Finding the Skeleton of a Brick*
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03)
TC-SKELETON's duty is to help find the dimensions of brick shaped objects by searching for sets of three complete edges, on for each dimension. The program was originally written by Patrick Winston, and then was refined ...
Progress in Extending the VIRGIN Program
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1971-09)
The VIRGIN program will interpret pictures of simple scenes. This paper describes a program, SINNER, which will deal with picture which contain cracks and shadows. In addition to handling pictures of this richer world, ...
A Vision Potpourri
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)
This paper discusses some recent changes and additions to the vision system. Among the additions are the ability to use visual feedback when trying to acurately position an object and the ability to use the arm as a sensory ...
Circular Scan
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-03)
Previous feature point detectors have been local in their support and have been universally designed for objects without appreciable texture. We have invented (or perhaps reinvented) a scheme using correlation between ...
A Program to Output Stored Pictures
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)
A program called LPTSEE has been written for use with the MIT vision system. LPTSEE makes use of the overprint capability of the line printer to allow the user to output a stored picture image.
The FINDSPACE Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1971-08-03)
The FINDSPACE problem is that of establishing a volume in space where an object of specified dimensions will fit. The problem seems to have two subproblems: the hypothesis generation problem of finding a likely spot to ...
Learning complex cell invariance from natural videos: A plausibility proof
(2007-12-26)
One of the most striking feature of the cortex is its ability to wire itself. Understanding how the visual cortex wires up through development and how visual experience refines connections into adulthood is a key question ...
Some Aspects of Medical Diagnosis
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
Since mid July Steve Pauker, Jerome Kassirer, and I (Gerald Jay Sussman) have been observing the diagnostic process of expert physicians with the goal of abstracting the underlying procedures being followed. One purpose ...
A scenario of Planning and Debugging in Electronic Circuit Design
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
The purpose of this short document is to exhibit how a HACKER-like top-down planning and debugging system can be applied to the problem of the design and debugging of simple analog electronic circuits. I believe, and I ...
Quantitative Aspects of the Computation Performed by Visual Cortex in the Cat, With a Note on a Function of Lateral Inhibition
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
A quantitative summary is given of the computation that is performed by visual cortex in the cat. Part of this computation seems to be achieved using a sample-and-average technique; some quantitative features of this ...
