The EIGHT Manual: A System for Geometric Modelling and Three-Dimensional Graphics on the Lisp Machine
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-08)
We describe a simple geometric modelling system called Eight which supports interactive creation, editing, and display of three-dimensional polyhedral solids. Perspective views of a polyhedral environment may be generated, ...
Associative Learning of Standard Regularizing Operators in Early Vision
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-12)
Standard regularization methods can be used to solve satisfactorily several problems in early vision, including edge detection, surface reconstruction, the computation of motion and the recovery of color. In this paper, ...
Tradeoffs in Designing a Parallel Architecture for the Apiary
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-12)
The Apiary is an abstract computer architecture designed for performing computation based on the idea of message passing between dynamic computational objects called actors. An apiary connotes a community of worker bees ...
Chapter and Verse Program Description
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-06)
The design of a program is rarely a straightforward mapping from the problem solution to the code. More frequently, fragments of high level concepts are distributed over one or more modules such that it is hard to identify ...
BUILD -- A System Construction Tool
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-08)
BUILD is a proposed tool for constructing systems from existing modules. BUILD system descriptions are composed of module declarations and assertions of how modules refer to each other. An extensible library of information ...
TEMPEST -- A Template Editor for Structured Text
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-05)
This paper proposes an editing tool named TEMPEST (TEMPlate Editor for Structured Text) whose goal is to extend a text editing environment by using templates to incorporate into it some knowledge of the structure of the ...
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
(1984-02-01)
Since Robotics is the field concerned with the connection of perception to action, Artificial Intelligence must have a central role in Robotics if the connection is to be intelligent. Artificial Intelligence addresses ...
A Method for Computing Spectral Reflectance
(1984-12-01)
Psychophysical experiments show that the perceived colour of an object is relatively independent of the spectrum of the incident illumination and depends only on the surface reflectance. We demonstrate a possible ...
The Curvature Primal Sketch
(1984-02-01)
In this paper we introduce a novel representation of the significant changes in curvature along the bounding contour of planar shape. We call the representation the curvature primal sketch. We describe an implemented ...
Computations Underlying the Measurement of Visual Motion
(1984-03-01)
The organization of movement in a changing image provides a valuable source of information for analyzing the environment in terms of objects, their motion in space, and their three-dimensional structure. This movement ...
