A conceptual design tool: Sketch and fuzzy logic based system
No full textA real time sketch and fuzzy logic based prototype system for conceptual design has been developed. This system comprises four phases. In the first one, the system accepts the input of on-line free-hand sketches, and segments them into meaningful parts by using fuzzy knowledge to detect corners and inflection points on the sketched curves. The fuzzy knowledge is applied to capture user’s drawing intention in terms of sketching position, direction, speed and acceleration. During the second phase, each segmented sub-part (curve) can be classified and identified as one of the following 2D primitives: straight lines, circles, circular arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs or B-spline curves. Then, 2D topology information (connectivity, unitary constraints and pairwise constraints) is extracted dynamically from the identified 2D primitives. From the extracted information, a more accurate 2D geometry can be built up by a 2D geometric constraint solver. The 2D topology and geometry information is then employed to further interpretation of a 3D geometry. The system can not only accept sketched input, but also users’ interactive input of 2D and 3D primitives.
This makes it friendly and easier to use, in comparison with ‘sketched input only’, or ‘interactive input only’ systems.
Finally, examples are given to illustrate the system

Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
