Using video records in 3D modelling of large historical monuments

This research aims to explore the potential of low cost video camera for 3D modelling of large historical monuments. As we know, photos extraction is a fundamental issue in any photogrammetric project. In fact, cost and time are dependent on photo extraction method. Usually, photos are taken one by one assuring that every object point is on two photos at least. This operation is time consuming in large scenes modelling. In the other hand, video record is a simple operation and requires short time comparing to traditional photo shooting. Then, it will be useful to suggest an approach to use video recordings as a source of photos required for 3D modelling. In the present study, we will evaluate the capability of two video cameras. The first one is a commercial independent camera and the second is associated with a mobile phone in the extraction of photos required for 3D modelling of a relatively large objects. It should be noted that the resolution of video frames in mobile phone cameras (comparing to professional ones) is less than the resolution of ordinary photos. Hence, 3D models resulting using these frames will be good for applications that don’t require high precision.

Two dimensional thermal analysis of a He – Ne laser's output and methods of cooling

we seek to ensure laser stability , during its work , with time , and consistency of specifications and efficiency (returns), the cooling of the active medium and optical elements, are sensitive to the proper cooling method, in economic terms and in terms ease of work. Cooling technique helps prolonging the life of laser systems ,its stability and optimizing its operation. So the total cooling efficient lasers , Scientific and Industrial is essential when designing a laser and helps improving the specifications of lasers , gaseous or solid or semiconductor . In addition to that cooling has a good impact on the age of the laser , and safety of its use . The designed cooling system , necessary for a certain laser system , depends on the amount of heat generated from the system(in Joule), which must be removed by the cooling system to keep the laser at specific temperature
