Our purpose is to ensure that people and institutions better manage information through digital libraries (DLs). Thus we address a fundamental human and social need, which is particularly urgent in the modern Information ...

Binarization of Fresnel holograms by direct thresholding based on the polarity of the fringe pattern is studied. It is found that if the hologram is binarized (i.e., for black and white hologram pixels) in this manner, ...

Signal processing for low-finesse fiber-optic Fabry-Perot sensors based on white-light interferometry is investigated. The problem is demonstrated as analogous to the parameter estimation of a noisy, real, discrete harmonic ...

This paper documents the domain engineering process for much of the conflation algorithms domain. Empirical data on the process and products of domain engineering were collected. Six conflation algorithms of four different ...

Robust design optimization (RDO) uses statistical decision theory and optimization techniques to optimize a design over a range of uncertainty (introduced by the manufacturing process and unintended uses). Since engineering ...

We consider the problem of reducing a potentially very large dataset to a subset of representative prototypes. Rather than searching over the entire space of prototypes, we first roughly divide the data into balanced ...

Locally linear classification by pairwise coupling addresses a nonlinear classification problem by three basic phases: decompose the classes of complex concepts into linearly separable subclasses, learn a linear classifier ...

A software-based approach to achieve high performance within a power budget often involves dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). Consequently, accurately predicting the power consumption of an application at different ...

Past research has demonstrated that, by downsampling the source object scene in multiple directions, a binary Fresnel hologram can be generated to preserve favorable quality on the reconstructed image. In this paper, we ...

As core counts increase and as heterogeneity becomes more common in parallel computing, we face the prospect of pro gramming hundreds or even thousands of concurrent threads in a single shared-memory system. At these scales, ...
