چکیده

Threshold (or relative magnitude) search is traditionally performed iteratively in a bit-serial manner in optical database/knowledge-base machines which results in an execution time proportional to the operand size. We present in this paper a single-step threshold search algorithm and its optical implementation. The proposed algorithm performs magnitude comparison in constant time, independent of the operand size, and consequently, it greatly increases the performance of optical database/knowledge-base processing operations such as searching, selection, retrieving, and sorting.

Optical implementation of a single-iteration thresholding algorithm with applications to parallel data-base/knowledge-base processing.

Threshold (or relative magnitude) search is traditionally performed iteratively in a bit-serial manner in optical data-base/knowledge-base machines, which results in an execution time proportional to the operand size. We present a single-step threshold search algorithm and its optical implementation. The proposed algorithm performs magnitude comparison in constant time, independent of the opera...

A Fast Implementation of Singular Value Thresholding Algorithm using Recycling Rank Revealing Randomized Singular Value Decomposition

In this paper, we present a fast implementation of the Singular Value Thresholding (SVT) algorithm for matrix completion. A rank-revealing randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD) algorithm is used to adaptively carry out partial singular value decomposition (SVD) to fast approximate the SVT operator given a desired, fixed precision. We extend the RSVD algorithm to a recycling rank reveal...

High Performance Implementation of Fuzzy C-Means and Watershed Algorithms for MRI Segmentation

Image segmentation is one of the most common steps in digital image processing. The area many image segmentation algorithms (e.g., thresholding, edge detection, and region growing) employed for classifying a digital image into different segments. In this connection, finding a suitable algorithm for medical image segmentation is a challenging task due to mainly the noise, low contrast, and steep...

Comparison of threshold-based algorithms for sparse signal recovery

Intensively growing approach in signal processing and acquisition, the Compressive Sensing approach, allows sparse signals to be recovered from small number of randomly acquired signal coefficients. This paper analyses some of the commonly used threshold-based algorithms for sparse signal reconstruction. Signals satisfy the conditions required by the Compressive Sensing theory. The Orthogonal M...
