This book first covers exact and approximate analytical techniques (ordinary differential and
difference equations, partial differential equations, variational principles, stochastic …

This paper introduces a framework for the reconstruction of magnetic resonance images in
the presence of rigid motion. The rationale behind our proposal is to make use of the partial …

We propose a simulated annealing algorithm (stochastic non-negative independent
component analysis, SNICA) for blind decomposition of linear mixtures of non-negative …

The three-dimensional deformation beneath a Vickers indentation in polycrystalline alumina
has been measured, in situ, by digital volume correlation of high resolution synchrotron X …

We propose an FPGA chip architecture based on a conventional FPGA logic array core, in
which I/O pins are clocked at a much higher rate than that of the logic array that they serve …

We present a group of methods for decomposing an arbitrary 3D volume rotation into a
sequence of simple shear (ie, regular shift) operations. We explore different types of shear …

Affine Transform (AT) is widely used in high-speed image processing systems. This
transform plays an important role in various high-speed image processing applications. AT …

A discretized rotation acts on a pixel grid: the edges of the neighborhood relation are
affected in particular way. Two types of configurations (ie applications from Z2 to a finite set …

In this paper, we propose an approach for the accurate rotation of a digital image using
Hermite expansions. This exploits the fact that if a 2-D continuous bandlimited Hermite …

Fine-grained, indefinitely-extended mesh architectures, which can aptly be termed
'Programmable Matter', play a complementary rather than competitive role vis-à-vis …
