Research in Progress at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

The approach gives key emphasis to a succession of explicit descriptions at varying The MIT AI Laboratory has a long tradition of research in levels of visual processing, including the zero-crossing map, most aspects of Artificial Intelligence. Currently, the major foci the primal and 2'/2D sketches, and the so-called Spasar include computer vision, manipulation, learning, Englishlanguage 3D representation. Recent work has centered on directional understanding, VLSI design, expert engineering selectivity, evidence for a fifth, smaller channel for early problem solving, commonsense reasoning, computer processing, the Marr-Hildreth theory of edge detection, a architecture, distributed problem solving, models of human model of the retina, a computational theory of stereopsis and memory, programmer apprentices, and human education. Recently, Dr. Mike Brady has joined the Professor Berthold K. P. Horn and his students have studied Laboratory and has initiated a study of the psychology of intensively the image irradiance equation and its applications. The reflectance and albedo map representations have been introduced to make surface orientation, illumination geometry, and surface reflectivity explicit.
