— This paper presents an architecture and a synthesis method for programmable numerical function generators (NFGs) for trigonometric, logarithmic, square root, and reciprocal fun...
Polar Fourier Descriptor(PFD) and Spherical Fourier Descriptor(SFD) are rotation invariant feature descriptors for two dimensional(2D) and three dimensional(3D) image retrieval an...
The IA-64 architecture provides new opportunities and challenges for implementing an improved set of transcendental functions. Using several novel polynomial-based table-driven te...
In the classical shading algorithm according to Phong, the normal is interpolated across the scanline, requiring a computationally expensive normalization in the inner loop. In th...
The ability to use a polynomial iterpretation to prove termination of a rewrite system naturally prompts the question as to what restriction on complexity this imposes. The main r...
