Performance model building is essential to predict the ability of an application to satisfy given levels of performance or to support the search for viable alternatives. Using aut...
Abstract— In this paper, we describe a two-step varianceadaptive method for image denoising based on a statistical model of the coefficients of balanced multiwavelet transform. ...
— Many medical procedures involve the use of needles, but targeting accuracy can be limited due to obstacles in the needle’s path, shifts in target position caused by tissue de...
