As many authors have articulated, the “last mile problem” is often cited as a persistent engineering obstacle in deploying residential broadband solutions. Additionally, some ...
In this paper, we present a new approach to extracting the target text line from a document image captured by a pen scanner. Given the binary image, a set of possible text lines a...
Spatial image processing chips, known as silicon retinas, are based on the architecture of vertebrate retina and can be mathematically represented as the Laplacian of Gaussian (LO...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms save energy by scaling down the processor frequency when the processor is not fully loaded. Many algorithms have been proposed for periodi...
Group awareness is an important part of synchronous collaboration, and support for group awareness can greatly improve groupware usability. However, it is still difficult to build...
