This paper presents an algorithm for the unconstrained two-dimensional cutting problem of rectangular pieces. It proposes the two-stage general block pattern that can be cut into ...
Most codecs such as MPEG-1,2 are based on processing pixels in predetermined tiles of square blocks. The processing of each block is independent of the object-based contents that m...
We present some observations on the block triangular form (btf) of structurally symmetric, square, sparse matrices. If the matrix is structurally rank deficient, its canonical btf ...
⎯A new nonslicing floorplan representation, the moving block sequence (MBS), is proposed in this paper. Our idea of the MBS originates from the observation that placing blocks on...
