Fisher information (I) is investigated for confined hydrogen atom (CHA)-like systems in conjugate $r$ and $p$ spaces. A comparative study between CHA and free H atom (with respect to $I$) is pursued. In many aspects, inferences in CHA are…
Image of a scene captured through a piece of transparent and reflective material, such as glass, is often spoiled by a superimposed layer of reflection image. While separating the reflection from a familiar object in an image is mentally…
Trajectories in human aimed movements are inherently variable. Using the concept of positional variance profiles, such trajectories are shown to be decomposable into two phases: In a first phase, the variance of the limb position over many…
The focus of this paper is a key component of a methodology for understanding, interpolating, and predicting fish movement patterns based on spatiotemporal data recorded by spatially static acoustic receivers. Unlike GPS trackers which emit…
In tasks such as surveying or monitoring remote regions, an autonomous robot must move while transmitting data over a wireless network with unknown, position-dependent transmission rates. For such a robot, this paper considers the problem…
We propose a new technique for estimating spatially varying parametric materials from a single image of an object with unknown shape in unknown illumination. Our method uses a low-order parametric reflectance model, and incorporates strong…
This paper presents a novel problem of creating and regulating localization and navigation illusions considering two agents: a receiver and a producer. A receiver is moving on a plane localizing itself using the intensity of signals from…

The ability to accurately predict the surrounding environment is a foundational principle of intelligence in biological and artificial agents. In recent years, a variety of approaches have been proposed for learning to predict the physical…
Visual perception and navigation have emerged as major focus areas in the field of embodied artificial intelligence. We consider the task of image-goal navigation, where an agent is tasked to navigate to a goal specified by an image,…
Mirror reflections are common in everyday environments and can provide stereo information within a single capture, as the real and reflected virtual views are visible simultaneously. We exploit this property by treating the reflection as an…
We study an inverse first-hitting problem for a one-dimensional, time-homogeneous diffusion $X(t)$ reflected between two boundaries $a$ and $b,$ which starts from a random position $\eta.$ Let $a \le S \le b$ be a given threshold, such that…
It is shown that the diffusion equation and its adjoint (time reversed) equation can be derived with only a few assumptions, using an information-theoretic approach based on the principle of minimum Fisher information
In this position paper, we consider the state of computer vision research with respect to invariance to the horizontal orientation of an image -- what we term reflection invariance. We describe why we consider reflection invariance to be an…
The classic trilateration technique can localize each target based on its distances to three anchors with known coordinates. Usually, this technique requires all the anchors and targets, e.g., the satellites and the mobile phones in Global…
We study the two dimensional system influenced by a non-central potential consisting of a Kratzer potential with a dipole moment, along with a vector potential of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. We explore various information theoretic…
Imitation learning has been commonly applied to solve different tasks in isolation. This usually requires either careful feature engineering, or a significant number of samples. This is far from what we desire: ideally, robots should be…
Single-object tracking is a well-known and challenging research topic in computer vision. Over the last two decades, numerous researchers have proposed various algorithms to solve this problem and achieved promising results. Recently,…
Establishing bounds on the accuracy achievable by localization techniques represents a fundamental technical issue. Bounds on localization accuracy have been derived for cases in which the position of an agent is estimated on the basis of a…
In competitive games with private objectives, actions can reveal information about hidden parameters. Quantifying such information revelation, however, is substantially more challenging, since it depends not only on the opponent's hidden…
