The watershed transform is the method of choice for image segmentation in the field of mathematical morphology. We present a critical review of several definitions of the watershed transform and the associated sequential algorithms, and discuss various issues which often cause confusion in the literature. The need to distinguish between definition, algorithm specification and algorithm implementation is pointed out. Various examples are given which illustrate differences between watershed transforms based on different definitions and/or implementations. The second part of the paper surveys approaches for parallel implementation of sequential watershed algorithms.

A method is presented that allows determining the three-dimensional movement of an object starting from the analysis of a sequence of images. The mathematical model of angular relationship, gives results with small error using simple trigonometry. The method to calculate the trajectory of the movement of an object is based on the analysis of each frame, determining its location in each image, composing a line that represents the movement in time. The time of processing depends directly on the size of the analyzed images. The results are validated with video recordings carried out in laboratory and with real images.

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a digital multiplexing technique that is widely used in some cellular communication systems. Although the user time slots within a cell are designed to be synchronized with each other, they are asynchronous with time slots in nearby cells operating on the same carrier frequencies. The resulting cochannel interference is an important consideration in such systems because it influences the cell size and the quality of service. This paper provides an overview of an adaptive array that is capable of separating and demodulating cochannel signals in a sequential manner. Least-squares algorithms with training are employed to compute the array (beamformer) coefficients such that several cochannel signals are rejected. The array output contains an estimate of one cochannel signal that is equalized and processed by the detector.

This paper gives a description of an adaptive on-line diagnosis system for the detection of slow varying changes in dynamical systems using a fuzzy pattern recognition approach. This contribution is an extent ion of a previous paper (Boudaoud et al ., 1996), we have included in the diagnosis and supervision scheme a fusion moduleto combine the decisions of the different sources i.e. classes.

We substantially improve the known algorithms for approximating all the complex zeros of an n(th) degree polynomial p(x). Our new algorithms save both Boolean and arithmetic sequential time, versus the previous best algorithms of Schonhage [1], Pan [2], and Neff and Pelf [3]. In parallel (NC) implementation, we dramatically decrease the number of processors, versus the parallel algorithm of Neff [4], which was the only NC algorithm known for this problem so far. Specifically, under the simple normalization assumption that the variable a: has been scaled so as to confine the zeros of p(x) to the unit disc {x : \x\ less than or equal to 1}, our algorithms (which promise to be practically effective) approximate all the zeros of p(a) within the absolute error bound 2(-b), by using order of n arithmetic operations and order of (b + n)n(2) Boolean (bitwise) operations (in both cases up to within polylogarithmic factors). The algorithms allow their optimal (work preserving) NC parallelization, so that they can be implemented by using polylogarithmic time and the orders of n arithmetic processors or (b + n)n(2) Boolean processors. All the cited bounds on the computational complexity are within polylogarithmic factors from the optimum (in terms of n and b) under both arithmetic and Boolean models of computation (in the Boolean case, under the additional (realistic) assumption that n = O(b)).

This paper introduces a new method for solving the assembly planning automation problem based on Genetic algorithms. Unlike other existing planners, the new method is not majorly sensitive to increases in product parts. The search space of assembly problems is restricted to feasible sequences only, while the GA output is stochastic in nature. To bypass this obstacle, this paper introduces a new mapping fA that transforms any randomly chosen sequence into a feasible sequence according to the assembly problem restrictions, while preserving some of its order characteristics. The algorithm GAF combining GA and fA is proved to converge when GA converges.

This paper gives a description of an adaptative on-line diagnosis system for the detection of slow varying changes in dynamical systems. This fault detection system is based on both a learning and a supervisor module. The learning module acts as an adaptatif fuzzy classifier i.e. its parameters are updated on-line. The supervisor module controls the learning periods of the classifier, it makes the adaptation of the classifier parameters on steady states, these parameters are saved without changes as evolutions occur (e.g. slow or abrupt). So, the diagnosis system is able to detect: new operation modes and slow or abrupt varying changes on the plant operation modes.

Probabilistic, or randomized, algorithms are fast becoming as commonplace as conventional deterministic algorithms. This survey presents five techniques that have been widely used in the design of randomized algorithms. These techniques are illustrated using 12 randomized algorithms-both sequential and distributed-that span a wide range of applications, including: primality testing (a classical problem in number theory), universal hashing (choosing the hash function dynamically and at random), interactive probabilistic proof systems (a new method of program testing), dining philosophers (a classical problem in distributed computing), and Byzantine agreement (reaching agreement in the presence of malicious processors). Included with each algorithm is a discussion of its correctness and its computational complexity. Several related topics of interest are also addressed, including the theory of probabilistic automata, probabilistic analysis of conventional algorithms, deterministic amplification, and derandomization of randomized algorithms. Finally, a comprehensive annotated bibliography is given.

Many problems on sequences and on special kinds of graphs involve the computation of longest chains passing points in the plane. Given a set S of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the matrix of longest chain lengths between all pairs of points in S, and the matrix of ''parent'' pointers that describes the n longest chain trees. We present a simple sequential algorithm for computing these matrices. Our algorithm runs in O(n(2)) time, and hence is optimal. We also present a rather involved parallel algorithm that computes these matrices in O((log n)(2)) time using O(n(2)/log n) processors in the CREW PRAM model. These matrices enable us to report, in O(1) time, the length of a longest chain between any two points in S by using one processor, and the actual chain by using k processors, where k is the number of points of S on that chain. The space complexity of the algorithms is O(n(2)).
