Decision Uncertainty Minimization and Autonomous Information Gathering
(2013-08-22)
Over the past several decades, technologies for remote sensing and exploration have be- come increasingly powerful but continue to face limitations in the areas of information gathering and analysis. These limitations ...
Learning and recognition of hybrid manipulation tasks in variable environments using probabilistic flow tubes
(2012-08-23)
Robots can act as proxies for human operators in environments where a human operator is not present or cannot directly perform a task, such as in dangerous or remote situations. Teleoperation is a common interface for ...
Kintinuous: Spatially Extended KinectFusion
(2012-07-19)
In this paper we present an extension to the KinectFusion algorithm that permits dense mesh-based mapping of extended scale environments in real-time. This is achieved through (i) altering the original algorithm such that ...
Viewstamped Replication Revisited
(2012-07-23)
This paper presents an updated version of Viewstamped Replication, a replication technique that handles failures in which nodes crash. It describes how client requests are handled, how the group reorganizes when a replica ...
Epistemic Implementation and The Arbitrary-Belief Auction
(2012-06-22)
In settings of incomplete information we put forward an epistemic framework for designing mechanisms that successfully leverage the players' arbitrary higher-order beliefs, even when such beliefs are totally wrong, and ...
Patch complexity, finite pixel correlations and optimal denoising
(2012-10-07)
Image restoration tasks are ill-posed problems, typically solved withpriors. Since the optimal prior is the exact unknown density of natural images,actual priors are only approximate and typically restricted to small ...
Moebius Language Reference, Version 1.2
(2014-04-09)
Moebius is a representation and interface language based on a subset of English. It is designed for use as a means of encoding information and as a means of conveying information between software components and other ...
Fast and Robust Pyramid-based Image Processing
(2011-11-15)
Multi-scale manipulations are central to image editing but they are also prone to halos. Achieving artifact-free results requires sophisticated edgeaware techniques and careful parameter tuning. These shortcomings were ...
A Method for Fast, High-Precision Characterization of Synthetic Biology Devices
(2012-04-07)
Engineering biological systems with predictable behavior is a foundational goal of synthetic biology. To accomplish this, it is important to accurately characterize the behavior of biological devices. Prior characterization ...
Spectral Alignment of Networks
(2015-02-18)
Network alignment refers to the problem of finding a bijective mapping across vertices of two or more graphs to maximize the number of overlapping edges and/or to minimize the number of mismatched interactions across ...
