Automotive frontal view often looks very similar to the human face. It is feasible that the automotive frontal mask affects both the total concept automotive and the impression of the automotive. Then authors proposed a Automotive Frontal Mask Caricature System coche-PICASSO. In this paper authors proposed a new technique for improving the quality of coche-PICASSO by means of several kinds of a...

An object-oriented framework for modeling and supervisory control of discrete event systems is described. Control and observation masks are encapsulated with process logic to form process objects, and a single type of interconnection operator called masked composition is used to build complex process objects out of simpler component process objects. The approach applies to both deterministic an...

This work examines a weakness in re-using masks for masked Galois inversion, specifically in the masked Galois multipliers. Here we show that the mask re-use scheme included in our work[1] cannot result in “perfect masking,” regardless of the order in which the terms are added; explicit distributions are derived for each step. The same problem requires new masks in the subfield calculations, no...

Several dual-rail logic styles make use of single-rail flip-flops for storing intermediate states. We show that single mask bits, as applied by various side-channel resistant logic styles such as MDPL and iMDPL, are not sufficient to obfuscate the remaining leakage of single-rail flipflops. By applying simple models for the leakage of masked flip-flops, we design a new attack on circuits implem...

Intelligibility of ideal binary masked noisy speech was measured on a group of normal hearing individuals across mixture signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels, masker types, and local criteria for forming the binary mask. The binary mask is computed from time-frequency decompositions of target and masker signals using two different schemes: an ideal binary mask computed by thresholding the local S...

In this paper, we control the intention theory of Fishbein and Ajzen (1980) for the participation in an adult education course. Based on the Flemish Eurostat Adult Education Survey, we reveal that participants in adult education have a more positive attitude towards learning and that within the group of non-participants, those who formulate an intention to participate score higher on attitude s...

A compactly supported scaling function can come from a refinement equation with infinitely many nonzero coefficients (an infinite mask). In this case we prove that the symbol of the mask must have the special rational form ã(Z) = b̃(Z)c̃(Z)/b̃(Z). Any finite combination of the shifts of a refinable function will have such a mask, and will be refinable. We also study compactly supported solutions o...

Introduction dMRI tractography needs to be constrained by a white matter (WM) mask defining the 3D space within which fibers are tracked. Most techniques usually threshold the fractional anisotropy (FA) maps (typical threshold between 0.1-0.2) assuming that when FA is too small, the uncertainty of the principal diffusion direction is high. However, this criterion is rough as the FA value is not...
