Bhanu, Bir | Recognition of 2-D occluded objects and their manipulation by PUMA 560 robot | A new method based on a cluster-structure paradigm is presented for the recognition of 2-D partially occluded objects. This method uses the line segments which comprise the boundary of an object in the recognition process. The length of each of these segments as well as the angle between successive ... | PUMA 560 robot; Cluster-structure paradigm; 2-D partially occluded objects | 1985 |

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 |

Mathews, V. John | An efficient algorithm for lattice filter/predictor | ABSTRACT An efficient method for updating the lattice filter/predictor coefficients using the sign algorithm is introduced. The pertinent coefficients are updated using only the signs of the estimation errors at each stage. This method requires less number of multiplications than other adaptive la... | | 1985 |

Cohen, Elaine | A new local basis for designing with tensioned splines | Recently there has been a great deal of interest in the use of "tension" parameters to augment control mesh vertices as design handles for piecewise polynomials. A particular local cubic basis called p-splines, which has been termed a "generalization of B-splines", has been proposed as an appropriat... | Tensioned splines | 1985 |

Panangaden, Prakash | Verification of systolic arrays: a stream functional approach | We illustrate that the verification of systolic architectures can be carried out using techniques developed in the context of verification of programs. This is achieved by a decomposition of the original problem into separately proving the correctness of the data representation and of the individual... | Verification; systolic arrays; stream function | 1985 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | The synthesis of visual recognition strategies | 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. CA... | visual recognition; automated manufacturing systems; object manipulation | 1985 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | 2-D scene analysis using split-level relaxation | We present a new method for applying multiple semantic constraints based on discrete relaxation. A separate graph is maintained for each constraint relation and used in parallel to achieve a consistent labeling. This permits both local and global analysis without recourse to complete graphs. Here l... | Discrete relaxation; Split-level relaxation | 1985 |

Bhanu, Bir | 3-D model building for computer vision | This paper presents a Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) based approach for building 3-D models which can be used for the recognition of 3-D objects for industrial machine vision applications. The objects are designed using the Alpha_1 CAGD system developed at the University of Utah. A new metho... | CAGD; 3-D models; Machine vision | 1985 |

Mathews, V. John | Analysis of the short-time unbiased spectrum estimation algorithm | Abstract- The short-time unbiased spectrum estimation (STUSE) algorithm is analyzed and expressions for the mean and variance of the spectrum estimates are derived. The STUSE algorithm deliberately adds biased spectrum estimates in order to yield unbiased estimates and at the same time have excellen... | | 1985 |

Swope, Steven M. | Simon II kernel reference manual | The principal objective of Simon II is to provide a flexible and adaptable framework for constructing simulators for a wide variety of parallel systems. A simulator consists of a set of software building blocks. Each building block, i.e. object, simulates a specific component of the parallel system... | Simon II; Kernels; Simulators; Parallel systems | 1986 |

Grodstein, Joel | User's manual for the sisyphus simulation environment | This report describes how to create and simulate a design with Sisyphus. Inasmuch as Sisyphus is written in Symbolics-Lisp, some familiarity with both Lisp and with Symbolics computers is presumed. In addition, the concepts presented here presume an acquaintance with [3]. First, a disclaimer ? this... | Sisyphus; Simulation environment; Symbolics-Lisp; Symbolics computers | 1986 |

Fujimoto, Richard M. | On synthesizing systolic arrays from recurrence equations with linear dependencies | We present a technique for synthesizing systolic architectures from Recurrence Equations. A class of such equations (Recurrence Equations with Linear Dependencies) is defined and and the problem of mapping such equations onto a two dimensional architecture is studied. We show that such a mapping is ... | Recurrence equations | 1986 |
