We study the synthesis of small functions used as building blocks in lightweight cryptographic designs in terms of hardware implementations. This phase most notably appears during the ASIC implementation of cryptographic primitives. The quality of this step directly affects the output circuit, and while general tools exist to carry out this task, most of them belong to proprietary software suit...

Road extraction from very high resolution (VHR) satellite images is one of the most important topics in field remote sensing. In this letter, we propose an efficient nonlocal LinkNet with blocks (NLBs) that can grasp relations between global features. This enables each spatial feature point to refer all other contextual information and results more accurate road segmentation. detail, our single...
