Along with the explosive growth of the Web has come a great increase in on-line scholarly literature. Thus the Web is becoming an efficient source of up-to-date information for the scientific researcher, and more and more researchers are turning to their computers to keep current on results in their field. Not only is Web retrieval usually faster than a walk to the library, but the information ...

Long wavelength interferometry has been widely applied in different fields, such as infrared optics, infrared transmitting materials, high-reflective multilayer dielectric coatings for highpower laser systems. In optical metrology, long-wave interferometers are also employed for shape measurement of reflective rough surfaces and for testing optical systems that requires deep aspherics. An advan...

_2IK0Z5R10 Geo-referenced digital images tak en by CCD cameras and in tegrated with GPS/INS data provide an efficient way for monitoring special objects with high resolution and visual capability in a h ighway/road/corridor inventory system. This research represents some techniques using a binocular/multiple viewing stereo vision system mounted on a mobile vehicle for extraction of spatial info...

Emulation is one of the main strategies for preserving digital objects. With different emulation environments to choose from when preserving a collection of digital objects it is necessary to choose the emulator that is able to render the significant properties of an object best. But also on the development side it is necessary to run automated tests for new versions of emulators. In this work ...

We are studying joint activity in which a remote robot finds an object by communicating with the user over a voice-only channel. We focus on how the robot disambiguates the reference of the uttered word or phrase to the target object. For example, by “cup”, one may refer to a “teacup”, a “coffee cup”, or even a “glass” under some situations. This reference (hereafter, “object reference”) is use...

Map display is basic function and spatial reference for vehicle navigation system. Based on object-oriented programming (OOP) and C++ computer language, the paper provides and practices an approach of parsing main map data of Kiwi format and translating them into MapInfo’s MIF format, which is open and used widely for spatial data sharing. Finally, by a case study, it extracts necessary road at...

Over the last decades, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model has become the internationally recognized standard for modeling data from the field of cultural heritage. With the growing digitalization of the humanities, the scope of use cases for the CRM is being steadily extended to topics beyond museum knowledge. Among those is the digital publication of archaeological catalogues that focus on t...

An optoelectronic technique for 3D object recognition using single off-axis digital Fresnel hologram is demonstrated. Only one Fresnel digital hologram of the 3D object to be recognized is recorded. The electronic hologram is processed digitally to retrieve 3D object information encoded as a 2D digital image. Wavelet matched filtering is used to improve the discrimination capability of the corr...

In this paper, we present new bibliographical reference corpora in digital humanities (DH) that have been developed under a research project, Robust and Language Independent Machine Learning Approaches for Automatic Annotation of Bibliographical References in DH Books supported by Google Digital Humanities Research Awards. The main target is the bibliographical references in the articles of Rev...
