Parallel Methods for Synthesizing Whole-Hand Grasps from Generalized Prototypes
(1994-01-01)
This report addresses the problem of acquiring objects using articulated robotic hands. Standard grasps are used to make the problem tractable, and a technique is developed for generalizing these standard grasps to ...
Maygen: A Symbolic Debugger Generation System
(1993-05-01)
With the development of high-level languages for new computer architectures comes the need for appropriate debugging tools as well. One method for meeting this need would be to develop, from scratch, a symbolic debugger ...
Internal Camera Calibration Using Rotation and Geometric Shapes
(1993-02-01)
This paper describes a simple method for internal camera calibration for computer vision. This method is based on tracking image features through a sequence of images while the camera undergoes pure rotation. The ...
Translucent Procedures, Abstraction without Opacity
(1993-10-01)
This report introduces TRANSLUCENT PROCEDURES as a new mechanism for implementing behavioral abstractions. Like an ordinary procedure, a translucent procedure can be invoked, and thus provides an obvious way to capture ...
The Design of Shape from Motion Constraints
(1993-09-01)
This report presents a set of representations methodologies and tools for the purpose of visualizing, analyzing and designing functional shapes in terms of constraints on motion. The core of the research is an interactive ...
View-Based Strategies for 3D Object Recognition
(1995-04-21)
A persistent issue of debate in the area of 3D object recognition concerns the nature of the experientially acquired object models in the primate visual system. One prominent proposal in this regard has expounded the ...
Vector-Based Integration of Local and Long-Range Information in Visual Cortex
(1996-01-18)
Integration of inputs by cortical neurons provides the basis for the complex information processing performed in the cerebral cortex. Here, we propose a new analytic framework for understanding integration within ...
The Logical Problem of Language Change
(1995-12-01)
This paper considers the problem of language change. Linguists must explain not only how languages are learned but also how and why they have evolved along certain trajectories and not others. While the language ...
The Unsupervised Acquisition of a Lexicon from Continuous Speech
(1996-01-18)
We present an unsupervised learning algorithm that acquires a natural-language lexicon from raw speech. The algorithm is based on the optimal encoding of symbol sequences in an MDL framework, and uses a hierarchical ...
Example Based Learning for View-Based Human Face Detection
(1995-01-24)
We present an example-based learning approach for locating vertical frontal views of human faces in complex scenes. The technique models the distribution of human face patterns by means of a few view-based "face'' and ...
