Recent research has shown that invariant indexing can speed up the recognition process in computer vision. Extraction of invariant features can be done by choosing first a canonical reference frame, and then features in this reference frame. This paper gives methods for extracting invariants for planar curves under affine and projective transformations. The invariants can be used semilocally to re

The problem with uncertainty is increas

Mobile terminals that have the possibility to make intersystem handovers will increase in numbers and importance as the interaction between wireless networks evolve. New services and applications are pushing this system development. Users want their mobile terminal to be able to make seamless handovers both within the present wireless network as well as to other wireless systems. In this paper suc

There is much to learn from listening to audience discussion about a popular and rapidly changing television genre. Audience responses to reality TV can provide i
Our Nordic Sappho. Classical and modern features in Sophia Elisabeth Brenner's poetry. This essay explores how Mrs. Brenner made use of classical mythology and history when composing poems in Swedish. For instance, when celebrating King Charles XII's victory at Narva in 1700, she made allusions to Julius Caesar, and in her introductory poem to a guide in obstetrics she brought in Juno and Pliny
