Visually guided object grasping (1997)
Radu Horaud, Associate Member, Fadi Dornaika, Bernard Espiau
Abstract—In this paper, we present a visual servoing approach to the problem of object grasping and more generally, to the problem of aligning an end-effector with an object. First we extend the...
Efficient Triangular Surface Approximations using Wavelets and Quadtree Data Structures (1996)
Markus H. Gross, Associate Member, Oliver G. Staadt, Roger Gatti
We present a new method for adaptive surface meshing and triangulation which controls the local level-ofdetail of the surface approximation by local spectral estimates. These estimates are determined...

Near-optimal critical sink routing tree constructions (1995)
Kenneth D. Boese, Andrew B. Kahng, Associate Member, Bernard A. Mccoy, Gabriel Robins
Abstract-We present critical-sink routing tree (CSRT) con-structions which exploit available critical-path information to yield high-performance routing trees. Our CS-Steiner and “global slack...

Efficient frequency-domain modeling and circuit simulation of transmission lines (1994)
L. Miguel Silveira, Student Member, Ibrahim M. Elfadel, Jacob K. White, Associate Member, Moni Chilukuri, ...
Abstract--In this paper we describe an algorithm for efficient SPICE-level simulation of transmission lines with arbitrary scattering parameter descriptions. That is, the line can be represented in...
Matching-based methods for high-performance clock routing (1993)
Jason Cong, Andrew B. Kahng, Associate Member, Gabriel Robins
Abstract--Minimizing clock skew is important in the design of high performance VLSI systems. We present a general clock routing scheme that achieves very small clock skews while still using a...
Fuzzy random fields and unsupervised image segmentation (1993)
Hne Caillol, Alain Hillion, Associate Member, Wojciech Pieczynski
Abstract--This paper deals with the statistical unsupervised im-age segmentation using fuzzy random fields. We introduce a new fuzzy model containing two components: a "hard "...

Provably good performance-driven global routing (1992)
Jingsheng Cong, Andrew B. Kahng, Associate Member, Gabriel Robins, Majid Sarrafzadeh, C. K. Wong
Abstract-We propose a provably good performance-driven global routing algorithm for both cell-based and building-block design. The approach is based on a new bounded-radius mini-mum routing tree...

A new class of iterative Steiner tree heuristics with good performance (1992)
Andrew B. Kahng, Associate Member, Gabriel Robins, Student Member
problem is very important for such aspects of physical layout as global routing and wiring estimation. Virtually all previous heuristics for computing rectilinear Steiner trees begin with a minimum...
Optimized Synthesis Techniques for Testable Sequential Circuits; in (1992)
Bernhard Eschermann, Hans-joachim Wunderlich, Associate Member
Abstract-Innovative synthesis for testability strategies aim at considering testability while synthesizing a circuit, whereas conventional design for testability methods modify the design after the...

The Pseudo-Exhaustive Test of Sequential Circuits; in (1989)
Hans-joachim Wunderlich, Sybille Hellebr, Associate Member, Associate Member
Abstract-The concept of a pseudoexhaustive test for sequen-tial circuits is introduced in a way similar to that which is used for combinational networks. Using partial scan all cycles in the data...
Multilevel Circuit Partitioning
Charles J. Alpert, Jen-Hsin Huang, Andrew B. Kahng, Associate Member
Many previous works [3] [7] [17] [33] [40] in partitioning have used some underlying clustering algorithm to improve performance. As problem sizes reach new levels of complexity, a single application...
