Real-Time Vision-Based Pattern Tracking Without Predefined Colors

Global vision in the robotic soccer domain provides an excellent vehicle for developing pattern tracking algorithms, since many fast-moving objects must be differentiated and individually tracked in real time. We present a system and novel pattern design that may be used to track robots from a camera mounted at an oblique angle and without the use of predefined colors. Avoiding the need for col...

Embedding shapes without predefined parts

For a practical computer implementation of part embedding in shapes that is also true to their continuous character and the shape grammar formalism, shapes and their boundaries are handled together in composite shape and label algebras. Temporary representations of shapes, termed `overcomplete graphs', comprise boundary elements of shapes and how they are assembled, and are utilized in a two-ph...

Quantum Theory without Quantification∗

After having explained Samuel Clarke’s conception of the new philosophy of physical reality, we will treat the electron field in this context as a field modifying the void. From this we will be able to derive the so-called quantum rules just from Noether’s theorem on conserved currents. Thus quantum theory appears as a kind of nonlocal field theory, in fact a new theory.

Quantum Theory Without Observers

The concept of`measurement' becomes so fuzzy on reeection that it is quite surprising to have it appearing in physical theory at the most fundamental level.. .. D]oes not any analysis of measurement require concepts more fundamental than measurement? And should not the fundamental theory be about these more fundamental concepts? (Bell 1981 1, page 117])
