When stereo images are captured under less than ideal conditions, there may be inconsistencies between the two images in brightness, contrast, blurring, etc. When stereo matching is performed between the images, these variations can greatly reduce the quality of the resulting depth map. In this paper we propose a method for correcting sharpness variations in stereo image pairs which is performe...

During the last years it has been shown that computers taking advantage of quantum mechanical phenomena outperform currently used computers. The striking examples are integer factoring in polynomial time (see [8]) and finding pre– images of an n–ary Boolean function (“searching”) in time O( √ 2n) (see [5]). Quantum computers are not only of theoretical nature—there are several suggestions how t...

The scale invariance of natural images suggests an analogy to the statistical mechanics of physical systems at a critical point. Here we examine the distribution of pixels in small image patches and show how to construct the corresponding thermodynamics. We find evidence for criticality in a diverging specific heat, which corresponds to large fluctuations in how ‘surprising’ we find individual ...

Ethanol has been used, or proposed for use, as a process fluid or separation agent for a number of biorefining operations. These include oil extraction, solvent exchange, displacement drying, protein extraction, blood plasma fractionation, shellac deposition, protein film deposition, corn zein protein extraction, corn total protein extraction and wheat gluten protein from starch physical separa...

Recently, codes over some special finite rings especially chain rings have been studied. More recently, codes over finite non-chain rings have been also considered. Study on codes over such rings or rings in general is motivated by the existence of some special maps called Gray maps whose images give codes over fields. Quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes play a crucial role in protecting quantum ...
