In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
One of the most important types of query processing in spatial databases and geographic information systems is the spatial join, an operation that selects, from two relations, all...
We propose a two-state Markov chain model of degraded document images. The model generates random and burst noise to simulate isolated pixel reversal as well as blurring of a larg...

A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
