Semirelativistic 1s−2s1s-2s excitation of atomic hydrogen by electron impact

In the framework of the first Born approximation, we present a semirelativistic theoretical study of the inelastic excitation ($1s_{1/2}\longrightarrow 2s_{1/2}$) of hydrogen atom by electronic impact. The incident and scattered electrons are described by a free Dirac spinor and the hydrogen atom target is described by the Darwin wave function. Relativistic and spin effects are examined in the relativistic regime. A detailed study has been devoted to the nonrelativistic regime as well as the moderate relativistic regime. Some aspects of this dependence as well as the dynamic behavior of the DCS in the relativistic regime have been addressed.Comment: one latex file and 6 figure

Point cloud segmentation using hierarchical tree for architectural models

Recent developments in the 3D scanning technologies have made the generation of highly accurate 3D point clouds relatively easy but the segmentation of these point clouds remains a challenging area. A number of techniques have set precedent of either planar or primitive based segmentation in literature. In this work, we present a novel and an effective primitive based point cloud segmentation algorithm. The primary focus, i.e. the main technical contribution of our method is a hierarchical tree which iteratively divides the point cloud into segments. This tree uses an exclusive energy function and a 3D convolutional neural network, HollowNets to classify the segments. We test the efficacy of our proposed approach using both real and synthetic data obtaining an accuracy greater than 90% for domes and minarets.Comment: 9 pages. 10 figures.
