Enhanced Modal Approach for Model Reduction

by A. Varga - Mathematical Modelling of Systems , 1995
"... . The general applicability of the modal approach for model reduction is restricted by the lack of guaranteed bounds for approximation errors and the lack of a satisfactory modal dominance analysis procedure. Functional and computational enhancements of this approach are proposed. Functional enhance ..."

A Modal Approach to Hyper-Redundant Manipulator Kinematics

by Gregory S. Chirikjian, Joel W. Burdick - IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation , 1994
"... Absfract- This paper presents novel and efficient kinematic modeling techniques for “hyper-redundant ” robots. This approach is based on a “backbone curve ” that captures the robot’s macroscopic geometric features. The inverse kinematic, or “hyper-redundancy resolution, ” problem reduces to determin ..."

to determining the time varying backbone curve behavior. To efficiently solve the inverse kinematics problem, we introduce a “modal ” approach, in which a set of intrinsic backbone curve shape functions are restricted to a modal form. The singularities of the modal approach, modal non-degeneracy conditions

Multi-Modal Volume Registration by Maximization of Mutual Information

by William M. Wells, III, Paul Viola, Ron Kikinis , 1996
"... A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the registration of volumetric medical images of differing modalities. Registration is achieved by adjustment of the relative pose until the mutual information between images is maximized. In our derivation of the registration procedure, ..."

A Multi-Modal Approach for Determining

by Speaker Location And, Michael Siracusa, Kevin Wilson, John Fisher, Trevor Darrell - in Proc. Int. Conf. on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI , 2003
"... This paper presents a multi-modal approach to locate a speaker in a scene and determine to whom he or she is speaking. We present a simple probabilistic framework that combines multiple cues derived from both audio and video information. A purely visual cue is obtained using a head tracker to identi ..."

An Integrated Modal Approach to Rational Agents

by W. van der Hoek, B. van Linder, J.-J. Ch. Meyer , 1997
"... In this paper we give an overview of work we have done to provide a framework in which many aspects of rational agency are integrated. The various attitudes of a rational agent, viz. the informational as well as the motivational ones, are modelled in the framework by means of a variety of modal oper ..."

Matching words and pictures

by Kobus Barnard, Pinar Duygulu, David Forsyth, Nando De Freitas, David M. Blei, Michael I. Jordan - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2003
"... We present a new approach for modeling multi-modal data sets, focusing on the specific case of segmented images with associated text. Learning the joint distribution of image regions and words has many applications. We consider in detail predicting words associated with whole images (auto-annotation ..."

A Modal Approach to Negation as Failure

Multimodality Image Registration by Maximization of Mutual Information

by Frederik Maes, André Collignon, Dirk Vandermeulen, Guy Marchal, Paul Suetens - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING , 1997
"... A new approach to the problem of multimodality medical image registration is proposed, using a basic concept from information theory, mutual information (MI), or relative entropy, as a new matching criterion. The method presented in this paper applies MI to measure the statistical dependence or in ..."

1 Modal Approaches in Metaphysics and Quantum Mechanics1

by Terekhovich V. E
"... Abstract. Some interpretations of quantum mechanics use notions of possible states and possible trajectories. We investigate how this modal approach correlates with several metaphysical conceptions of a transition from potential to actual existence. The comparison is based on a discussion in contemp ..."
