Organick, Elliott I.; Lindstrom, Gary E. | Transparent interface between software and hardware versions of ADA compilation units | The Ada-to-Silicon project at Utah is developing a methodology (and associated software and hardware) for the high level testing of Ada compilation units that are represented as hardware components (circuitry). There are two motivations for this research. | Ada-to-Silicon; ADA compilation units | 1983 |

Henderson, Thomas C.; Hansen, Charles D. | A fault tolerant sensor scheme | Multi-sensor systems pose the problem of how to coherently and efficiently treat the data provided by the various sensors. However. the availability of greater numbers of sensors also broadens the ability to build fault tolerant sensor systems. We define a framework in which sensors can be abstractl... | Multi-sensor systems; Logical sensors | 1983 |

Organick, Elliott I.; Lindstrom, Gary E. | Transforming an Ada program unit to silicon and verifying its behavior in an Ada environment: a first experiment | Microelectronics technology has advanced so rapidly and been so successful that we are new having to build large systems with a multitude of diverse, interacting components. Some components of these systems exhibit distinct architectures and may, in fact, be implemented following different choices o... | Transformation; Ada program units; Silicon | 1983 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Pattern recognition in a multi-sensor environment | Current pattern recognition systems tend to operate on a single sensor, e.g., a camera. however. the need is now evident for pattern recognition systems which can operate in multi-sensor environments. For example, a robotics workstation may use range finders. cameras, tactile pads, etc. The Multi-se... | Pattern recognition; Multi-sensor; Multi-sensor Kernel System; MKS | 1983 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | The key node method: a highly-parallel alpha-beta algorithm | A new parallel formulation of the alpha-beta algorithm for minimax game tree searching is presented.

Henderson, Thomas C. | Implementing multi-sensor systems in a functional language | We discuss a methodology for configuring systems of sensors using a functional language. To date no such general methodology exists, and existing multi-sensor systems have been hand-crafted around a particular application. Our main point is that the use of abstraction and of functional language fe... | Multi-sensor systems; Multisensor systems | 1984 |

Pickett, Forrest B. | Simulation of Cells | A self-timed cell set and library for the design of integrated circuits is presented.

Keller, Robert M. | Semantics of networks containing indeterminate operators | We discuss a denotational semantics for networks containing indeterminate operators. Our approach is based on modelling a networks by the set of all its possible behaviors. Our notion of behavior is a sequence of computational actions. The primitive computational action is an event: the appearance o... | 1984 | |

Bhanu, Bir | Shape matching of two-dimensional objects | In this paper we present results in the areas of shape matching of nonoccluded and occluded two-dimensional objects. Shape matching is viewed as a "segment matching" problem. Unlike the previous work, the technique is based on a stochastic labeling procedure which explicitly maximizes a criterion ... | Shape matching; Two-dimensional objects; Segment matching | 1984 |

Bhanu, Bir | Representation and shape matching of 3-D objects | A three-dimensional scene analysis system for the shape matching of real world 3-D objects is presented. Various issues related to representation and modeling of 3-D objects are addressed. A new method for the approximation of 3-D objects by a set of planar faces is discussed.

Panangaden, Prakash | Abstract interpretation and indeterminacy | We present a semantic theory that allows us to discuss the semantics of indeterminate operators in a dataflow network. The assumption is made that the language in which the indeterminate operators are written has a construct that allows for the testing of availability of data on input lines. We then... | Semantics; Indeterminate operators | 1984 |

Bhanu, Bir | Segmentation of complex outdoor scenes | A new simpler approach to image segmentation via recursive region splitting and merging is presented. Unlike other techniques the kernel of splitting is based on a generalization of a two class gradient relaxation method and merging uses a statistical analysis of variance. | Image segmentation; Outdoor scenes; Recursive region splitting; Segmentation algorithm | 1985 |

Henderson, Thomas C.; Bhanu, Bir | CAGD based 3-D visual recognition | A coherent automated manufacturing system needs to include CAD/CAM, computer vision, and object manipulation. Currently, most systems which support CAD/CAM do not provide for vision or manipulation and similarly, vision and manipulation systems incorporate no explicit relation to CAD/CAM models.

Henderson, Thomas C. | The importance of unknows in Epidemiologic studies | 1. Epidemiologic study data often include omitted/unobtainable responses (unknowns). In most cases, unknowns are eliminated during data-reduction to facilitate analysis. We examined the effect that elimination of unknowns would have on mortality calculations using data on newborns admitted to a newb... | Unknowns; Mortality calculations | 1985 |
