+* Alignment by Maximization of Mutual Information, Paul A. Viola
+
+  PhD Thesis recommended by Winston. Describes a system that is able
+  to align a 3D computer model of an object with an image of that
+  object.

+  - Pages 9-19 is a very adequate intro to the algorithm.
+  
+  - Has a useful section on entropy and probability at the beginning
+    which is worth reading, especially the part about entropy.
+
+  - Differential entropy seems a bit odd -- you would think that it
+    should be the same as normal entropy for a discrete distrubition
+    embedded in continuous space. How do you measure the entropy of a
+    half continuous, half discrete random variable?

+  - Expectation Maximation (Mixture of Gaussians cool stuff)

+  - Good introduction to Parzen Window Density Estimation. Parzen
+    density functions trade construction time for evaulation
+    time.(Pg. 41)
+
+  Occlusion? Seems a bit holistic.
