(ii) design and implement, using a suitable workflow management approach, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn "Expert System" For Stereoscopic 3D Visualization (with out the Application of Conventional Attachments to the Eyes) of Computer Acquired and Computer Generated StereopairsN. Sandya Rani, V. Vaithya NathanProblem statement: Though stereoscopic 3D visualization technology has made considerable progress, it was always associated with eye attachments, like wearing color glasses, wearing Polaroid glasses, using timed shutters. Approach: This has considerably retarded the popularity of 3D visualization technology. Though there are discrete references in the literature for developing stereoscopic 3D visualization without application of glasses, these methods involve transferring … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer-Aided Design Data Extraction Approach to Identify Product InformationMohamad Faizal Ab. Jabal, Mohd. Shafry Mohd. Rahim, Nur Zuraifah Syazrah Othman, Daut DamanProblem statement: Many approaches have been proposed in previous such as AUTOFEAT algorithm, feature recognition, Intelligent Feature Recognition Methodology (IFRM), a part recognition algorithm and graph theory-based approach in order to solve the integration issue between CAD and CAM. However, there is no direct connection from CAD database and machine database. Therefore, comparison among the approaches has been conducted because … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,170 accessesView PDFCite
