This paper is intended to review the existing hierarchical multiprocessor machines dedicated to Image Processing (IP). S ome general design concepts are given and compared in terms of hardware and sofware complexity. -.

This paper proposes a new model of information related to virtual collaboration, the Information Pyramid of Virtual Collaboration. It encompasses information about objects and actions that make up action patterns at different levels of granularity. Information at these levels ranges from fine-grained system events to entire work processes. Information items at a given level of the Information P...

In this paper we present a perceptual distortion mea sure that predicts image integrity far better than mean squared error This perceptual distortion measure is based on a model of human visual processing that ts empirical measurements of the psychophysics of spatial pattern de tection The model of human visual processing proposed involves two major components a steerable pyramid trans form and...

The paper evaluates the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) Hierarchy. This hierarchy is part of the canon of information science and management. The paper considers whether the hierarchy, also known as the ‘Knowledge Hierarchy’, is a useful and intellectually desirable construct to introduce, whether the views expressed about DIKW are true and have evidence in favour of them, and whether ...

An image fusion is from a combination of two or more source images corresponding to the image information into a single process. The information displayed in the modified image of the combination shows a higher quality. The quality of an image depends on its perception quality, resolution and contrast. In this paper, we have applied Pyramid Decomposition based on image fusion techniques, which ...

Most of all index structures based on the R-tree have failed to support ecient indexing mechanisms for similarity search in high-dimensional data spaces. This is due to the fact that most of the index structures commonly use balanced split strategy in order to guarantee storage utilization and the shape of queries for similarity search is a hypersphere in high-dimensional spaces. In this paper...
