Described herein is a general-purpose software engineering architecture for autonomous, computer controlled opponent implementation in modern maneuver warfare simulation and training. The implementation has been developed, refined, and tested in the user crucible for several years. The approach represents a hybrid application of various well-known AI techniques, including domain modeling, agent...

The post-receptoral mechanisms that mediate detection of stimuli in the (DL/L, DM/M) plane of color space were characterized using noise masking. Chromatic masking noises of different chromaticities and spatial configurations were used, and threshold contours for the detection of Gaussian and Gabor tests were measured. The results do not show masking that is narrowly-selective for the chromatic...

In automated negotiation, information gained about an opponent’s preference profile by means of learning techniques may significantly improve an agent’s negotiation performance. It therefore is useful to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the quality of learning. The benefits of learning in negotiation are typically assessed indirectly by means of comparing the utility le...

A result of Bulow and Klemperer has suggested that auctions may be a better tool to obtain an efficient outcome than negotiation. For example, some auction mechanisms can be shown to be efficient and strategy-proof. However, they generally also require that the preferences of at least one side of the auction are publicly known. However, sometimes it is very costly, impossible, or undesirable to...

In this paper we present a new efficient watermarking scheme for images. The basic idea of our method is to alter the colors of the given image in a suitable but imperceptible way. This is accomplished by moving the coordinates of each color in the color opponency space. The scheme is shown to be robust against a large class of image manipulations. The robustness of the scheme is also theoretic...

bstract. We develop real-time, low-complexity image classificaion algorithms suitable for a copy mode selector embedded in a ow-end copier. The algorithms classify scanned images repreented in RGB or in an opponent color space. Classes are the eight ombinations of mono/color and text/mix/picture/photo. Classificaion is 30–98% accurate with misclassifications tending to be beign. The algorithms ...

A study of post-conflict behaviour of aggressor and victim was performed in a group of anubis baboons at the Institute of Medical Primatology. The following three aims have been set: 1) the analysis of post-conflict interactions between the aggressor and victim; 2) the analysis of post-conflict interactions of aggressor and victim with the third individuals; 3) the analysis of post-conflict int...

This paper provides an overview of a variety of applications of knowledge-based systems and intelligent agents to modeling and simulation for special operations training. There are a number of ways in which intelligent agents can support training; including modeling special-operations individuals, other members of the blue forces, as well as opponent forces. The paper presents examples of each ...

Using a hue scaling technique, we have examined the appearance of colored spots produced by shifts from white to isoluminant stimuli along various color vectors in order to examine color appearance without the complications of the combined luminance and chromatic stimulation involved in most previous hue scaling studies, which have used flashes of monochromatic light. We also used spots lying a...
