The main challenges of collision detection and handling in muscle modelling are demonstrated. Then, a collision handling technique is tested, exploiting the issue of muscle penetrating the bone in some circumstances, mainly when the movement is too rapid or the displacement of the ...

Self-adaptation equips a software system with a feedback loop that automates tasks that otherwise need to be performed by operators. Such feedback loops have found their way to a variety of practical applications, one typical example is an elastic cloud. Yet, the state of the&...

Systems implementing safety functions are becoming more complex, which is also related to their communication and perception capabilities in an environment. Such systems, primarily seen in mobility, become more susceptible to failures in complex decision-making situations that are difficult to un...

This paper presents a novel method for grid detection in historical maps. The approach is based on Hough transform accompanied with a sophisticated post-processing. They are applied to detect the grid that consists of graticule lines. It works without any training and does not ...

Spiking neural networks are a promising concept not only in terms of better simulation of biological neural networks but also in terms of overcoming the current disadvantages of artificial neural networks, such as high energy consumption or slow response time. The paper focuses on&...

This contribution describes a new approach to formulation of ODE and PDE critical points using implicit formulation as t-variant scalar function using the Taylor expansion. A general condition for the critical points is derived and specified for t invariant case. It is expected, th...

This contribution presents a new approach to the 3D geometric model representation based on vertices and edges only, i.e. by the wire-frame data model, where no facet representation is needed, if the surface is formed by a triangular mesh.

Bicubic parametric plates are essential for many geometric applications, especially for CAD/CAM systems used in the automotive industry, mechanical and civil engineering applications. Usually the Hermite, B´ezier, Coons or NURBS plates are used. There is always a problem to explain how ...

The quality of life of diabetic patients can be enhanced by devising a personalized control algorithm, integrated within an artificial pancreas, capable of dosing the insulin. A key action in the building of this artificial device is to conceive an efficient algorithm for forecasti...

Within this paper a Grammatical Evolution algorithm is exploited to induce personalized and interpretable glucose forecasting models for diabetic patients based on the historical measurements of the glucose, the carbohydrates, and the injected insulin. A real-world data set of Type 1 diabeti...

The modular addition is used as a non-linear operation in ARX ciphers because it achieves the requirement of introducing non-linearity in a cryptographic primitive while only taking one clock cycle to execute on most modern architectures. This makes ARX ciphers especially fast in s...

In this paper, we introduce a new Czech subjectivity dataset of 10k manually annotated subjective and objective sentences from movie reviews and descriptions. Our prime motivation is to provide a reliable dataset that can be used with the existing English dataset as a benchmark...

The number of broadly available wearable devices like smart watches or fitness bands keeps growing, as well as their performance and number of provided features related to user’s health. This was the reason for our decision to bring the SmartCGMS (Smart Continuous Glucose Monitorin...

Triangle mesh compression is an established area, however, some of its special cases are yet to be investigated. This paper deals with lossy geometry compression of manifold triangle meshes based on the EdgeBreaker algorithm using a reference shape known to both the encoder and...

The paper deals with detection, classification and recognition of toponyms in hand-drawn historical cadastral maps. Toponyms are local names of towns, villages and landscape features such as rivers, forests etc. The detected and recognized toponyms are utilized as keywords in an information&...

Finding the smallest enclosing circle of the given points in E2 is a seemingly simple problem. However, already proposed algorithms have high memory requirements or require special solutions due to the great recursion depth or high computational complexity unacceptable for large data se...

Knowledge of muscle attachments on bones is essential for musculoskeletal modelling. A muscle attachment is often represented by points (in 3D) obtained by a manual digitisation system during dissection. Although this representation suffices for many purposes, sophisticated musculoskeletal models comm...

There are many existing methods for road traffic network division based on various approaches. However, there is a lack of surveys mapping these methods. For this reason, this paper is a survey of existing methods for road traffic network division published in last two decades...

The current model of neurorehabilitation provides comprehensive care (neurologist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, speech therapist) in the acute phase of acquired brain injuries during hospitalization in some countries. However, follow-up care is insufficient or completely absent, especially&...
