Nonrigid Image Registration By The Deformation Based Grid Generation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
A novel nonrigid image registration algorithm is developed using a well-established mathematic work known as deformation based grid generation. The deformation based grid generation is capable to generate a grid ...
At Play In Her Clearing: Centering The Personal Experience Of Disability Within Irigarayan Philsophy
(English, 2009-09-16)
From a theoretical perspective, the disabled woman can be seen as `doubly othered' within patriarchal culture. Because the disabled woman faces this dual otherness, she is barred from both masculine language and able-bodied ...
Increasing Localization Precision In Sensor Networks With Mobile Beacons - A Genetic Path Planning Approach
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This work describes a genetic algorithm based approach to approximate an optimal path for a mobile beacon node in a grid of stationary wireless sensors. As the beacon moves over the field of sensors it broadcasts its ...
