The modeling of physical systems using discrete event models assumes that a set of sensors always report the event occurrences correctly. However, bad sensor operation can result in loss of observability of the events associated with the malfunctioning sensors. If one or more sensors fail, it may be possible that either the diagnoser stands still or provide wrong information on the fault occurr...

In this paper, we first discuss about canonical dual of g<span style="font-family: NimbusRomNo9L-Regu; font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font...

In this paper, we propose a gradient difference based approach to text localization in videos and scene images. The input video frame/ image is first compressed using multilevel 2-D wavelet transform. The edge information of the reconstructed image is found which is further used for finding the maximum gradient difference between the pixels and then the boundaries of the detected text blocks ar...

In the paper, an automatic spatio-temporal video sequence segmentation algorithm is proposed. To address this very daficult computer vision problem, several novel algorithms have been developed which use both spatial and temporal information. First, a novel temporal segmentation algorithm is developed based on our previous work in motion estimation. Second, an iterative split-and-merge spatial ...

In this paper we present a novel model for purely discretetime self-similar processes and scale-invariant systems. The results developed are based on a new interpretation of the discrete-time scaling (equivalently dilation or contraction) operation which is defined through a mapping between discrete and continuous time. It is shown that it is possible to have continuous scaling factors through ...

results there were significant differences between the groups in subjective labor pain scores (except vas 4) (p < 0.001). the duration of the phase one (3 cm dilatation to full dilatation) and phase two (full dilatation to birth) in the acupressure group was shorter than the control group (phase one, 225 min and 320 min, respectively; phase two, 15 min and 20 min, respectively; both p < 0.001)....

The design and VLSI implementation of a new ASIC which performs the operation of grey-scale dilation using both image and structuring element threshold decomposition is presented in this paper. The minimum rate of external operations of this ASIC is 30 MPix/sec and it can handle 3 x 3 pixel images and structuring elements of up to 4-bit resolution. The high speed of operation is achieved using ...

We introduce the concept of $k$-(semi)-dilation for Liouville domains, which is a generalization symplectic dilation defined by Seidel-Solomon. prove that existence property independent fillings asymptotically dynamically convex (ADC) manifolds. construct examples with $k$-dilations, but not $k-1$-dilations all $k\ge 0$. extract invariants taking value in $\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$ domains an...

In this paper, classified and comparative study of edge detection algorithms are presented. Experimental results prove that Boie-Cox, ShenCastan and Canny operators are better than Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG), while LOG is better than Prewitt and Sobel in case of noisy image. Subjective and objective methods are used to evaluate the different edge operators. The morphological filter is more imp...
