— In this paper a method for the fast determination of distortion-based optimal unequal error protection (UEP) of bitstreams generated by embedded image coders is described. The ...
—Optimizing sequential cycles is essential for many types of high-performance circuits, such as pipelines for packet processing. Retiming is a powerful technique for speeding pip...

We propose a new fast facial-feature extraction technique for embedded face-recognition applications. A deformable feature model is adopted, of which the parameters are optimized t...
This paper presents a reconfigurable processor designed to execute user-defined block-matching motion estimation algorithms, and a toolset for the design of such algorithms and ...

We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...
