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 ... -
Inclusive and Eye-Gaze Controlled Human-Robot Interaction for Persons with Severe Speech and Motor Impairment
Most individuals perform various activities of daily living without having to con sciously think and plan about them. People talk, cook their food, move around the house, drive to their workplace and schools, play sports, ... -
Information Extraction and Mapping for Populating Ontologies in Product Lifecycle Management
Computer-based tools used to manage a product's lifecycle from the cradle to the grave need to share product information across phases. If this information is well structured, accessing, and manipulating such information ... -
An Integrated Framework for Supporting Decision Making During Early Design Stages on End-of-Life Product Disassembly
(2017-10-31)Product life cycle (PLC) is the cycle which every product goes through from introduction to eventual demise. There are several issues with the current life cycle of a product when looked from the environmental impact ... -
Integrating Product Model With Assembly Process Model Using Liaisons
(2014-04-09)This thesis addresses the problem of achieving better convergence between different phases (here design and manufacturing) of the product development cycle. The use of liaison has been proposed to better integrate the ... -
An Integrative Approach to Vision Simulations using Digital Human Models
Digital Human Models (DHM), belong to a class of human-in-the-loop simulations having primary applications in the area of virtual ergonomics, virtual prototyping, and task evaluations. These models replicate physical and ... -
Intelligent Gaze Controlled Interface for Limited Mobility Environment
Eye movement-based Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has become a significant area of research in computer science. The gaze-based computing devices allow a computer to be controlled using only eye movements, which can be ... -
Interaction Design and Distraction Detection of Drivers in Automobiles
In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ... -
An Interactive Support For Developing Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycles
(2011-08-04)Products make substantial impact on environment. Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over entire products life. Since over 80% of the product ... -
Investigating Ocular and EEG parameters for pilot’s cognitive load estimation using flight simulators
Present day aircraft systems are becoming incredibly complicated with the advent of new technologies. As per International civil aviation organization’s safety report, failure of mechanical or any physical hardware has ... -
Investigations on the Use of Mems-imu Sensors for Manual 2D and 3D Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is a safe medical imaging technique with many applications in medical diagnostics. MEMS-IMUs being small-size, low-cost, low-power devices suitable for accurate orientation estimation, the chances of ... -
Kinematic And Dynamic Modeling Of Human Walking
(2014-08-07)Walking comes naturally to us and appears to be simple. However, this is not so and it is known that walking requires high level neural control and muscle coordination. There is no single, unifying theory of bipedal walking. ... -
Low–Speed Impact Mechanics and Fragmentation of Wooden Panels: Characterization of Indian Woods
Low–speed impact (LSI) of brittle structural panels by rigid bodies causes significant damage, evident in familiar scenarios like the breaking of monolithic and laminated glass panes due to stone pelting, punching a hole ... -
Manufacture and Evaluation of Cast Aluminum Foam Heat Exchangers
(2018-08-14)Metal foams have many attractive properties such as light weight, low relative density, energy absorption capability etc. One of the main advantages of metal foam is that the foam inherits several properties of the parent ... -
