Hu, Helen H.; Creem, Sarah H.; Gooch, Amy A.; Thompson, William B. | Visual cues for perceiving distances from objects to surfaces (Abstract) | An accurate perception of the distance between an object and a nearby surface can increase a viewer?s sense of presence in an immersive environment, particularly when a user is performing actions that affect or are affected by this distance. Two experiments were conducted examining the effectiven... | Distance perception; immersive environment | 2002-02-03 |

Sikorski, Kris | A note on optimal algorithms for fixed points | We present a constructive lemma that we believe will make possible the design of nearly optimal 0(dlog | ) cost algorithms for computing eresidual approximations to the fixed points of d-dimensional nonexpansive mappings with respect to the infinity norm. This lemma is a generalization of a two-... | Fixed points; Constructive lemma | 2009 |

Parker, Steven G.; Johnson, Christopher R. | Interactive manipulation of contour data using the layers program | The "layers" program is useful for visualizing and editing large sets of contour data. These datasets arise frequently when trying to extract geometry from MRI slices. Due to the imprecise nature of the MR imaging and segmentation processes, the contours extracted may not accurately reflect the huma... | Contour data; Layers program; MRI slices | 1994 |

Kniss, Joe; Ikits, Milan; Lefohn, Aaron; Hansen, Charles D. | Closed-form approximations to the volume rendering integral with Gaussian transfer functions | In direct volume rendering, transfer functions map data points to optical properties such as color and opacity. We have found transfer functions based on the Gaussian primitive to be particularly useful for multivariate volumes, because they are simple and rely on a limited number of free paramet... | Volume rendering | 2003-07-25 |

Breaderson, Dean J. | The I3Stick: an inexpensive, immersive, interaction device | Virtual environments require interaction devices that are intuitive and ergonomic, yet capable of many input parameters. Many devices satisfying these requirements can be expensive, difficult to manipulate, and often require the integration of large software libraries with existing applications. We ... | Virtual environments; I3Stick; Interaction devices | 1999 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Reaction-diffusion processes as a computational paradigm | Turing introduced reaction diffusion systems (RD-systems) as a mechanism which made possible the differentiation of morphological structure. We have shown how these systems can be used to provide an information network for smart sensor systems. However, we propose here that reaction diffusion system... | Reaction diffusion systems; RD-systems; Computational paradigm | 2000 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Shortest paths in sensor snow | We propose to deploy and exploit a large number of non-mobile inexpensive distributed sensor and communication devices (called Smart Sensor Snow) to obtain information and guide mobile robots over a wide geographic area. Sensors may be of diverse physical natures: acoustic, IR, seismic, chemical, ma... | Sensor snow; Distributed sensor; Smart Sensor Snow; Sensors | 1999 |

Michell, Nick | A gallium arsenide mutual exclusion element | A mutual exclusion element is a key component in building asynchronous and self-timed circuits. As part of our effort to design high performance self-timed circuits, we have designed a mutual exclusion element in gallium arsenide. This circuit has been fabricated in a 1.2? process and tested. A test... | Mutual exclusion element; Self-timed circuits | 1993 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Agent-based engineering drawing analysis | Interpretation of paper drawings has received a good deal of attention over the last decade. Related areas such as direct interpretation of human drawings (HCI), search and indexing of graphics databases, and knowledge representation in the domain of graphics and drawing understanding have also s... | Interpretation; Human drawings; HCI; Graphic databases | 2002-02-04 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Apparent symmetries in range data | A procedure for extracting symmetrical features from the output of a range scanner is described which is insensitive to sensor noise and robust with respect to object surface complexity. The acquisition of symmetry descriptors for rigid bodies from a range image was in this case motivated by the ne... | Symmetry descriptors; Range data; Range scanner; Dextrous manipulation systems | 1987 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Leadership protocol for S-Nets | Smart Sensor Networks are collections of non-mobile devices (S-elements) which can compute, communicate and sense the environment; they must be able to create local groups of devices (S-cliques). We propose here a protocol to solve the leadership problems for S-Nets. We sketch the correctness of thi... | Smart Sensor Networks; S-Nets | 2001 |

Boll, Steven F. | Improving linear prediction analysis of noisy speech by predictive noise cancellation | The analysis of speech using Linear Prediction is reformulated to account for the presence of acoustically added noise and a technique is presented for reducing its effect on parameter estimation. The method, called Predictive Noise Cancellation (PNC), modifies the noisy speech autocorrelations ... | Linear prediction; Predictive Noise Cancellation; Noisy speech; Sppech analysis | 1977 |

Shirley, Peter S.; Parker, Steven G. | Single sample soft shadows | A simple extension to ray tracing is presented that creates visually plausible "soft" shadows with little extra computation. Although these soft shadows are approximate, they are robust and have penumbra widths that behave in a believable way, including accurate placement of singularities where penu... | Soft shadows; Ray tracing; Penumbra width; Image generation | 1998 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Evolutionary teleomorphology | The physical layout of organs and neural structures in biological systems is important to their functioning, and is the result of evolutionary selection forces. We believe this is true even at the individual neuron level, and should be accounted for in any bio-based approach. In particular, when tr... | Evolutionary teleomorphology; Bio-based approach; Physical layout problem; PLP; Neurons; Nodes | 1995 |
