B frame bi-directional predictions and the DIRECT mode coding of the H.264 video compression standard necessitate a complex mode decision process, resulting in a long computation time. To make H.264 feasible, this paper proposes an image backtrackbased fast (IBFD) algorithm and evaluates the performances of two promising fast algorithms (i.e., AFDM and IBFD). Evaluation results show that an ima...

In this paper, we present a high-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme, coupled with a high-order fast sweeping method, for solving a dynamic continuum model for bidirectional flow. We first review the dynamic continuum model for bi-directional flow. This model is composed of a coupled system of a conservation law and an Eikonal equation. Then we present the first-order Lax-F...

Control chart pattern recognition is one of the most important tools to identify the process state in statistical process control. The abnormal process state could be classified by the recognition of unnatural patterns that arise from assignable causes. In this study, a wavelet based neural network approach is proposed for the recognition of control chart patterns that have various characterist...

The employee-employer relationship is an intricate one. In an industry, the employers expect to achieve performances in quality and production in order to earn profit, on the other side employees need good pay and all possible allowances and best advantages than any other industry. Our main objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between employee and employer in workplace and dis...

We refer to human-robot relationships as Lovotics. In this paper a design process for Lovotics is presented. In order to invoke these relationships, technological solutions can only take us so far. Design played an important role in order to engage users to explore the possibilities of bi-directional, human-robot love. We conducted a user-centric study in order to understand these factors and i...

the aim of this article is to extend the study of the lorentz transformation of order (m,n) from m=1 and n>=1 to all m,n>=1, obtaining algebraic structures called a bi-gyrogroup and a bi-gyrovector space. a bi-gyrogroup is a gyrogroup each gyration of which is a pair of a left gyration and a right gyration. a bi-gyrovector space is constructed from a bi-gyrocommutative bi-gyrogroup that admits ...
