Computational Studies in the Interpretation of Structure and Motion: Summary and Extension
(1983-03-01)
Computational studies of the interpretation of structure from motion examine the conditions under which three-dimensional structure can be recovered from motion in the image. The first part of this paper summarizes the ...
Tactile Recognition and Localization Using Object Models: The Case of Polyhedra on a Plane
(1983-03-01)
This paper discusses how data from multiple tactile sensors may be used to identify and locate one object, from among a set of known objects. We use only local information from sensors: (1) the position of contact ...
Computational Introspection
(1983-02-01)
Introspection is the process of thinking about one's own thoughts and feelings. In this paper, I discuss recent attempts to make computational systems that exhibit introspective behavior: [Smith, 982], [Weyhrauch, ...
Representations for Reasoning About Change
(1983-04-01)
This paper explores representations used to reason about objects which change over time and the processes which cause changes. Specifically, we are interested in solving a problem known as geologic interpretation. To ...
An Extremum Principle for Shape from Contour
(1983-06-01)
An extremum principle is developed that determines three-dimensional surface orientation from a two-dimensional contour. The principle maximizes the ratio of the area to the square of the perimeter, a measure of the ...
Dynamic Scaling of Manipulator Trajectories
(1983-01-01)
A fundamental time-scaling property of manipulator dynamics has been identified that allows modification of movement speed without complete dynamics recalculation. By exploiting this property, it can be determined ...
Dynamics of Manipulators with Less Than One Degree of Freedom
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1983-01)
We have developed an efficient Lagrangian formulation of manipulators with small numbers of degrees of freedom. The efficiency derives from the lack of velocities, accelerations, and generalized forces. The number of ...
An Empirical Study of Program Modification Histories
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1983-03)
Large programs undergo many changes before they run in a satisfactory manner. For many large programs, modification histories are kept which record every change that is made to the program. By studying these records, ...
The Connection Machine RAM Chip
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1983-01-03)
This document describes the three transistor NMOS dynamic ram circuit used in the connection machine. It was designed and implemented by Brewster Kahle, with the assistance of Jim Cherry, Danny Hillis and Tom Knight. ...
EMACS Manual for TWENEX Users
(1983-03-01)
A reference manual for the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. This manual corresponds to EMACS version 162.
