The normalization of a data cube is the process of choosing an ordering for the attribute values, and the chosen ordering will affect the physical storage of the cube’s data. For...
Symmetric phase-only filter (SPOF) has been widely applied to image registration and recognition, and has been proved efficient for fingerprint verification. Fingerprint images ha...
A facility has to be located within a given region taking two criteria of equity and efficiency into account. Equity is sought by minimizing the inequality in the inhabitant-facil...
