Fast Parallel Surface Interpolation With Applications To Digital Cartography
In this paper, we present a surface interpolation algorithm based on variational splines which is well suited to massively parallel computers.

Recognizing Objects In A Natural Environment: A Contextual Vision (CVS)
We identify a number of weaknesses in current recognition systems and propose specific mechanisms for dealing with some of these problems.

The Vision Problem: Exploiting Parallel Computation
This technical report consists of papers presented at the session wherein the major problems in computer vision are outlined, and the "signals to symbols"and the "monolithic computing" (MC) approaches to…

Classification-Based Tracking Of Objects and Material
SRI’s KNIFE image analysis system can be used for tracking objects and material classes from one image to another.
-
Coarse Coding For Material and Object Identification
A new coarse-coding technique is presented for labeling image pixels and regions to match exemplars or multivariate material signatures.
-
Integrated Split/Merge Image Segmentation
The KNIFE segmentation algorithm splits regions along object boundaries, thus avoiding rectangular quadtree artifacts and establishing a context for good statistical decisions.
-
Learning and Recognition In Natural Environments
We present a system for learning descriptions of objects, and for subsequently recognizing learned objects, that functions in outdoor, natural environments.

Stereo Matching By Hierarchical, Microcanonical Annealing
An improved stochastic stereo-matching algorithm incorporates two substantial modifications to an earlier version: a new variation of simulated annealing.
-
Hierarchical Warp Stereo
This paper describes a new technique for use in the automatic production of digital terrain models from stereo pairs of aerial images.
-
Shading Into Texture
The fractal surface model provides a formalism that is competent to describe such natural 3-D surfaces and, in addition, is able to predict human perceptual judgments of smoothness versus roughness.
-
Stereo Integral Equation
A new approach to the formulation and solution of the problem of recovering scene topography from a stereo image pair is presented.

A Morphological Recognizer With Syntactic and Phonological Rules
This paper describes a morphological analyzer which, when parsing a word, uses two sets of rules: describing the syntax of words, and rules describing facts about orthography.
