Model. It is used for solving constrained (numerical)
optimization problems. The model operates
on…

This paper addresses the problem of contour line extraction from scanned topographic maps in poor condition. A novel method is developed, using knowledge of cartography and graphics to extract contours by removing other layers which overlay the contours, and reconstructing…

This essay is based on a previous “regression” testing knowledge, black box testing and user graphic interfaces testing. Besides, due to the fact that the testing life cycle is inside the software life cycle, the suggested focus promotes existing test…
