Vision systems for robots and other autonomous agents must meet severe throughput and latency requirements, and place extreme demands on current-generation computing hardware. Pipelined image processors have proven to be a cost-effective way to meet these demands (at least for early visual processing), and have become very popular among researchers working on real-time vision problems. Unfortun...

This paper proposes a model of human uniqueness based on an unusual distinction between two contrasted kinds of political competition and political status: (1) antagonistic competition, in quest of dominance (antagonistic status), a zero-sum, self-limiting game whose stake--who takes what, when, how--summarizes a classical definition of politics (Lasswell 1936), and (2) synergistic competition,...

The intrinsic hardware imperfection of WiFi chipsets manifests itself in the transmitted signal, leading to a unique radiometric (radio frequency) fingerprint. This fingerprint can be used as an additional means authentication enhance security. In this paper, we prove analytically and experimentally that these solutions are highly vulnerable impersonation attacks. We also demonstrate such devic...
