HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…Given a vertex v, HLO first finds all pairs of its neighboring vertices and divides each pair into two subsets (called half windows); then computes the uniform Laplacians of all such subsets and subsequently projects the computed Laplacians to the full-window uniform Laplacian to alleviate flipping and degeneration. The half window with least regularization energy is then chosen for v. …”

Suppressing motion-induced phase error by using equal-step phase-shifting algorithms in fringe projection profilometry by Wu, Gaoxu, Yang, Tian, Liu, Fei, Qian, Kemao

“…These equal-step algorithms are studied through comprehensive simulations and experiments, showing that, (i) the equal-step algorithms are all effective in greatly suppressing the motion-induced errors in both ideal and noisy situations; and (ii) among the three algorithms, the Stoilov algorithm is more robust to handle the object motion and the harmonics simultaneously, while the GEPS requires a least number of frames. This study will urge the use of the equal-step algorithms for phase extraction in dynamic profilometry for immediate motion-error suppression by merely implementing a single phase-calculation equation.…”

Hierarchical approach to study water cluster in first-principles calculations by Nguyen, Quoc Chinh

“…In addition, the effects of zero-point energy correction on the relative stabilities, thermodynamic properties and vibrational spectra of each system were discussed throughout the studies. Last but not least, we reported the details on the development of the potential models for protonated hydrogen fluoride and deprotonated water clusters in order to extend the current work to other molecular systems and also to improve the efficiency of the hierarchical approach for our future studies.…”
