Extracting the MESA SR4000 Calibrations

Time-of-flight range imaging cameras are capable of acquiring depth images of a scene. Some algorithms require these cameras to be run in ‘raw mode’, where any calibrations from the off-the-shelf manufacturers are lost. The calibration of the MESA SR4000 is herein investigated, with an attempt to reconstruct the full calibration. Possession of the factory calibration enables calibrated data to ...

MESA: Maximum Entropy by Simulated Annealing

Probabilistic reasoning systems combine dif­ ferent probabilistic rules and probabilistic facts to arrive at the desired probability val­ ues of consequences. In this paper we de­ scribe the MESA-algorithm (Maximum En­ tropy by Simulated Annealing) that derives a joint distribution of variables or propositions. It takes into account the reliability of proba­ bility values and can resolve confli...

mESA: a Model for Collective Decision Making

Conscious decision making requires deep understanding of (1) the problem, (2) the context framing the problem, (3) the available options, (4) the perceived future resulting from each alternative and, of course, (5) the preferred future. As world becomes more complex and problems more open ended, these pieces of knowledge tend to be spread through several individuals. Finding, collecting, filter...
