Interpreting Perspective Images
Two constructive methods are presented: the first finds the orientation of parallel lines and planes and the second determines the orientation of plans by `backprojection’ of two intrinsic properties of contours: angle magnitude and curvature.

Modeling and Using Physical Constraints In Scene Analysis
This paper describes the results obtained in a research program ultimately concerned with deriving a physical sketch of a scene from one or more images. Our approach involves modeling physically meaningful information that can be used to constrain the interpretation process, as well as modeling the actual scene content.

Computational Stereo
We broadly define computational stereo as the recovery of the three-dimensional characteristics of a scene from multiple images taken from different points of view.

Planning Natural-Language Utterances To Satisfy Multiple Goals
This dissertation presents the results of research on a planning formalism for a theory of natural-language generation that will support the generation of utterances that satisfy multiple goals.

Computer-Assisted Analysis of Tomographic Images of the Brain
A computer system for the analysis of computed tomography and positron emission tomography scans of the brain is described.

Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm
Algorithm becomes widely referenced paradigm for computer vision.

Research On Natural-Language Processing At SRI
Two of our major current efforts are a pair of research projects under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency: the TEAM and KLAUS projects. These two projects share a common core-language-processing system called DIALOGIC.

Practical Natural-Language Processing by Computer
This paper describes the state of the art in practical computer systems for natural-language processing. We consider why one would want to use natural language to communicate with computers at all, looking at both general issues and specific applications.

The Database As Model: A Metatheoretic Approach
This paper presents a method of formally representing the information that is available to a user of a relational database. The intended application area is deductive question-answering systems that must access an existing relational database.

Deductive Synthesis Of The Unification Algorithm
The task of deriving a unification algorithm automatically is beyond the power of existing program synthesis systems. We will identify some of the capabilities required of a theorem-proving system to perform this derivation automatically.

Artificial Intelligence: Engineering, Science Or Slogan?
This paper presents the view that artificial intelligence (AI) is primarily concerned with propositional languages for representing knowledge and with techniques for manipulating these representations.

Random Sample Consensus: A Paradigm for Model Fitting with Applications to Image Analysis and Automated Cartography
A major portion of this paper describes the application of RANSAC to the Location Determination Problem (LDP): Given an image depicting a set of landmarks with known locations, determine that point in space from which the image was obtained.
