Speculative pre-execution is a promising prefetching technique which uses an auxiliary assisting thread in addition to the main program flow. A prefetching thread (p-thread), whic...
The goal of clustering is to identify distinct groups in a dataset. The basic idea of model-based clustering is to approximate the data density by a mixture model, typically a mix...
This paper proposes a novel hybrid method to robustly and accurately localize texts in natural scene images. A text region detector is designed to generate a text confidence map,...
Pedal curves are the loci of the feet of perpendiculars to the tangents of a fixed curve to a fixed point called the pedal point. By varying the location of the pedal point, def...
This paper deals with specific issues related to the design of distributed embedded systems implemented with mixed, event-triggered and time-triggered task sets, which communicate...
