The present invention provides a method whereby the spatial relationship and orientations of one or more three-dimensional objects being illuminated by an optical projector, and the optical projector itself, can be very accurately defined both quickly and easily. The present invention also provides a novel computerized optical projection system whereby three dimensional data when viewed by the human eye projected onto three dimensional objects is not deformed as a result of the non-planar projection surface. The present invention could have many applications in many industries that include entertainment, apparel, marketing, and many others. In one embodiment, the invention provides computerized optical assembly or manufacturing guidance systems, and related methods, that provide step-by-step assembly or manufacturing instructions for instructing technicians how to assemble or manufacture three-dimensional objects or systems, or parts thereof, which may be extremely complex, such as an aircraft, or a part thereof (a vertical stabilizer, or the like), in a very efficient, rapid and accurate manner. The assembly instructions are in the form of calibrated three-dimensional text, images and / or symbols, and are projected by one or a plurality of optical projectors that are in operable communication with one or a plurality of computers onto the three-dimensional objects or systems, or component parts or skins thereof.

Movies to be colorized / depth enhanced (2D->3D) are broken into backgrounds / sets or motion / onscreen-action. Background and motion elements are combined into composite frame which becomes a visual reference database that includes data for all frame offsets used later for the computer controlled application of masks within a sequence of frames. Masks are applied to subsequent frames of motion objects based on various differentiating image processing methods, including automated mask fitting / reshaping. Colors / depths are automatically applied with masks throughout a scene from the composite background and to motion objects. Areas never exposed by motion or foreground objects may be partially or fully realistically drawn / rendered / applied to the occluded areas and applied throughout the images to generate artifact-free secondary viewpoints during 2D->3D conversion. Iterative workflow is eliminated for simple artifact correction through real-time manipulation of images to avoid re-rendering of images and associated delays of sending work product to other workgroups for correction.

A vehicle front structure has a pair of right and left apron side members 1 each extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and having a closed cross section structure, a bumper 2 located on the vehicle front side Fr of the front end portion of the apron side member 1, and a grille 5 attached to air intake openings 3, 4 in the bumper 2. In this vehicle front structure, shock absorbing parts 20 formed integrally with the grille 5 are disposed between the bumper 2 and the front end portions of the apron side members 1.

A vehicle rear body structure including: a cross member provided beneath a rear parcel shelf to connect upper ends of rear suspension towers; a strip member provided along a rear edge of a floor panel; and panel members provided between the cross member and the strip member to connect the cross member and the strip member. The panel members include a center panel and a pair of side panels arranged on outer sides in a vehicle transverse direction of the center panel, respectively. Each of the side panels is joined along an inner edge in the vehicle transverse direction thereof to the center panel by a continuous welding.

Apparatus for applying a fluid to a target area of a component is provided, the apparatus comprising a fluid applicator 10 and means 12, 300, 400 for guiding the fluid applicator 10 along a predetermined path with respect to the component 26; the fluid applicator 10 comprising a body 14 and an application head 50, 100, 200 mounted on the body 14 and operable in use to be brought into physical contact with the component 26.

A frame assembly for installing panel modules with different dimensions is disclosed. The frame assembly includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame has a first fixing structure formed thereon and a first sliding structure in an axis direction. The second frame has a second fixing structure formed thereon and a second sliding structure in the axis direction. The second sliding structure is slidably engaged with the first sliding structure. The first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are fixed on a side of a first panel module or on a side of a second panel module when the second frame slides relative to the first frame in the axis direction to a first position or to a second position.
