In Multi-Level Cell (MLC) memories, multiple bits of information are packed within the cell to enable higher capacity and lower cost of manufacturing compared to those of the single-level cell flash. However, because of ...

Network slicing is one of the major solutions needed to meet the requirements of next generation cellular networks, under one common network infrastructure, in supporting multiple vertical services provided by mobile network ...

In this study, we propose a face recognition scheme using local Zernike moments (LZM), which can be used for both identification and verification. In this scheme, local patches around the landmarks are extracted from the ...

Archiving and systematic backup of large digital data generates a quick demand for multi-petabyte scale storage systems. As drive capacities continue to grow beyond the few terabytes range to address the demands of today’s ...

Visible-infrared cross-modality person re-identification (VI-ReId) is an essential task for video surveillance in poorly illuminated or dark environments. Despite many recent studies on person re-identification in the ...

Cold data storage systems are used to allow long term digital preservation for institutions’ archive. The common functionality among cold and warm/hot data storage is that the data is stored on some physical medium for ...

Voice-overs are used extensively to increase the effectiveness of the TV ads especially in the last decade. The main purpose is to provide the brand message via a clear feature that will inevitably grab the attention of ...

Purpose This study aims to explore the plausibility of the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) methodology for neuromarketing applications and develop a neurophysiologically-informed model of purchasing behavior ...

In this paper, we present a novel dense local image representation method called Local Walsh Transform (LWT)by applying the well-known Walsh Transform (WT) to each pixel of an image. The LWT decomposes an image into multiple ...

Founsure is an open-source software library that implements a multi-dimensional graph-based erasure coding entirely based on fast exclusive OR (XOR) logic. Its implementation utilizes compiler optimizations and multi-threading ...
