Maximum-Likelihood Image Matching
Authors: Clark F. Olson
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

Image matching applications such as tracking and stereo commonly use the sum-of-squared-difference (SSD) measure to determine the best match. However, this measure is sensitive to outliers and is not robust to template variations. Alternative measures have also been proposed that are more robust to these issues. We improve upon these using a probabilistic formulation for image matching in terms of maximum-likelihood estimation that can be used for both edge template matching and gray-level image matching. This formulation generalizes previous edge matching methods based on distance transforms. We apply the techniques to stereo matching and feature tracking. Uncertainty estimation techniques allow feature selection to be performed by choosing features that minimize the localization uncertainty.

A stable scheme for the numerical computation of long wave propagation in temporal laminates
Authors: Suzanne L. Weekes
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

A temporal laminate is a material whose parameters are homogeneous in space but vary periodically and discontinuously in time. In this article, we consider wave propagation through a temporal laminate where the period of the disturbance moving through the media is large relative to &#x03B5; the period of the lamination. It is worth noting that the constituent materials and the mixing coefficient can be chosen so that the effective speed in a temporal laminate is greater than the individual phase speeds. We show that the analytic problem admits stable long wave modes, but shorter wave modes grow as they pass through the laminate layers. Computing wave motion through this composite medium using the standard upwind, finite-difference method under the CFL condition for numerical wave propagation in the individual media will produce growing short wave modes. Numerical results are degraded since accuracy is quickly lost due to the growth of short waves which enter into the computation through truncation and round-off error. A new CFL constraint is derived for a finite-difference numerical scheme which will allow us to compute the stable long wave motion. Numerical results are given for the direct numerical simulation of the homogenization problem (&#x03B5; &#x2192; 0).
Interval Algorithms for Finding the Minimal Root in a Set of Multiextremal One-Dimensional Nondifferentiable Functions
Authors: L. G. Casado, I. Garc
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

Two problems arising very often in applications are considered. The first problem consists of finding the minimal root of an analytic one-dimensional function over a given interval. It is supposed that the objective function can be multiextremal and nondifferentiable. Three new algorithms based on interval analysis and branch-and-bound global optimization approaches are proposed for solving this problem. The novelty of the new algorithms is in improving the elimination criteria and the order in which interval and point evaluations are realized. The techniques introduced accelerate the search in comparison with interval analysis methods traditionally used for finding roots of equations. The second problem considered in the paper is a generalization of the first one and deals with the search for the minimal root in a set of multiextremal and nondifferentiable functions. The methods proposed for solving the first problem are generalized for solving the second. The main idea is to use the information obtained from any of the functions to reduce the search domain associated with all the functions. Numerical experiments carried out on a wide set of test functions demonstrate a quite satisfactory performance of the new algorithms in both cases.
Minimizing the tape size
Authors: Christèle Faure, Uwe Naumann
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

For the real world program, most of the execution time of the adjoint code can be spent for the storage/retrieval of the tape recording operations for subsequent play-back. This execution time is proportional to the size of the tape. When writing adjoint code by hand, this is well known, and complex strategies are applied to limit the tape size. This chapter is a first step towards the automatic control of the size of the tape.
E-Strategy,Pure and Simple: Connecting Your Internet Strategy to Your Business Strategy, 1st edition
Authors: Michel Robert, Bernard Racine
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:"I just approved a $10 million dollar Internet project and I have absolutely no idea of what it was all about," said one of our CEO clients to us a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, this is a sentiment shared by many CEOs we have encountered in the last two to three years. They are approving large sums of money on Internet and IT projects without a clue of what they are getting. The reason is simple. These CEOs are baffled by the sudden emergence of a new variable in their universe, a variable called the Internet. And they are baffled because they simply don't understand the Internet and its implications on their business. When one doesn't understand something, one's decision-making power is paralyzed, which is what is happening to many CEOs. As a result, they place their fate in the hands of so-called Internet Expert Consultants to develop an Internet Plan for them. This is akin to making the plumber the architect for your new house. You'll end up with a lot of pipes! In business, you'll end up with a lot of unnecessary hardware and software and possibly with an Internet plan that does not support the business strategy of the enterprise. Our premise is that the CEO and the Executive Team should be the architect of their own Internet strategy which is connected to, and helps deploy, the enterprise's business strategy. This book contains concepts and a process that demystifies the Internet (in "lay" terms) which then empowers CEOs and their key executives to design their own Internet strategy and thus control their own destiny.
Can we use the universal instance assumption without using nulls?
Authors: Yehoshua Sagiv
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

We claim that the representative instance of [Ho1, Va3] is a correct representation of the data stored in a database even when the relations of the database are not the projections of a single universal instance. If no constraint (other than functional and join dependencies) is imposed on the data, then projections of the representative instance cannot always be computed by lossless joins. We show that if the database satisfies a modified foreign-key constraint, then projections of the representative instance can be computed by performing the union of several lossless joins. A class of relation schemes for which no constraint is necessary is characterized, and we show how to compute projections of the representative instance for databases that belong to this class.
Program improvement by internal specialization
Authors: William L. Scherlis
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

We investigate the specialization of programs by means of program transformation techniques. There are two goals of this investigation: the construction of program synthesis tools, and a better understanding of the development of algorithms.By extending an ordinary language of recursion equations to include a generalized procedure construct (the expression procedure), our ability to manipulate programs in that language is greatly enhanced. The expression procedure provides a means of expressing information not just about the properties of individual program elements, but also about the way they relate to each other.A set of four operations for transforming programs in this extended language is presented. These operations, unlike the transformation rules of Burstall and Darlington and of Manna and Waldinger, preserve the strong equivalence of programs.This set of operations forms the basis of a general-purpose specialization technique for recursive programs. The practical value of this technique has been demonstrated in the systematic development of many programs, including several context-free parsing algorithms. We outline here the development of Earley's algorithm by specialization.This paper is an informal exposition of part of the results of the author's Ph.D. thesis [Scherlis80].

Globalization of Pantoja's optimal control algorithm
Authors: Bruce Christianson, Michael Bartholomew-Biggs
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

In 1983 Pantoja described a stagewise construction of the Newton direction for a general class of discrete time optimal control problems. His algorithm incurs amazingly low overheads: the cost (measured in target function evaluations) is independent of the number of discrete timesteps. The algorithm can be modified to verify that the Hessian contains no eigenvalues less than a postulated quantity, and to produce an appropriate descent direction in the case where the Hessian fails to be positive definite and global convergence becomes an issue. Coleman and Liao have proposed a specific damping strategy in this context. Here we describe how automatic differentiation can be used to implement Pantoja's algorithm, and we briefly consider some alternative globalization strategies, within which AD techniques can be further deployed.

Flexible notification for collaborative systems
Authors: Haifeng Shen, Chengzheng Sun
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

Notification is an essential feature in collaborative systems, which determines a system's capability and flexibility in supporting different kinds of collaborative work. In the past years, various notification strategies have been designed for different systems. However, the design of notification components has been ad hoc, and the techniques used for supporting notification have been application-dependent. In this paper, we contribute a flexible notification framework that can be used to describe and compare a range of notification strategies used in existing collaborative systems, and to guide the design of notification components for new collaborative systems. The framework has been applied to the design of a notification component for a group editor, which uses a single notification mechanism to support various notification policies for meeting both real-time and non-real-time collaboration needs. In addition, a new operational transformation control algorithm has been devised in combination with the notification component, which is significantly simpler and more efficient than existing algorithms.
