The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest producer of date fruit. It produces almost 400 date varieties in bulk. During the harvesting season the date grading and sorting pose problems for date growers. Since it is a labor intensive and time consuming process, it delays the post harvesting operations which costs them dearly.The date grading and sorting is a repetitive process. In practice,...
This paper presents a study of the newly proposed End-to-end Measurement Based Admission Control scheme with Loss threshold policy (EMBAC-L). The proposed scheme allows automatic adjustment of the admission control scheme parameters using a feedback measurement of the network’s active loss rate. If the loss rate is less than the predetermined threshold, then the call is accepted, otherwise the call...
Boundary-based shape matching has many applications in areas, such as pattern recognition and computer vision. Recently, Dynamic space warping (DSW) has emerged as a very effective tool for matching shapes. However, a central computational difficulty associated with DSW arises when a boundary’s starting point (or rotation angle) is unknown. In this paper, the HopDSW algorithm is proposed to speed...
In this paper, we study the internal blocking problem in optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs). We introduce algorithms to resolve internal blocking in optical MINs based on buffering and/or wavelength conversion. Since the computations involved in some of the introduced algorithms are so little, they can be implemented in real time effectively. A simulation program has been developed...
Association rule mining aims to extract the correlation or causal structure existing between a set of frequent items or attributes in a database. These associations are represented by mean of rules. Association rule mining methods provide a robust but non-linear approach to find associations. The search for association rules is an NP-complete problem. The complexities mainly arise in exploiting huge...
