And the comparability between the action of virtual hand and real man-hand has always been regarded as one of the important criteria to judge whether the virtual environment has the property of immersion. On the basis of analyzing the relative position,posture,and motion behavior relationship between virtual hand and the object to be operated during virtual assembly,this paper proposed an implementation method of combining grasp index with collision detecting technology for identifying grasp action of virtual hand. The method is to identify grasp/quit using grasp index and to implement joint angle adjustment through simulation cyclic iteration and joint angle interpolation calculation. Although some traditional method identifying the grasp action on the basis of the shape of the object is operated,the simulation result getting from virtual environment created by EON STUDIO shows that it has good features of serviceability and fidelity to realize operation control of virtual hand.展开更多

A novel adaptive method is presented to adjust the learning rate of GMM in a Hilbert space. The background extraction is treated as a process of approaching to a certain point in the Hilbert space,so the real-time learning rate can be obtained by calculating the distance between the two adjacent extracted background images,and a judgment method of the stability of background is got too. Compared with conventional GMM,the method has both high rapidness and good stability at the same time,and it can adjust the learning rate online. The experiment shows that it is better than conventional GMM,especially in the transition process of background extraction.展开更多

Utilizing chaos theory, a chaos grid preprocessing model (CGPM) is established to efficiently pick up the solution space and reduce the search range in the pre-processing, which simplifies the optimization search. A modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to seek for an approximate optimal trajectory in the solution space in the optimization search based on standard PSO algorithm and migration characters of people. The comparison of experiments and analysis results shows that the modified PSO algorithm is capable of preventing prematurity effectively and searching for the optimal trajectory more efficiently. Theoretical analysis proves that the modified PSO algorithm converges at global optimum. The examples show that the automatic pipe-routing algorithm based on flow loss is effective and practical for eleetromechanieal product.展开更多
