Motion estimation plays an important role in video compression to remove temporal redundancies between successive frames. It is also useful in aiding detection of moving objects. Full-search block-matching (FSBM) is the most preferred algorithm for motion estimation. Frame-level pipelined FSBM architectures have advantages over block-level pipelined architectures in their simpler control and re...

SUMMARY. In a parallel line assay, there are three treatment contrasts of major importance. Block designs allowing the estimability of all the three contrasts free from block effects, called L-designs, necessarily have the block sizes even. For odd block sizes, we provide here a class of highly efficient designs, called nearly L-designs. These nearly L-designs have been constructed by establish...

background: general practitioners are the first who visit burn patients and they first calculate burn size and required fluid for the patient. error in calculation can be disastrous. the purpose of this study is to compare four methods of estimating burn size to teach students. methods: this is a descriptive-analytic study on 37 medical students. four methods of estimating burn percentage was t...

The problem of estimating the number of members in a multicast session through probabilistic polling corresponds to that of estimating the parameter n of the Binomial n p , distribution. This allows an interval estimator for n to be derived. The tradeoff between the relative dispersion of this estimator and the overhead it requires is characterized in a manner that may be mapped to application ...

Software size estimation at early stages of project development holds great significance to meet the competitive demands of software industry. Software size represents one of the most interesting internal attributes which has been used in several effort/cost models as a predictor of effort and cost needed to design and implement the software. The whole world is focusing towards object oriented ...
