Using Color and Shape Analysis for Boundary Line Extraction in Autonomous Vehicle Applications
… of intense research because they are a safe and convenient alternative to present-day vehicles. Human drivers base their navigational decisions primarily on visual information and researchers have been attempting to use computers to do the same. The current challenge in using computer vision …

Vectorization of Raster Images Using B-Spline Surfaces
… pixels, while vector images are made of smoother shapes. The image is first segmented, and the segments are layered. The boundary of each segment is approximated with a periodic B-Spline curve. This curve is then used to create a B-Spline surface to approximate the interior of the segment. The …

Generalization of deep neural networks to unseen attribute combinations
Visual understanding results from a combined understanding of primitive visual attributes such as color, texture, and shape. This allows humans and other primates to generalize their understanding of objects to new combinations of attributes. For instance, one can understand that a pink elephant is …

Houses of transition
… created over a period of approximately a year and a half. At the time when all of these pieces were being created, My husband and I were experiencing either the emotional roller coaster known as pregnancy, or the first wonder-filled year of our daughter's life. For me, both events proved to be …

Resource Distribution for Robots and Nexus between Water and Energy
… For example, the operation may sort bottles and cans based on their material: iron, aluminum, and plastic. Currently we have a vision-based system consisting of 3 robots that can effectively sort and navigate the objects using the color and shape of each object. However, the system cannot …

A Comparative Study of the Reproductive Biology of Sympatric Morning Glories (<em>Ipomoea</em>-convolvulaceae)
… the astounding diversity of flowering plants and of mobile organisms that serve as pollinators, sympatric co-flowering plants can potentially share pollinators with each other. This places two selection pressures on plants. First, plants compete for pollinators to visit their flowers and …

Morpho-colorimetric and non-parametric analysis in statistical classification of vascular flora
… task of classifying objects by methods of morpho-colorimetric and non-parametric statistical analysis. The study can be applied in botany where manual classification of seeds is still a common practice. It is labor-intensive, subjective, and suffers from contradiction, as well as it is a …

Color : functional organization and behavior
Color is a fundamental aspect of visual experience that confers a myriad of behavioral advantages: finding objects in cluttered scenes, recognizing familiar objects, and gleaning information about the material composition and state of objects (e.g. the edibility of fruit) and agents in the world …

Scene Monitoring With A Forest Of Cooperative Sensors
… interpretation methods for monitoring of people and vehicles, in real-time, within a busy environment using a forest of co-operative electro-optical (EO) sensors. We have developed novel video understanding algorithms with learning capability, to detect and categorize people and vehicles, track …

Cooking With Paint
… has almost always been a search for materials and sources that match my need for working with the self-referential narrative within the framework of a process. Repeatedly, I would venture out and turn back, only to venture out again, packed with new materials and image sources, in search of a …
