Castle Watchmen

Castle Landenberg

In this paper we demonstrate the workflow of 3D modelling and photorealistic texture mapping based on close range imagery acquired with a mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and in terrestrial mode. For generation of a highly accurate 3D model, a combined photogrammetric processing of these images was required. The conducted workflow consists of the following steps: project planning, flight plan...

Castle curves and codes

We introduce two types of curves of interest for coding theory purposes: the so-called Castle and weak Castle curves. We study the main properties of codes arising from these curves.

Who is watching the watchmen: Is quality reporting ever harmful?

BACKGROUND Quality reporting is increasingly used as a tool to encourage health systems, hospitals, and their practitioners to deliver the greatest health benefit. However, quality reporting systems may have unintended negative consequences, such as inadvertently encouraging "cherry-picking" by inadequately adjusting for patients who are challenging to take care of, or underpowering to reliably...

A Design Example Using Castle

CASTLE is a codesign platform which provides a number of design tools for configuring application specific design flows. This paper presents a walk through CASTLE’s codesign environment, following the design flow of a video processing system. The design methodology and the tool usage for this real life example are described, as seen from a designers point of view. The design flow starts with a ...
