Finding the Skeleton of a Brick
(1973-03-01)
TC-SKELETONs duty is to help find the dimensions of brick shaped objects by searching for sets of three complete edges, one for each dimension. The program was originally written by Patrick Winston, and then was refined ...
A Quick Fail-Safe Procedure for Determining Whether the GCD of 2 Polynomials is 1
(1967-03-01)
One of the most widely used routines in an algebraic manipulation system is a polynomial manipulation package (1,2,3). The crucial operation in such routines is the extraction of the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of ...
Estimating Stereo Disparities
(1967-02-01)
An interesting practical and theoretical problem is putting bounds on how much computation one needs to find the stereo-disparity between two narrow-angle stereo scenes. By narrow angle I mean situations wherein the angle ...
Incorporating MIDAS Routines into PDP-6 LISP
(1967-03-01)
Some PDP6 LISP users have felt a need for a way to incorporate MIDAS subroutines into LISP. LISP has been changed to let you do this, using files found on the LISP SYSTEM microtape. You write a routine for LISP in much the ...
Proposal to ARPA for Research on Artificial Intelligence at MIT, 1970-1971
(1970-12-01)
The MIT Artificial Intelligence Project has a variety of goals all bound together by search for principles of intelligent behavior. Among our immediate goals are to develop systems with practical applications for: ...
Remarks on Correlation Tracking
(1967-03-01)
The problem is to track the motion of part of a field of view. Let us assume that the scene is a two-dimensional picture in a plane perpendicular to the roll axis. (these simplifying assumptions, of course, are a main ...
On Boundary Detection
(1970-07-01)
A description is given of how edge erase of prismatic objects appear through a television camera serving as visual input to a computer. Two types of edge-finding predicates are proposed and compared, one linear in intensity, ...
CHAR PLOT
(1967-03-01)
CHAR PLOT is a routine which enables one to use the CalComp plotter as a versatile output device. It is presently available as CHPLOT BIN (English CHAR PLOT) on tape MS 3. The program CHAR PLOT is normally called by a PUSHJ ...
Hardware and Program Memo About SERVO
(1967-03-01)
SERVO is intended as an engineering and programming analyzing and debugging aid for use with devices connected through the input and output multiplexers to the PDP-6. Cannel numbers and values to output, as well as ...
Computer Tracking of Eye Motions
(1967-03-01)
This memo is to explain why the Artificial Intelligence group of Project MAC is developing methods for on-line tracking of human eye movements. It also gives a brief resume of results to date and the next steps.
