Blocking artifact is the most prevailing degradation caused by block-based DCT coding techniques under low bit-rate conditions. To alleviate blockings perceptually, it is desirabl...
Simulation is an essential tool for performance evaluation of many practical systems where planners typically want to know how the system will perform under various parameter sett...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
This paper presents a general method for computing transient sensitivities using both the direct and adjoint methods in event driven controlled explicit simulation algorithms that...
Image-Adaptive watermarking systems exploit visual models to adapt the watermark to local properties of the host image. This leads to a watermark power enhancement, hence an improv...
