Automatic Generation of Scanning Positions for Sheet Metal Parts Digitization
Práce se zabývá návrhem metodiky pro automatické generování pozic optického skeneru pro digitalizaci plechových dílů na základě počítačového modelu měřeného dílu. Výroba a s tím související inspekce plechových dílů jsou velmi úzce spojeny s automobilním průmyslem. Kvůli obecným zvyšujícím se nárokům na přesnost je v sériové výrobě kladen požadavek na přesnou kontrolu vyráběných dílů. K tomu se stále častěji začínají využívat optické 3D skenery a průmyslové roboty. V případě zavedení výroby nového dílu a jeho automatické kontroly v procesu sériové výroby je nutné připravit pozice měření, ze kterých dojde k přesné a rychlé digitalizaci dílu pro následnou inspekci. Příprava těchto pozic probíhá nejčastěji ručním uvedením robota do daných pozic a jejich uložením. Navržená metodika řeší přípravu pozic automaticky. V práci je představena metodika návrhu pozic měření, jejich simulace na skutečnou viditelnost části dílu pomocí osvětlovacího modelu a simulace vygenerovaných pozic na dostupnost robota. Metodika byla zpracována jako plugin pro software Rhinoceros. Na základě experimentálního ověření bylo zjištěno, že dojde ke značné časové úspoře v přípravě pozic měření v porovnání s jejich ruční přípravou.This thesis deals with the development of a new methodology for automatic generation of scanning positions based on a computer model of the part for digitization of sheet metal parts. Manufacture and related inspection of sheet metal parts are closely connected to automotive industry. Based on increasing general requirements on accuracy, there is also a requirement for accurate inspection of manufactured parts in serial-line production. Optical 3D scanners and industrial robots are used more often for that purpose. Measuring positions for accurate and fast digitization of a part need to be prepared as the manufacturing of the new part begins. Planning of such positions is done manually by positioning of the industrial robot and saving the positions. The planning of positions proposed by this methodology is done automatically. A methodology of positions planning, their simulation for true visibility of the part elements using reflectance model and a simulation of the positions for robot reachability is presented in this thesis. The entire methodology is implemented as a plug-in for the Rhinoceros software. High reduction of time in positions planning compared to the manual approach was observed in the performed experiments.
Simplified Algorithmic Metatheorems Beyond MSO: Treewidth and Neighborhood Diversity
This paper settles the computational complexity of model checking of several
extensions of the monadic second order (MSO) logic on two classes of graphs:
graphs of bounded treewidth and graphs of bounded neighborhood diversity.
A classical theorem of Courcelle states that any graph property definable in
MSO is decidable in linear time on graphs of bounded treewidth. Algorithmic
metatheorems like Courcelle's serve to generalize known positive results on
various graph classes. We explore and extend three previously studied MSO
extensions: global and local cardinality constraints (CardMSO and MSO-LCC) and
optimizing the fair objective function (fairMSO).
First, we show how these extensions of MSO relate to each other in their
expressive power. Furthermore, we highlight a certain "linearity" of some of
the newly introduced extensions which turns out to play an important role.
Second, we provide parameterized algorithm for the aforementioned structural
parameters. On the side of neighborhood diversity, we show that combining the
linear variants of local and global cardinality constraints is possible while
keeping the linear (FPT) runtime but removing linearity of either makes this
impossible. Moreover, we provide a polynomial time (XP) algorithm for the most
powerful of studied extensions, i.e. the combination of global and local
constraints. Furthermore, we show a polynomial time (XP) algorithm on graphs of
bounded treewidth for the same extension. In addition, we propose a general
procedure of deriving XP algorithms on graphs on bounded treewidth via
formulation as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). This shows an alternate
approach as compared to standard dynamic programming formulations
Comparison of Sublimation 3D Scanning Sprays in Terms of Their Effect on the Resulting 3D Scan, Thickness, and Sublimation Time
This study compared eight sublimation scanning sprays in terms of their effect on 3D scanning results, coating thickness, and sublimation time. The work used an automated spraying system to ensure the same deposition conditions for all tested materials. All experiments were performed under the same environmental conditions to exclude the influence of the ambient environment on the coatings. All tested scanning sprays created coatings with thicknesses in the order of tens of micrometers that were detectable by the 3D scanner Atos III Triple Scan. The coatings must be applied carefully when accurate measurements are required. All used materials enabled the capture of the highly reflective surface of the Si-wafer. However, the differences between some sprays were significant. Sublimation time measurements showed that all coatings disappeared from the Si-wafer surface completely. Nevertheless, all coatings left visible traces on the mirror-like surface. They were easily wiped off with a cloth
Mechanics of screw joints solved as beams placed in a tangential elastic foundation
This article deals with a new original analytical solution of deformation, force and stress states in wood screw joints up to the limit values of pulling out/breaking the screw. The screws are under tension. The wood-to-screw interaction is effectively simplified by introducing several physical model variants using a tangential elastic non-linear foundation. The experimental verification of the proposed models using pull-out tests (i.e., pulling out screws from dry spruce wood in laboratory conditions) confirms the correctness of the proposed models of the elastic linear/non-linear foundation. The validity of the model is also analytically and experimentally verified in the biomechanical model of pulling out screws from the femur of a bovine/human cadaver, which confirms and expands the validity of newly designed screw joint models outside the timber structure area.Web of Science1112art. no. 561
<scp>ReSurveyEurope</scp>: A database of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe
AbstractAimsWe introduce ReSurveyEurope — a new data source of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe, compiled by a collaborative network of vegetation scientists. We describe the scope of this initiative, provide an overview of currently available data, governance, data contribution rules, and accessibility. In addition, we outline further steps, including potential research questions.ResultsReSurveyEurope includes resurveyed vegetation plots from all habitats. Version 1.0 of ReSurveyEurope contains 283,135 observations (i.e., individual surveys of each plot) from 79,190 plots sampled in 449 independent resurvey projects. Of these, 62,139 (78%) are permanent plots, that is, marked in situ, or located with GPS, which allow for high spatial accuracy in resurvey. The remaining 17,051 (22%) plots are from studies in which plots from the initial survey could not be exactly relocated. Four data sets, which together account for 28,470 (36%) plots, provide only presence/absence information on plant species, while the remaining 50,720 (64%) plots contain abundance information (e.g., percentage cover or cover–abundance classes such as variants of the Braun‐Blanquet scale). The oldest plots were sampled in 1911 in the Swiss Alps, while most plots were sampled between 1950 and 2020.ConclusionsReSurveyEurope is a new resource to address a wide range of research questions on fine‐scale changes in European vegetation. The initiative is devoted to an inclusive and transparent governance and data usage approach, based on slightly adapted rules of the well‐established European Vegetation Archive (EVA). ReSurveyEurope data are ready for use, and proposals for analyses of the data set can be submitted at any time to the coordinators. Still, further data contributions are highly welcome.</jats:sec
