In the present paper, among other results, a decomposition formula is given for the w-bounded continuous negative definite functions of a topological *-semigroup S with a weight function w into a proper H*-algebra A in terms of w-bounded continuous positive definite A-valued functions on S. A generalization of a well-known result of K. Harzallah is obtained. An earlier conjecture of the author ...

T h i s paper describes a me thod f o r recognizing partially occluded objects for bin-picking ta sks using the eigen-space analysis. A l though effective in recognizing a n isolated object, as was shown by Murase and N a y a r , t h e current method can n o t be applied t o piratically occluded objects t ha t are typical in bin-picking tasks . T h e analysis also requires tha t t he object is ...
