A study aimed at segmenting a high-resolution black and white image of Sunnyvale, California, is described. In this study regions were classified as belonging to any one of nine classes: residential, commercial/industrial, mobile home, water, dry land, runway/taxiway, aircraft parking, multilane highway, and vehicle parking. The classes were selected so that they directly relate to the Defense Mapping Agency's Mapping, Charting and Geodesy tangible features. To attack the problem a statistical segmentation procedure was devised. The primitive operators used to drive the segmentation are texture measures derived from cooccurrence matrices. The segmentation procedure considers three kinds of regions at each level of the segmentation: uniform, boundary, and unspecified. At every level the procedure differentiates uniform regions from boundary and unspecified regions. In the assigns a class label to the uniform regions. The boundary and unspecified regions are split to form higher level regions. The methodologies involved are mathematically developed as a series of hypothesis tests. While only a one-level segmentation was performed studies are described which show the capabilities of each of these hypothesis tests. In particular an 83% correct classification was obtained in testing the labeling procedure. These studies indicate that the proposed procedure should be useful for land use classifications as well as other problems.

Plasma immersion ion implantation applies a series of negative high-voltage pulses to a target immersed in a plasma. An analytical model of the currents and potentials induced before, during, and after the negative bias in a planar geometry is presented. The effect of multiple pulses on the results is also studied. The model determines the time-varying ion current, electron current, total current, total dose, and sheath thickness for a piecewise linear voltage pulse. The sheath collapse is found to be important for high repetition rate pulses. Implementation of the model is done in SPICE, a circuit simulator. Comparison with experimental data has demonstrated the accuracy of the model.

We describe techniques for implementing real-time partitioned convolution algorithms on conventional operating systems using two different scheduling paradigms: time-distributed (cooperative) and multi-threaded (preemptive). We discuss the optimizations applied to both implementations and present measurements of their performance for a range of impulse response lengths on a recent high-end desktop machine. We find that while the time-distributed implementation is better suited for use as a plugin within a host audio application, the preemptive version was easier to implement and significantly outperforms the time-distributed version despite the overhead of frequent context switches.

In this paper a combination of lossless and lossy compression techniques is presented for the storage and transmission of 3-D medical images. The lossy version of the data is used for fast preview when browsing through large databases. When only a small region is of interest then the lossless corrections for this region are transmitted. A special structuring of the bit-stream is also adopted to allow visualization directly from the compressed bit-stream.
