Construction of basketball shoe sole design by using bezier curves / Noorehan Awang ... [et al.]
No full textComputer-aided geometric design (CAGD) plays an important role in the design world. In designing curves and surtaces, CAGD deals with mathematical expressions to regulate shapes by Bizzarri & Lavicka (2011). CAGD has several types of polynomial curves such as Bezier, Said-Ball, Wang-Ball, and DP curves. There are some common and specific properties in these curves. All of them are defined in terms of the total sum of their mixing and control points functions. Each of the polynomials has its own speciality as stated by Bizzarri & Lavicka (2011). This study chooses to use the Bezier curve to construct the shape of a basketball shoe sole. Bezier curve is an important tool used in vector graphics to model smooth curves that can be scaled indefinitely. The principle of continuity is then extended to an aim of smoothness or visually nice curves and surfaces as claimed by (Yahaya, 2015). Shoe is footwear that every human uses since it gives protection to their feet. There are a variety of types of shoes to be used by humans. The design of the shoe sole is very important and people need to consider it so they can use it for a long time. The focus of this study is on sport shoes which are basketball shoes that are usually used by the basketball players. This study wants to differentiate the degree evaluation from lower degree to higher degree for Bezier curve of basketball shoe pattern and to determine the computation times of the outsole of the shoe. Figure 1(a) shows the original figure of the basketball shoe sole while the second figure shows the drawing of the basketball shoe sole on the graph paper (Figure 1(b))
Reconstruction of Arabic calligraphy by using Wang-Ball curves / Noorehan Awang ... [et al.]
No full textThe Wang-Ball curve conveniently can be used in applications in Computer-aided design (CAD) domain such as image extraction, protile approximation, fairing, smoothing and modelization. Rational Wang-ball which is derived from non-rational Wang-ball curves, where it has been proven that a rational Wang-ball curve is a rational Bezier curve of the same degree and vice versa. A recursive algorithm for plotting rational Bezier and Wang-ball is obtained by the de Casteljau and Wang algorithm using homogeneous coordinates and an efficient algorithm for evaluating a rational Wang-ball curve is attained and has a linear time complexity (Dejdumrong et al., 2001). Arabic calligraphy was initially an instrument for correspondence, yet with time, it started to be utilized in engineering, adomment and other structure. It is one of the art phenomena in the history of the revitalization of traditional art in the contemporary world. The outline of the calligraphy, mostly Arabic outline, was usually in quadratic and cubic degree. Therefore, the reconstruction of arabic font for degrees more than third degree for Wang-Ball curve was taken into consideration
Redesign arabic calligraphy outline by using Bezier, Wang-Ball and Said-Ball curves / Noorehan Awang, Fatin Najihah Ghazali and Siti Sarah Zainuddin
No full textArabic calligraphy was one of the art phenomena. This research suggests using Bezier curves, Wang Ball curves, and Said-Ball curves to improve Arabic calligraphy. Our goal in calligraphy is to achieve a smooth beautifying contour of a character. The calligraphy outline, which was largely Arabic, was frequently applied in Bezier curve degrees two and three. As a result, the degree elevation for each curve was increased until it reached degree four, allowing for greater Bezier curve study. This paper presents the comparisons between those three curves by using the Arabic calligraphy "Aamin" as the subject. Curve fitting, curve manipulation, mixing, and merging of curves were all examples of how Bezier curves were employed in Computer Aided Design. Ball curves, also known as a generalized ball basis, are a type of curve that has arbitrary even and odd degrees. There were two types of generalized ball curves: Wang-ball curves and Said-ball curves, each with their own special position parameter. The best curves of the Bezier, Wang-Ball, and Said-Ball curves were combined to create "Aamin" calligraphy. All of the results were programmed into the MATLAB software and graphed. For the redesign “Aamin” calligraphy Bezier curve computes the best time compared to Wang-Ball and Said-Ball curve. The computation time in MATLAB software for the degree 2, degree 3 and degree 4 are 1.48 seconds, 1.52 seconds and 2.50 seconds respectively. The higher the degree elevation, the longer the computation time to generate "Aamin" calligraphy, according to these findings. This research provides the fundamental design and empirical findings in the process of improving the production of computerized Arabic calligraphy
Analisis Konflik Tokoh Dalam Novel Pak Guru Karya Awang Surya
No full textAnalysis of Character Conflict in Pak Guru's Novel Awang Surya's work. Literary work as an imaginary, fiction that offers various problems of man and humanity, life and life. One form of work literature is a novel. Like other literary works, in novels there are conflicts too or problems that are often raised by the author to represent the idea exist in everyday life, with the above facts, the author is interested in conducted a study entitled "Analysis of Character Conflict in Pak Guru's Novel" Awang Surya's work". Research problems (1) How is the conflict of characters in the novel? Mr. Guru by Awang Surya? (2) How does the author express the conflict of characters in the novel Pak Guru by Awang Surya? This research uses qualitative approach with the type of library research and using the method descriptive. Data collection techniques through hermenuetic techniques. In analyzing the data refers to various relevant theories, namely using the Theory of Assessment Nurgiyantoro's (2009) fiction about character conflict and the theory of literary criticism development Indonesia Sukada (1993) on how the author presents character conflicts. Results The study concluded that the conflicts contained in the novel Pak Guru by Awang Surya is (1) internal conflict and external conflict. Internal conflict is a conflict that occurs in the heart, soul of a character or temporary story characters External conflict is a conflict that occurs between a character and something else outside himself, perhaps with the natural environment or perhaps the human environment. The internal conflict was experienced by the characters of Musa and Nasimah while the external conflict happened to the figure of Musa and the teachers of SDN, Musa and Mr. Sarkowi, Musa with Alfan, Musa with Bu Eni, Musa with Nasimah. (2) Author's way Presenting character conflicts analytically and dramatically. Analytics is the way The author describes the conflict of the characters in the story directly explaining the name characters and physical images while dramatic is in an indirect way, namely through conversations or dialogues described by characters when facing problem. The dominant character conflict expressed by the author is the character conflict analytically, because the author describes the story more provide direct explanations without dialogue. Then the author's way revealing character conflicts dramatically illustrated by dialogue directly between the characters contained in the novel Pak Guru by Awang Surya
Improvement of Advancing Front Mesh method in triangle hole filling
No full textMesh-based or triangulated prototypes are widely used to represent objects in
many modelling and computer-aided engineering applications. In certain cases,
there is a possibility of missing points when scanning devices fail to enter certain
regions; and those area captured as a hole in the scanning process. These holes
need to be filled in order to develop an error-free triangulated prototype. The
Advancing Front Mesh method is used to fill a triangle to overcome this problem.
This method iteratively meshes a hole’s area by inserting new triangles and
nodes at the hole’s boundary, then moves to the inside of the area until it is
closed. However, problems occur when finding new points using this method. In
this research, an improved Advancing Front Mesh method is proposed to solve
the problem of filling holes when encounter three intersection problem for the
triangular mesh. The first problem is that when a new generated point is
unconnected to any active point, using the usual threshold circle. Thus the
intersection point was calculated between the threshold circle to any line
segment in a triangle in order to check for nearest active point. Secondly, the
triangle created overlaps other triangles; the circumcircle surrounded all the
starting points along with the new points was used to check for any extra active
point. Then the magnitude was calculated between previous new point to the
new active point to identify the correct points. Thirdly, when the new generated
point is close to the hole’s boundary, the threshold radius have been enlarged in
order to find the new point. Then the bisection point was calculated if there is no
active point in the enlarged radius. The first validation is carried out using the
interpolating surface of the test data with three familiar bivariate functions.
Meanwhile, the second “visual similarity” validation is carried out using a
questionnaire to compare the experimental outcome with the original figure. The
results of this research contribute to the method of satisfying an object’s
visualization and provides an enhanced method of AFM for filling a hole in
triangular mesh

RECONSTRUCTION OF SMOOTH SURFACE BY USING CUBIC BEZIER TRIANGULAR PATCH IN GUI
No full textA smooth surface reconstruction by using the non-uniform distribution of the data points constitutes a major challenge in the technique involving reconstructing surfaces in the field of reverse engineering. In this study, the Delaunay triangulation process was selected as the method was not involve the deletion of the sample data points and could preserve the original surface topology. The study also focused on developing a smooth surface using two processes, i.e., the derivative estimation and the surface interpolation using the cubic Bezier triangular patch. We estimated the 2nd order partial derivatives by applying the least square minimization technique wherein the process was seen to decrease the errors between the estimated and the actual values. Thereafter, we interpolated the surface with the help of the cubic Bezier triangular patch. In this study, rather than using the results generated by multiple subplots in the MATLAB programming (MATLAB, R2015), the result was represented by using the MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI) function for the development of an interface for all the algorithms. Our results show a comparison of the interpolating surface generated by 6 test functions
