Content-Adaptive Video Up-Scaling

The introduction of High Definition Television (HDTV) asks for spatial up-conversion techniques in order to enable the displaying of standard definition material (SDTV). Recently, X. Li and M. Orchard proposed the “New Edge-Directed Interpolation” (NEDI) algorithm for high quality up-scaling of natural images. In this paper, we first analyze and evaluate this technique, and then propose a numbe...

Scaling up software architecture analysis

This paper will show how architecture design and analysis techniques rest on a small number of foundational principles. We will show how those principles have been instantiated as a core set of techniques. These techniques, combined together, have resulted in several highly successful architecture analysis and design methods. Finally, we will show how these foundations, and the techniques that ...

Scaling Up

Most analytical and experimental results on evolutionary programming (EP) are obtained using low-dimensional problems, e.g., smaller than 50. It is unclear, however, whether the empirical results obtained from the low-dimensional problems still hold for high-dimensional cases. This paper investigates the behaviour of four diierent EP algorithms for large-scale problems, i.e., problems whose dim...

Scaling - Up or Out

Insatiable demands for performance and the availability of inexpensive microprocessors have led to the development of multiprocessor-based systems. Passionate debates amongst architects, designers, and vendors continue to rage regarding cost effective multiprocessor design alternatives. Hypes and claims of performance and scalability are confusing and often misleading. Increasing performance an...
