Military tanks, cargo or troop carriers, missile carriers or rocket launchers often hide themselves from detection in the forests. This plagues the detection problem of locating these hidden targets. An electro-optic camera mounted on a surveillance aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle is used to...

Classification of data as true or fabricated has applications in fraud detection and verification of data samples. In this paper, we apply nonlinear filtering to a simplified fraud-detection problem: classifying coin flip sequences as either real or faked. On the way, we propose a method for...

A CAPTCHA is an automatically generated test designed to distinguish between humans and computer programs; specifically, they are designed to be easy for humans but difficult for computer programs to pass in order to prevent the abuse of resources by automated bots. They are commonly seen...

In this thesis, we develop a novel method of generating CAPTCHAs, which are used to protect online resources from abuse by computer agents. We view CAPTCHA generation as random field simulation and construct a CAPTCHA by evolving an initial state via resimulating pixels until the image becomes...

A real-time algorithm to produce correlated random fields on general undirected graphs has been used in CAPTCHA generation and optical character recognition. This algorithm can not simulate all possible joint graph distributions but does match all marginal vertex distributions as well as...
