Automatic generation of object recognition programs
Article Abstract:
A new technique is developed for the efficient generation of visual recognition programs through the automatic compilation of object and sensor models. Such programs utilize visual data to recognize and locate objects in 3-D space. The technique consists of five main components: object modeling, sensor modeling, prediction of appearances, strategy generation and program generation. Object modeling involves extracting aspects and compiling an object model into an interpretation tree. Sensor modeling requires a qualitative description of the sensor plus quantitative descriptions of its detectability and reliability. Appearance modeling addresses aspects of topologically similar attribute classes. A recognition tree is generated from the aspects, and the object-oriented programming is used to develop the executable recognition program.

Hierarchical flow control: a framework for scheduling and planning discrete events in manufacturing systems
Article Abstract:
Manufacturing environments require systems sensitive to such discrete events as machine failure, setups, and demand changes. The hierarchical framework presented for modeling the scheduling and planning of such systems has a structure based on characteristics of the specific type of production being controlled. Levels of hierarchy in the model correspond to classes of events with distinct frequencies of occurrence. Most calculations in this hierarchy handle expected rates of high frequency activities conditioned on current states of low frequency activities. Rates in the hierarchy are limited because only one activity can occur at one resource at any one time. A dynamic programming problem predicts the rates found at each level, and the times of controllable events are selected to correspond to these rates.

Generation scheduling and control
Article Abstract:
The Automatic Generation Control (AGC) program is the main provider for control of the electrical power output of generators to supply changing customer power demand economically. System characteristics of AGC and current practices of the program design and operation are summarized. The future nature of the AGC program may be changed by current issues including fuel scheduling, dispersed generation technologies, and advanced load management techniques.

objects in the slides are different from each other, however very similar in
appearance. Picture, if you will, hundreds of wrenches all of different sizes. I
am looking for a product that will differentiate a 9 mm wrench from a 13 mm
wrench made by the same manufacturer. That is the task I face. Does your approach offer a
process that would facilitate this process?
