Due to some reasons, observed images are degraded which are mainly caused by noise. Recently image denoising using the wavelet transform has been attracting much attention. Waveletbased approach provides a particularly useful method for image denoising when the preservation of edges in the scene is of importance because the local adaptivity is based explicitly on the values of the wavelet detai...

Iterated Function Systems (IFSs) are among the best-known methods for constructing fractals. The sequence of pictures E0; E1; E2; : : : generated by an IFS fX; f1; f2; : : : ; ftg converges to a unique limit E , which is independent of the choice of starting set E0, but completely determined by the choice of the maps fi. Random context picture grammars (rcpgs) are a method of syntactic picture ...

Manufacturing processes such as cutting, welding and shrink fitting are known to degrade the magnetic properties of electrical sheet during manufacturing machines. These effects often neglected at design stage lead large errors in simulated measured core losses machine. This article studies comparative impact different on stator a typical industrial motor. Both simulations measurements indicate...

Motivated by the increasing use of and rapid changes in array technologies, we consider the prediction problem of fitting a linear regression relating a continuous outcome Y to a large number of covariates X , eg measurements from current, state-of-the-art technology. For most of the samples, only the outcome Y and surrogate covariates, W , are available. These surrogates may be data from prior...

Conventional analysis using quantile regression typically focuses on fitting the regression model at different quantiles separately. However, in situations where the quantile coefficients share some common feature, joint modeling of multiple quantiles to accommodate the commonality often leads to more efficient estimation. One example of common features is that a predictor may have a constant e...
