An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Brief Users Guide to the IvP Helm Autonomy Software
(2009-06-18)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
Enhanced Visual Authoring Using Operation History
(2009-06-24)
Graphical editors have introduced great flexibility to the designer's workflow, providing powerful digital tools and enabling the creation of complex and compelling designs. This thesis presents methods for improving these ...
An integrated model of visual attention using shape-based features
(2009-06-20)
Apart from helping shed some light on human perceptual mechanisms, modeling visual attention has important applications in computer vision. It has been shown to be useful in priming object detection, pruning interest points, ...
Interactive Visual Histories for Vector Graphics
(2009-06-24)
Presentation and graphics software enables users to experiment with variations of illustrations. They can revisit recent editing operations using the ubiquitous undo command, but they are limited to sequential exploration. ...
Keeping Mobile Robots Connected
(2009-06-17)
Designing robust algorithms for mobile agents with reliable communication is difficult due to the distributed nature of computation, in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) the matter is exacerbated by the need to ensure ...
The Guided Improvement Algorithm for Exact, General-Purpose, Many-Objective Combinatorial Optimization
(2009-07-03)
This paper presents a new general-purpose algorithm for exact solving of combinatorial many-objective optimization problems. We call this new algorithm the guided improvement algorithm. The algorithm is implemented on top ...
Partitioning Strategies for Concurrent Programming
(2009-06-16)
This work presents four partitioning strategies, or patterns, useful for decomposing a serial application into multiple concurrently executing parts. These partitioning strategies augment the commonly used task and data ...
A Useful Homomorphic Encryption Method
(2009-06-15)
Detecting Hazardous Intensive Care Patient Episodes Using Real-time Mortality Models
(2009-08-26)
The modern intensive care unit (ICU) has become a complex, expensive, data-intensive environment. Caregivers maintain an overall assessment of their patients based on important observations and trends. If an advanced ...
Extending a MOOS-IvP Autonomy System and Users Guide to the IvPBuild Toolbox
(2009-08-20)
This document describes how to extend the suite of MOOS applications and IvP Helm behaviors distributed with the MOOS-IvP software bundle from www.moos-ivp.org. It covers (a) a straw-man repository with a place-holder MOOS ...
