Circular Scan
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-03)
Previous feature point detectors have been local in their support and have been universally designed for objects without appreciable texture. We have invented (or perhaps reinvented) a scheme using correlation between ...
A Program to Output Stored Pictures
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)
A program called LPTSEE has been written for use with the MIT vision system. LPTSEE makes use of the overprint capability of the line printer to allow the user to output a stored picture image.
The FINDSPACE Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1971-08-03)
The FINDSPACE problem is that of establishing a volume in space where an object of specified dimensions will fit. The problem seems to have two subproblems: the hypothesis generation problem of finding a likely spot to ...
Some Aspects of Medical Diagnosis
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
Since mid July Steve Pauker, Jerome Kassirer, and I (Gerald Jay Sussman) have been observing the diagnostic process of expert physicians with the goal of abstracting the underlying procedures being followed. One purpose ...
A scenario of Planning and Debugging in Electronic Circuit Design
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
The purpose of this short document is to exhibit how a HACKER-like top-down planning and debugging system can be applied to the problem of the design and debugging of simple analog electronic circuits. I believe, and I ...
Quantitative Aspects of the Computation Performed by Visual Cortex in the Cat, With a Note on a Function of Lateral Inhibition
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
A quantitative summary is given of the computation that is performed by visual cortex in the cat. Part of this computation seems to be achieved using a sample-and-average technique; some quantitative features of this ...
Finding Components on a Circuit Board
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-09)
This paper describes a set of programs written in LISP that recognize resistors on circuit boards. The approach leans heavily on a thorough examination of the features found in representative intensity arrays and on ...
The TRACK Program Package
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-08)
A collection of LISP functions has been written to provide vidisector users with the following three line-oriented vision primitives:
(i) given an initial point and an estimated initial direction, track a line in that ...
Tracking Wires on Printed Circuit Boards
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-10)
This working paper describes a collection of LISP programs written to examine the backs of printed circuit boards. These programs find and trace the conductive wires plated on the insulating material. The "pads", or solder ...
Does Vision Need a Special-purpose Language?
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-09)
This paper briefly discusses the following questions: What are the benefits of special-purpose languages? When is a field ready for such a language? Are any parts of our current vision research ready?
