New placement techniques are presented which substantially improve the process of automatic layout generation of analog IC's. Extremely tight specifications can be enforced o...
This paper presents four novel techniques for open-vocabulary spoken document retrieval: a method to detect slots that possibly contain a query feature; a method to estimate occurr...
As a global feature of fingerprint, orientation field is very important to automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS). Establishing an accurate and concise model for orien...
Reliable detection of fiducial targets in real-world images is addressed in this paper. We show that even the best existing schemes are fragile when exposed to other than laborator...
The efficiency of compressing color-quantized images using general purpose lossless image coding methods depends on the degree of smoothness of the index images. A wellknown and v...
