Recognition And Localization Of A Flat Symmetric Object From A Single Perspective Image, Andoo P. Yang, David M. Chelberg Dec 1994

Recognition And Localization Of A Flat Symmetric Object From A Single Perspective Image, Andoo P. Yang, David M. Chelberg

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A flat symmetric object viewed under perspective (orthographic) projectiorl yields a convergent (skew) symmetry. Unlike skew symmetry where the axes constrain the orientation of the underlying object to lie on a hyperbola in the gradient space, for convergent symmetry the object orientation can be uniquely determined from the axis and convergent point except for some special cases. However, detection of the axis and convergent point of a convergent symmetry has not yet received much attention. We present a technique which can detect the axis and convergent point of a convergent symmetric contmour in an image using distinguished points such as …


Heterogeneous Computing, Howard Jay Siegel, John K. Antonio, Richard C. Metzger, Min Tan, Yan Alexander Li Dec 1994

Heterogeneous Computing, Howard Jay Siegel, John K. Antonio, Richard C. Metzger, Min Tan, Yan Alexander Li

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A heterogeneous computing (HC) system provides a variety of architectural capabilities, orchestrated to perform an application whose subtasks have diverse execution requirements. One type of heterogeneous computing system is a mixed-mode machine, where a single machine can operate in different modes of parallelism. Another is a mixed-machine system, where a suite of different kinds of high-performance machines are interconnected by high-:speed links. To exploit such systems, a task must be decomposed into subtasks, where each subtask is computationally homogeneous. The subtasks are then assigned to and executed with the machines (or modes) that will result in a minimal overall execution …


Image Processing And Computer Graphics Algorithms For Surface Rendering From Mri Data. , Arda Kamil Bafra, Okan K. Ersoy, David J. Hansen Dec 1994

Image Processing And Computer Graphics Algorithms For Surface Rendering From Mri Data. , Arda Kamil Bafra, Okan K. Ersoy, David J. Hansen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The reconstruction of objects in three dimensions, from two-dimensional MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) slices is a powerful tool for better understanding of anatomical structures. In this work, a combination of image processing and computer graphics techniques has been used to develop the required algorithms for surface rendering of anatomical structures from MRI data. Surface rendering is performed in two stages. In the first stage, image processing techniques have been used to develop the required algorithms for the extraction of the data, which is then transferred to a computer graphics environment. The proposed algorithms are for successive automatic segmentation using Markov …


Data Parallel Algorithms, Howard Jay Siege1, Lee Wang, John John E. So, Muthucumaru Maheswaran Dec 1994

Data Parallel Algorithms, Howard Jay Siege1, Lee Wang, John John E. So, Muthucumaru Maheswaran

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Data parallelism is a model of parallel computing in which the same set of instructions is applied to all the elements in a data set. A sampling of data parallel algorithms is presented. The examples are certainly not exhaustive, but address many issues involved in designing data parallel algorithms. Case studies are used to illustrate some algorithm design techniques; and to highlight some implementation decisions that influence the overall performance of a parallel algorithm. It is shown that the characteristics of a particular parallel machine to be used need to be considered in transforming a given task into a parallel …


An Overview Of Flexible Ac Transmission Systems, P. Asare, T. Diez, A. Galli, E. O'Neill-Carillo, J. Robertson, R. Zhao Dec 1994

An Overview Of Flexible Ac Transmission Systems, P. Asare, T. Diez, A. Galli, E. O'Neill-Carillo, J. Robertson, R. Zhao

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

FACTS or "flexible AC transmission systems" is a term that has been suggested for the use of solid state devices to control bulk power flow in transmission systems. The Electric Power Research Institute supported this idea, and many researchers have invested efforts on the value and potential of FACTS. At this time, it appears that the main value of FACTS lies in improving transmission capability; increasing the flexibility of power flow control (e.g., for wheeling or for economic dispatch); for controlling voltage (and var flow); and possibly additional advantages in lower voltage systems (e.g., distribution systems). This report is an …

A Prototype Computational Phantom To Create Digital Images For Research And Training In Diagnostic Radiology, Charles F. Babbs Nov 1994

A Prototype Computational Phantom To Create Digital Images For Research And Training In Diagnostic Radiology, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Research in the processing, compression, transmission, and interpretation of digital radiographic images require the testing and evaluation of a wide variety of images, varying both in format and in spatial resolution. If receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis or a related method is used to evaluate the performance of observers using novel vs. conventional displays, large numbers of test images containing known abnormalities are required. This report describes a convenient, inexpensive, and reproducible source of test images, having any desired resolution and containing precisely defined abnormalities of unlimited subtlety. The images are generated by computing x-ray transmission through mathematically defined, three …

Keeping Food Safe During Emergencies, Jo Carol Chezem, Wilella D. Burgess, April C. Mason Nov 1994

Keeping Food Safe During Emergencies, Jo Carol Chezem, Wilella D. Burgess, April C. Mason

Historical Documents of the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service Archive

Disasters can come in many forms, including tornadoes, fires, floods, and snowstorms. In any of these emergency situations, two problems commonly arise. The first is a lack of incoming supplies. The second is damage to gas and electrical power systems. This publication discusses how to handle foods before, during, and after an emergency to keep them safe and to avoid food poisoning.

Design And Analysis Of Transmitter Diversity Using Intentional Frequency Offset For Wireless Communications, Wen-Yi Kuo, Michael P. Fitz Nov 1994

Design And Analysis Of Transmitter Diversity Using Intentional Frequency Offset For Wireless Communications, Wen-Yi Kuo, Michael P. Fitz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Coded modulation (usually with interleaving) is used in fading channel cornmunications to achieve good error performance. The major benefit froin using coded modulation in fading channels is achieved if each code symbol of a codeword (or coded sequence) suffers statistically different fading (preferably independent fading). However, in many applications of mobile communications (e.g. in a metropolitan environment), a low vehicle speed (and hence a small Doppler spread) is very common. With a small Doppler spread, ideal or close-to-ideal interleaving is no longer feasible and all code symbols of a codeword would suffer highly correlated fading especially in stationary fading (Doppler …
