Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of rodent brains enables study of the development and the integrity of the brain under certain conditions (alcohol, drugs etc.). However, these images are difficult to analyze for biomedical researchers with limited image processing experience. In this paper we present an image processing pipeline running on a Midas server, a web-based data storage system. It is...

We present a template-based pipeline that performs realtime speed-limit-sign recognition using an embedded system with a lowend GPU as the main processing element. Our pipeline operates in the frequency domain, and uses nonlinear composite filters and a contrastenhancing preprocessing step to improve its accuracy. Running at interactive rates, our system achieves 90% accuracy over 120 EU speed-...

an experiment featuring waterhammer in viscoelastic pipes is presented in which the effects of pipe-wall viscoelasticity on waterhammer pressures are investigated. a large-scale pipeline apparatus made of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) at deltares, delft, the netherlands, has been used to carry out waterhammer experiments. tests have been conducted in a reservoir-pipeline-valve system consisting of a...

The functionality of packet processing applications is often partitioned into pipeline stages; these stages are allocated a subset of the multiple processors available in a packet processing system. The workload, and hence the processing requirement, for each pipeline stage fluctuates over time. Adapting processor allocations to pipeline stages at run-time can improve robustness of the system t...
