In this paper, we describe an application for face recognition. Many studies have used local descriptors to characterize a face, the performance of these local descriptors remain low by global descriptors (working on the entire image). The application of local descriptors (cutting image into blocks) must be able to store both the advantages of global and local methods in the Discrete Cosine Tra...

In this paper, a novel contrast enhancement technique for contrast enhancement of a low-contrast satellite image has been proposed based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete cosine transform (DCT). The singular value matrix represents the intensity information of the given image and any change on the singular values change the intensity of the input image. The proposed techniq...

Materials which catalyse the reduction of gas phase nitrogen oxides (NOx), from combustion devices such as diesel engines, are needed to meet emissions regulations and improve air quality. Here we use flow tube engine laboratory systems investigate an iron silicate material (LowCat) catalyses CO oxidation NOx simultaneously is effective at low temperatures. LowCat’s potential for mitigation was...

This paper presents a technique for finding the optimal initial weight for adaptive filter by using difference equation. The obtained analytical response of the system identifies the appropriate weights for the system and shows that the MSE depends on the initial weight. The proposed technique is applied to eliminate the known frequency power line interference (PLI) signal in the electrocardiog...

The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) is an aftertreatment device used to attain a reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions for Diesel and lean burn engines. The LNT is typically used as a storage device, capturing NOx during lean engine operation. The trap can be regenerated by controlling the exhaust air-fuel ratio to create a rich gas mixture. Under rich conditions, the stored NOx is released and catalytical...

The integrability of the N -cosine model, a N -field generalization of the sine-Gordon model, is investigated. We establish to first order in conformal perturbation theory that, for arbitrary N , the model possesses a quantum conserved current of Lorentz spin 3 on a submanifold of the parameter space where the interaction becomes marginal. The integrability of the model on this submanifold is f...

The discrete cosine transform (DCT), introduced by Ahmed, Natarajan and Rao, has been used in many applications of digital signal processing, data compression and information hiding. There are four types of the discrete cosine transform. In simulating the discrete cosine transform, we propose a generalized discrete cosine transform with three parameters, and prove its orthogonality for some new...

This paper presents a cost-effective processor core design that features the simplest hardware and is suitable for discrete cosine transform/indiscrete cosine transform (DCT/IDCT) operations in H.263 and digital camera. This design combines the techniques of fast direct two-dimensional DCT algorithm, the bit-level adder-based distributed arithmetic, and common subexpression sharing to reduce th...
