Background And Objective: Object reassembly is a key technology in scenarios such as surgical planning and broken object restoration. Based on previous research, this work intends to explore the general tasks of 3D object reassembly, including conventional object reconstruction and bone fracture reduction.
Methods: We introduce an efficient and robust region-pair-relation descriptor, which incorporates strong geometric constraints and remains invariant to rotation and translation. We segment the fractured objects using balanced cluster tree, and develop a coarse-to-fine method for object reassembly. The matching quality of potential region contact pairs at different depths is estimated recursively from the root of the tree. Once the best contact pairs are determined, the least squares method is implemented to obtain the matching results. In addition, we also provide a semi-interactive manipulation to deal with the complex objects.
Results: For most types of broken objects, our approach can generate high accuracy matching results within 10 s, with the cluster tree depth equals to 11. It allows the automatic reassembly of different-sized fragments. For bone fracture blocks with cancellous structures, a semi-interactive operation is integrated so that the precise matching can also be achieved in 30 s.
Conclusion: The proposed framework can be expanded to various object reassembly tasks in either automated or semi-automated manner, including the fracture reduction problem which used to be an intensive manual process. Therefore, our work shows significant advantages in medical applications.

Scratches and cracks in steel severely affect its service life and performance. However, owing to the irregular shapes and sizes of steel surface defects, defects within the same class may be different, whereas defects between classes may be similar. Existing methods focus only on spatial information, resulting in low detection accuracy.

In response to the low accuracy and slow detection speed of chili recognition in natural environments, this study proposes a chili pepper object detection method based on the improved YOLOv8n. Evaluations were conducted among YOLOv5n, YOLOv6n, YOLOv7-tiny, YOLOv8n, YOLOv9, and YOLOv10 to select the optimal model. YOLOv8n was chosen as the baseline and improved as follows: (1) Replacing the YOLOv8 backbone with the improved HGNetV2 model to reduce floating-point operations and computational load during convolution.

Hierarchical supramolecular systems, characterized by nanoscale sensitivity and macroscopic tangible changes, offer promising perspectives for the design of remotely controllable, rapid, and precise actuation materials, serving as a potential substitution for non-intelligent and complex actuation switches. Herein, we reported on the disassembly of orderly and rigid starch helical covalent structures, and their subsequent reassembly into a hierarchical supramolecular gel composed of nanocluster aggregates, integrating supramolecular interactions of three different scales. The incorporation of photo-sensitive FeTA, a complex of trivalent iron ions and tannic acid, significantly enhances the photo-responsive strain capacity of the hierarchical supramolecular gel.
