Orientador: José Carlos Plácido da Silva / Banca: Paulo Kawauchi / Banca: Luis Carlos Paschoarelli / Resumo: Dados antropométricos são os principais parâmetros projetuais para o dimensionamento de produtos e espaços de atividades. Eles permitem predizer alguns aspectos importantes das áreas de interface ainda durante o desenvolvimento projetual, principalmente no que se refere à adequação dimensional para populações específicas. Entretanto, apesar de expressivos, na forma em que são disponibilizados atualmente, estes dados acabam encontrando dificuldades para se difundir, principalmente dentro do setor produtivo onde a velocidade de produção e as exigências do empregador, muitas vezes fazem com que informações essenciais acabem sendo desconsideradas. Outra questão que se levanta refere-se à possível adequação e melhoria no processo de uso desse corpo de conhecimento para o dimensionamento dos projetos atuais, que em sua maioria, caminham para o desenvolvimento tridimensional em ambientes virtuais. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo propor uma nova abordagem para autilização dos dados antropométricos de populações extremas, através do desenvolvimento de uma interface gráfica de consulta e manipulação, que divulgue e facilite o acesso às medidas, tabulações e parâmetros atualmente disponíveis, fornecendo também, referências e estudos tridimensionais com manequins antropométricos, dimensionalmente confiáveis, da população infantil e de idosos brasileiros, adequando-os desta forma ao contexto tecnológico atual de desenvolvimento de projeto / Abstract: Data anthropometrics are the principal parameters projects for the dimension of products and spaces of activities. They allow stilling predicting some important aspects of the interface areas during the development projects, mainly in what he/she refers to the dimensional adaptation for specific populations. However, in spite of expressive, in the form in that they are now available, these data end up having difficulties to diffuse, mainly inside of the productive section where the production speed and the demands of the employer, a lot of time do with that essential information end up being inconsiderate. Another subject that one lift refers to the possible adaptation and improvement in the process of use of that knowledge body for the dimension of the current projects, that in your majority, they walk for the three-dimensional development in virtual atmospheres. This research has for objetive to propose a new approach for use of the data anthropometrics of extreme populations, through the development of a graphic interface of consultation and manipulation, that it publishes and facilitate the acess now to the measure, tabulations and parameters available, also supplying, references and three-dimensional studies with dolls anthropometrics, reliable dimension, of the infantile population and of Brazilian senior, adapting them this way to the current technological context of project development / Mestre

This dissertation investigates the feasibility of creating real-time three-dimensional images, using data obtained from satellites. The aim is to enhance satellite imaging applications, by utilizing the normal 3-D visual perceptions of humans. A study is made of the different methods developed to create the illusion of seeing a three-dimensional object from essentially two-dimensional images. 3-D display devices based on the principles of human stereoscopic vision do exist. Other 3-D display techniques include holograms and volumetric displays. Satellite images are used in a wide range of applications, from urban planning, to earth surveillance, and even weather prediction. In the past, satellite imaging was the express domain of experts, trained in the analysis and interpretation of satellite images. However, in recent years, the acquisition and analysis of satellite images have been greatly facilitated by the growing number of commercial satellites in our skies, as well as readily available software packages. Satellite images are available in many types of image formats, and can represent a large variety of information about an area. The model developed for this dissertation (the ACSI-3D model) proposes a method for the conversion of satellite images to suitable input for a stereoscopic 3-D display device. The model covers the process from initial image acquisition to the final display. It consists of four basic phases: Image Acquisition, Stereopsis, Sequencing and Synchronization, and Display. The “Stereoscopic Image Pair Creator” prototype was developed to test parts of this model. / Ehlers, E.M., Prof.
