Abstract:
Definitions of 3-D digital surface and plane are introduced. Many geometric properties of these objects are examined. In particular, it is shown that digital convexity is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for a digital surface element to be a convex digital plane element, but it is both necessary and sufficient for a digital surface to be a digital plane. Also algorithms are presented to determine whether or not a finite set of digital points is a (convex) digital plane element.

Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...
