Parallel Image Processing System on a Cluster of Personal Computers (Best Student Paper Award: First Prize)

The most demanding image processing applications require real time processing often using special purpose hardware The work herein presented refers to the application of cluster computing for o line image processing where the end user bene ts from the operation of otherwise idle processors in the local LAN The virtual parallel computer is composed by o the shelf personal computers connected by ...

Query Processing on Personal Computers: A Pragmatic Approach (Extended Abstract)

We present a query processing strategy for personal computers that requires at most a single sequential scan of the database for nearly all queries. On personal computers, most queries are ad-hoe, produce little output, and operate on small databases limited by secondary storage. For these queries we can use the relatively large amount of main memory to offset the slow secondary storage accesse...

Assessing of Fabric Appearance Changes Using Image Processing Techniques

 This paper describes the use of image processing to measure lightness changes of fabric appearance. The lightness changes due to dyeing, washing and exposure to light treatments are studied. These properties are measured by using the changes in the intensity levels of the fabrics image and the L* obtained by a spectrophotometer. For each case, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carded out and the...

Search Engine on Personal Computers

Domain specific search engines have pleased many Internet users and have been keeping some companies alive. Lately, universities and some non-IT companies have been adapting to this technology. These organizations very often allocate small amount of money and small number of computers to search engine projects. The YASE! (Yet Another Search Engine) project is a domain specific engine running on...
