We propose an Eulerian description of the bounce-back boundary condition based on the high-order implicit time marching schemes to improve the accuracy of lattice Boltzmann simulation in the vicinity of curved boundary. The Eulerian description requires only one grid spacing between fluid nodes when the second-order accuracy in time and space is desired, although high-order accurate boundary co...

Single-chip digital cameras use a color filter array and subsequent interpolation strategy to produce full-color images. While the design of the interpolation algorithm can be grounded in traditional sampling theory, the fact that the sampled data is distributed among three different color planes adds a level of complexity. Existing interpolation methods are usually derived from general numeric...

Presented in the context of classical molecular mechanics and dynamics are multilevel summation methods for the fast calculation of energies/forces for pairwise interactions, which are based on the hierarchical interpolation of interaction potentials on multiple grids. The concepts and details underlying multigrid interpolation are described. For integration of molecular dynamics the use of dif...

In this paper, we present performance of pilot based channel estimation techniques such as Least Squares (LS) and Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) for different interpolation methods and modulation schemes. The performance is evaluated using the mean squared error (MSE) as the performance metric of interest for downlink LTE system. Simulation results show that for low SNR environment, a...

Due to the optics used in endoscopes, a typical degradation observed in endoscopic images are barrel-type distortions. In this work we investigate the impact of methods used to correct such distortions in images on the classification accuracy in the context of automated celiac disease classification. For this purpose we compare various different distortion correction methods and apply them to e...

sustainable management of limited land and water resources is urgently needed to meet the increasing demand for food and to protect the environment. land suitability analysis is a prerequisite in assessing and proposing sustainable land use alternatives for an area. soil data are usually available at different levels of detail and stored in various forms, usually soil maps and/or soil observati...

Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...

Dedicated to our friend and mentor, Prof David Gottlieb, on the occasion of his 60 th birthday We discuss the use of Padé-Legendre interpolants as an approach for the postprocessing of data contaminated by Gibbs oscillations. A fast interpolation based reconstruction is proposed and its excellent performance illustrated on several problems. Almost non-oscillatory behavior is shown without knowl...

The present study dealt with the problem of interpolating a continuous digital elevation model (DEM) from contour lines. Several methods were developed that make use of an interpolation algorithm. The basic idea behind the methodology has been the use of tools provided in a standard raster geographic information system (GIS) environment and the avoidance of problems related to the triangulation...

This invited contribution first reviews basic features of multivariate interpolation by radial basis functions, before selected of its advanced topics are addressed, including recent results concerning local polyharmonic spline interpolation. The latter is one main ingredient of a novel class of adaptive meshfree semi-Lagrangian methods for transport problems. The construction of these particle...
