A Parallel Line Clipping Algorithm and Its Implementation
نویسنده
چکیده
A parallel line clipping algorithm and its implementation on a parallel clipping hardware environment are presented. We first develop a simple theory to show that parallel clipping is possible for all types of line segments. We then present the architecture of a hardware environment based on which parallel clipping is to be implemented. The parallel line clipping algorithm and its implementation on the parallel clipping hardware environment are presented finally. Based on our approach, only 141 cycles are required to clip a line segment. The corresponding figure for the famous J. Clark’s Geometry Engine is 160 cycles.

A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
