It has recently been shown how to construct online, non-amortised approximate pattern matching algorithms for a class of problems whose distance functions can be classified as being local. Informally, a distance function is said to be local if for a pattern P of lengthm and any substring T [i, i+m−1] of a text T , the distance between P and T [i, i+m− 1] can be expressed as Σj∆(P [j], T [i+ j])...

A black box method was recently given that solves the problem of online approximate matching for a class of problems whose distance functions can be classified as being local. A distance function is said to be local if for a pattern P of length m and any substring T [i, i+m−1] of a text T , the distance between P and T [i, i + m − 1] is equal to Σj∆(P [j], T [i+ j − 1]), where ∆ is any distance...

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Polyamide 6 / nitrile butadiene rubber / nanoclay (PA6/NBR/clay) nanocomposite has gathered wide acceptance in industry. Laser welding, as a fabrication method, is applied to welding of polymer nanocomposites. In this study, the input parameters (clay (Closite 30B) content, laser power, scan velocity and stand-off-distance) are varied to achieve the best responses (tensile strength of welds). R...
