The Delta Tree: An Object-Centered Approach to Image-Based Rendering
(1997-05-02)
This paper introduces the delta tree, a data structure that represents an object using a set of reference images. It also describes an algorithm for generating arbitrary re-projections of an object by traversing its ...
Direct Methods for Estimation of Structure and Motion from Three Views
(1996-12-01)
We describe a new direct method for estimating structure and motion from image intensities of multiple views. We extend the direct methods of Horn- and-Weldon to three views. Adding the third view enables us to solve ...
Lens Distortion Calibration Using Point Correspondences
(1996-12-01)
This paper describes a new method for lens distortion calibration using only point correspondences in multiple views, without the need to know either the 3D location of the points or the camera locations. The standard ...
Corpus-Based Techniques for Word Sense Disambiguation
(1998-05-27)
The need for robust and easily extensible systems for word sense disambiguation coupled with successes in training systems for a variety of tasks using large on-line corpora has led to extensive research into corpus-based ...
General Purpose Parallel Computation on a DNA Substrate
(1996-12-01)
In this paper I describe and extend a new DNA computing paradigm introduced in Blumberg for building massively parallel machines in the DNA-computing models described by Adelman, Cai et. al., and Liu et. al. Employing ...
Visible Decomposition: Real-Time Path Planning in Large Planar Environments
(1998-06-01)
We describe a method called Visible Decomposition for computing collision-free paths in real time through a planar environment with a large number of obstacles. This method divides space into local visibility graphs, ...
Parallel Function Application on a DNA Substrate
(1996-12-01)
In this paper I present a new model that employs a biological (specifically DNA -based) substrate for performing computation. Specifically, I describe strategies for performing parallel function application in the ...
Phase Space Navigator: Towards Automating Control Synthesis in Phase Spaces for Nonlinear Control Systems
(1991-04-01)
We develop a novel autonomous control synthesis strategy called Phase Space Navigator for the automatic synthesis of nonlinear control systems. The Phase Space Navigator generates global control laws by synthesizing ...
Nonlinear Analog Networks for Image Smoothing and Segmentation
(1991-01-01)
Image smoothing and segmentation algorithms are frequently formulatedsas optimization problems. Linear and nonlinear (reciprocal) resistivesnetworks have solutions characterized by an extremum principle. Thus,sappropriately ...
The Multi-Scale Veto Model: A Two-Stage Analog Network for Edge Detection and Image Reconstruction
(1992-03-01)
This paper presents the theory behind a model for a two-stage analog network for edge detection and image reconstruction to be implemented in VLSI. Edges are detected in the first stage using the multi-scale veto rule, ...
