Kernel-Based Object Tracking
, 2003
"... A new approach toward target representation and localization, the central component in visual tracking of non-rigid objects, is proposed. The feature histogram based target representations are regularized by spatial masking with an isotropic kernel. The masking induces spatially-smooth similarity fu ..."

Three-dimensional object recognition from single two-dimensional images
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1987
"... A computer vision system has been implemented that can recognize threedimensional objects from unknown viewpoints in single gray-scale images. Unlike most other approaches, the recognition is accomplished without any attempt to reconstruct depth information bottom-up from the visual input. Instead, ..."

, three other mechanisms are used that can bridge the gap between the two-dimensional image and knowledge of three-dimensional objects. First, a process of perceptual organization is used to form groupings and structures in the image that are likely to be invariant over a wide range of viewpoints. Second
Fastmap: A fast algorithm for indexing, data-mining and visualization of traditional and multimedia datasets
, 1995
"... A very promising idea for fast searching in traditional and multimedia databases is to map objects into points in k-d space, using k feature-extraction functions, provided by a domain expert [Jag91]. Thus, we can subsequently use highly fine-tuned spatial access methods (SAMs), to answer several ..."

Cluster Ensembles - A Knowledge Reuse Framework for Combining Multiple Partitions
- Journal of Machine Learning Research
, 2002
"... This paper introduces the problem of combining multiple partitionings of a set of objects into a single consolidated clustering without accessing the features or algorithms that determined these partitionings. We first identify several application scenarios for the resultant 'knowledge reuse&ap ..."

(consensus functions). The first combiner induces a similarity measure from the partitionings and then reclusters the objects. The second combiner is based on hypergraph partitioning. The third one collapses groups of clusters into meta-clusters which then compete for each object to determine the combined
The mathematics of infectious diseases
- SIAM Review
, 2000
"... Abstract. Many models for the spread of infectious diseases in populations have been analyzed mathematically and applied to specific diseases. Threshold theorems involving the basic reproduction number R0, the contact number σ, and the replacement number R are reviewed for the classic SIR epidemic a ..."

Values of R0 and σ are estimated for various diseases including measles in Niger and pertussis in the United States. Previous models with age structure
Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Understanding Line Drawings of Scenes with Shadows
- The Psychology of Computer Vision
, 1975
"... this paper, how can we recognize the identity of Figs. 2.1 and 2.2? Do we use' learning and knowledge to interpret what we see, or do we somehow automatically see the world as stable and independent bf lighting? What portions of scenes can we understand from local features alone, and what confi ..."

Survey of clustering data mining techniques
, 2002
"... Accrue Software, Inc. Clustering is a division of data into groups of similar objects. Representing the data by fewer clusters necessarily loses certain fine details, but achieves simplification. It models data by its clusters. Data modeling puts clustering in a historical perspective rooted in math ..."

The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

We present here an implementation of NeTra, a prototype image retrieval system that uses color, texture, shape and spatial location information in segmented image regions to search and retrieve similar regions from the database. A distinguishing aspect of this system is its incorporation of a robu ..."
