Abstract—The excellent bit error rate performance of new iterative decoding algorithms (e.g., turbodecoding) is achieved at the expense of a computationally burdensome decoding p...
An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...
Abstract—This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for preprocessing document images prior to binarization in character recognition problems. Our method is similar in its approac...
The problem of arranging two-dimensional arrays of data into one-dimensional sequences comes up in image processing, color quantization, and optical and magnetic data recording. A ...
Image searching is a creative process. We have proposed a novel image retrieval system that supports creative search sessions by allowing the user to organise their search results ...
