. Second, there must be some way of choosing internal representations which allow the preexisting hardware connections to be used efficiently for encoding the con-straints in the domain being searched. We describe a generol parallel search method, based on statistical mechanics, and we show how it leads

is passed almost certainly, whereas the same test is failed almost certainly when the compared codes originate from the same eye. The visible texture of a person’s iris in a real-time video image is encoded into a compact sequence of multi-scale quadrature 2-D Gabor wavelet coefficients, whose most

queue. Finally, we describe the implementation complexity of iSLIP. Based on a two-dimensional (2-D) array of priority encoders, single-chip schedulers have been built supporting up to 32 ports, and making approximately 100 million scheduling decisions per second.

redundantly encode structured representations as content vectors, whose dot product yields an estimate of how well the corresponding structural representations will match. The second stage (FAC) uses SME to compute a true structural match between the probe and output from the first stage. MAC/FAC has been

performance. The first technique employs a pyramid of binary volumes to encode spatial coherence present in the data, and the second technique uses an opacity threshold to adaptively terminate ray tracing. Although the actual time saved depends on the data, speedups of an order of magnitude have been observed

A parallel concatenated coding scheme consists of two simple constituent systematic encoders linked by an interleaver. The input bits to the first encoder are scrambled by the interleaver before entering the second encoder. The codeword of the parallel concatenated code consists of the input bits

Recent theoretical results describing the sum capacity when using multiple antennas to communicate with multiple users in a known rich scattering environment have not yet been followed with practical transmission schemes that achieve this capacity. We introduce a simple encoding algorithm

of atomic values. The value denotes an instance of schema. A template is a pattern that describes how instances of a schema are encoded. An example template for schema above � is where each letter denotes a string. Template � encodes the first attribute of   between strings � and �, the second between �

set of long MPEG-1 encoded video traces. Second, we evaluate the impact of optimal smoothing on the network resources needed for video transport, under two network service models: Deterministic Guaranteed service [1, 31] and Renegotiated CBR (RCBR) service [9]. Under both models the impact of optimal

denotes the correlation matrix of the encoding functions. The image noise matrix [8] is then given by The second approach, dubbed the weak one, uses a different concept of similarity between real voxel functions and ideal shapes. It requires that each voxel function fulfil the orthonormality relations
