In the late 1950s, hardware became available that allowed the machining of 3D shapes out of blocks of wood or steel.1 These shapes could then be used as stamps and dies for products such as the hood of a car. The bottleneck in this production method
Genetic Programming Theory and Practice IV was developed from the fourth workshop at the University of Michigan’s Center for the Study of Complex Systems to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information related to the rapidly advancing field of G

The use of multiple antennas at both ends of a wireless link (MIMO technology) holds the potential to drastically improve the spectral eciency and link reliability in future wireless communications systems. A particularly promising candidate for ne
This paper proposes a novel method for detection and segmentation of foreground objects from a video which contains both stationary and moving background objects and undergoesboth gradual and sudden “once-off” changes. A Bayes decision rule for clas
This paper describes a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation call
Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for maximizing the utilization of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing amount of services and applications in wireless networks. A cognitive radio (CR) transceiver is ab
Product Descr iption Probabilistic networks, also known as Bayesian networks and influence diagrams, have become one of the most promising technologies in the area of applied artificial intelligence, offering intuitive, efficient, and reliable metho
3D TOUCHLESS FINGERPRINTS: COMPATIBILITY WITH LEGACY ROLLED IMAGES Fingerprints are traditionally captured based on contact of the finger on paper or a platen surface. This often results in partial or degraded images due to improper finger placement
Over the last 20 years, approaches to designing speech and language processing algorithms have moved from methods based on linguistics and speech science to data-driven pattern recognition techniques. These techniques have been the focus of intense,
ATL: The Past, Present, and Future Unless you've been locked in a dungeon writing Fortran code for the last several years, you've undoubtedly heard about the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). COM is arguably the most significant and promising
Product Descr iption Cross-platform development is a kind of holy grail, and Trolltech’s Qt toolkit may well be the most promising solution yet to this development challenge. Qt is widely used for the development of GUI applications as well as conso
