In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse different wavelet techniques for image compression. Both hand-designed and lifting based wavelets are considered. Hand designed wavelets considered in this work are Haar wavelet, Daubechie wavelet, Biorthognal wavelet, Demeyer wavelet, Coiflet wavelet and Symlet wavelet. Lifting based wavelet transforms considered are 5/3 and 9/7. Wide range of ...

In this paper, a new lifting-based shape-direction-adapti discrete wavelet transform (SDA-DWT) which can be used for arbitraril shaped segments is proposed. The SDA-DWT contains three major techniques: the lifting-based DWT, the adaptive directional technique, and the concept of object-based compression in MPEG-4. With SDA-DWT, the number of transformed coefficients is equal to the number of pi...

Given two polynomials F and G in R[x1, . . . , xn], we are going to find the nontrivial approximate GCD C and polynomials F , G ∈ R[x1, . . . , xn] such that ||F − CF ′|| < and ||G − CG′|| < , for some and some well defined norm. Many papers 1,2,3,5,8,10,11,13,15 have already discussed the problem in the case n = 1. Few of them 2,10,11 mentioned the case n > 1. Approximate GCD computation of un...

We show methods to extract Craig-Lyndon interpolants and access interpolants from clausal first-order tableaux as produced by automated first-order theorem provers based on model elimination, the connection method, the hyper tableau calculus and instance-based methods in general. Smullyan introduced an elegant method for interpolant extraction from “non-clausal” first-order tableaux. We transfe...

The Wim Sweldens developed the lifting scheme for the construction of biorthogonal wavelets. The main feature of the lifting scheme is that all constructions are derived in the spatial domain. It does not require complex mathematical calculations that are required in traditional methods. Lifting scheme is simplest and efficient algorithm to calculate wavelet transforms. It does not depend on Fo...

Weight predictions used to scale lifting forces adapt quickly when repeatedly lifting unusually weighted objects and are readily updated by explicit information provided about weight. In contrast, weight predictions used when making perceptual judgments about weight are more resistant to change and are largely unaffected by explicit information about weight. These observations suggest that dist...

BACKGROUND Occupational heavy lifting is known to impose a high cardiovascular strain, but the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) from occupational heavy lifting is unknown. The objective was to investigate the association between occupational heavy lifting and risk of IHD and all-cause mortality, and the influence of occupational and leisure time physical activity on this association. METH...

Monitoring thousands of objects which are deployed over large-hard-to-reach areas, is an important application of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Such an application requires disseminating a large amount of data within the WSN. This data includes, but is not limited to, the object's location and the environment conditions at that location. WSNs require efficient data processing and dissemi...

Generic algebraic libraries run the risk of losing eeciency compared to non-generic libraries. To solve the seeming antagonism between genericity and eeciency, we propose a technique which we call lifting. The lifting process is an abstraction process which starts with a well-known eecient algorithm and abstracts carefully from it. As lifting guarantees that fast non-generic algorithms instanti...
