The Effect of Aging on Object Representation
… overall aim of investigating older adults (OA) representation of real-world objects through different cognitive paradigms probing visual working memory (vWM) and attention. OAs are known to demonstrate difficulties in these two cognitive domains, however, an under-researched in the aging field …

Analysis of functionally graded material object representation methods
… to modeling Functionally Graded Material (FGM) objects are evaluated based on their memory requirements. Through this research, an information pathway for processing FGM objects based on image processing is proposed. This pathway establishes a clear separation between design of FGM objects, …

The role of real-world size in object representation
Every object in the world has a physical size which is intrinsic to how we interact with it: we pick up small objects like coins with our fingers, we throw footballs and swing tennis rackets, we orient our body to bigger objects like chairs and tables and we navigate with respect to landmarks like …

High-level visual object representation in juvenile and adult primates
Despite being reflexive, primate view invariant object recognition is a complex computational task. These computations are thought to reside in the ventral visual stream, specifically culminating in inferior temporal (IT) cortex. Recent research in machine learning has made great progress in …

Unsupervised learning of invariant object representation in primate visual cortex
Visual object recognition (categorization and identification) is one of the most fundamental cognitive functions for our survival. Our visual system has the remarkable ability to convey to us visual object and category information in a manner that is largely tolerant ("invariant") to the exact …

Connections Between Infants' Object-Representation and Physical-Reasoning Systems: Priming Effects in Violation -of -Expectation and Manual-Search Tasks
… that by highlighting a variable in infants' object-representation system, we may prime infants to attend to a variable in an event category; once included in the physical-reasoning system, the information about the variable will be interpreted by infants' core knowledge, allowing them to …

Integrated perception, planning and feedback control for generalizable robotic manipulation
… easily adapt their manipulation skills to unseen objects, new environment and different tasks. However, existing robot manipulators are typically limited to known object instance and skill transferring is challenging. In this thesis, we take a step further by formulating a manipulation framework …

Run manager module for CORAL laboratory management
… for Stanford Nanofabrication Facility's Common Object Representation for Advanced Laboratories (CORAL). CORAL is the lab manager with which MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories hopes to replace its outmoded, fifteen-year-old lab manager. RM will be used to collect and store parameterized …

Representing Unstructured Environments for Robotic Manipulation: Toward Generalization, Dexterity and Robustness
… manipulators that can handle a diversity of objects/environments, perform challenging manipulation tasks while being sufficiently robust such that deployment at scale is feasible. This thesis aims at such a generalizable, dexterous and robust manipulation pipeline. At the core of our approach …

The Effect of Active Learning on Viewpoint Dependence for Novel Objects
Active learning of novel objects can facilitate subsequent object recognition and discrimination, but the reasons for its beneficial effects remain unclear. One potential explanation is that active learning enables the formation of a more detailed, realistic, or useful neural object representation …

Development of an object library for a design support system
This thesis describes the development of an object library for a design support system presently being developed by the Fine Tools Group of the Architecture faculty. The object library is conceived as a library of “types” based on the premise that a major part of design solution is accomplished by …

Object understanding in generalized video segmentation
Spatio-temporal object representation is a key component in video understanding and is important for tasks like generalized video segmentation. Current methods often fail to represent objects spatio-temporally, by failing to capture the motion and interactions of objects over time, leading to …

Hand-drawn graph problems in online education
… users' pen strokes into a simple graph object representation. An experiment run on Mechanical Turk demonstrates the usability of our trained, recognition-driven drawing interface, and examples of simple graph problems illustrate how course developers can not only check students' final …

Differential Effects of Divided Attention on Object Representations
… theories have been developed in explanation of object perception, such as Feature Integration Theory, which posits that an object is perceived after two stages: a pre-attentive stage and a focused attention stage. It is during the focused attention stage that a representation of the perceived …

Maternal and Fetal Representations, Dimensions of Personality, and Prenatal Attachment in Women Hospitalized with High Risk Pregnancy
… the effects of self-criticism, dependency, object representation, and risk upon maternal antenatal attachment in women hospitalized during pregnancy with high risk of maternal or fetal demise. Ninety-one women completed the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (Blatt, D'Affliti, and Quinlan, …

Building Footprint Reconstruction from Satellite Imagery Using a Deep Learning Framework with Geometric Regularization
… computer vision has made impressive progress in object recognition and representation, but accurately modeling buildings as geometric primitives remains difficult. Unlike traditional pixel-based approaches, primitive-based object representation requires understanding the spatial structure and …

Modeling Objects Using Interest Points, Edges, and Regions
… low level image features for the task of object category recognition and segmentation. In particular, it proposes novel fast and efficient models to represent object categories using interest points, edges, and regions. For interest points, a part based generate object template is …

Underwater Semantic Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
Building semantically meaningful object level maps of underwater environments is crucial for enabling higher-level autonomy, fostering human-robot collaboration, and providing compressed map representations for bandwidth-constrained underwater communications, while localizing against such maps can …
