Abstract. We present a qualitative shape description which has previously been proven to be useful for object categorisation. The description is based on a set of shape primitives ...
In this paper, we define a continuum of modeling styles, ranging from collections of very simple agents on one end to collections of very complex agents at the other end, and a s...
Morse theory shows how the topology of an implicit surface is affected by its function’s critical points, whereas catastrophe theory shows how these critical points behave as th...
We present an active approach for discriminating different materials by impulsively contacting (hitting) them, and sensing and interpreting the resulting sounds. In theory, the an...
The performance of an intrusion detector depends on several factors, like its internal architecture and the algorithms it uses. Thus, distinct detectors can behave distinctly when ...
