Introduction

The subject of this work is image compression with fractals. Today JPEG has become an industrial standard in image compression. Further researches are held in two areas, wavelet based compression and fractal image compression. The fractal scheme was introduced by Michael F Barnsley in the year 1945.His idea was that images could be compactly stored as iterated functions which led to the development of the IFS scheme which forms the basis of fractal image compression. Further work in this area was conducted by A.Jacquin, a stude ....etc

To achieve a better Eb/N0 (bit energy to noise ratio) than todays Rake receiver, a better estimation of the radio channel is needed. This paper proposes to reach this goal with artificial neural networks, which are used for detecting all multipaths in a direct sequence spread spectrum signal. The output of the adaptive neual net is an estimation of the channel response. To increase the Eb/N0 of direct sequence spread spectrum signals, Rake receivers consist of up to 6 demodulators, which demodulate the strongest few echoes of the signal. Their ....etc

Tele-immersion is a technology to be implemented with Internet2 that will enable users in different geographic locations to come together in a simulated environment to interact. Users will feel like they are actually looking, talking, and meeting with each other face-to-face in the same room.


This is achieved using computers that recognize the presence and movements of individuals and objects, tracking those individuals and images, and reconstructing them onto one stereo-immersive surface.


3D reconstruction for tele-immersion is per ....etc

What is Blue eyes?
The U.S. computer giant,IBM has been conducting research on the Blue Eyes technology at its Almaden Research Center (ARC) in San Jose, Calif., since 1997. The ARC is IBM's main laboratory for basic research. The primary objective of the research is to give a computer the ability of the human being to assess a situation by using the senses of sight, hearing and touch.
Animal survival depends on highly developed sensory abilities. Likewise, human cognition depends on highly developed abilities to perceive, integrate, and in ....etc

Abstract
Backup and recovery are more important today than ever before. Take, for example, a recent announcement from a major database vendor that it now has the ability to process nearly half a million transactions per minute. That's three times the speed of the next-fastest database.
What is significant about that kind of increase? It clearly shows that businesses today are demanding higher throughput as they continue to store and process more data. It wasn't long a ....etc

Abstract
Whether it's rebuilding a car engine or diagramming a sentence, people can learn about many things
simply by taking them apart and putting them back together again. That, in a nutshell, is the concept
behind reverse-engineering—breaking something down in order to understand it, build a copy or ....etc

Reconstructing Fingerprints from Minutiae Points
Abstract

Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not reveal any information about the original fingerprint. In this paper, we challenge this notion and show that three levels of information about the parent fingerprint can be elicited from the minutiae template alone, viz., 1) the orientation field information, 2) the class o ....etc

Cardiac CT Angiography Image Reconstruction
Introduction
The use of Content Adaptive Mesh model(CAMM) for Cardiac CT reconstruction is explored.
Cardiac CT Angiography images are being reconstructed.
Content-Adaptive Mesh Generation
Mesh modeling of an image involves partitioning the image into a collection of non-overlapping (generally polygon) patches, called mesh elements.
With a mesh model one can strategically place the mesh nodes more densely in regions con ....etc

Sampling Moments and Reconstructing Signals

Consider the problem of sampling signals which are not bandlimited, but still have a finite number of degrees of freedom per unit of time, such as, for example, piecewise polynomial or piecewise sinusoidal signals, and call the number of degrees of freedom per unit of time the rate of innovation. Classical sampling theory does not enable a perfect reconstruction of such signals since the band is not limited.

Recently, it was shown that by using an adeq ....etc
