A Conjugate Dissolution / Deposition Behavior In Thin Layer Electrodeposition, Sun Bin

Journal of Electrochemistry

During the electrodeposition of lead, the dendrite deposit segregates from the cathode due to the disturbance of hydrogen gas. The segregated deposit could move toward the anode spontaneously rather than keep stationary. The studies show that this novel phenomenon was caused by the conjugate electrodissolution and electrodeposition reactions taking place at two ends of the isolated segment of the deposit. The mechanism inducing this phenomenon is suggested.

3d Modelling With Linear Approaches Using Geometric Primitives, Mochammad Zuliansyah Apr 2005

3d Modelling With Linear Approaches Using Geometric Primitives, Mochammad Zuliansyah

Makara Journal of Technology

In this paper, we study linear approaches for 3D model acquisition from non-calibrated images. First, the intrinsic and extrinsic camera calibration is taken into consideration. In particular, we study the use of a specific calibration primitive: the parallelepiped. Parallelepipeds are frequently present in man-made environments and naturally encode the affine structure of the scene. Any information about their euclidean structure (angles or ratios of edge lengths), possibly combined with information about camera parameters is useful to obtain the euclidean reconstruction. We propose an elegant formalism to incorporate such information, in which camera parameters are dual to parallelepiped parameters, i.e. any …
