from Active and Passive Colour Stereo Vision Alois Knoll, Ralf Schr oder, and Andr e Wolfram University of Bielefeld, Faculty of Technology, Department of Computer Science, Postfach 10 01 31, D-33501 Bielefeld, Germany Abstract The problem of correspondence search in a stereo system may be alleviated if an active light source projects colour codes onto the scene. To reduce the amount of ambigu...

Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean)‎, ‎or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process‎. ‎When observations are reported imprecise‎, ‎then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts‎. ‎This paper is devoted to the problem of c...

Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...

In this paper, a parallel structure of fuzzy PID control systems is proposed. It is associated with a new tuning method which, based on gain margin and phase margin speci"cations, determines the parameters of the fuzzy PID controller. In comparison with conventional PID controllers, the proposed fuzzy PID controller shows higher control gains when system states are away from equilibrium and, at...

This paper discusses a method for im­ plementing a probabilistic inference system based on an extended relational data model. This model provides a unified approach for a variety of applications such as dynamic pro­ gramming, solving sparse linear equations, and constraint propagation. In this frame­ work, the probability model is represented as a generalized relational database. Subse­ quent p...

Aiming at the mine safety problem, this paper proposes a gas concentration monitoring system design scheme based on ZigBee Pro. The scheme designs a set of ZigBee Pro wireless network combined software with hardware based on KGS-20 gas sensor and CC2530 chip as the controller core. According to the fuzzy reasoning technology and multi-factors information fusion technology, a new method for the ...

Through two experiments, this study examined the impact of user-generated content (UGC) and online page popularity (e.g., number of ‘‘likes’’) of a pro-breastfeeding community Facebook page on female college students’ breastfeeding-related attitudes and behaviors. Experiment 1 focused on effects of message style (testimonial versus informational) and online page popularity (high versus low), wh...

Over the past years, multicore systems emerged into the domain of hard real-time systems. Thesesystems introduce common buses and shared memories which heavily influence the timing behav-ior. We show that existing WCET optimizations may lead to suboptimal results when appliedto multicore setups. Additionally we provide both a genetic and a precise Integer Linear Pro-gramming...
