This study focuses on how to optimize train timetables with transfer synchronization for a high-speed rail network. Aiming at network-based and synchronization-oriented train operations, a bi-objective integer programming model integrated with irregular headways is proposed to maximize the number of connections and minimize the total transfer waiting time for one day. This study also reveals an interactive relationship for timetables, transfer schemes and number of connections. By optimizing the two objectives sequentially, we develop a novel heuristic searchalgorithm to solve the proposed model. Specifically, an initial solution is obtained by independently optimizing the first objective, and the improved timetables are iteratively searched to minimize the total waiting time under the maximum number of transfer connections. We also put forward a set of numerical experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness and availability of the proposed approach.

Anew image compression algorithm is proposed and demonstrated in the context of structured light 3D reconstruction. Structured light images contain patterns of light, which are captured by the sensor at very high resolution. The algorithm steps involvea two level Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) followed by a Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) to generate a DC-Column andan MA-Matrix (Multi-Array Matrix). The MA-Matrix is then partitioned into blocks and a minimization algorithm codes each block followed by arithmetic coding. At decompression stage anewproposedalgorithm, sequential-searchalgorithm (SS-algorithm) is used to estimate the MA-Matrix. Thereafter, all decompressed DC-Columns arecombined withthe MA-Matrix followed by inverse DCT and inverse DWT. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated within a 3D reconstruction scenario from structured light images.

This paper proposes a novel hybrid genetic algorithm for feature selection. Local search operations are devised and embedded in hybrid GAs to fine-tune the search. The operations are parameterized in terms of their fine-tuning power, and their effectiveness and timing requirements are analyzed and compared. The hybridization technique produces two desirable effects: a significant improvement in the final performance and the acquisition of subset-size control. The hybrid GAs showed better convergence properties compared to the classical GAs. A method of performing rigorous timing analysis was developed, in order to compare the timing requirement of the conventional and the proposed algorithms. Experiments performed with various standard data sets revealed that the proposed hybrid GA is superior to both a simple GA and sequential search algorithms.

A new low-power, fast-locking, all-digital delay-locked loop (DLL) that uses a disposable time-to-digital converter (TDC) is presented for future memory systems beyond double data rate 4. To achieve fast locking and high-frequency operation, the proposed DLL utilises a new hybrid (TDC + binary + sequential) searchalgorithm that results in a fast locking time of 11 clock cycles without the false lock and harmonic lock problems. By minimising the intrinsic delay of the digital delay line, the proposed DLL achieves an operating frequency range of 1.5-5.0 GHz which is higher than that of the current state-of-the-art all-digital DLLs. The DLL is fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process and it achieves a peak-to-peak (p-p) output clock jitter of 14 ps (with a p-p input clock jitter of 8 ps) at 5 GHz. The DLL consumes 6.9 mW at 1 V and occupies an active area of 0.025 mm(2).

In the present era of the internet and multimedia, image compression techniques are essential to improve image and video performance in terms of storage space, network bandwidth usage, and secure transmission. A number of image compression methods are available with largely differing compression ratios and coding complexity. In this paper we propose a new method for compressing high-resolution images based on the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Matrix Minimization (MM) algorithm. The method consists of transforming an image by DFT yielding the real and imaginary components. A quantization process is applied to both components independently aiming at increasing the number of high frequency coefficients. The real component matrix is separated into Low Frequency Coefficients (LFC) and High Frequency Coefficients (HFC). Finally, the MM algorithm followed by arithmetic coding is applied to the LFC and HFC matrices. The decompression algorithm decodes the data in reverse order. A sequential search algorithm is used to decode the data from the MM matrix. Thereafter, all decoded LFC and HFC values are combined into one matrix followed by the inverse DFT. Results demonstrate that the proposed method yields high compression ratios over 98% for structured light images with good image reconstruction. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed method compares favorably with the JPEG technique based on compression ratios and image quality.
