Neighbor Cache Prefetching for Multimedia Image and Video Processing

Temporal Analysis of Cache Prefetching Strategies for Multimedia Applications

Prefetching is a widely adopted technique for improving performance of cache memories. Performances are typically affected by the design parameters, such as cache size and associativity, but also by the type of locality embodied in the programs. In particular multimedia tools and programs handling images and video are characterized by a bi-dimensional spatial locality that could be greatly expl...

Hardware Prefetching Techniques for Cache Memories in Multimedia Applications

The workload of multimedia applications has a strong impact on cache memory performance, since the locality of memory references embedded in multimedia programs differs from that of traditional programs. In many cases, standard cache memory organization achieves poorer performance when used for multimedia. A widely explored approach to improve cache performance is hardware prefetching that allo...

Fuzzy Neighbor Voting for Automatic Image Annotation

With quick development of digital images and the availability of imaging tools, massive amounts of images are created. Therefore, efficient management and suitable retrieval, especially by computers, is one of themost challenging fields in image processing. Automatic image annotation (AIA) or refers to attaching words, keywords or comments to an image or to a selected part of it. In this paper,...

Identification of selected monogeneans using image processing, artificial neural network and K-nearest neighbor

Abstract Over the last two decades, improvements in developing computational tools made significant contributions to the classification of biological specimens` images to their correspondence species. These days, identification of biological species is much easier for taxonomist and even non-taxonomists due to the development of automated computer techniques and systems.  In this study, we d...
