New media urbanism: grounding ambient information technology

The design challenge of pervasive computing demands new emphasis on ambient, embodied, and habitual experiences. This emphasis connects the younger field of interaction design with the more venerable disciplines of the built environment. In terms of knowledge representation its central problem becomes location modeling. This turn from the universal aspects of computing to its situated practices...

Computer Vision for Mobile Robotics Winter 2005

This contents of this course are This course covers a variety of topics and issues in applied AI: computer vision, mobile robotics, and multi-robot systems. These abstract components are grounded in the problem of robotic soccer. In four assignments, the students will implement the components for a team of intelligent mobile robots capable of performing interesting and challenging tasks such as...

Enhancing Computer Vision Using the Collective Intelligence of Social Media

Teaching the machine has been a great challenge for computer vision scientists since the very first steps of artificial intelligence. Throughout the decades there have been remarkable achievements that drastically enhanced the capabilities of the machines both from the perspective of infrastructure (i.e., computer networks, processing power, storage capabilities), as well as from the perspectiv...

Information Processing by Chemical Reaction-Diffusion Media: From Computing to Vision

Chemical reaction-diffusion media represent information processing means fundamentally different from contemporary digital computers. Distributed character and complex nonlinear dynamics of chemical reactions inherent in the medium are the basis for large-scale parallelism and complex logical operations performed by the medium as primitives and equivalent to hundreds of binary fixed-point opera...
