Computer Analysis of the Geometry of the Retinal Vasculature

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This work concerns with the development of automatic computer methods to detect and measure the state of the retinal branching structures on clinical images by image processing techniques and morphological analysis. Since retinal vessel branching patterns characterise a number of diseases that affect the vascular system, these tools will allow the future development of systems for screening by means of non-invasive techniques. The first stage is the detection and segmentation of the blood vessels to convert the original gray scale image into a binary image. The second stage is to perform the analysis of the morphology of the vascular tree from the binary images by making measurements of the geometrical parameters such as lengths, widths, and branching angles of the blood vessels, from which other important geometrical parameters are defined. Finally, we analysed red-free clinical retinal images from hypertensive patients to study the relationship between vascular patterns and disease. We investigated three main approaches: geometrical, topological and fractal analysis. Preliminary results showed that significant differences could be found between groups in each of these approaches. ····· 1036187997

A Heuristic Based Solution for Rectangle Packing Problem

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This monograph investigates approaches for two-dimensional stock cutting (Rectangle Packing) problems and development of a new algorithm which brings back the revision of a classical heuristic for Rectangle Packing as proposed by Cheok and Nee. These problems occur in several important manufacturing industries e.g. Paper, Glass, Wood, Textile, Plastic and Foam, Garments, Leather, Ship manufacturing and Shoe making etc. The application of automatic packing algorithms can yield considerable cost savings through the diminution of human solvers and better utilisation of raw material.The scope of the research study is to develop an algorithm for a heuristic that aims for optimisation of a rectangle packing problem (RPP). An instance of RPP can be described as number of rectangles called items (comparatively smaller in size) that are to be packed/ cut from relatively larger rectangles called objects, in such a way that the scrap left is minimum or sheet utilisation is maximum. These objects can even be a stock of different sized rectangles available in assorted numbers. This monograph has 6 chapters and provides adequate material on various approaches to solve the RPP. ····· 1036187893

Pricing of exotic options under Kou model by using Laplace transform

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Nowadays the knowledge about pricing of ordinary derivatives is generally used and investors become interested in more complex products such as the exotic options. For people dealing with options in the market it is important to be able to price these specific derivatives. In this book, we focus on the pricing and modeling of such derivative products. So far, the Black-Scholes model has a huge influence on the way that traders price and hedge options. Despite the successes of Black-Scholes model, it has some shortcomings, emerged from many empirical investigations. Many models are produced to modify Black-Scholes model. Our objective was to consider the Kou model, to use the Laplace transform and it`s Euler inversion algorithm to price plain vanilla and exotic options. We applied the research results to valuation of options in the real market. We wrote our own program in the software for statistical computing R and presented results on the example of the NASDAQ OMX Stocholm Market, considering the two-asset correlation options. We can assert that the observable option pricing method can be implemented to the real market and it will be useful for the market participants. ····· 1036187563

Automated Biomarker Extraction from Medical Images

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Medical images are widely available to support clinical decision making. This book describes how computer-aided feature extraction techniques can help to obtain biomarkers from medical images that relate to a certain clinical state or the disease progression of individual patients. Different techniques are presented for the example of biomarkers for Alzheimer`s disease extracted from brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The first part of the book deals with the automated measurement of traditional morphometric biomarkers. In particular, methods to determine hippocampal volume and hippocampal atrophy are described. In the second part, more data-driven approaches for biomarker extraction based on novel machine-learning techniques are discussed. One application area for the described biomarkers is the selection of subjects in large-scale clinical trials. Other areas include the incorporation of biomarkers into computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems and the measurement of effects in clinical trials. All described methods are evaluated on a large MRI study on Alzheimer`s disease. ····· 1036187522

Observations on Reusability, Frameworks and Testing

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Software testing, being the costliest and effort intensive phase of software development, has always demanded attention of researchers for some methodology, strategy, process and measurement etc. so that the testing cost and thence the development cost is reduced without any compromise in the quality of the software being developed. The aim of the work described in this book is purposeful consideration of reuse technology for achieving test effort reduction in software development. A two-pronged approach has been considered here for this purpose. The first one attempts to reduce testing effort by integrating reuse to software testing processes and thereby proposed and established the need of `Reuse-Oriented Software Testing Process Model`. The otherapproach discusses testability of reusable software frameworks, as an attempt to reduce testing effort in case of framework-oriented software development. This work purposefully considers `framework` testability metric models. The researchers and practitioners dealing with software testing, software reuse, frameworks and their testability, can find the discussion, observations and conclusions reported herein useful. ····· 1036187304

The Easy-Learning Platform: Concept and Solution

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
eLearning enables a quick and always improvable interaction between the tutor (teacher) and the student (user), who can access information from any point. Interactivity is provided by the possibilities, which are virtually endless, of multimedia formats (combination of text, sound, still images and moving images, animation, etc.) combined with hyperlink mode, focusing both on learning and integrate, as well as on practice and application. The Easy-Learning platform may be considered a good way of real-time distance interaction between tutor and students, under the supervising of an administrator. The actual version of the platform was built both to add new facilities on the menu and to transpose the old ones in an optimal shape much more safe, manageable and maintainable. Using the Symfony framework, a robust and heavily tested framework proved to be a very inspired choice, which can now permit the new platform to be more flexible and versatile, to sustainably develop in an organized manner, as it has an adaptive database to rely on. One can safely assume that the reorganization and the re-inventing of the Easy-Learning platform as on-line educational system was a complete success. ····· 1036187022

Image and Video Coding Technique Based on Object Extraction

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Image/Video compression is an area of research that has received considerable attention over the last few decades. Image and video data compression refers to a process in which the amount of data used to represent image and video is reduced to meet a bit rate requirement (below or at the most equal to the maximum available bit rate), while the quality of the reconstructed image or video satisfies a requirement for a certain application and complexity of computation involved is affordable for application. Image and video data compression has been found to be necessary in these important applications, because the huge amount of data involved in these and other applications usually greatly exceeds the capability of today s hardware despite rapid advancements in the semiconductor, computer, and other related industries. The objective of this book is to develop an object-based coding framework built upon a family of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and wavelet coding techniques for a variety of images and video scalable and nonscalable coding applications. The book is divided into two parts of coding techniques. One is object-based image coding another is object-based video coding. ····· 1036186964

Fault Tolerant Flocking Algorithms for a Group of Mobile Robots

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Recently, robotics research has been gained a lot of attentions, due to its wide applications, especially in some places that human beings cannot survive, like in a planet or fire. Flocking, as one of important applications of coordination of multiple robots, has a lot of applications. Our research goal is to achieve the effective coordinated flocking even with the crash of mobile robots. First, we proposed a fault tolerant flocking in an asynchronous model. Our algorithm ensures that the crash of faulty robots does not bring the formation to a permanent stop, and that the correct robots are thus eventually allowed to reorganize and continue moving together. We further design a new method by allowing the formation to move to any direction, including rotation, yet in a semi-synchronous model. We analyze the self-stabilization of our fault tolerant flocking algorithms when the memory of robots may corrupt. Finally, we propose a non-fault tolerant flocking algorithm in order to compare the performance with the above fault-tolerant ones. The described algorithm can effectively adapt to the environment to avoid the collision among robots and obstacles. ····· 1036186553

Battery-aware Multiprocessor Task Scheduling

····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Battery life determines the duration and the extent of mobility for the battery-powered portable embedded systems and is a key performance metric for scheduling tasks on these multiprocessor systems. The main challenge is to space out the tasks to be executed on the multiprocessor system with the objective of shaping the battery discharge profile so as to enhance battery life, while at the same time, meeting the real-time timing constraints of the tasks. The current monograph addresses battery-aware static scheduling of precedence constrained task graphs with non-negligible intertask communication onto fully connected multiple processors in battery-powered mobile embedded systems. We propose a scheduling scheme comprising of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing techniques, both of which can efficiently explore the search space of all possible legal schedules to find a battery-efficient one. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheduling scheme over existing approaches on example task graphs and study the impact on battery life using a battery model. Our experimental results shows considerable improvement in battery life over existing approaches. ····· 1036125573
