This paper describes the DUCHAMP source finder, a piece of software designed to find and describe sources in three-dimensional, spectral-line data cubes. DUCHAMP has been developed with H I (neutral hydrogen) observations in mind, but is widely applicable to many types of astronomical images. It features efficient source detection and handling methods, noise suppression via smoothing or multi-r...

Tourists often have a hard time making their tour plans, especially when they are visiting a large city on a tight schedule. To relieve tourists from such difficulty, a computer-aided interactive tour planning system, called CT-Planner2, was developed. This system models a tourist advisor who makes tour plans customized for individual tourists. Guided by an interactive agent, each user of this ...

In this study, a compact, low-power 2D phase comparison direction finder was designed and fabricated. For the design of direction-finding (DF) receiver, DF equation derived from structure four uniformly arranged antennas, main parameters were receiver’s system parameters. Based on equations parameters, receiver designed, A fabricated to simulation model showed that its performance comparable ...

Cardinal’s matrix version of the Sebastiao e Silva polynomial root-finder rapidly approximates the roots as the eigenvalues of the associated Frobenius matrix. We preserve rapid convergence to the roots but amend the algorithm to allow input polynomials with multiple roots and root clusters. As in Cardinal’s algorithm, we repeatedly square the Frobenius matrix in nearly linear arithmetic time p...

ground-based laser range finder have got more concerned. In our previous research, a method of automated In this paper, a method of fusing ground-based laser registration of two views of laser range image was range image and CCD image for the reconstruction of proposed [4,51, and showed promising results with some textured 3 0 urban object is proposed. An acquisition preliminary experiment. The...

− In this paper, we propose a Bayesian network framework for managing interactivity between a tour-guide robot and visitors in mass exhibition conditions, through robust interpretation of multi-modal signals. We report on methods and experiments interpreting speech and laser scanner signals in the spoken dialogue management system of the autonomous tour-guide robot RoboX, successfully deployed ...

A system of procedures and computer programs is proposed for the semi-automatic synthesis of Russian-English translation algorithms. For the purposes of automatic formula finding, a large corpus of Russian scientific and technical text may be processed by an automatic Russian-English dictionary, the resulting word-by-word translation postedited according to a systematic procedure, and the final...
