Foot measurement is necessary for personalized customization. Nowadays, people usually obtain their foot size by using a ruler or foot scanner. However, there are some disadvantages to this, namely, large measurement error and variance when using rulers, and high price and poor convenience when using a foot scanner. To tackle these problems, we obtain foot parameters by 3D foot reconstruction based on mobile phone photography. Firstly, foot images are taken by a mobile phone. Secondly, the SFM (Structure-from-Motion) algorithm is used to acquire the corresponding parameters and then to calculate the camera position to construct the sparse model. Thirdly, the PMVS (Patch-based Multi View System) is adopted to build a dense model. Finally, the Meshlab is used to process and measure the foot model. The result shows that the experimental error of the 3D foot reconstruction method is around 1 mm, which is tolerable for applications such as shoe tree customization. The experiment proves that the method can construct the 3D foot model efficiently and easily. This technology has broad application prospects in the fields of shoe size recommendation, high-end customized shoes and medical correction.
With improvements in social productivity and technology, along with the popularity of the Internet, consumer demands are becoming increasingly personalized and diversified, promoting the transformation from mass customization to social manufacturing (SM). How to achieve efficient product customization remains a challenge. Massive multi-modal data, such as text and images, are generated during the manufacturing process. Based on the data, we can use large-scale pre-trained deep learning models and neural radiation field (NeRF) techniques to generate user-friendly 3D contents for 3D Printing. Furthermore, by the cloud computing technology, we can achieve more efficient SM operations. In this paper, we propose an efficient product-customization framework that can provide new ideas for the design, implementation, and optimization of collaborative production, and can provide insights for the upgrading of manufacturing industries.
The extensive proliferation of urban transit cards and smartphones has witnessed the feasibility of the collection of citywide travel behaviors and the estimation of traffic status in real-time. In this paper, an urban public traffic dynamic network based on the cyber-physical-social system (CPSS-UPTDN) is proposed as a universal framework for advanced public transportation systems, which can optimize the urban public transportation based on big data and AI methods. Firstly, we introduce three modules and two loops which composes of the novel framework. Then, the key technologies in CPSS-UPTDN are studied, especially collecting and analyzing traffic information by big data and AI methods, and a particular implementation of CPSS-UPTDN is discussed, namely the artificial system, computational experiments, and parallel execution (ACP) method. Finally, a case study is performed. The data sources include both traffic congestion data from physical space and cellular data from social space, which can improve the prediction performance for traffic status. Furthermore, the service quality of urban public transportation can be promoted by optimizing the bus dispatching based on the parallel execution in our framework.
Recently, tight sandstone oil has played an increasingly important role in the energy strategies of countries around the world. However, the understanding of a microscopic mechanism is still not clear enough, which has been affecting the improvement of the recovery of tight sandstone oil. In this article, a digital core model was established to simulate the pore network of a physical core with CT scan and difference equations were verified by Fourier counting. Then, a combination of orthogonal tests and cubic digital cores was used to experimentally investigate various parameters including pressure, length, permeability, viscosity, and time. By combining the physical experiments with the digital core methods, it can be observed that the state of the micro-crack affects the conductivity of the core, which may be the decisive reason for changing the pressure gradient. The orthogonal test showed that the sensitivity of the parameters was pressure, length, permeability, time, and viscosity in order. The results of the numerical simulations showed that this method can reveal the seepage mechanism of a tight sandstone reservoir, greatly shortening the experimental time and improving flexibility.

Multiview 3-D reconstruction holds considerable promise across a wide applications in social manufacturing. Conducting in-depth research on precise and robust multiview 3-D reconstruction holds the potential to significantly empower the domain of social manufacturing. Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in the domain of neural implicit surfaces learning through volume rendering for the purpose of multiview reconstruction without 3-D supervision. Conventional approaches often overlook explicit multiview geometry constraints, resulting in shortcomings in generating consistent surface reconstructions and recovering fine details. To solve this, we propose geometry-guided neural implicit surface ( GG-NeuS ), a geometry-guided neural implicit surfaces learning method for multiview surface reconstruction. Our model places a stronger emphasis on maintaining geometry consistency, significantly enhancing the quality of reconstruction. First, we enforce multiview geometry constraints on the surface points by locating the zero-level set of signed distance function (SDF). Second, we incorporate normal cues, predicted by general-purpose monocular estimators, to substantially recover fine geometric details. Additionally, we introduce a voxel-based surface reconstruction methodology that strikes an optimal balance between training time and reconstruction quality. Through comprehensive qualitative and quantitative experiments and analyses, we demonstrate that GG-NeuS successfully reconstructs fine-grained surface details and achieves superior surface reconstruction quality than state-of-the-art approaches.
