Fast Contour Matching Using Approximate Earth Mover's Distance
(2003-12-05)
Weighted graph matching is a good way to align a pair of shapesrepresented by a set of descriptive local features; the set ofcorrespondences produced by the minimum cost of matching features fromone shape to the features ...
RamboNodes for the Metropolitan Ad Hoc Network
(2003-12-17)
We present an algorithm to store data robustly in a large, geographically distributed network by means of localized regions of data storage that move in response to changing conditions. For example, data might migrate away ...
Mobilized ad-hoc networks: A reinforcement learning approach
(2003-12-04)
Research in mobile ad-hoc networks has focused on situations in whichnodes have no control over their movements. We investigate animportant but overlooked domain in which nodes do have controlover their movements. ...
On Modular Pluggable Analyses Using Set Interfaces
(2003-12-18)
We present a technique that enables the focused applicationof multiple analyses to different modules in the same program. Our researchhas two goals: 1) to address the scalability limitations of preciseanalyses by focusing ...
Rosebud: A Scalable Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant Storage Architecture
(2003-12-17)
This paper presents Rosebud, a new Byzantine faulttolerantstorage architecture designed to be highly scalableand deployable in the wide-area. To support massiveamounts of data, we need to partition the data among thenodes. ...
Teaching an Old Robot New Tricks: Learning Novel Tasks via Interaction with People and Things
(2003-06-20)
As AI has begun to reach out beyond its symbolic, objectivist roots into the embodied, experientialist realm, many projects are exploring different aspects of creating machines which interact with and respond to the world ...
Stereo-Based Head Pose Tracking Using Iterative Closest Point and Normal Flow Constraint
(2003-05-01)
In this text, we present two stereo-based head tracking techniques along with a fast 3D model acquisition system. The first tracking technique is a robust implementation of stereo-based head tracking designed for ...
Compact Representations for Fast Nonrigid Registration of Medical Images
(2003-07-04)
We develop efficient techniques for the non-rigid registration of medical images by using representations that adapt to the anatomy found in such images. Images of anatomical structures typically have uniform intensity ...
Safe Distributed Coordination of Heterogeneous Robots through Dynamic Simple Temporal Networks
(2003-05-30)
Research on autonomous intelligent systems has focused on how robots can robustly carry out missions in uncertain and harsh environments with very little or no human intervention. Robotic execution languages such as RAPs, ...
From First Contact to Close Encounters: A Developmentally Deep Perceptual System for a Humanoid Robot
(2003-06-01)
This thesis presents a perceptual system for a humanoid robot that integrates abilities such as object localization and recognition with the deeper developmental machinery required to forge those competences out of raw ...
