Utilization of Photosynth Point Clouds for 3D Object Reconstruction

ABSTRACT There is a growing demand in modeling amorphous shapes like statues, figurine or monuments for computer visualization and documentation. Using photographs as the data source is a most convenient recording mode on site. The equipment is easy to handle and transportation is in no case a problem as it can occur if a laser [...]

Rover technology

ABSTRACT Location-aware computing involves the automatic tailoring of information and services based on the current location of the user. We have designed and implemented Rover, a system that enables location-based services, as well as the traditional time-aware, user-aware and device-aware services. To achieve system scalability to very large client sets, Rover servers are implemented in [...]

Embedded OS for Real-Time Applications

ABSTRACT The advent of microprocessors has opened up several product opportunities that simply did not exist earlier. These intelligent processors have invaded and embedded themselves into all fields of our lives be it the kitchen (food processors, microwave ovens), the living rooms (televisions, air conditioners) or the work places (fax machines, pagers, laser printer, credit [...]

Zone Based Ant Colony Routing In MANET

ABSTRACT Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a stochastic approach for solving combinatorial optimization problems like routing in computer networks. The idea of this optimization is based on the food accumulation methodology of the ant community. Position based routing algorithms (POSANT) had some significant loopholes to find route like it never guarantees the route would be [...]
