| | Outdoor Self-Localization from Digital Elevation Maps |
| | The recovery of the relative orientation and position (pose) of a camera in a scene, given the resulting 2D image, is a central problem in computer vision known as extrinsic (external) camera calibration. | | | But if point correspondences are used, then the separation between orientation and position is apparently no longer possible because the description of any individual model point in the camera coordinate system depends directly on the translational components of the camera pose with respect to the scene. | | | Actually, after orientation recovery is completed, position recovery can be performed by solving a single linear system and this fact has been exploited in several techniques proposed recently [ |

| | We are currently working on new techniques for computer vision such as shape matching and object recognition with applications in generic object detection in cluttered scenes, pose discrimination, and active vision. | | | In contrast to the standard computer-as-tool view, we envision the machine as a conversational, interactive agent that moves beyond the current generation of information retrieval and visualization tools, and towards systems which can explain the reasons underlying their actions, and interact with human partners to refine queries through natural conversational interaction. | | | To address these and related questions, we are developing an architecture that consists of a tightly coupled pair of systems: a physical robot (Ripley) and a virtual world that reflects Ripley's mental model. |

| | An Industry at Risk |
| | A vision of patents entrenched in the software industry is a vision of stagnation. | | | Copyright protection for computer software is sufficient to preserve the rights of software developers, who rely on the unique combination of algorithms and techniques to produce successful software programs. | | | Most large software companies are by now well aware of the threat that software patents can pose to their business interests, and as a method of protection are attempting to build up "defensive" patent portfolios that can be cross-licensed with other large corporations. |

| | And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - The Terminator (1984) |
| | In insisting upon such an extremity of vision, The Terminator is finally far less credible than a film such as Colossus: The Forbin Project, in which a similar all-powerful computer system takes over the world, but keeps man and his useful opposable digits around to do its dirty work for it. | | | The Terminator’s vision of the future is, however, less well handled. | | | The slaughter at the police station is an unforgettable sequence, with cop after cop blown away not because they pose any real threat, but simply because they get in between the cyborg and its object. |

| | The numerical evaluation of Clifford algebra equations becomes more and more important as Clifford algebra becomes more prominent in applied fields like computer vision, computer graphics and robotics. | | | This ranges from Fourier-Rotor transforms over pose estimation and solving for versors to the teaching of basic Clifford algebra concepts in Euclidean, projective and conformal space. | | | CLU implements the basic Clifford algebra operations and also contains functions to solve multivector equations and to automatically analyze multivectors with regard to their geometric meaning. |

| | To get an idea of just how much of a hurdle current fourth-wave production systems pose to the fifth-wave vision, consider the term one vendor applies to decoupling text from pagination systems. | | | Already production staffers track components through the MediaSphere system using Web-browsing software, eliminating the need for specialized computer systems and costly software front-ends. | | | For example, editors who once filed requests for photos with a librarian can use products like MediaSphere to submit a real-time, plain-language search to the database and view a host of thumbnail images-all through a browser interface. |

| | Abstract: Probabilistic Hausdorff matching |
| | Matching images based on a Hausdorff measure has become popular for computer vision applications. | | | In addition, we show that the optimal model position in a discretized pose space can be located efficiently in this formation and we apply these techniques to a mobile robot self-localization problem. | | | In this paper, we develop a probabilistic formulation of image matching in terms of maximum likelihood estimation that generalizes a version of Hausdorff matching. |
