s: Arc detection is difficult for processing, assembly and testing of industrial production because of limitations of detection methods, algorithms and instruments. The least-squares algorithm is used to fit data in circle detection. The application of conventional least-squares algorithm is limited, as roundness error is bigger, precision is lower. For detecting arc with data points of non-uniform distribution, improved least-squares algorithm, developed an analysis algorithm for assessing the minimum zone roundness error. Center and radius can be solved, without iteration and truncation error. Using the discrete data instances verified different roundness error evaluation methods. Visual measurements have been carried out using the proposed methods. Calculated results using the four kinds of roundness error evaluation methods (Figure 7-10). Ball diameter errors are-0.0245mm、0.0176mm、-0.1052mm and 0.302mm, roundness errors are 0.07mm、0.063mm、0.078mm and 0.146mm. The improved least-squares algorithm and the minimum zone algorithm are suitable for distributed data of all kinds situations, particularly suitable for the realization of machine vision inspection system, fast speed, high precision, wide application.

This paper presents the evaluation of usersХ experiences in three intelligent lighting pilots in Finland. Two of the case studies are related to the use of intelligent lighting in different kinds of traffic areas, having emphasis on aspects of visibility, traffic and movement safety, and sense of security. The last case study presents a more complex view to the experience of intelligent lighting in smart city contexts. The evaluation methods, tailored to each pilot context, include questionnaires, an urban dashboard, in-situ interviews and observations, evaluation probes, and system data analyses. The applicability of the selected and tested methods is discussed reflecting the process and achieved results.

Aim/Purpose: This paper presents a study of Virtual Communities of Practice (VCoP) evaluation methods that aims to identify their current status and impact on knowledge sharing. The purposes of the study are as follows: (i) to identify trends and research gaps in VCoP evaluation methods; and, (ii) to assist researchers to position new research activities in this domain. Background: VCoP have become a popular knowledge sharing mechanism for both individuals and organizations. Their evaluation process is complex; however, it is recognized as an essential means to provide evidences of community effectiveness. Moreover, VCoP have introduced additional features to face to face Communities of Practice (CoP) that need to be taken into account in evaluation processes, such as geographical dispersion. The fact that VCoP rely on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to execute their practices as well as storing artifacts virtually makes more consistent data analysis possible; thus, the evaluation process can apply automatic data gathering and analysis. Methodology: A systematic mapping study, based on five research questions, was carried out in order to analyze existing studies about VCoP evaluation methods and frameworks. The mapping included searching five research databases resulting in the selection of 1,417 papers over which a formal analysis process was applied. This process led to the preliminary selection of 39 primary studies for complete reading. After reading them, we select 28 relevant primary studies from which data was extracted and synthesized to answer the proposed research questions. Contribution: The authors of the primary studies analyzed along this systematic mapping propose a set of methods and strategies for evaluating VCoP, such as frameworks, processes and maturity models. Our main contribution is the identification of some research gaps present in the body of studies, in order to stimulate projects that can improve VCoP evaluation methods and support its important role in social learning. Findings: The systematic mapping led to the conclusion that most of the approaches for VCoP evaluation do not consider the combination of data structured and unstructured metrics. In addition, there is a lack of guidelines to support community operators’ actions based on evaluation metrics.
