Changing Aspects of Machine Vision Technologies

Changing Technologies of HPC

In 1993 for the rst time a list of the top 500 supercomputer sites worldwide has been made available. The Top500 list allows a much more detailed and well founded analysis of the state of high performance computing. Previously data such as the number and geographical distribution of supercomputer installations were di cult to obtain, and only a few analysts undertook the e ort to track the pres...

Machine vision

This text is intended to provide a balanced introduction to machine vision. Basic concepts are introduced with only essential mathematical elements. The details to allow implementation and use of vision algorithm in practical application are provided, and engineering aspects of techniques are emphasized. This text intentionally omits theories of machine vision that do not have sufficient practi...

Compression with Vision Technologies

In this paper, we propose a method for image compression in which currently developed vision technologies are incorporated with traditional transform-based coding methods. Based on newly developed vision technologies, we present two coding-oriented inpainting methods: structure-aware inpainting and object-based inpainting. Examples show the effectiveness of these inpainting methods on informati...

Emerging technologies: chemical aspects

Consumer demands for high-quality foods with ‘‘fresh-like’’ characteristics that require only a minimum amount of effort and time for preparation has led to the introduction of convenience foods preserved by mild treatments. Non-thermal methods allow the processing of foods below temperatures used during thermal pasteurisation, so flavours, essential nutrients, and vitamins undergo minimal or n...
