TL;DR: The current implementation of SAMON is presented, along with a formal model based on process algebra, which expresses a generalized optimization framework that contains genetic algorithms, and neural networks as limiting cases.
Abstract: The “Ocean SAmpling MObile Network” (SAMON) Project is a simulation testbed for Web-based interaction among oceanographers and simulation based design of Ocean Sampling missions. In this paper, the current implementation of SAMON is presented, along with a formal model based on process algebra. Flexible optimization handles planning, mobility, evolution, and learning. A generic behavior message-passing language is developed for communication and knowledge representation among heterogeneous Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (AUV’s). The process algebra subsumed in this language expresses a generalized optimization framework that contains genetic algorithms, and neural networks as limiting cases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a feature-based approach is taken to reduce the computational burden involved in the registration search process, which can be applied not only to 3D data but also to 2D images.
Abstract: This paper describes an efficient system for the registration of Range maps in the compressed wavelet domain. A feature-based approach is taken to reduce the computational burden involved in the registration search process. Efficient and accurate registration of range or depth maps is an important problem in military, medical and manufacturing applications. The techniques described can be applied not only to 3D data but also to 2D images. We illustrate registration results on a range of real scenes.© (1999) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
