TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary and centroid of a part are obtained from the optimal ternary data using the variance of the gray-level of the image and the separation degree of a histogram.
Abstract: An image processor which can accurately and promptly obtain information about a ventricle of a living body, such as the boundary diagram, the volume, the centroid movement view and a three-dimensional view. An X-ray projection of a part to be diagnosed is quantized. The boundary and centroid of the part are obtained from the optimal ternary data using the variance of the gray-level of the image and the separation degree of a histogram. The volume and three-dimensional view of the part are obtained from this data using the gray-level method.

TL;DR: A more accurate range noise model for 3D sensors is utilized to derive from scratch the expressions for the optimum plane fitting a set of noisy points and for the combined covariance matrix of the plane’s parameters, viz. its normal and its distance to the origin.
Abstract: We utilize a more accurate range noise model for 3D sensors to derive from scratch the expressions for the optimum plane fitting a set of noisy points and for the combined covariance matrix of the plane’s parameters, viz. its normal and its distance to the origin. The range error model used by us is a quadratic function of the true range and also the incidence angle. Closed-form expressions for the Cramer–Rao uncertainty bound are derived and utilized for analyzing four methods of covariance computation: exact maximum likelihood, renormalization, approximate least-squares, and eigenvector perturbation. The effect of the simplifying assumptions inherent in these methods are compared with respect to accuracy, speed, and ease of interpretation of terms. The approximate least-squares covariance matrix is shown to possess a number of desirable properties, e.g., the optimal solution forms its null-space and its components are functions of easily understood terms like the planar-patch’s weighted centroid and scatter. It is also fast to compute and accurate enough in practice. Its experimental application to real-time range-image registration and plane fusion is shown by using a commercially available 3D range sensor.

TL;DR: In this article, the centroid of weights is proposed as an alternative means of weighting hierarchical elements, which can be used in selection among alternatives directly, in concordance analysis, or in multiple objective linear programming.

TL;DR: This paper studies the formation tracking problem for multi-agent systems, for which a distributed estimator–controller scheme is designed relying only on the agents’ local coordinate systems such that the centroid of the controlled formation tracks a given trajectory.
