In this paper we develop the best homogeneous matrix trans- formation to fit two streams of dynamic six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) data for evaluating perception
This paper illustrates the errors due to integration time and size-of-source effects when measuring the temperature of segmented chip formation using infrared
Ontologies can take many forms. There are ontologies that are extremely formal (e.g., using first order logic), and there are ontologies that are much less
