The animation of models has become an important part in different areas of everyday life. It is a demanding task for computer graphics to generate
a natural deformation of organic models. Skinning is a common method to animate models without animating each vertex individually. The skin of the model deforms automatically by manipulating individual bones of a skeleton.
This bachelor thesis deals with the most common algorithm, linear blend skinning and aims to find some optimizations regarding the visual effect
and performance. Additionally it presents certain instancing methods which are combined with the skinning methods in the application to show the advantages and disadvantages of the latter.
Im Rahmen dieser Bachelor-Arbeit wurde ein IT-gestützter Prototyp (als Excel-Applikation) entwickelt, mit dem komplexe Entscheidungsfindungen auf Grundlage der Nutzwertanalyse durchgeführt werden können. Er eignet sich zur Bewertung aller Arten von betrieblichen Anwendungssystemen, darüber hinaus ist er auch für andere unternehmerische Entscheidungen verwendbar, da die zugrunde liegende Nutzwertanalyse universell einsetzbar ist. Der Prototyp berücksichtigt und identifiziert 13 Merkmalsgruppen mit insgesamt 100 Merkmalen für Groupware. Ein zusätzlich erstelltes 20-minütiges Tutorial-Video erläutert Schritt für Schritt dessen Nutzung und Funktionalität. Sämtliche Gruppen und Merkmale wurden von einem befragten externen Experten gewichtet. Mit Hilfe des erarbeiteten umfangreichen Kataloges lassen sich künftig Groupware-Produkte effizienter und aussagekräftiger vergleichen. Dieses Tool ist eine Weiterentwicklung im Bereich der Nutzwertanalyse und hilft dabei, intuitiv und inhaltlich-vergleichend Merkmale/Gruppen zu erstellen und eine Nutzwertanalyse durchzuführen. Damit wird ein Benchmark mit vielfältigen Filteroptionen erstellt, der eine tabellarische als auch graphische Auswertung ermöglicht.
Das durchgeführte Experten-Interview und die Auswertung der Fachliteratur haben aber auch deutlich gemacht, dass die Nutzwertanalyse nicht als einziges Argument bzw. Instrument zur Entscheidungsfindung beitragen darf. Zangemeister, Systemtechniker und Fachmann im Bereich der mehrdimensionalen Bewertung und Entscheidungsfindung, merkt hierzu an: "Nutzwertmodelle dürfen nicht als Ersatz, sondern zunächst als eine wichtige Ergänzung der übrigen Modelle betrachtet werden, die dem systematischen Abbau der Entscheidungsproblematik bei der Auswahl von Projektalternativen dienen können" [Zangemeister 1976, S.7]. Alles in allem bietet die Nutzwertanalyse aufgrund der strukturierten Zergliederung des Bewertungsprozesses in Teilaspekte eine qualitativ bessere Übersicht über ein zu bewertendes Problem und stellt eine aussagestarke Zusammenstellung und Auswertung mit detaillierten Informationen über die Bewertungsobjekte auf.
In the man-machine interaction tracking and identification of individuals plays an important role. In this work, a framework for the service-robot Lisa, of the Active Vision Group, has been created to combine different methods for the detection, tracking and identification of individuals. First leg detection is performed to establish hypotheses for people using a 2D-laserscan. This assumption needs to be confirmed by an analysis of the Kinect point cloud. After successful confirmation online-boosting on RGB-data is performed for identification. The leg data will also be used with a linear Kalman filter to estimate the movement of people. Through the combination of of Kalman filter with leg detection and online-boosting people tracking should be enabled. Further receiving an interchange of persons should - by brief occlusion or faulty associate of legs - can be prevented.
Simulation of fractures
(2014)
Real-time computing often avoids the simulation of fractures due to its complexity. The field of engineering science provides methods to create these simulations to improve games and other applications. Steadily rising computer capacities allow suitable simulations on a real-time basis and make this aspect increasingly interesting. The topic and aim of this research is to simulate fractures of stiff bodies. The primary objective is the physical plausibility and performance of the application. This thesis analyses the potential of computer science to realize the simulation of fractures.
Three existing as well as one self-created were implemented and analysed. The works "Real time simulation of deformation and Fracture of stiff material" from Müller et al., "real time simulation of Brittle Fracture using Modal analysis" from Glondu et al. and "Fast and Controllable simulation of the Shattering of Brittle Objects" from Smith et al. form the basis of this thesis. The introduced methods use different computation of forces and fractures. The developed procedure uses the idea of generating secondary breaks. The approaches were implemented based on the Bullet physics-engine. The results of the work show that physically based breaks are realizable on a real-time basis.
The analysis of the physical methods demonstrates that their performance mainly depends on the constitution of the used objects. This thesis shows that the further investigation of this topic can discover new possibilities. The improvement of the realism in virtual worlds can be achieved by executing physically plausible methods.
The initial problem that motivated this thesis is the lock of possibility to represent finished theses by students of the research group BAS. Many finished thesis are only available in a printed version. Some of the students created their own websites but these are not uniform.
The first step to solve this problem is to create an overall research design. The research design of this thesis based on the construction-oriented approach of design science research by Hevner [2007]. The initial problem will be solved by creating a Web 2.0 website. Therefore the open source content management system Drupal is used. For the implementation of the target system, a set of requirements will be collected. This set of requirements will be collected by using various methods such like mock ups, interviews, collaboration scenarios and personas. To meet the collected requirements a set of additional modules will be added to the core version of Drupal. This advanced version of Drupal will be scenario and user tested. A result of this work is a deployable prototype, with which it is possible to present various theses. A further result will be user guides that describe the operation of the prototype. This thesis finishes with a conclusion and an outlook on the further use of the prototype.
Object recognition is a well-investigated area in image-based computer vision and several methods have been developed. Approaches based on Implicit Shape Models have recently become popular for recognizing objects in 2D images, which separate objects into fundamental visual object parts and spatial relationships between the individual parts. This knowledge is then used to identify unknown object instances. However, since the emergence of aσordable depth cameras like Microsoft Kinect, recognizing unknown objects in 3D point clouds has become an increasingly important task. In the context of indoor robot vision, an algorithm is developed that extends existing methods based on Implicit Shape Model approaches to the task of 3D object recognition.
Abstract 3 This paper explains the convolution reverb, a method that enables users to add realistic sounding reverberation to audio material that was recorded in neutral sounding rooms. In particular, the possibility of computing the effect on the GPU using OpenCL is discussed, to make use of the high concurrency of the problem. This paper aims at the development of a VST plugin that utilizes the GPU accelerated convolution algorithm, so that it can be used for audio software solutions.
Existing algorithms using a beaconless strategy for geographic routing in Unit-Disk Graphs offer an approach for improving non-beaconless routing algorithms for Quasi-Unit-Disk Graphs. The majority of the aforementioned non-beaconlessrnrouting algorithms for Quasi-Unit-Disk Graphs are based on collecting 2-hop neighbourhood information. As shown by the Beaconless Clustering Algorithm developed in this thesis, a beaconless strategy can be used to enhance an existing non-beaconless algorithm by reducing message overhead and power consumption. The Beaconless Clustering algorithm is based on geographic clustering and constructs a sparse graph with constant number of vertices per unit area. The thesis at hand contains a detailed description of the algorithm, a proof of correctness and a simulation for presenting reachable improvements.
Die vorliegende Arbeit hat gezeigt, dass es möglich ist an bestehenden Studien zum Thema Perceived External Reputation und der Teilnahme an der Implementierung von Dienstleitungsinnovationen anzuknüpfen. Es war sogar möglich die Abhängigkeiten der beiden Themen voneinander herauszustellen. Dies gelang unter zu Hilfenahme von weiteren Einflussfaktoren wie der erwarteten Ansehenssteigerung durch innovatives Verhalten und dem Stolz der Mitarbeiter mit dem eigenen Unternehmen in Verbindung gebracht zu werden.
The architecture of decentralized digital transaction systems with public transaction history provides no transaction monitoring to prevent unwanted transactions and to identify the transmitter and receiver of those transactions. With the introduction of a public list of unwanted addresses, it is possible to isolate these unwanted addresses by general exclusion and thereby to prevent unwanted transactions, as well as to identify the owners of unwanted addresses. The public list management can be performed by decentralized multiple instances using a trust network, so that the decentralized nature of the systems is maintained.
