Gaze Estimation in the Wild - Models, Datasets and Usability
Human eye gaze estimation research has numerous applications in diverse fields from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to aviation. Non-intrusive video oculography based methods are classified into two categories based on ... -
A Generalised Modelling of Piezoelectric Composite Shells and Plates using Variational Asymptotic Method
In several fields of engineering, researchers are actively pursuing the possibility to use smart materials such as piezoelectric composites in order to make the structure smart. Piezoelectric materials have the capability ... -
Generalized Circular and Elliptical Honeycomb Structures/Bundled Tubes : Effective Transverse Elastic Moduli
(2018-01-01)Omnipresence of heterogeneity is conspicuous in all creations of nature. Heterogeneity manifests itself in many forms at different scales, both in time and space. Engineering domain being an exotic fusion of human creativity ... -
Generation, Characterization and Control of Nanoscale Surface Roughness
(2018-01-11)Surface roughness exists at many length scales-from atomic dimensions to meters. At sub-micron scale, the distribution of roughness is largely dependent on the process that generates the surface through the mechanisms of ... -
Genetic Programming Based Multicategory Pattern Classification
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-22)Nature has created complex biological structures that exhibit intelligent behaviour through an evolutionary process. Thus, intelligence and evolution are intimately connected. This has inspired evolutionary computation ... -
A geochemical and Ca, Sr, Nd isotopic study of the mantle: case studies of Kimberlites, Ophiolites, Abyssal Peridotites, and Layered Igneous Complexes
The Earth’s mantle constitutes 67% of its mass and despite mantle convection, it is geochemically and isotopically heterogeneous as evident from the compositions of mantle derived basaltic melts. It is a dynamic system ... -
Geochemical and isotopic study of the Lonar and Dhala impact craters and jarosites from Kutch, India as analogues to understand planetary surface processes
Impact cratering and aqueous alteration are two important processes that have modified the Earth’s surface over time and better understanding of these processes on Earth allow us to understand the surface evolution of other ... -
A geochemical and Nd-Sr-Ca isotopic study of silicate weathering, crustal recycling and petrogenesis of carbonatites
Weathering of silicate rocks releases cations and anions which are transported to the oceans by rivers where calcium carbonate precipitates from the seawater. This process results in the net consumption of atmospheric ... -
A Geochemical and Sr, Ca, Mg, Li isotopic study of the Godavari River draining the Deccan basalts
Chemical weathering of continental silicate rocks releases cations and anions which are eventually precipitated as carbonates on the ocean floor. This entire process transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the oceans leading ... -
A geochemical, Nd-Sr, and stable Ca isotopic study of siliciclastic and chemical sedimentary rocks, volcanic tuffs, and authigenic glauconites from Proterozoic sedimentary basins of India
The Archean-Proterozoic transition is marked by globally synchronous changes in tectonothermal and climatic patterns along with development of widespread epicontinental seas, with extensive shelf-sedimentation. The Indian ... -
Geoelectrical Characterization for Relating Electrical Resistivity and Geotechnical Properties of Soils
This thesis proposes electrical resistivity measurement as a potential method to characterize different types of geomaterials under different environmental conditions. Electrical resistivity method is a promising non-destructive ... -
Geometric And Material Stability Criteria For Material Models In Hyperelasticity
(2013-07-17)In the literature, there are various material models proposed so as to model the constitutive behavior of hyperelastic materials for example, St. Venant-Kirchho_ model, Mooney-Rivlin model etc. The stability of such material ... -
A Geometric Approach for Discrete and Statistical Reach Analysis for a DHM with Mutable Supports
(2017-12-05)Conventional ergonomics analysis involves building physical mockups and conducting simulated operations, such that the constraints experienced by the human subjects can be directly observed. The limitations of this approach ... -
A Geometric Framework For Vision Modeling In Digital Human Models Using 3D Tessellated Head Scans
(2011-08-25)The present work deals with the development of a computational geometric framework for vision modeling for performing visibility and legibility analyses in Digital Human Modeling (DHM) using the field-of-view (FoV), estimated ... -
Geometric Reasoning with Mesh-based Shape Representation in Product Development
(2017-10-09)Triangle meshes have become an increasingly popular shape representation. Given the ease of standardization it allows and the proliferation of devices (scanners, range images ) that capture and output shape information as ... -
Geotechnical Behaviour Of Soil Containing Mixed Layered Illite-Smectite Contaminated With Caustic Alkali
(2008-01-29)The aim of the thesis has been to evaluate and understand the effect of caustic alkali solution of varying composition on the behaviour of expansive soil containing mixed layered minerals. Mixed layered minerals are formed ...
