It is difficult to recognize character strings from maps, which involve various figures. The authors describe a method for recognizing character strings from these topographical maps. The method consists of a bottom-up process and a top-down process. First, in the bottom-up process, character candidates are extracted from a map. Second, in the top-down process, these character candidates are grouped into strings using linguistic knowledge of strings. Through the top-down process, character strings are recognized correctly and efficiently from low precise character candidates extracted through the bottom-up process. The method was applied to 13 maps (512/spl times/512 pixels) involving 98 strings. As a result, 95% of 98 strings were extracted correctly.< >

This paper presents and compares the structure and performance of new alternate architectures developed for spectral noise shaping in over-sampled analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. These architectures differ from conventional design approaches in two ways. The primary difference is in the distribution of transmission zeros in the noise transfer function, while the secondary difference is the manner in which the architecture forms these transmission zeros.< >

The standard sigma-delta modulator uses feedback around 1-bit quantizers to transform open loop integrator poles into closed loop transmission zeros of the noise transfer function. The DC transmission zeros permit high resolution quantization of data over a frequency band in their neighborhood. Closed loop zeros can be shifted to arbitrary spectral locations by doubling the number of integrators and then applying local feedback around integrator pairs thereby converting them to resonators. These spectrally shifted zeros support high resolution quantization at the selected (arbitrary) center frequency. In the paper the authors describe an alternate technique for shifting the open loop poles around the unit circle. In this method, rather than forming resonators, they use a spectral transformation on the baseband process performed by embedded all-pass filters.< >

Present a new method of designing 2-D IIR (infinite impulse response) digital filters taking into account the stability in a self-consistent manner by means of the interpolation of the transfer functions by two-variable rational functions. The general theory is first outlined. Then, a design method is presented with special emphasis on the approximation of the circularly symmetric characteristics and, simultaneously, the degree economization. As a typical example, a Chebyshev-type filter is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.< >

The authors propose a new style for three-layer channel routing. Liked the horizontal-vertical-horizontal (HVH) model, the middle layer is reserved for all vertical connections to the terminals on both sides of a channel. However, the authors use rectilinear wires on the top and bottom layers to complete the remaining routing. Using this model, the authors develop a channel router and show that it produces optimum solutions to all the benchmark examples tested. The algorithm runs in O(n/sup 2/w+wl) time, where n, w, and l are the number of nets, the channel width, and the sum of lengths of wires for the nets, respectively. It was implemented in C on a Sun 3/160 workstation. The experimental results are provided.< >

A general state-space model of a two-dimensional linear multivariable discrete system was introduced by Kurek [1]. This model includes the 2-D models of Attasi [2], Roesser [3], and Fornasini and Marchesini [4]. In this paper, a novel approach for computing the transfer function, the characteristic polynomial, and the adjoint matrix of the Kurek model is given. The procedure involves representation of the system characteristic equation in a matrix polynomial.

The machine shop at the Annapolis Laboratory of the David Taylor Research Center (DTRC) provides model making and prototype support to a large variety of naval ship related engineering projects. In order to meet these challenging requirements, computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques are being used to produce “one of a kind” prototypes or very low volume production parts. The use of computer aides in these cases is to facilitate the accurate manufacture of a difficult part, rather than to improve manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, the approach provides the flexibility required to support research and development projects. Several examples of prototype shipboard components manufactured using CAD/CAM techniques are presented in this paper. The hardware and software that facilitated these projects are discussed. The examples described have met the requirements to produce a wide variety of prototype shipboard machinery components quickly and accurately.

Aspects of the design and specification of a generic graphical user interface for control system design and the emerging standards for user interface implementation that underlie it are discussed. The use of this interface in future design environments should permit the rapid development of novel design methods and at the same time, by enforcing a consistent look and feel across applications, make the transfer of new knowledge much simpler than is possible at present. A brief history of computer-aided control system design (CACSD) is given. Advantages of sophisticated graphical user interfaces and standards for user interface development are discussed. A description of how an existing CACSD package has been redesigned to take on board the latest user interface technology is included.< >

The aim of this paper is to present the basis of the adaptive control approach being pursued in the Centre for Industrial control Science at the University of Newcastle. A key feature of this approach is the separate optimization of procedures for estimation and on-line control law synthesis. Regarding the estimation module, attention is given to such features as data filtering, the response of the estimator, techniques for handling unmodelled dynamics and the question of numerical accuracy. Regarding the control law synthesis module, attention is given to robustness to unstructured modelling errors, disturbance and set-point feedforward techniques and implementation issues. In the paper, these various aspects are illustrated by reference to a case study problem proposed by Mike Master and Herb Cohn from Texas Instruments.

An iterative algorithm is presented to compute lower bounds for the structured singular value ( mu ). The algorithm resembles a mixture of power methods for eigenvalues and singular values, since the structured singular value can be viewed as a generalization of both. If the algorithm converges, a lower bound for mu results. The authors prove that mu is always an equilibrium point of the algorithm. However, since in general there are many equilibrium points, some heuristic ideas to achieve convergence are presented. Extensive numerical experience with the algorithm is discussed.< >
