Many object recognition systems use a small number of pairings of data and model features to compute the 3D transformation from a model coordinate frame into the sensor coordinate system. With perfect image data, these ...

We propose a scheme for indoor place identification based on the recognition of global scene views. Scene views are encoded using a holistic representation that provides low-resolution spatial and spectral information. The ...

This paper presents an approach to recognition where an object is first {\\it aligned} with an image using a small number of pairs of model and image features, and then the aligned model is compared directly against ...

We present an approach to the problem of recognizing three-dimensional objects from line-drawings. In this approach there are no models. The system needs only to be given a single picture of an object; it can then ...

General-purpose computing devices allow us to (1) customize computation after fabrication and (2) conserve area by reusing expensive active circuitry for different functions in time. We define RP-space, a restricted ...

This paper is a compendium of the ideas and issues presented at the Chatham Bars Workshop on Office Semantics. The intent of the workshop was to examine the state of the art in office systems and to elucidate the ...

We present a model for recovering the direction of heading of an observer who is moving relative to a scene that may contain self-moving objects. The model builds upon an algorithm proposed by Rieger and Lawton (1985), ...

We present an algorithm that uses multiple cues to recover shading and reflectance intrinsic images from a single image. Using both color information and a classifier trained to recognize gray-scale patterns, each image ...

We address the computational role that the construction of a complete surface representation may play in the recovery of 3--D structure from motion. We present a model that combines a feature--based structure--from- ...

Any three-dimensional wire-frame object constructed out of parallelograms can be recovered from a single perspective two-dimensional image. A procedure for performing the recovery is given.

It is difficult to fix a problem without being able to reproduce it.However, reproducing a problem is often difficult and time-consuming.This paper proposes a novel algorithm, ReCrash, that generatesmultiple unit tests ...

Shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be effectively strengthened using external prestressed carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. Due to the presence of the external elastic straps, a strengthened ...

This memorandum is a continuation of Memo 8.

The attached paper is a description of the LISP system starting with the machine-independent system of recursive functions of symbolic expressions. This seems to be a better point of view for looking at the system than the ...

An efficient Lagrangian formulation of manipulator dynamics has been developed. The efficiency derives from recurrence relations for the velocities, accelerations, and generalized forces. The number of additions and ...

Naming is a central element of a distributed or network system design. Appropriate design choices are central. This paper explores a taxonomy of naming systems, and engineering tradeoffs as an aid to the namespace designer. ...

Many aerospace companies are currently making the transition to providing fully-integrated product-service offerings in which their products are designed from the outset with life-cycle considerations in mind. Based on ...

We analyse the behaviour of black-body radiation in theories of electromagnetism which allow the electron charge and the fine structure constant to vary in space and time. We show that such theories can be expressed as ...

We develop a class of differential motion trackers that automatically stabilize when in finite domains. Most differ-ential trackers compute motion only relative to one previous frame, accumulating errors indefinitely. We ...

Methods for resolving kinematic redundancies of manipulators by the effect on joint torque are examined. When the generalized inverse is formulated in terms of accelerations and incorporated into the dynamics, the ...
