Reconnaissance de caracteres, reconnaissance de l'6;riture Ii la main, system des classifieufS. A method for mapping a block of handwritten text into a symbolic representation is described. It is assumed that certain loose constraints are placed on the spatial layout and syntax of the text Early recognition of primitives guides the location of syntactic components. The instance of reading handw...

Rectangle packing problem often appears in encasement and cutting as well as layout of homepage or newspaper, etc. This problem has been shown to be NP hard. For solving this problem, many compute algorithms based on different strategies are presented in the literatures. A novel-computing algorithm is proposed in this paper. The novel match algorithm tested the instances that taken from the lit...

In this paper we perform a comprehensive area, power, and energy analysis of some of the most recently-developed lightweight block ciphers and we compare them to the standard AES algorithm. We do this for several different architectures of the considered block ciphers. Our evaluation method consists of estimating the pre-layout power consumption and the derived energy using Cadence Encounter RT...

A cellular analog processor array for use in variable block-size motion estimation with a new simple method for shifting reference image data is presented. The new shift method leads to a greatly reduced number of neighborhood connections for each cell of the array, and allows for all shifts within the [8,8] search area to be performed in a single step, with simple digital controls. The new shi...

We present parallel and sequential dense QR factorization algorithms that are optimized to avoid communication. Some of these are novel, and some extend earlier work. Communication includes both messages between processors (in the parallel case), and data movement between slow and fast memory (in either the sequential or parallel cases). Our first algorithm, Tall Skinny QR (TSQR), factors m× n ...

We present a competition on text block segmentation within the framework of International Conference Pattern Recognition (ICPR) 2020. The main goal this is to automatically analyse structure historical newspaper pages with subsequent evaluation participants’ algorithms performance. In contrast many existing methods, instead working pixels, study has focus clustering baselines/text lines into bl...

Research in layout design during the past decade has had a significant impact on the entire VLSl industry. Because of advances made in automatic placement and routing, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design now represents a sizeable portion of the chip market. The influence of computer-aided physical design will continue to be felt in the future; for example, in further populariz...

This paper presents a freeware EDA framework for teaching mixed-mode full-custom VLSI design. The proposed set of EDA tools and associated physical design kit (PDK) allows students to gain handson experience on ASIC design tasks covering schematic entry, both at system and circuit levels, HDL system simulation and block specification, automatic circuit optimization, PCell-based layout, physical...

Automatic detection of text blocks is an important step before applying OCR or word-spotting techniques to document images. Our approach focusses on handwritten (historical) documents and uses the Gabor Transformation to facilitate this task. Apart from the main text, which often consists of rectangular shaped text blocks, marginalia are of special interest here. These areas are generally uncon...

Multiplication represents a fundamental building block in all DSP tasks. Due to the large latency inherent in multiplication, schemes have been devised to minimize the delay. Two methods are common in current implementations: regular arrays and Wallace trees. Previous gate-level analyses have suggested that not only are Wallace trees faster than array schemes, they also consume much less power....
