This paper proposes a novel stereo vision technique for top view book scanners which provide us with dense 3d point clouds of page surfaces. This is a precondition to dewarp bound volumes independent of 2d information on the page. Our method is based on algorithms, which normally require the projection of pattern sequences with structured light. We use image sequences of the moving stripe light...

Researching the vulnerabilities and security concerns of WinCE-based Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in an 802.11 wireless environment resulted in identifying CAN-2001-{0158 to 0163}. The full understanding and demonstration of some vulnerabilities would have required reverse engineering ActiveSync, which was beyond the scope of this research. Moreover, the WinCE IP stack demonstrated unstab...

services require high involvement of consumer in consumption process. when consumers experience a service, their evaluation of service quality will change. the propose of current study is to provide a conceptual model for measuring hardware and software quality of banking services in the context of iran’s banking industry. current study is descriptive-applicable one in which has been done by a ...

Performance evaluation is at the foundation of computer architecture research and development. Contemporary microprocessors are so complex that architects cannot design systems based on intuition and simple models only. Adequate performance evaluation methods are absolutely crucial to steer the research and development process in the right direction. However, rigorous performance evaluation is ...

This paper shows that manufacturing exporters export goods they have not produced and thus also act as trade intermediaries. The geographical dimension of the data reveals almost half these exports “sourced” products are purely intermediated: to many destinations, firms sourced only. We find this type intermediation is ubiquitous across firms, products, robust a battery alternative definitions....
