This paper describes a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for use in
unstructured environments that is effective regardless of the geometric complexity of the …

In the case of non-holonomic robot navigation, path planning algorithms such as Rapidly-
exploring Random Tree (RRT) rarely provide feasible and smooth paths without the need of …

A new approach for cubic B-spline curve approximation is presented. The method produces
an approximation cubic B-spline curve tangent to a given curve at a set of selected positions …

High-precision remaining wall thickness is desirable in the mirror milling of large thin-walled
parts. However, the workpiece deformation caused by sheet forming, clamping, and self …

Extending a Ball B-spline Curve (BBSC) is a useful function in the shape modelling of
freeform tubular objects. In this paper, we aim to obtain a cubic BBSC B‾(t‾) that can …

Seamless and traceless undergarments have rendered foam sheet molding as an important
manufacturing technique for the intimate apparel industry. Seamless bra cups are made by …

Creating developable surfaces from sparse design curves finds important applications in
industrial design and modeling. Existing methods aim at finding a quasi-developable …

This paper presents a surface modeling method for interpolating orebody models based on
a set of cross-contour polylines (geological polylines interpreted from the raw geological …

Purpose Remanufacturing of worn blades with various defects normally requires processes
such as scanning, regenerating a geometrical reference model, additive manufacturing (AM) …

This paper presents BS-SLAM, a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for use in
unstructured environments that is effective regardless of whether features correspond to …
