• openAccess   Metrics of human perception of vanishing points in perspective sketches 

      Plumed, Raquel; Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford Oliviera, Manuel M.; Skala, Václav (2013)
      This paper describes an experiment aimed at discovering how humans perceive vanishing points depicted in perspective sketches of engineering shapes. The goal is to find criteria and metrics for an algorithmic approach to ...
    • openAccess   Optimization of the Kinematic Chain of the Thumb for a Hand Prosthesis Based on the Kapandji Opposition Test 

      Pérez-González, Antonio; Llop-Harillo, Immaculada Springer (2020-04)
      The thumb plays a key role in the performance of the hand for grasp-ing and manipulating objects. In artificial hands the complex thumb’s kinematic chain (TKC) is simplified and its five degrees of freedom are reduced to ...
    • openAccess   Path Planning Based on Parametric Curves 

      Hilario Pérez, Lucia; Mora, Marta Covadonga; Montes Sánchez, Nicolás; Falco, Antonio IntechOpen (2018)
      Parametric curves are extensively used in engineering. The most commonly used parametric curves are, Bézier, B-splines, (NURBSs), and rational Bézier. Each and every one of them has special features, being the main ...
    • openAccess   Perceiving ribs in single-view wireframe sketches of polyhedral shapes 

      Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford; Plumed, Raquel; Martin, Ralph © Springer International Publishing (2012)
      As part of a strategy for creating 3D models of engineering objects from sketched input, we attempt to identify design features, geometrical structures within objects with a functional meaning. Our input is a 2D B-Rep ...
    • closedAccess   Reutilization of ceramic waste as supplementary cementitious material 

      Reig, Lucía; Pitarch-Roig, Angel-Miguel; Soriano, Lourdes; Borrachero, Mª Victoria; Monzo Balbuena, Jose Maria Springer (2023)
      La producción de cemento Portland (CP) tiene el mayor impacto ambiental entre los diferentes componentes del hormigón. Asimismo, pese a que los productos cerámicos son consumidos en todo el mundo y constituyen una fracción ...
