An empirical measure for the selection of the edge-enhancement Gaussian filter is developed. The Gaussian filter is specified by its standard deviation sigma ; the filter's spatial support is a function of sigma . An estimation procedure for sigma using Fourier analysis is described. The measure is easy to implement and is based totally on the image at hand. Experimental results suggest that this measure can be used as an aid in deciding the Gaussian filter's spatial support, which is needed to enhance the edges. Other equivalent bandwidth definitions can be used to obtain a measure of the frequency spread in the smoothed image (e.g., the mean-square bandwidth).< >

An analytical study of potential pathological performance areas of the Seamless architecture is presented. Seamless is a latency-tolerant, distributed memory, multiprocessor architecture. A key component of the philosophy of Seamless, however, is the use of standard, commodity components for a large part of the system. A discussion of the unavoidable implementation compromises imposed by this decision is presented, followed by a summary of some optimistic performance studies. Then an analytical study that parameterizes the predicts the worst-case impact of using standard components is provided. Finally, it is shown that these bottlenecks are manageable via careful generation of target machine code so that the optimistic performance studies become realistic expectations for a range of program behaviors and granularities.< >

Using adaptive structuring functions, we develop a morphological interpolation that allows a signal representation similar to the given by the wavelet bank of filters. With morphological operators, the interpolation problem is reduced to solving non-linear equations iteratively to get an approximate expansion of a sampled signal in terms of the structuring functions. We obtain a pyramid-like structure to decompose the signal into smoothed and detail components at different scales, just as in the wavelet representation. The use of non-linear filters in our algorithm reduces the computational complexity associated with the decomposition and synthesis. Our representation is valid for one- and two-dimensional signals. In the two-dimensional case, we consider the non-unique ordering of the structuring functions, and the variety of possible sampling, decimation and interpolation procedures. We illustrate our one- and two-dimensional representations by means of examples.< >

The capabilities of the Software Development System (SDS) are extended by integrating it with a front end that permits the parallelization of code written in C for implementation onto multiple digital signal processors (DSPs). The FlowGraph Generator (FG) that automatically transfers user C code into a data/control flowgraph is described. The proposed Hierarchical FlowGraph Generator and the proposed Hierarchical Heuristic Scheduler are also described. The former identifies tasks within hierarchies while the latter extends the capability of the current scheduler, by generating dynamic L-levels that can be used to schedule tasks inside loops and functions. The resulting finer grain parallelism has the potential for higher speedups.< >

In this study the performance of reactive ion etching (RIE) and magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching (MERIE) processes in pregate oxidation etching of the field oxide are compared. The comparison is carried out through metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) characterization of oxides and interfaces formed on etched silicon surfaces. The results revealed differences in the outcome of RIE and MERIE processes with the latter displaying overall superior characteristics. MERIE induced surface damage is shallower, and is mostly removed during oxide growth. RIE damage propagates deeper into the Si bulk and still influences the MOS devices even after the top Si layers are converted into the oxide. The results obtained emphasize the importance of adequate cleaning of silicon surfaces following RIE/MERIE processes.

“TEACON—TEAching CONtrol” is a PC-based package for computer-aided teaching of digital control of Single Input-Single Output (SISO) systems. A large variety of processes and control actions is possible. The program simulates systems in “real time” or faster than “real time.” Process and control parameters can be changed on-line during runs. Set-point and process load can also vary according to predefined functions. The program computes the ISE, IAE, and ITAE indexes, allowing studies of controller tuning and performance. Other characteristics which enhance the simulation of real systems are the saturation of sensors and controller at 0 and 100%, the ability to superimpose noises on the measurements, and the possibility of defining dead-times associated with the measurements and with the process.

There exist some situations in signalprocessing where it is necessary to compute in real time, the transform coefficients of a set of N time domain samples in a block that gets updated continuously with the arrival of a new sample. A familiar example is the frequency domain implementation of a tapped delay line (TDL) adaptive filter. One method of computing the updated (running or instantaneous) transform coefficients without resorting to the computation of N point transform each time the block gets updated, is to use the shift property of the transform. For the computation of the updated discrete cosine transform-II (DCT-II), discrete sine transform-II (DST-II), discrete cosine transform-IV (DCT-IV), and discrete sine transform-IV (DST-IV) as defined in [5], usage of the shift property requires simultaneous computation (if not available as a by-product of the desired transform computation process) and updating of corresponding DST-II, DCT-II, DST-IV, and DCT-IV, respectively. This requirement of an additional transform computation and (or) updating, results in an increased computational burden. In this paper, we give an alternate algorithm for computing updated transform coefficients for DCT-II, DST-II, DCT-IV, and DST-IV that is computationally attractive for real-time implementation. An architecture for the VLSI implementation of the proposed algorithms is also given.
