This paper describes a simple yet elegant extension to For tran as an alternative model for parallel programming The model is the Single Program Multiple Data SPMD programming model with a Fortran like syntax to point from one memory image to another Just as local coordinates are contained within parentheses for local memory im ages global coordinates are contained within square brackets for re...

A hardware implementation of a real-time compressed-domain image acquisition system is demonstrated. The system performs front-end computational imaging, whereby the inner product between an image and an arbitrarily-specified mask is implemented in silicon. The acquisition system is based on an intelligent readout integrated circuit (iROIC) that is capable of providing independent bias voltages...

Much body image research has been directed toward the study of males (H. G. Pope, K. A. Phillips, & R. Olivardia, 2000). However, little attention has been devoted to consideration of which methods yield the most accurate measurement of this population. Based on numerous social psychological studies indicating the salience of a muscular appearance (e.g., H. G. Pope, R. Olivardia, A. Gruber, & J...

An iterative method is purposed in this paper using the basis pursuit algorithm for spatial denoising, coupled with temporal wavelet denoising to result in a denoised video signal. Introduction Several new techniques have been developed recently for the purposes of denoising images. The most promising of these techniques have been the curvelet and undecimated wavelet transforms. Using a basis p...

A method for extended depth of field imaging based on image acquisition through a thin binary phase plate followed by fast automatic computational post-processing is presented. By placing a wavelength dependent optical mask inside the pupil of a conventional camera lens, one acquires a unique response for each of the three main color channels, which adds valuable information that allows blind r...

In this work, a new approach to fully automatic color image segmentation, called JSEG, is presented. First, colors in the image are quantized to several representing classes that can be used to differentiate regions in the image. Then, image pixel colors are replaced by their corresponding color class labels, thus forming a class-map of the image. A criterion for " good " segmentation using thi...

Following the recent work of J-F. Aujol and A. Chambolle, a decomposition model of grayscale images into three components (geometrical, texture and noise) has recently been proposed. Inspired by this work, J-F. Aujol and S. Ha Hung have introduced a new decomposition model for color images. This model splits an image into only two components: a geometrical component and a texture component. The...
