An Introduction to the Kalman Filter

by Greg Welch, Gary Bishop - UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL , 1995
"... In 1960, R.E. Kalman published his famous paper describing a recursive solution to the discrete-data linear filtering problem. Since that time, due in large part to advances in digital computing, the Kalman filter has been the subject of extensive research and application, particularly in the area o ..."

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques

by Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber , 2000
"... Our capabilities of both generating and collecting data have been increasing rapidly in the last several decades. Contributing factors include the widespread use of bar codes for most commercial products, the computerization of many business, scientific and government transactions and managements, a ..."

, and advances in data collection tools ranging from scanned texture and image platforms, to on-line instrumentation in manufacturing and shopping, and to satellite remote sensing systems. In addition, popular use of the World Wide Web as a global information system has flooded us with a tremendous amount

A Fast Marching Level Set Method for Monotonically Advancing Fronts

by J. A. Sethian - PROC. NAT. ACAD. SCI , 1995
"... We present a fast marching level set method for monotonically advancing fronts, which leads to an extremely fast scheme for solving the Eikonal equation. Level set methods are numerical techniques for computing the position of propagating fronts. They rely on an initial value partial differential eq ..."

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 ..."

techniques which use expensive equipment such as two or three orthogonal planes, the proposed technique is easy to use and flexible. It advances 3D computer vision one step from laboratory environments to real world use. The corresponding software is available from the author’s Web page.

Query Expansion Using Local and Global Document Analysis

by Jinxi Xu, W. Bruce Croft - In Proceedings of the 19th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval , 1996
"... Automatic query expansion has long been suggested as a technique for dealing with the fundamental issue of word mismatch in information retrieval. A number of approaches to expansion have been studied and, more recently, attention has focused on techniques that analyze the corpus to discover word re ..."
Abstract - Cited by 610 (24 self) - Add to MetaCart
global analysis techniques, such as word context and phrase structure, on the local set of documents produces results that are both more effective and more predictable than simple local feedback. 1 Introduction The problem of word mismatch is fundamental to information retrieval. Simply stated, it means

Efficient belief propagation for early vision

by Pedro F. Felzenszwalb, Daniel P. Huttenlocher - In CVPR , 2004
"... Markov random field models provide a robust and unified framework for early vision problems such as stereo, optical flow and image restoration. Inference algorithms based on graph cuts and belief propagation yield accurate results, but despite recent advances are often still too slow for practical u ..."

Status quo bias in decision making

by William Samuelson, Richard Zeckhauser - Journal of Risk and Uncertainty , 1988
"... economics, rationality Most real decisions, unlike those of economics texts, have a status quo alternative-that is, doing noth-ing or maintaining one’s current or previous decision. A series of decision-making experiments shows that individuals disproportionately stick with the status quo. Data on t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 641 (21 self) - Add to MetaCart
on the selections of health plans and retirement programs by faculty members reveal that the status quo bias is substantial in important real decisions. Economics, psychology, and decision theory provide possible explanations for this bias. Ap-plications are discussed ranging from marketing techniques

Scatter/Gather: A Cluster-based Approach to Browsing Large Document Collections

by Douglass R. Cutting, David R. Karger, Jan O. Pedersen, John W. Tukey , 1992
"... Document clustering has not been well received as an information retrieval tool. Objections to its use fall into two main categories: first, that clustering is too slow for large corpora (with running time often quadratic in the number of documents); and second, that clustering does not appreciably ..."
Abstract - Cited by 777 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
document browsing technique that employs document clustering as its primary operation. We also present fast (linear time) clustering algorithms which support this interactive browsing paradigm. 1 Introduction Document clustering has been extensively investigated as a methodology for improving document

Ontologies: Principles, methods and applications

by Mike Uschold, Michael Gruninger - KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING REVIEW , 1996
"... This paper is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field concerned with the design and use of ontologies. We observe that disparate backgrounds, languages, tools, and techniques are a major barrier to effective communication among people, organisations, and/or software s ..."

Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation

by Kenneth E. Train , 2002
"... This book describes the new generation of discrete choice meth-ods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logi ..."

Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis– Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs
