Flexible camera calibration by viewing a plane from unknown orientations

by Zhengyou Zhang , 1999
"... We propose a flexible new technique to easily calibrate a camera. It only requires the camera to observe a planar pattern shown at a few (at least two) different orientations. Either the camera or the planar pattern can be freely moved. The motion need not be known. Radial lens distortion is modeled ..."

ACLP: Flexible Solutions to Complex Problems

by A. C. Kakas, C. Mourlas - Proceedings of Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning , 1997
"... . In this paper we present a new system for non-monotonic reasoning performed using abduction. The system, called ACLP, is a programming language based on the framework of Abductive and Constraint Logic Programming (ACLP) which integrates abduction and constraint solving in Logic Programming. It ..."

language in which using NMR (in this case abduction) together with constraint solving it is possible to develop flexible solutions that are computationally viable in the real-life domain. We present the basic theory of ACLP that underlies the system, the main features of the ACLP language and how

The Advantages of Evolutionary Computation

by David B. Fogel , 1997
"... Evolutionary computation is becoming common in the solution of difficult, realworld problems in industry, medicine, and defense. This paper reviews some of the practical advantages to using evolutionary algorithms as compared with classic methods of optimization or artificial intelligence. Specific ..."
Abstract - Cited by 541 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
advantages include the flexibility of the procedures, as well as the ability to self-adapt the search for optimum solutions on the fly. As desktop computers increase in speed, the application of evolutionary algorithms will become routine. 1 Introduction Darwinian evolution is intrinsically a robust search

Bigtable: A distributed storage system for structured data

by Fay Chang, Jeffrey Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Wilson C. Hsieh, Deborah A. Wallach, Mike Burrows, Tushar Chandra, Andrew Fikes, Robert E. Gruber - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH CONFERENCE ON USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION - VOLUME 7 , 2006
"... Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1028 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
place very different demands on Bigtable, both in terms of data size (from URLs to web pages to satellite imagery) and latency requirements (from backend bulk processing to real-time data serving). Despite these varied demands, Bigtable has successfully provided a flexible, high-performance solution

ACLP: Flexible Solutions to Complex Problems

by unknown authors
"... 1 Introduction Non-monotonicity enhances the expressive power of a representation framework allowing high-level representations of problems close to their natural specification. The modeling of the problems is thus more direct, modular and faithful. As a result of this, many problems in Artificial I ..."

TABU SEARCH

by Fred Glover, Rafael Marti
"... Tabu Search is a metaheuristic that guides a local heuristic search procedure to explore the solution space beyond local optimality. One of the main components of tabu search is its use of adaptive memory, which creates a more flexible search behavior. Memory based strategies are therefore the hallm ..."

ZEBRA: A FLEXIBLE SOLUTION FOR CONTROLLING SCANNING EXPERIMENTS

by T Cobb , Y Chernousko , I Uzun
"... Abstract This paper presents the ZEBRA product developed at Diamond Light Source. ZEBRA is a stand-alone event handling system with interfaces to multi-standard digital I/O signals (TTL, LVDS, PECL, NIM and Open Collector) and RS422 quadrature incremental encoder signals. Input events can be trigge ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. The internal functionality is reconfigurable on the fly through the user interface and can be saved to static memory. It provides a flexible solution to interface different third party hardware (detectors and motion controllers) and to configure the required functionality as part of the experiment.

A simple cooperative diversity method based on network path selection

by Aggelos Bletsas, Ashish Khisti, David P. Reed, Andrew Lippman - IEEE J. SELECT. AREAS COMMUN , 2006
"... Cooperative diversity has been recently proposed as a way to form virtual antenna arrays that provide dramatic gains in slow fading wireless environments. However, most of the proposed solutions require distributed space–time coding algorithms, the careful design of which is left for future investi ..."

Constraint Maintenance with Preferences and Underlying Flexible Solution

by John Bresina, Ari Jonsson, Paul Morris, Kanna Rajan, Amedeo Cesta, Riccardo Rasconi , 2003
"... On-line problem solving is a significant issue for many practical applications, where solutions must be executed as the operating environment changes. Many of the application areas have been tackled by constraint based methods, but current constraint solving tools offer little support for on-line pr ..."
