Cronin, Oscar Firschein, Gary Ogasawara, Elaine Rich Abstract An argument against the view that computer science and communication are unrelated, comments on the imitation game, and the validity of the Turing test.

As a communication scholar, I am This latest computer revolution well aware that many traditionalists has taken shape only within the view the respective disciplines of past five years. My recently completed These two revolutions have been master's thesis argues against this operating independently with limited view.

Review of Three-Dimensional Computer Vision

Subsequent chapters extend these techniques to the recognition of isolated curved objects using a graph model, interpretation of imperfect regions using a scene model, and recognition of multiple objects using Z-D object models. Shirai proceeds in a logical fashion two-dimensional pattern (2-D) recognition, pleted, the author concentrates on the from 2-D analysis, to line drawing such as character recognition 3-D world. The next two chapters deal interpretation, to the analysis of range or the recognition of silhouettes. The chapter on range data irregular objects using fractals and brief description of the field, the processing is a very strong one that superquadrics. This is followed by a reference source for researchers analysis, edge linking and following, chapter on three-dimensional description in 3-D vision.

We offer a simple mechanism, that of metalingual definition (D. G. Hays, The Meaning of a Term is a Function of the Theory in Which It Occurs, SIGLASH Newsletter, 1973, 6, 4:S-11).
