The variation of illumination conditions of an object can produce large changes in the image plane, significantly impairing the performance of face verification algorithms. We pre...
Programmable parts orienting is an important capability for exible automation systems. Here we study how a part grasped in an unknown orientation by a force-controlled robot can b...
We present a new 3D shape descriptor based on conformal geometry. Our descriptor is invariant under non-rigid quasi-isometric transformations, such as pose changes of articulated ...
A method is presented for segmenting text into subtopic areas. The proportion of related pairwise words is calculated between adjacent windows of text to determine their lexical s...
Epistemic and doxastic modal logics (Hintikka [1962]), and the logics of theory change and belief revision (Alchourr6net. al. [1985], Giirdenfors [1988]) are used for the represen...
