Most elementary school students have experiences with a rectangular graphing system that helps to prepare them for ideas in algebra and analytic geometry. Mathematics books at the elementary school level contain a section on graphing, though it is often one of the later chapters, where it may be treated as supplementary material. In science and in social studies, students may find various data graphed or may have a project in which they have to graph daily temperatures, rainfall, or test scores. Biorhythms, record sales charts, or, for the more ambitious, the daily stock market give additional exposure. Designing graphics on the computer monitor often requires some placement by a rectangular coordinate system. By the time students meet the Cartesian coordinate system with its x- and y-axes and use it to graph equations, the idea and techniques should be somewhat familiar.

The main issue addressed here is that of estimating the kinematic state components of a vehicle in autonomous navigation using landmark angle-only measurements from an onboard passive sensor. The estimates of the absolute position and velocity of the vehicle are provided by a hybrid coordinate fusion filter. The hierarchical architecture of the filter which consists of a group of local processors and a global processor is developed for improving estimation accuracy. In each local processor, an extended Kalman filter uses hybrid information from the reference Cartesian coordinate system and the modified polar coordinate system for state and state error covariance extrapolation and updating. In the global processor, a weighted least squares estimator is utilized to combine the outputs of local processors to form a global estimate. By using only two landmarks simulation results show that proposed algorithm improves the estimation accuracy drastically.

Abstract An essential aspect of the safety of navigation is avoiding collisions with other vessels and natural or man made navigational obstructions. To solve this kind of problem the navigator relies on automatic anti-collision ARPA systems, or uses a geometric method and makes radar plots. In both cases radar measurements are made: bearing (or relative bearing) on the target position and distance, both naturally expressed in the polar coordinates system originating at the radar antenna. We first convert original measurements to an ortho-Cartesian coordinate system. Then we solve collision avoiding problems in rectangular planar coordinates, and the results are transformed to the polar coordinate system. This article presents a method for an analysis of a collision situation at sea performed directly in the polar coordinate system. This approach enables a simpler geometric interpretation of a collision situation

According to the example of using a common grinding and composition of parts processing movement and achievement elements, the design of construction of special NC technologies in ordinary grinding machine was formulated. . The grinding and polish-grinding were performed by using two NC systems in series to achieve multi-axis movement. The function and application scope of NC technology were expanded because the instantaneous compensation of the grinding wheel and the polish-grinding wheel were performed under a rectangular coordinate system and a polar coordinate system by using an open loop NC system. The application of surface recovery of grinding wheel by NC reconstruction and extension applications of processing the track of involute curve were referred.

Based on the elastic mechanics theory, combined with Saint-Venant principle and the superposition principle, the calculating method for the stress of gravity dam in arbitrary storage water lever were put forward by means of the equivalent stress method and the dimensional analysis method through the conversion between a Cartesian coordinate system and Polar coordinate system. The method not only offers a new idea for calculating the stress of gravity dam, but also presents research bases for evaluating synthetically the strength of gravity dam.

With the aid of sophisticated photo-editing software, such as Photoshop, copy-move image forgery operation has been widely applied and has become a major concern in the field of information security in the modern society. A lot of work on detecting this kind of forgery has gained great achievements, but the detection results of geometrical transformations of copy-move regions are not so satisfactory. In this paper, a new method based on the Polar Complex Exponential Transform is proposed. This method addresses issues in image geometric moment, focusing on constructing rotation invariant moment and extracting features of the rotation invariant moment. In order to reduce rounding errors of the transform from the Polar coordinate system to the Cartesian coordinate system, a new transformation method is presented and discussed in detail at the same time. The new method constructs a [Formula: see text] shrunk template to transform the Cartesian coordinate system back to the Polar coordinate system. It can reduce transform errors to a much greater degree. Forgery detection, such as copy-move image forgery detection, is a difficult procedure, but experiments prove our method is a great improvement in detecting and identifying forgery images affected by the rotated transform.

Traditional Hough circle detection algorithm usually determines the center and radius of a circle by mapping points in cartesian coordinate system to polar coordinate system. Since it accumulates in the three-dimensional space, it requires more calculation consumption. In this paper, we solve the problem of high time complexity of Hough algorithm in judging circle radius and circle center from two aspects of circle angle and circle radius according to the geometric features of quasi-circles. A large number of experiments show that, compared with the traditional algorithm, this algorithm can not only identify quasi-circles, but also improve the detection success rate of circles by about 10%, with efficient running speed, and obtain good experimental results in the detection of craters.
