KAM: Automatic Planning and Interpretation of Numerical Experiments Using Geometrical Methods
(1989-08-01)
KAM is a computer program that can automatically plan, monitor, and interpret numerical experiments with Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. The program has recently helped solve an open problem in ...
On Probabilistic Strategies for Robot Tasks
(1989-08-01)
Robots must act purposefully and successfully in an uncertain world. Sensory information is inaccurate or noisy, actions may have a range of effects, and the robot's environment is only partially and imprecisely ...
Modelling the Somantic Electrical Response of Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons
(1989-09-01)
A modeling study of hippocampal pyramidal neurons is described. This study is based on simulations using HIPPO, a program which simulates the somatic electrical activity of these cells. HIPPO is based on a) descriptions ...
Three-Dimensional Motion Estimation Using Shading Information in Multiple Frames
(1989-09-01)
A new formulation for recovering the structure and motion parameters of a moving patch using both motion and shading information is presented. It is based on a new differential constraint equation (FICE) that links the ...
The Computation of Color
(1989-09-01)
This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of color vision, focussing on the phenomenon of color constancy formulated as a computational problem. The primary contributions of the thesis are (1) the ...
An Alternative to Using the 3D Delaunay Tessellation for Representing Freespace
(1989-09-01)
Representing the world in terms of visible surfaces and the freespacesexisting between these surfaces and the viewer is an important problemsin robotics. Recently, researchers have proposed using the 3DsDelaunay ...
Fast, Cheap and Out of Control
(1989-12-01)
Spur-of-the-moment planetary exploration missions are within our reach. Complex systems and complex missions usually take years of planning and force launches to become incredibly expensive. We argue here for cheap, ...
Location Recognition Using Stereo Vision
(1989-10-01)
A mobile robot must be able to determine its own position in the world. To support truly autonomous navigation, we present a system that builds and maintains its own models of world locations and uses these models to ...
Stereo Feature Matching in Disparity Space
(1989-09-01)
This paper describes a new method for matching, validating, and disambiguating features for stereo vision. It is based on the Marr-Poggio- Grimson stereo matching algorithm which uses zero-crossing contours in ...
Consensus Knowledge Acquisition
(1989-12-01)
We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging ...
