This paper presents a literature review on English OCR techniques. English OCR system is compulsory to convert numerous published books of English into editable computer text files. Latest research in this area has been able to grown some new methodologies to overcome the complexity of English writing style. Still these algorithms have not been tested for complete characters of English Alphabet...

Deened as the apparent motion in a sequence of images, the optical ow is very important in the Computer Vision community where its accurate estimation is strongly needed for many applications. It is one of the most studied problem in Computer Vision. In spite of this, not much theoretical analysis has been done. In this article, we rst present a review of existing variational methods. Then, we ...

Grid computing involves high performance computing with resource sharing to support data-intensive applications, and requires high speed communications. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks become a natural choice for interconnecting the distributed computational and/or storage resources due to their high throughput, high reliability and low cost. This has led to increased re...

Tailored optical fibres (TOF) may have non-standard geometrical shapes and dimensions as well as very complex internal refraction and physical structure. Practice shows, that in numerable cases, the standard measurement methods have to be specially adapted to particular case of a fibre. In some cases, a class of novel methods has to be worked out. In this work we present a number of modified me...

The ability of a network to continue functioning even after the occurrence of any failure is very much required in optical networks. As optical networks are capable of transmitting a large amount of data at very high speed, so any failure or breakdown even for small duration can cause significant data and revenue loss. So the survivability of optical networks has become very important issue for...
