Pose-Invariant Face Recognition Using Real and Virtual Views
(1996-03-28)
The problem of automatic face recognition is to visually identify a person in an input image. This task is performed by matching the input face against the faces of known people in a database of faces. Most existing ...
SketchIT: A Sketch Interpretation Tool for Conceptual Mechanical Design
(1996-03-13)
We describe a program called SketchIT capable of producing multiple families of designs from a single sketch. The program is given a rough sketch (drawn using line segments for part faces and icons for springs and ...
The Proceedings of the First PHANToM User's Group Workshop
(1996-12-01)
These proceedings summarize the results of the First PHANToM User's Group Workshop held September 27-30, 1996 MIT. The goal of the workshop was to bring together a group of active users of the PHANToM Haptic Interface ...
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 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 ...
Verb Classes and Alternations in Bangla, German, English, and Korean
(1996-05-06)
In this report, we investigate the relationship between the semantic and syntactic properties of verbs. Our work is based on the English Verb Classes and Alternations of (Levin, 1993). We explore how these classes are ...
Vortices and Rossby-wave radiation on the beta-plane
(University of CambridgeQueens' CollegeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 1996-11-19)
The Earth’s atmosphere and oceans contain strongly swirling coherent structures.
The sphericity of the Earth’s surface, which may be modelled by the beta-effect, is responsible for the motion of these vortices, and also ...
The Effect of a Group of Obstacles on a Flow and Dispersion over a Surface
(University of CambridgeKing's College, 1996-06-18)
In this thesis we develop analytical models for boundary layer flow through a two dimensional group of obstacles , based on the "distributed force" model. An array of
obstacles is represented as a region without solid ...
BRST quantisation and finite temperature field theory
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics, 1996-01-30)
Incremental volume rendering using hierarchical compression
(1996)
The research has been based on the thesis that efficient volume rendering of datasets, contained on the Internet, can be achieved on average personal workstations. We present a new algorithm here for efficient incremental ...
