Performance Analysis And Comparison Of Dirac Video Codec With H.264 / Mpeg-4 Part 10 Avc
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Dirac is a hybrid motion-compensated state-of-the-art video codec that uses modern techniques such as wavelet transforms and arithmetic coding. It is an open technology, designed to avoid patent infringement and can be ...
Modeling Isotropic Organs Using Beam Models For The Haptic Simulation Of Blunt Dissections Of Bile Duct
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Haptic modeling of organs using existing approaches is still not realistic and/or real time. We propose and develop the mathematical foundation of a new approach to modeling organs using beams. Beams are well known entities ...
Model Reference Adaptive Control Using Stacked Identifiers
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Model reference adaptive control is a major design method for controlling plants with uncertain parameters. The primary objective of this dissertation is to develop a new design approach for the model reference adaptive ...
Multi-area Unit Commitment And Economic Dispatch With Market Operation Components
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Unit commitment and economic dispatch, when combined together, is a useful tool to find the most economical generation schedule with which demand and spinning reserve requirement are supplied and all generating unit ...
Combined Scalability Coding Based On The Scalable Extension Of H.264/avc
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Fine-grain scalability (FGS) based on significant and refinement coding is one of the ways to achieve quality scalability by providing a graceful quality degradation through truncations of the FGS enhancement layer. This ...
Objective Image And Video Quality Assessment With Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Objective Image and Video Quality Assessment (IQA/VQA) aims to automatically measure the quality degradation perceived by the human eyes. It is of fundamental importance to address a wide variety of problems in image and ...
The Design And Analysis Of Optical Scanners For Optical Coherence Tomography
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A miniature fiber optic scanner capable of two-dimensional scanning for medical imaging is designed and developed. The scanner is actuated externally using an electromagnet. Nickel gel, a soft ferromagnetic material, is ...
Generalization Of Widely Linear Filtering Concepts For Equalization And Interference Suppression In PAM/QAM Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In PAM/QAM transmission systems, standard Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) linear (LE) or Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) equalization methods are often used to suppress the detrimental effects inter-symbol and/or ...
