A multi-resolution basis can provide a useful representation of nonstationary two dimensional spatial processes that are typically encountered in the geosciences. The main advantages are its flexibility for representing departures from stationarity and also the scalability of algorithms to large numbers of spatial locations. The key ingredients of our approach are the availability of fast trans...

Edge detection is an important assignment in image processing, as it is used as a primary tool for pattern recognition, image segmentation and scene analysis. Simply put, an edge detector is a high-pass filter that can be applied for extracting the edge points within an image. Edge detection in the spatial domain is accomplished through convolution with a set of directional derivative masks in ...

This paper extends the proposed method by Jahanshahloo et al. (2004) (a method for generating all the efficient solutions of a 0–1 multi-objective linear programming problem, Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research). This paper considers the recession direction for a multi-objective integer linear programming (MOILP) problem and presents necessary and sufficient conditions to have unbounde...

Transportation problem is a linear programming which considers minimum cost for shipping a product from some origins to other destinations such as from factories to warehouse, or from a warehouse to supermarkets. To solve this problem simplex algorithmis utilized. In real projects costs and the value of supply and demands are fuzzy numbers and it is expected that optimal solutions for determini...

In multi-objective convex optimization it is necessary to compute an infinite set of nondominated points. We propose a method for approximating the nondominated set of a multi-objective nonlinear programming problem, where the objective functions and the feasible set are convex. This method is an extension of Benson’s outer approximation algorithm for multi-objective linear programming problems...

The linear multi-baseline stereo system introduced by the CMU-RI group has been proven to be a very effective and robust stereovision system. However, most traditional stereo rectification algorithms are all designed for binocular stereovision system, and so, cannot be applied to a linear multi-baseline system. This paper presents a simple and intuitional method that can simultaneously rectify ...

A comprehensive approach for real-time computations using a database of parameterized linear reducedorder models (ROMs) is proposed. The method proceeds by sampling offline ROMs for specific values of the parameters and interpolating online the associated reduced operators. In the offline phase, a preprocessing step transforms the reduced operators into consistent sets of generalized coordinate...

Efficient representation of visual information lies at the foundation of many image processing tasks, including compression, filtering, and feature extraction. Efficiency of a representation refers to the ability to capture significant information of an object of interest in a small description. For practical applications, this representation has to be realized by structured transforms and fast...

A water soluble, Bronsted acid, 5-sulfosalicylic acid as an efficient organocatalyst was used for the synthesis of physiologically active 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol at reflux condition. Cost-effectiveness, use of non-hazardous solvents, metal free and commercially available catalyst, single-step, environmentally fri...

Fourier transform has been shown to be a powerful tool in many area of science. However, there is another class of unitary transforms, the wavelet transforms, which are as useful as the Fourier transform. Wavelet transforms are used to expose the multi-scale structure of a signal and very useful for image processing and data compression. In this paper, we construct quantum algorithms for Haar w...
