This paper introduces a new method named a ring delay chain for exact measure of pulse cycle error. This method can measure a few nanoseconds error and does not need any high frequency device. Application of t...
Article
The performance of Heapsort algorithms on arbitrary input is examined. It is proved that ann logn−O(n) lower bound on the number of comparisons holds for a set of Heapsort algorithms, including Williams-Floyd's a...

Very short-term forecasting of rainfall amounts on small watersheds can be achieved by extrapolating the advection of rain cells perceived as “echoes” on weather radar images. Pattern recognition oriented appr...

Applications and interest on artificial neural networks (ANN) have been increasing in recent years. Applications include pattern matching, associative memory, image processing and word recognition (Simpson 199...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, the notion of quasi-full Steiner tree (QFST) is introduced which is an extension of full Steiner tree (FST). We discuss some properties of QFST,and present a generating algorithm for obtaining a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Insect walking has long been a subject of investigation for neurobiologists interested in rhythmic behaviors (review: Delcomyn, 1985). To date most research on insect locomotion had focused on the problem of p...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we demonstrate that vision, speech and language may exhibit self-organizing dynamic properties including transitions between perceptual states, multistability, instability, and hysteresis. Theses...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, we present a Hierarchical Interactive Reasoning approach for hand-written form processing, and describe an application of this approach to a prototype form processing system. A priori domain kno...
Article
Earlier performance studies of multiple-bus multiprocessor systems assume a random selection of competing requests for bus assignment and ignore the effects of realistic bus arbitration schemes on the performa...
Article
A computationally efficient, obstacle avoidance algorithm for redundant robots is presented in this paper. This algorithm incorporates the neural networks and pseudodistance function D p in the framework of resol...
Chapter and Conference Paper
How to correct the shape variations of handwritten Chinese characters is very important in off-line handwritten Chinese character recognition. In order to get rid of shape variations and reduce within-category...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents a new coarse classification method based on combination of two independent approaches for on-line Chinese character recognition (OLCCR). Through introducing a feedback control provided by t...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recognition confidence plays an important role in the selection of rejection threshold and the combination of multiple classifiers. In this paper, we first present a systematic theory on classifier's confidenc...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Conceptual product design involves a series of the designer’s creative thinking processes and consecutive communication with other disciplines are required in this stage to reach a final solution. During this ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a noninvasive technique for evaluat ing the microstructure of foods and other materials. CLSM provides several sequential subsurface layers of two-dimensional (2-D)...
Chapter and Conference Paper
An authoring system is proposed to construct panoramic images of real-world scenes from video clips automatically. Instead of using special hardware such as fish-eye lens, our method is less hardware-intensive...
