Automated Calibration of Mobile Cameras for 3D Reconstruction of Mechanical Pipes
Reza Maalek, Derek Lichti
This manuscript provides a new framework for calibration of optical instruments, in particular mobile cameras, using large-scale circular black and white target fields. New methods…
Towards Automatic Digital Documentation and Progress Reporting of Mechanical Construction Pipes using Smartphones
Reza Maalek, Derek Lichti, Shahrokh Maalek
This manuscript presents a new framework towards automated digital documentation and progress reporting of mechanical pipes in building construction projects, using smartphones. Ne…
Robust Detection of Non-overlapping Ellipses from Points with Applications to Circular Target Extraction in Images and Cylinder Detection in Point Clouds
Reza Maalek, Derek Lichti
This manuscript provides a collection of new methods for the automated detection of non-overlapping ellipses from edge points. The methods introduce new developments in: (i) robust…
New Confocal Hyperbola-based Ellipse Fitting with Applications to Estimating Parameters of Mechanical Pipes from Point Clouds
Reza Maalek, Derek Lichti
This manuscript presents a new method for fitting ellipses to two-dimensional data using the confocal hyperbola approximation to the geometric distance of points to ellipses. The p…
