Video compression is one of the topics included in the area of images digital processing. The book gives an introduction to algorithms and architectures used in standard video and audio compression

The Student’s Guide to VHDL teaches the fundamental modeling features of VHDL, showing how the features are used for the design of digital systems. It is organized so that it can be read linearly from front to back, as a…

The book intends to address the important aspects of high-performance signal processing with a focus on the recent development of VLSI technology for signal processing.
The editors collect much of all the research efforts and findings that have made high…

Requirements Engineering is the key issue for the development of Software Systems, that meet the expectations of their customers and users, are delivered on time, and are developed within budget.
This book intends to provide the state of the art…

This work develops a system to visualize the information for radar systems interfaces. It is a flexible, portable software system that allows to be used for radars that have different technologies and that is able to be adapted to the…

This work describes an inference mechanism applied to AliQAn Question Answering System for Spanish in open domain. AliQAn is based fundamentally on the use of syntactic patterns to identify the possible answers. An inference mechanism is applied to the questions…

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…

A natural inference mechanism is presented : the Black Box problem is transformed into a Dirichlet's problem on the closed cube. Then it is solved in closed polynomial form, together with a Mean-Value theorem and a Maximum Principle.A generalization to…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…

The present paper poses a new method for computing the rotation of a ball in sport training situations, when the ball is approaching the goal line. The proposed method significantly reduces the hardware requirements associated to the capture, as well…
