This paper proposes, a method modified Gradient image as input to the watershed transform algorithm this is compared with Fast Level Set method. The method is feasible in medical imaging and deserves. It could be used to segment the white matter, brain tumor and other small and simple structured organs in CT and MR images. In this paper used Gradient watershed transform and Fast Level Set metho...

An Asynchronous Gated Ring Oscillator based Time to Digital Converter (A-GRO-TDC) is proposed. Gating functionality is added to a simple Ring Oscillator which drastically improves the system performance with asynchronous operation. Energy saving is possible due to scrambling and first order noise shaping. The proposed 9 bit A-GRO-TDC is implemented in Cadence using 0. 18μm digital CMOS Technolo...

The square root is a basic arithmetic operation in image and signal processing. We present a novel pipelined architecture to implement N-bit fixed-point square root operation on an FPGA using a non-restoring pipelined algorithm that does not require floating-point hardware. Pipelining hazards in its hardware realization are avoided by modifying the classic non-restoring algorithm, thus resultin...

Fractal image coding can provide a high compression rate and an excellent image quality. But it consumes long encoding time, which leads to the result that it is not dominant in the image compression field. In the encoding process, most of the time is spent on searching for the best-matched block between an input range block and a large pool of domain blocks. In order to reduce encoding time, t...

In this paper, some definitions and traditional formulas for calculating the mobility of mechanisms are represented, e.g. Grubler formula, Somov - Malyshev formula, and Buchsbaum - Freudenstei. It is discussed that there are certain cases in which they are too ambiguous and incorrect to use. However, a matrix method is suggested based on the rank of the Jacobian of the mechanism and its applica...

Researchers have come up with many high level security protocols and key management algorithms that can be applied for different types of networks. The main characteristics of wireless sensor networks that are limited computation and power made it difficult to apply these secure key management algorithms since it consumes much power and resources. Sensors in the field at different periods of ti...

An ad-hoc wireless sensor network is also called self-organized networking that wireless sensor nodes can automatically communicate for each other. Therefore, each sensor node is no need for the information such as location of each sensor. Similarly, it consumes much energy on the information exchanged of each sensor node in order to maintain the entire ad-hoc wireless sensor network alive. The...
