Warnock, John E. | A hidden line algorithm for halftone picture representation | In exploring applications in computer graphics, one finds quickly that the representation of three dimensional objects in picture form is both a desirable and necessary capability. Applications dealing with any form of spatial design or with visual environment simulation need the ability to represen... | Halftone picture representation; Spatial design | 1968 |

Parke, Frederic Ira | A parametric model for human faces | This report presents a computer model for the representation of human faces. This three-dimensional, parametric model produces shaded facial images.

Gouraud, Henri | A programmer's guide to PDP-10 euler | This manual describes the EULER language as implemented on the DEC PDP-10 computer. EULER is a block-structured language, similar to Algol-60 but simplified by omitting type declarations and by altering the way procedures are defined and called. PDP-10 EULER includes features for list-and array-mani... | EULER language | 1970 |

Watkins, Gary Scott | A real time visible surface algorithm | With the increasing use of computer graphics, a need is growing for a processor capable of displaying solid objects. Environmental simulation and architectural modeling are only two areas that would benefit from such a diplay processor.

Callahan, Michael Wayne | Acoustic signal processing based on the short-time spectrum | The frequency domain representation of a time signal afforded by the Fourier transform is a powerful tool in acoustic signal processing. The usefulness of this representation is rooted in the mechanisms of sound production and perception.

Crow, Franklin C. | The aliasing problem in computer-synthesized shaded images | This paper describes work toward improving the quality of computer-synthesized shaded images. Current (practical) hidden-surface algorithms produce an image whose precision is strictly limited by the number of picture elements. Problems caused by this limitation are described and explained in the t... | aliasing problem; shaded images; hidden-surface algorithms | 1976 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Alpha-beta pruning on evolving game trees | The alpha-beta strategy is a widely used method for economizing on the size of game trees. Heretofore, its application has been limited to depth-first tree growth in recursive search functions. However, many modern game players use retentive (i.e. coroutine-based) control to achieve greater attentio... | Alpha-beta pruning; Game trees | 1979 |

Greenfield, Harvey | An application of computer graphics: two concurrent investigations within the medical field | The aim of this project is to apply new or recently developed computer graphic techniques to a particular discipline with the thought of broadening its research capabilities. The discipline chosen, that of medicine, has emphasis places on the area of hemodynamics. It is seen that computer graphics m... | Computer graphic techniques | 1971 |

Keller, Robert M. | An approach to determinacy proofs | It is known that any parallel program graph composed of continuous operators itself represents a continuous function. In other words, the network is determinate in the sense that for a given input, the output is unique, independent of the timing of the constituent operators. This result is applied t... | Parallel program graph; Determinacy proofs | 1978 |

Keller, Robert M.; Lindstrom, Gary E. | An architecture for a loosely-coupled parallel processor | An architecture for a large (e. g. 1000 processor) parallel computer is presented. The processors are loosely-coupled, in the sense that communication among them is fully asynchronous, and each processor is generally not unduly delayed by any immediate need for specific data values. The network supp... | Loosely-coupled; Parallel processors | 1978 |

Newman, William M. | An experimental display programming language for the PDP-10 computer | An experimental language for display programming, called DIAL, has been developed for the PDP-10 and the UNIVAC 1559 display. It is experimental in the sense that it was originally conceived as a means of testing out some ideas, and the best way to test them seemed to be to produce a language that ... | Display programming; DIAL; Display Algol | 1970 |

Pulsipher, Dennis Carl | Application of adaptive noise cancellation to noise reduction in audio signals | The LMS adaptive noise cancellation algorithm has been applied to the removal of high-level white noise from audio signals. Simulations and actual acoustically recorded signals have been processed successfully, with excellent agreement between the results obtained from simulations and the results ob... | Noise cancellation; Noise reduction; White noise; LMS algorithm | 1979 |

Boll, Steven F. | Application of the saber method for improved spectral analysis of noisy speech | A stand alone noise suppression algorithm is described for reducing the spectral effects of acoustically added noise in speech. A fundamental result is developed which shows that the spectral magnitude of speech plus noise can be effectively approximated as the sum of magnitudes of speech and noise.... | Noise suppression algorithm; SABER method | 1977 |

Riesenfeld, Richard F. | The application of total positivity to computer aided curve and surface design | Of particular importance in an interactive curve and surface design system is the interface to the user. The mathematical model employed in the system must be sufficiently flexible for interaction between designer and machine to converge to a satisfactory result. The mathematical theory of Total Pos... | interactive curves; total positivity | 1979 |
