Topographic anatomy being the study of gross anatomy region by region, viz: Head and Neck, Trunk, Appendages; while Systemic an...

The Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) model was introduced by 7) as a probabilistic re-formulation of the self-organizing map (SOM). It offers a number of advantages compared with the standard SOM, and has already been used in a variety of applications. In this paper we report on several extensions of the GTM, including an incremental version of the EM algorithm for estimating the model para...

—Image processing algorithms for template matching, 2D digital filtering, morphologic operations, and motion estimation share some common properties. They can all benefit from using reconfigurable computers that use co-processor boards based on FPGA (field programmable gate array) chips. This paper characterizes those applications as generalized template matching (GTM) operations and describes ...

NASA’s Generic Transport Model (GTM) is a remote-controlled, 5.5 percent scale commercial aircraft. An L1 adaptive controller was recently designed and flight tested on the GTM. Oscillations in the elevator command were observed at 1.4 to 2 Hertz during the first flight test in September 2009. In most flight conditions the L1 adaptive controller can be approximated by a linear time-invariant sy...

Visualization of high-dimensional data has always been a challenging task. Here we discuss and propose variants of non-linear data projection methods (Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) and GTM with simultaneous feature saliency (GTM-FS)) that are adapted to be effective on very highdimensional data. The adaptations use log space values at certain steps of the Expectation Maximization (EM) al...
