Works of art often are complex objects, and to fully understand how they were constructed requires a variety of tools. The tools are used to provide information about the object, including its age, origin, construction methods, and materials. Art conservators and historians use this information...
This thesis explores fundamentals of optical computing by means of fast Fourier transform Integration on Silicon On Insulator chip technology toward its implementation in analog and temporal domain. This is done by cascading (N-2) stages of delayed interferometers (couplers and phase shifters)...
Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are widely used as application accelerators in High Performance Computing (HPC) due to their massive floating-point computational capabilities and highly data-parallel computing architecture. GPU co-processors are present in top supercomputers, such as the...
Modern control systems rely on a complex network of interacting sub-systems. Because a failure in any of these sub-systems could have catastrophic consequences, it is necessary to detect and isolate faults in control system components, i.e. actuators or sensors before the fault is allowed to...
In this thesis a thorough examination of proportionate-type normalized least square (PtNLMS) algorithm is presented. The main application of these algorithms is network echo cancellation. The examination presented includes the analysis of both steady-state and transient regimes of the PtNLMS...
This work establishes a framework to distinguish continuous-phase frequency shift keying modulation from quadrature amplitude modulation and phase shift keying modulations in two scenarios. In the first scenario, we assume that the central frequencies of linear modulations are different from that...
Image quality assessment (IQA) is widely applied in many areas such as camera technology, digital television, stream video service. With the increase of computer networks transmission bit rate, the greater requirements for non-references image quality assessment in practice prompts the...
