In this paper, we present a fast mode decision algorithm for H.264/AVC intra prediction. The goal of this work is to reduce computational complexity of the H.264 encoder without s...
In a video coder, the optimal coding mode decision for each coding block could be achieved by exhaustively calculating the Lagrange cost (which includes the coding distortion plus...
We are concerned with the use of Mobile Agents for information retrieval. A multi-agent system is considered; a number of agents are involved in a collective effort to retrieve di...
For problems where the evaluation of an individual is the dominant factor in the total computation time of the evolutionary process, minimizing the number of evaluations becomes cr...
Abstract. We demonstrate a fully automated method for obtaining a closedform approximation of a recursive function. This method resulted from a realworld problem in which we had a ...
