How Near is Near?
(1976-02-01)
This paper presents a system for understanding the concept of near and far, weighing such factors as purpose of the judgement, dimensions of the objects, absolute size of the distance, and size of the distance relative ...
The Text-Justifier TJ6
(1976-05-01)
This memo, intended as both a reference and user's manual describes the text-justifying program TJ6, which compiles a neat output document from a sloppy input manuscript. TJ6 can justify and fill text; automatically ...
The TV Turtle: A Logo Graphics System for Raster Displays
(1976-06-01)
Until recently, most computer graphics systems have been oriented toward the display of line drawins, continually refreshing the screen from a display list of vectors. Developments such as plasma panel displays and ...
Occlusion Clues and Subjective Contours
(1976-06-01)
The paper describes some experiments with a visual agnosia patient who has lost the abillity to perceive subjective contours. The patient's interpretations of simple examples of occlusion indicate that he fails to ...
Development of Musical Intelligence II: Children's Representation of Pitch Relations
(1976-12-01)
The work reported here is an outgrowth of studies in the development of musical intelligence and learning that have been underway for about four years. Beginning as one of the activities in the LOGO Lab (a part of the ...
Proposal to the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(1976-05-01)
This is the substance of a proposal submitted in June, 1975, for research in the areas of large data bases and intelligent terminals, applications of machine vision and manipulation, basic studies in Artificial ...
Forward Reasoning and Dependency-Directed Backtracking in a System for Computer-Aided Circuit Analysis
(1976-09-01)
We present a rule-based system for computer-aided circuit analysis. The set of rules, called EL, is written in a rule language called ARS. Rules are implemented by ARS as pattern-directed invocation demons monitoring ...
Representation and Recognition of the Spatial Organization of Three-Dimensional
(1976-08-01)
A method is given for representing 3-D shapes. It is based on a hierarchy of stick figures (called 3-D models), where each stick corresponds to an axis in the shape's generalized cone representation. Although the ...
Analysis of Occluding Contour
(1976-10-01)
Almost nothing can be deduced about a general 3-D surface given only its occluding contours in an image, yet contour information is easily and effectively used by us to infer the shape of a surface. Therefore, implicit ...
