Automated multisensor polyhedral model acquisition by Ortin, D, Montiel, JMM, Zisserman, A

“…The vision algorithms are then able to compute a very accurate registration (via a plane to plane homography) which is used to segment the model into planar facets, and to improve the estimate of the model and sensor position. …”

Study of impact properties of materials by instrumented impact testing by Zheng, Qi.

“…However, the previous investigations were limited in scope because the impact testing was non-instrumented and the specimens used contained weak interfaces made artificially either by soldering thin mild steel plates together or by laminating high-strength titanium alloys and maraging steels. …”

Design and implementation of a non-iterative division circuit by Zhang, Dawei

“…To simplify the computation, and hence hardware complexity, each strip of the curved surface is then represented by a flat plane. Linear programming is used to find the flat plane with best fit to the curved surface, i.e., minimum difference between the curved surface and the fitted plane (minimum error). …”

Electronic Properties of Fluoride and Half–fluoride Superlattices KZnF3/KAgF3 and SrTiO3/KAgF3 by Yang, Xiaoping, Su, Haibin

“…While within half–fluoride SrTiO3/KAgF3, out–of–plane electronic reconstruction results in electron doping of AgF2 plane and antiferromagnetic state instability, and the Fermi surface shape presents considerable similarity to that in HgBaCuO4. …”
