Long-lived goal reasoning systems that reason over their history confront the bounding problem–the impracticality of reasoning over a large, ever-growing experience-base. This is a problem with some explanation systems that use the history of their observations to inform beliefs about the current state of the world. We propose to apply narrative intelligence (NI), which includes the ability to ...

Bounding surfaces and interdune deposits provide keys for detailed interpretations of the development, shape, type, wavelength and angle of climb of aeolian bedforms, as well as overall sand sea conditions. Current alternate interpretations of bounding surfaces require very different, but testable models for sand sea deposition. Two perpendicular traverses of Jurassic Entrada Sandstone, Utah, r...

An effective technique for detecting and tracking moving vehicles in a typical parking lot is implemented. The technique involves adaptive realtime background subtraction and shadow removal followed by a set of morphological operations in order to enhance the foreground mask. The mask is then used to draw a distinct bounding box over the moving vehicles in the original video sequence. The outpu...
