A new algorithm is proposed for updating the weights of an adaptive filter. The proposed algorithm is a modification of an existing method, namely, the clipped LMS, and uses a three-level quantization (+1, 0,−1) scheme that involves the threshold clipping of the input signals in the filter weight update formula. Mathematical analysis shows the convergence of the filter weights to the optimum Wi...

This paper proposes a modification to the traditional binary search algorithm in which it checks the presence of the input element with the middle element of the given set of elements at each iteration. Modified binary search algorithm optimizes the worst case of the binary search algorithm by comparing the input element with the first & last element of the data set along with the middle elemen...

Firefly algorithm is one of the new metaheuristic algorithms for optimization problems. The algorithm is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies. In the algorithm, randomly generated solutions will be considered as fireflies, and brightness is assigned depending on their performance on the objective function. One of the rules used to construct the algorithm is, a firefly will be attracte...

Image matching is an important task. There are many available methods for occluded image matching. In this paper we propose new simple image-matching algorithm, modified chamfer matching algorithm (MCMA). Distance transform and conventional chamfer matching algorithm are explained. Examples to demonstrate the algorithm and necessary results are also included. Proposed MCMA is robust, and to an ...

Given a sequence of N elements a1, a2, a3, ..., aN. The desired output will be a’1, a’2, a’3,..., a’N such that a’1≤, a’2≤, a’3≤...≤a’N using merge sort. In this paper, we propose a modification to the existing merge sort algorithm to sort the given elements when the input sequence (or a part of it) is in ascending or descending order in a more efficient way by reducing the number of comparison...

This paper presents a reconfigurable, high performance hardware implementation of highly secure biomedical image transmission system which can be used for sending medical reports in military and high security environments. The algorithm for encryption is based on DES algorithm with a novel skew core key scheduling. The encrypted image is not intelligible to an intruder, but the recovered image ...

A previous study has been conducted integrating modification on secure hash algorithm 1 (SHA-1) to document integrity verification of printed documents using quick response (QR) codes. However, encryption is warranted as data transmitted in plaintext directly the server prevent hacking and ensuring not only but security well. more secured QR code was designed developed by successfully incorpora...

the multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (tsp), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. although the mtsp is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. this paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...
