In lifting-based directional wavelet transforms, different subsampling patterns may show significant difference for directional signals in image coding. This paper investigates t...
In the classic minimum makespan scheduling problem, we are given an input sequence of jobs with processing times. A scheduling algorithm has to assign the jobs to m parallel machi...
Target detection and field surveillance are among the most prominent applications of Sensor Networks (SN). The quality of detection achieved by a SN can be quantified by evaluat...
Sparse coding which encodes the original signal in a sparse signal space, has shown its state-of-the-art performance in the visual codebook generation and feature quantization pro...
A popular trend in current software technology is to gain program portability by compiling programs to an inte form based on an abstract machine definition. Such approaches date b...
