Efficient Parallel Information Filtering
(Center for Advanced Concepts and Technology, 1996-06)
Opportunities frequently arise in command and control for identical information filtering operations to be performed on data items geographicallyorchronologicallydispersed. For instance, in monitoring a frontier we may be ...
A Planner for Constructing Customized Terrain Databases
(1998)
We describe TELLUSPLAN, an intelligent assistant for the problem of bargaining between user goals and
system resources in the integration of terrain databases from separate source databases. TELLUSPLAN uses
nondeterministic ...
Use of image feedback loops for real time terrain feature extraction
(1999-01)
By utilizing images calculated on-the-fly as a filter improvements in real-time performance of object
measurement and feature extraction can be achieved for automated aerial photograph analysis. The process
requires the ...
Redundant processing as a solution to the mismatch between natural language and vision
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-11)
A key obstacle to accessing images on the information superhighway is some necessary content analysis.
Captions help, but they cannot supplant some necessary image processing. We discuss how image processing
is more a ...
Multimedia Systems by Neil C. Rowe
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-01)
Multimedia systems combine the digital form of images, graphics, audio, electronic signals, or video with traditional text data.
Multimedia systems provide many fruitful applications for distributed and parallel processing ...
Finding Photograph Captions Multimodally on the World Wide Web
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03)
Several software tools index text of the World Wide Web, but little
attention has been paid to the many valuable photographs. We
present a relatively simple way to index them by localizing their
likely explicit and implicit ...
Digital Libraries / The Fourth ACM Conference on Digital Libraries, August 11-14, 1999, Berkeley, CA.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1999-08)
Digital libraries are the digital counterparts of traditional libraries of books and periodicals. They hold digital representations in
minimally structured formats for all kinds of archival human-readable information ...
Natural-Language Retrieval of Images Based on Descriptive Captions
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School., 1996-07)
We describe a prototype intelligent information retrieval system that uses natural-language
understanding to efficiently locate captioned data. Multimedia data generally require captions
to explain their features and ...
Statistical versus symbolic parsing for captioned-information retrieval / Workshop on the Balancing Act, ACL-94, Las Cruces NM, July 1994
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-07)
We discuss implementation issues of MARIE-1, a mostly symbolic parser fully implemented, and MARIE-2,
a more statistical parser partially implemented. They address a corpus of 100,000 picture captions. We argue
that the ...
Semiautomatic disabbreviation of technical text
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995)
Abbreviations adversely affect information retrieval and text comprehensibility. We describe a software tool
to decipher abbreviations by finding their whole-word equivalents or "disabbreviations". It uses a large
English ...
