Ingebretsen, Robert Bergstrom | Log spectral estimation for stationary and nonstationary processes | This research is concerned with two log spectral estimators in the context of both stationary and nonstationary signals. They differ because in one smoothing is realized before the logarithmic transformation, while the other is smoothed in the logarithimc domain. It is shown that for stationary sign... | Log spectral estimation; Nonstationary processes; Log spectral estimators | 1975 |

Crow, Franklin C. | The aliasing problem in computer-synthesized shaded images | This paper describes work toward improving the quality of computer-synthesized shaded images.

McDonald, Lee Edwin | Image recognition using generalized correlation | This paper investigates the use of generalized cross-correlation in pattern matching when the objects may be of one or two dimensions.
