A method of processing haematological laboratory data based on the IBM 870 system is described. As the cards are being punched with the identification particulars of the patient and source of the sample, a worksheet is automatically generated on which the tests are indicated. The results of the laboratory tests are recorded by the technician on the worksheet and reproduced on the punch cards wh...

Historically significant documents are often discovered with defects that make them difficult to read and analyze. This fact is particularly troublesome if the defects prevent software from performing an automated analysis. Image enhancement methods are used to remove or minimize document defects, improve software performance, and generally make images more legible. We describe an automated, im...

Geographical information systems have been studied and actively developed in various field. One of their characteristics that distinguishes them from paper-based maps is their ability to retrieve various kinds of geographical information, compose the information, and display it on maps. In addition, these operations must be done very quickly. The system is required to provide a visual and high-...

Modeling approach to obtain unified, hierarchical and legible model for multidisciplinary system is very important for performance prediction and analysis in complex system design. In this paper, graphic modeling methods, such as the use of block diagrams, bond graphs, functional models and object-oriented models, are reviewed firstly. Then, the modeling methods of bond graphs and functional mo...

In this paper, the problem of print quality inspection on pharmaceutical capsules is addressed. Good print quality, a property that makes the print legible, is of utmost importance for identification and preventing mix-ups among various types of capsules. Spatial distortion obtained at image formation process, where a 3-D surface gets projected onto a 2-D image plane, causes print appearance va...

Until now, the majority of advanced image synthesis systems were implemented in highly performant C/C++ languages. Not many of these systems are available publicly with source code, and those which are can be difficult to analyse and improve due to focus on optimization expected in production systems. JaTrac — a global illumination renderer we introduce in this paper has been developed as a too...

Handwriting differs from person to person. Some may be legible while some others are difficult to read or understand. Hence this project aims at recognizing the handwritten text and understanding what it is with the help of a neural network and fuzzy logic. It involves segmentation, feature extraction and classification.Here the method used is Canny Edge Detection Algorithm and the Histogram Of...

SUMMARY Two Fortran computer programs are described, one for the analysis of longitudinal responses of aircraft, and one for the analysis of lateral responses in the presence of small longitudinal motion. The aerodynamic derivatives which affect the responses are determined by a Newton-Raphson technique to obtain iteratively the best least-squares fit to the observed data. A description is give...
