Computer interpretation of images requires a decision on what to look for and a strategy exploiting this knowledge. A generic model for which objects make up the image is designed, assum ing low altitude aerial images. The generic model is exploited first to choose a representation of the image suitable for parsing, secondly for defining a parsing procedure. As representation, a segmentation is...

Segmentation display plays a vital role to display numerals. But in today’s world matrix display is also used in displaying numerals. Because numerals has lots of curve edges which is better supported by matrix display. But as matrix display is costly and complex to implement and also needs more memory, segment display is generally used to display numerals. But as there is yet no proposed compa...

This study aims to accurately predict glaucomatous visual-field loss from patient disease data. In general, medical data show two kinds of heterogeneity: 1) internal heterogeneity, in which the phase of disease progression changes in an individual patient’s time series dataset; and 2) external heterogeneity, in which the trends of disease progression differ among patients. Although some previou...

Given n elements x0, . . . , xn−1, and given n bits b0, . . . , bn−1, with at least one zero, the segmented scan problem consists in finding the prefixes si = xi ⊗ bis(i−1) mod n, i = 0, . . . , n − 1, where ⊗ is an associative binary operation that can be computed in constant time by a processor. This paper presents: (i) an O(logB) time optimal algorithm for the segmented scan problem on a (2n...
