In electronic design automation, the problem of double patterning lithography (DPL) can be formulated as follows. Two features of a layout should be assigned different colors if their spacing is less than the minimum coloring spacing. Because only two colors are used in DPL, a layout may contain a pattern which cannot be assigned a color. To resolve the conflict, a stitch is used to split a feature...
Urban Planning Stake for urban planning and design, were been the basis of land development, roads and public facilities construction reference. In tradition, according to measured and buried stone marker in the land to define the Urban Planning Stake location of the Urban Planning. However, the cost of buried Urban Planning Stake is too high as well as maintain in the future also has certain difficulty.
Traditional, the hardcopy of cadastral map is an important historical evidence for the land parcels information in the Land Office. However, the paper is not easy to save and the size of the scanner is not large enough for digital storage either. In this study, multi-view image processing technology is applied to create a true ortho-photo of cadastral map for solving the storage problem.
Various coordinate systems of cadastral map are not very easy to be unified in Taiwan area due to temporal-spatial limitation of these maps. Therefore, the urban planning map, topographic map and other base map cannot integrate into geographic information system (GIS) for additional value-added applications. Cadastral map is directly related to the people's property, it is essential to develop “three...
In this paper, we perform the comparison study of ECG signals for subjects at distinct ends of cardiopulmonary fitness. The cardiopulmonary signals were acquired under rest condition, three graded exercise intensities, and recovery periods. The participants were recruited from university freshmen with cardiopulmonary fitness norm in top, middle, and bottom groups. Spectral analysis was performed to...
The understanding of the pain frequency of patients can facilitate medical professional diagnosis, so self-management tools for pain have gained increasing attention. However, there have been just a limited number of tools for children who are not highly literate. In this study, the first of 10 children aged from 3 to 9 as objects, to clarify the extent of the children's understanding of graphic design...
With the rapid development of web, mobile apps and IoT devices, a huge volume of data are created every day. In fact, these data are not only large, but also generated quickly and with a variety of different formats. Many companies are forced to face the problem of processing these large data in near real-time. Within different application domains, some data are required to be processed in real-time,...
GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning technology is widely used in military and civil area, especially beneficial in surveying field. Recently, the high precision coordinate point can be obtained from GNSS, and replaced the lot of traditional work by total station. Among the new developed technology, Network Real Time Kinematic (RTK) is became the most popular technique in surveying...
The accuracy of the image is dependent on the quality parameters of camera. The camera parameters is obtained from the target calibration of the test bench in past. Recently, the image processing software can be dealt with the target-free calibration by internal programming. In this research, the images of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are examined by two types of processes, target calibration and...
Mixed-reality digital interactive performance is a new style of performance art that facilitates impromptu interactions among dancers and virtual characters in real time. However, such performance is difficult to conduct as the performance designer has to deal with the asynchronous events and temporal requirements of interactions among performers, virtual characters, and music, which are tedious and...
In this work, we propose a reconfigurable near-data systolic array accelerator (NDSAA) for the 3D DRAM systems. The NDSAA supports the iterative operations for different applications, and the data movement between the processor core and the 3D DRAM is reduced. In our experiments, the 3D DRAM stacking the NDSAA reduces the latency by 51% ∼ 70% compared to the one stacking the general bi-directional...
Compare with the infra-ray light gaze tracking systems, the visible light gaze tracking (VLGT) design provides new applications to consumer electronics. However, the VLGT suffers from the technical difficulties of accommodating various illumination conditions and unstable image features. These system design issues lead to the problem of low accuracy in estimating iris center location and high computational...
The Apache Hadoop software library has been a widely used framework for extremely large-scale reliable, scalable, and distributed computing. Previous researches pointed out that the shuffle phase can be the performance bottleneck of a MapReduce job because of network congestion in the Hadoop data center. To address this issue, the idea of introducing the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology...
In this paper, a low noise and robust test scheme for 3D stacked integrated circuits based on modified standard IEEE 1149.4 has been proposed. Through the modified standard, this novel test scheme can be more robust to fulfill the microsystem integration requirements. This test scheme also makes the analog pins more observable and testable during and after the integration. The proposed test scheme...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has become more sophisticated in recent years and is being developed rapidly for a variety of applications. The problem of eliminating redundant readers has been reduced to the minimum cover problem and proved to be NP-hard. In this paper, a density-based redundant reader elimination algorithm (DRRE) is presented; DRRE eliminates the redundant readers...
Chlorinated polyethylene(CPE), as a new type of polymer materials, has been widely used in plastics and rubber production. Temperature is the main parameter of process control. Because of the delay and inertial characteristics of temperature, the ordinary cascade control is difficult to obtain good control effect. So, we design a grey PID controller based on the principle of grey model. The simulation...
This study proposes an analytic approach that combines LISREL and Bayesian networks (BN) to examine factors influencing tourism loyalty and predict a touristpsilas loyalty level. LISREL is used to verify the hypothesized relationships proposed in the research model. Subsequently, the supported relationships are used as the BN network structure for prediction. 452 valid samples were collected from...
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are promising approaches for financial time-series prediction. This study adopts a hybrid approach, called a fuzzy BPN, consisting of a back-propagation neural network (BPN) and a fuzzy membership function which takes advantage of the ANNspsila nonlinear features and interval values instead of the shortcoming of ANNspsila single-point estimation. To employ the two...
Although high-resolution remote sensing (RS) images can supplement the reference map's deficiency in LADAR (Laser Radar) referenced navigation system over plain area, their different imaging modes still leave great errors' introduction into the positioning process. As positioning is commonly accomplished by matching the edges extracted as the obvious terrain characteristics, exploring automatic procedure...
