Abstract: A method and system for controlling movement of a vehicle. Movement, orientation, and position data of the vehicle is collected. A model of kinematics of the vehicle and its environment is created and a Theory of World model is produced and updated. The model includes geometric algebra multivectors. Errors and noise are stored as geometrically meaningful first-class objects within the multivectors. Geometric algebra operations are used to manipulate the model during operation. Error and noise data are propagated and manipulated using geometric algebra operations to reflect measurement and processing errors or noise. The models are used in generation of control data with a primary intent of ensuring stability. Operations such as intersections are used to compare position, orientation, and movement of the vehicle against position, orientation, and movement of objects in its environment. System tasks include, but are not limited to, kinematics, inverse kinematics, collision avoidance, and dynamics.

Abstract: A device for re-scaling an image to change the resolution with which discrete pixel values represent it includes a scan-line interface (40) and an alignment circuit (45) that assemble sets of the original pixel values into submatrices and apply them to a convolution engine (46), which computes new pixel values from them. X and Y scaling engines (58 and 60) control the re-scaling without having to generate original-pixel address at the rate at which new pixels are generated. The X scaling engine (58) simply indicates whether an output the currently supplied input data should be used to generate an output intensity value and, if so, whether it should be retained for generation of the subsequent intensity value, too. Similarly, the Y scaling engine (60) indicates whether the next scan line to be received should be used for generation of a scan line of output intensity values and, if so, whether it should be retained for generation of a subsequent scan line of output intensity values.
