A Stochastic Approach To Stereo Vision
A stochastic optimization approach to stereo matching is presented. The approach provides a dense array of disparities, eliminating the need for interpolation.

Using Generic Geometric Knowledge To Delineate Cultural Objects In Aerial Imagery
We present a paradigm for discovering the outlines of arbitrarily complex cultural objects in aerial imagery.

A System For Reasoning In Dynamic Domains: Fault Diagnosis On The Space Shuttle
This report describes a reactive system for reasoning about and performing complex tasks in dynamic environments. A powerful and theoretically sound scheme for representing and reasoning about actions and processes…
-
Evidential Knowledge-Based Computer Vision
In this paper, we discuss some of the differences between the DS theory and some popular Bayesian-based approaches to effecting the reasoning task.

Notes on Inference: A Somewhat Skewed Survey
It is widely agreed that any reasonable AI system has to reason. Once it is agreed why that must be so, one can go on to look at alternative conceptions of what reasoning consist…
-
AI Knowledge Bases and Databases
In which the author expresses general skepticism about proposals for a trouble free marriage of AI Knowledge Bases and Databases (narrowly and tendentiously construed.) The author argues, as well, against a shotgun wedding.

The California History-Social Sciences Framework: A Case Study In Implementation Process Analysis
-
Hierarchical Planning: Definition and Implementation
There is considerable ambiguity involved in hierarchical planning. We present a definition of the latter, and examine several of the reasons for this confusion.
-
A General Selection Criterion For Inductive Inference
This paper presents a general criterion for measuring the degree to which any given theory can be considered a good explanation of a particular body of data. A formal definition…

Synchronization Of Multiagent Plans Using A Temporal Logic Theorem Prover
Following an approach suggested by Georgeff, this paper considers the use of synchronizing primitives to resolve conflicts and produce a plan that is as unrestrictive as possible. In a sense,…

The DARPA / DMA Image Understanding Testbed System Manager’s Manual
The primary purpose of the Image Understanding (IU) Testbed is to provide a means for transferring technology from the DARPA-sponsored IU research program to DMA and other organizations in the…

One-Eyed Stereo: A Unified Strategy To Recover Shape From A Single Image
In this paper we contend that the distinct assumptions made in each of these schemes must be tantamount to providing a second (virtual) image of the original scene, and that…
