Furse, Cynthia M. | Antenna optimization for vehicular environments | Abstract? This paper presents a multi-antenna optimization for communication in a Rockwell T-39 Sabreliner, a mid-size aircraft with a metallic body. The aircraft channel at 2.45 GHz is modeled using site specific 3D ray-tracing software. Added effects from system details including the antenna radi... | 2011 | |

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 |

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 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Arc and path consistency revisited | Mackworth and Freuder have analyzed the time complexity of several constraint satisfaction algorithms [4]. We present here new algorithms for arc and path consistency and show that the arc consistency algorithm is optimal in time complexity and of the same order space complexity as the earlier algor... | Arc consistency; Path consistency; Constraint satisfaction algorithms | 1985 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Architecting efficient interconnects for large caches with CACTI 6.0 | Efficiently executing multithreaded applications on future multicores will require fast intercore communication. Most of this communication happens via reads and writes to large shared caches in the memory hierarchy.

Myers, Chris J. | Architectural synthesis of timed asynchronous systems | This paper describes a new method for architectural synthesis of timed asynchronous systems. Due to the variable delays associated with asynchronous resources, implicit schedules are created by the addition of supplementary constraints between resources. Since the number of schedules grows exponenti... | 1999 | |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Are the extrinsic muscles better suited for signaling joint angles or finger tip location? | We used a biomechanical model of the human long finger to determine whether the extrinsic muscles are better suited for estimating the finger's joint angles or for estimating location of the finger tip. We found that two of the extrinsic muscles together could provide information sufficient to direc... | Extrinsic muscles; Metacarpophalangeal joint; Biomechanical models | 1997 |

Gooch, Bruce; Reinhard, Erik; Moulding, Chris; Shirley, Peter S. | Artistic composition for image creation | Altering the viewing parameters of a 3D object results in computer graphics images of varying quality. One aspect of image quality is the composition of the image. While the esthetic properties of an image are subjective, some heuristics used by artists to create images can be approximated quanti... | Image creation; Image quality | 2000 |

Shirley, Peter S.; Gooch, Bruce | Artistic vision: painterly rendering using computer vision techniques | We present a method that takes a raster image as input and produces a painting-like image composed of strokes rather than pixels. Unlike previous automatic painting methods, we attempt to keep the number of brush-stroke small. This is accomplished by first segmenting the image into features, finding... | Painting-like image; Raster image; Painterly rendering | 2000 |

Sikorski, Kris | Asymptotic near optimality of the bisection method | The bisection method is shown to possess the nearly best rate of convergence for infinitely differentiable functions having zeros of arbitrary multiplicity. If the multiplicity of zeros is bounded, methods are known which have asymptotically at least quadratic rate of convergence. | Bisection method | 1988 |
