Design and Control of an Anthropomorphic Robotic Finger with Multi-point Tactile Sensation
(2001-05-01)
The goal of this research is to develop the prototype of a tactile sensing platform for anthropomorphic manipulation research. We investigate this problem through the fabrication and simple control of a planar 2-DOF robotic ...
Improving Multi-class Text Classification with Naive Bayes
(2001-09-01)
There are numerous text documents available in electronic form. More and more are becoming available every day. Such documents represent a massive amount of information that is easily accessible. Seeking value in this huge ...
The Architect's Collaborator: Toward Intelligent Tools for Conceptual Design
(2001-01-01)
In early stages of architectural design, as in other design domains, the language used is often very abstract. In architectural design, for example, architects and their clients use experiential terms such as "private" ...
Predicate Dispatching in the Common Lisp Object System
(2001-05-01)
I have added support for predicate dispatching, a powerful generalization of other dispatching mechanisms, to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). To demonstrate its utility, I used predicate dispatching to enhance Weyl, ...
Object Recognition with Pictorial Structures
(2001-05-01)
This thesis presents a statistical framework for object recognition. The framework is motivated by the pictorial structure models introduced by Fischler and Elschlager nearly 30 years ago. The basic idea is to model an ...
Rotation Invariant Real-time Face Detection and Recognition System
(2001-05-31)
In this report, a face recognition system that is capable of detecting and recognizing frontal and rotated faces was developed. Two face recognition methods focusing on the aspect of pose invariance are presented and ...
Generalization over contrast and mirror reversal, but not figure-ground reversal, in an "edge-based
(2001-12-10)
Baylis & Driver (Nature Neuroscience, 2001) have recently presented data on the response of neurons in macaque inferotemporal cortex (IT) to various stimulus transformations. They report that neurons can generalize over ...
Global Depth Perception from Familiar Scene Structure
(2001-12-01)
In the absence of cues for absolute depth measurements as binocular disparity, motion, or defocus, the absolute distance between the observer and a scene cannot be measured. The interpretation of shading, edges and junctions ...
Role of color in face recognition
(2001-12-13)
One of the key challenges in face perception lies in determining the contribution of different cues to face identification. In this study, we focus on the role of color cues. Although color appears to be a salient attribute ...
Certified Computation
(2001-04-30)
This paper introduces the notion of certified computation. A certified computation does not only produce a result r, but also a correctness certificate, which is a formal proof that r is correct. This can greatly enhance ...
