In this paper, we extend our previous work on presenting a registration model for images having arbitrarily-shaped locally variant illuminations from shadows to multiple shading levels. These variations tend to degrade the performance of geometric registration and impact subsequent processing. Often, traditional registration models use a leastsquares estimator that is sensitive to outliers. Ins...

Study of the additive Gaussian noise influence on time-frequency (TF) distributions is an important issue [Article 9.1]. However, in many practical applications, especially in communications, signals are disturbed by a kind of impulse noise. These noises are commonly modeled by heavy-tailed (long-tailed) probability density functions (pdfs) [6]. It is well known fact that the conventional TF di...

Minimum distance controlled tabular adjustment (CTA) is an emerging perturbative method of statistical disclosure control for tabular data. The goal of CTA is to find the closest safe table to some original tabular data with sensitive information. Closeness is usually measured by 1 or 2 distances. Distance 1 provides solutions with a smaller 0 norm than 2 (i.e., with a lesser number of changes ...

This atlas of diatomic-molecular vibration frequencies parallels the previously offered Atlas of Internuclear Separations. The Atlas was produced by mining the data from Huber and Herzberg and training neural network software to forecast new data. New protocols were employed with the powerful software, which was originally designed for forecasting the financial markets. The Atlas presents 1920 ...
