The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

by Minh N. Do, Martin Vetterli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING
"... The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."

flexible multiresolution, local, and directional image expansion using contour segments, and thus it is named the contourlet transform. The discrete contourlet transform has a fast iterated filter bank algorithm that requires an order N operations for N-pixel images. Furthermore, we establish a precise

Intelligence Without Representation

by Rodney Brooks - Artificial Intelligence , 1991
"... Artificial intelligence research has foundered on the issue of representation. When intelligence is approached in an incremental manner, with strict reliance on interfacing to the real world through perception and action, reliance on representation disappears. In this paper we outline our approach t ..."

Image retrieval: Current techniques, promising directions and open issues

by Yong Rui, Thomas S. Huang - Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation , 1999
"... This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the technical achievements in the research area of image retrieval, especially content-based image retrieval, an area that has been so active and prosperous in the past few years. The survey includes 100+ papers covering the research aspects of image fea ..."

feature representation and extraction, multidimensional indexing, and system design, three of the fundamental bases of content-based image retrieval. Furthermore, based on the state-of-the-art technology available now and the demand from real-world applications, open research issues are identified

Logical foundations of object-oriented and frame-based languages

by Michael Kifer, Georg Lausen, James Wu - JOURNAL OF THE ACM , 1995
"... We propose a novel formalism, called Frame Logic (abbr., F-logic), that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for most of the structural aspects of object-oriented and frame-based languages. These features include object identity, complex objects, inheritance, polymorphic types, query methods, ..."
Abstract - Cited by 876 (65 self) - Add to MetaCart
that come from object-oriented programming have direct representation in F-logic; other, secondary aspects of this paradigm are easily modeled as well. The paper also discusses semantic issues pertaining to programming with a deductive object-oriented language based on a subset of F-logic.

Why a diagram is (sometimes) worth ten thousand words

by Jill H. Larkin - Cognitive Science , 1987
"... We distinguish diagrammatic from sentential paper-and-pencil representationsof information by developing alternative models of information-processing systems that are informationally equivalent and that can be characterized as sentential or diagrammatic. Sentential representations are sequential, li ..."

. Two sets of operators may differ in their copobilities for recognizing patterns, in the inferences they con carry out directly, and in their control strategies (in portitular. the control of search). Diogrommotic ond sentential representations sup

Symbolic Boolean manipulation with ordered binary-decision diagrams

by Randal E Bryant - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1992
"... Ordered Binary-Decision Diagrams (OBDDS) represent Boolean functions as directed acyclic graphs. They form a canonical representation, making testing of functional properties such as satmfiability and equivalence straightforward. A number of operations on Boolean functions can be implemented as grap ..."

The Lumigraph

by Steven J. Gortler, Radek Grzeszczuk, Richard Szeliski, Michael F. Cohen - IN PROCEEDINGS OF SIGGRAPH 96 , 1996
"... This paper discusses a new method for capturing the complete appearanceof both synthetic and real world objects and scenes, representing this information, and then using this representation to render images of the object from new camera positions. Unlike the shape capture process traditionally used ..."

Graph-based algorithms for Boolean function manipulation

by Randal E. Bryant - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1986
"... In this paper we present a new data structure for representing Boolean functions and an associated set of manipulation algorithms. Functions are represented by directed, acyclic graphs in a manner similar to the representations introduced by Lee [1] and Akers [2], but with further restrictions on th ..."

Solving multiclass learning problems via error-correcting output codes

by Thomas G. Dietterich, Ghulum Bakiri - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1995
"... Multiclass learning problems involve nding a de nition for an unknown function f(x) whose range is a discrete set containing k>2values (i.e., k \classes"). The de nition is acquired by studying collections of training examples of the form hx i;f(x i)i. Existing approaches to multiclass l ..."
Abstract - Cited by 726 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
learning problems include direct application of multiclass algorithms such as the decision-tree algorithms C4.5 and CART, application of binary concept learning algorithms to learn individual binary functions for each of the k classes, and application of binary concept learning algorithms with distributed

Understanding Normal and Impaired Word Reading: Computational Principles in Quasi-Regular Domains

by David C. Plaut , James L. McClelland, Mark S. Seidenberg, Karalyn Patterson - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 1996
"... We develop a connectionist approach to processing in quasi-regular domains, as exemplified by English word reading. A consideration of the shortcomings of a previous implementation (Seidenberg & McClelland, 1989, Psych. Rev.) in reading nonwords leads to the development of orthographic and phono ..."

In a number of simulation experiments, networks using the new representations learn to read both regular and exception words, including low-frequency exception words, and yet are still able
