Non-procedural data processing

Procedural Image Processing for Visualization

We present a novel Procedural Image Processing (PIP) method and demonstrate its applications in visualization. PIP modulates the sampling positions of a conventional image processing kernel (e.g. edge detection filter) through a procedural perturbation function. When properly designed, PIP can produce a variety of styles for edge depiction, varying on width, solidity, and pattern, etc. In addit...

Non procedural language for parallel programs

Probably building non procedural languages is the most prospective way for parallel programming just because non procedural means no fixed way for execution. The article consists of 3 parts. In first part we consider formal systems for definition a named datasets and studying an expression power of different subclasses. In the second part we consider a complexity of algorithms of building sets ...

Enhancing Procedural Animation with Motion Capture Data

Analysis of Pre-processing and Post-processing Methods and Using Data Mining to Diagnose Heart Diseases

Today, a great deal of data is generated in the medical field. Acquiring useful knowledge from this raw data requires data processing and detection of meaningful patterns and this objective can be achieved through data mining. Using data mining to diagnose and prognose heart diseases has become one of the areas of interest for researchers in recent years. In this study, the literature on the ap...
