An Emission Model For Lunar Regolith Surfaces Based On Matrix Doubling Method
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
An emission model based on Matrix Doubling Method is implemented for the calculation of emission signatures from the lunar regolith surfaces. The matrix doubling method is used to solve the radiative transfer equations ...
Collision Response For Virtual Laparoscopic Surgery
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
During laparoscopic surgery the surgeon operates inside the abdomen guided by the 2D imagery of the operating area. This image is obtained via a camera inserted through a small incision. Laparoscopic surgery, in contrast ...
