In standard predictive video coders, intra-mode coding of macroblocks (MBs) provides packet loss resilience, at the cost of reduced compression efficiency. Conventional mode selec...
We discuss the compaction of independent test sequences for sequential circuits. Our first contribution is the formulation of this problem as an integer program, which we then so...
This paper considers Just-In-Time Job-Shop Scheduling, in which each activity has an earliness and a tardiness cost with respect to a due date. It proposes a constraint programmin...
We investigate in this article the rigid registration of large sets of points, generally sampled from surfaces. We formulate this problem as a general Maximum-Likelihood (ML) estim...
Phase shifting mask (PSM) is a promising resolution enhancement technique, which is used in the deep sub-wavelength lithography of the VLSI fabrication process. However, applying ...
