The Mojette transform is an entirely discrete form of the Radon transform developed in 1995. It is exactly invertible with both the forward and inverse transforms requiring only the addition operation. Over the last 10 years it has found many applications including image watermarking and encryption, tomographic reconstruction, robust data transmission and distributed data storage. This paper pr...

In this work we propose a new method to detect arbitrary planar shapes from a previous template and calculate the parameters that define the transformations between the new image and the template. The image contains a perspective projection of the template subjected to two angles transformation, called tilt and pan, a displacement a rotation and a scaling. The method uncouples parameter calcula...

Telexistence is fundamentally a concept named for the technology that enables a human being to have a real-time sensation of being at a place other than where he or she actually exists, and to interact with the remote environment, which may be real, virtual, or a combination of both. It also refers to an advanced type of teleoperation system that enables an operator at the control to perform re...

This paper aims to develop a novel framework to systematically trade-off computational complexity with output distortion in linear multimedia transforms, in an optimal manner. The problem is important in real-time systems where the computational resources available are time-dependent. We solve the real-time adaptation problem by developing an approximate transform framework. There are three key...

Natural Horsemanship is popular among many amateur and professional trainers and as such, has been the subject of recent scientific enquiry. One method commonly adopted by Natural Horsemanship (NH) trainers is that of round pen training (RPT). RPT sessions are usually split into a series of bouts; each including two phases: chasing/flight and chasing offset/flight offset. However, NH training s...

This paper describes a radically different privacy, security and integrity solution. Dispersed Cryptography converts the cloud from a security threat into a security asset by combining a standard stream cipher and the Quotient Ring Transform (QRT). The result is an integrated error correction/encryption algorithm. This encoding disperses data, breaking it into many smaller pieces and scattering...

Transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship occurs globally on a massive scale. The large temperature difference between LNG and water means will boil violently if spilled onto water. This may cause physical explosion known as rapid phase transition (RPT). Since RPT results from complex interplay phenomena several scales, the risk its occurrence is difficult to estimate. In this work, we p...

Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) continues to demonstrate tremendous potential in improving the therapeutic gains radiation by specifically delivering tumors that can be well assessed terms of dosimetry and imaging. Dosimetry external beam is standard practice. This not case, however, RPT. NRG (acronym formed from first letter 3 original groups: National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Bowel Project,...
