We present a new contour analysis technique to detect people in thermal imagery. Background-subtraction is first used to identify local regions-of-interest. Gradient information w...
The matching of planar shapes can be cast as a problem of finding the shortest path through a graph spanned by the two shapes, where the nodes of the graph encode the local simil...
Potentially, the advantages of marker-passing over local connectionist techniques for associa tive inference are (1) the ability to differen tiate variable bindings, and (2) r...
This paper investigates decision-theoretic planning in sophisticated autonomous agents operating in environments of real-world complexity. An example might be a planetary rover ex...
We present a new contour-based background-subtraction technique to extract foreground objects in widely varying thermal imagery. Statistical background-subtraction is first used t...
