Transferring color to greyscale images
Authors: Tomihisa Welsh, Michael Ashikhmin, Klaus Mueller
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

We introduce a general technique for "colorizing" greyscale images by transferring color between a source, color image and a destination, greyscale image. Although the general problem of adding chromatic values to a greyscale image has no exact, objective solution, the current approach attempts to provide a method to help minimize the amount of human labor required for this task. Rather than choosing RGB colors from a palette to color individual components, we transfer the entire color "mood" of the source to the target image by matching luminance and texture information between the images. We choose to transfer only chromatic information and retain the original luminance values of the target image. Further, the procedure is enhanced by allowing the user to match areas of the two images with rectangular swatches. We show that this simple technique can be successfully applied to a variety of images and video, provided that texture and luminance are sufficiently distinct. The images generated demonstrate the potential and utility of our technique in a diverse set of application domains.
OpenGL volumizer: a toolkit for high quality volume rendering of large data sets
Authors: Praveen Bhaniramka, Yves Demange
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE symposium on Volume visualization and graphics (2002)

We present the OpenGL Volumizer API for interactive, high-quality, scalable visualization of large volumetric data sets. Volumizer provides a high-level interface to OpenGL hardware to allow application writers and researchers to visualize multiple gigabytes of volumetric data. Use of multiple graphics pipes scales rendering performance and system resources including pixel-fill rate and texture memory size. Volume roaming and multi-resolution volume rendering provide alternatives for interactive visualization of volume data. We combine the concepts of roaming and multi-resolution to introduce 3D Clip-Textures, an efficient technique to visualize arbitrarily large volume data by judiciously organizing and paging them to local graphics resources from storage peripherals. Volumetric shaders provide an interface for high quality volume rendering along with implementing new visualization techniques. This paper gives an overview of the API along with a discussion of large data visualization techniques used by Volumizer.

Beginning Access 2000 VBA with Cdrom
Authors: Robert Smith, David Sussman
Venue:  (1999)

:Access 2000 is an important part of the Office 2000 program suite, and will be available on both the Premium and Professional editions of Office 2000. Access has traditionally been the Office suite database program par excellence. It still remains that way, but with Office 2000 the face of Access is changing. This book will look at the traditional role of Access and its future uses in the Office suite. Using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the user can program his or her own programs in what is essentially a subset of the Visual Basic programming languages. This is tremendously powerful, as it allows you to create great User Interfaces (forms etc), as a front end to actual database storage and manipulation. This continues to be one of the great strengths of programming Access VBA. This book updates, expands and improves Beginning Access 97 VBA Programming, in an Office 2000 setting. All the great tutorial content, teaching people how to program with VBA in Access will be there, but now majorly rewritten to take account of Office 2000.

Nonmonotone Spectral Projected Gradient Methods on Convex Sets
Authors: Ernesto G. Birgin, José Mario Martínez, Marcos Raydan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

Nonmonotone projected gradient techniques are considered for the minimization of differentiable functions on closed convex sets. The classical projected gradient schemes are extended to include a nonmonotone steplength strategy that is based on the Grippo--Lampariello--Lucidi nonmonotone line search. In particular, the nonmonotone strategy is combined with the spectral gradient choice of steplength to accelerate the convergence process. In addition to the classical projected gradient nonlinear path, the feasible spectral projected gradient is used as a search direction to avoid additional trial projections during the one-dimensional search process. Convergence properties and extensive numerical results are presented.

The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in artificial intelligence who desire an understanding of the mathematical and statistical basis of probabilistic expert systems, and to students and research workers in statistics wanting an introduction to this fascinating and rapidly developing field. The careful attention to detail will also make this work an important reference source for all those involved in the theory and applications of probabilistic expert systems.
A Least Squares Method for Solving Biharmonic Problems
Authors: R. W. Thatcher
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

We discuss a generalization of the Cauchy--Riemann equations, which is applicable to biharmonic problems. A first-order system is derived from these equations, and this system is solved using the least squares method with continuous trial functions set up by the finite element method. Optimal rates of convergence in $L^2 (\Omega)$ are proved in regions with smooth boundaries and optimal rates of convergence are proved in $H^1 (\Omega)$ and, using linear triangular elements, observed in $L^2 (\Omega)$ in polygonal regions.

An Efficient Linear Solver for Nonlinear Parameter Identification Problems
Authors: Yee Lo Keung, Jun Zou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper, we study some efficient numerical methods for parameter identifications in elliptic systems. The proposed numerical methods are conducted iteratively and each iteration involves only solving positive definite linear algebraic systems, although the original inverse problems are ill-posed and highly nonlinear. The positive definite systems can be naturally preconditioned with their corresponding block diagonal matrices. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.

Authors: Matthias Jarke, Y. Vassiliou, P. Vassiliadis, M. Lenzerini
Venue:  (1999)

:Data warehouses have captured the attention of practitioners and researchers alike. But the design and optimization of data warehouses remains an art rather than a science. This book presents a comparative review of the state of the art and best current practice of data warehouses. It covers source and data integration, multidimensional aggregation, query optimization, update propagation, metadata management, quality assessment, and design optimization. Also, based on results of the European Data Warehouse Quality project, it offers a conceptual framework by which the architecture and quality of data warehouse efforts can be assessed and improved using enriched metadata management combined with advanced techniques from databases, business modeling, and artificial intelligence. For researchers and database professionals in academia and industry, the book offers an excellent introduction to the issues of quality and metadata usage in the context of data warehouses.

Modulo scheduling with integrated register spilling for clustered VLIW architectures
Authors: Javier Zalamea, Josep Llosa, Eduard Ayguadé, Mateo Valero
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

Clustering is a technique to decentralize the design of future wide issue VLIW cores and enable them to meet the technology constraints in terms of cycle time, area and power dissipation. In a clustered design, registers and functional units are grouped in clusters so that new instructions are needed to move data between them. New aggressive instruction scheduling techniques are required to minimize the negative effect of resource clustering and delays in moving data around.In this paper we present a novel software pipelining technique that performs instruction scheduling with reduced register requirements, register allocation, register spilling and inter-cluster communication in a single step. The algorithm uses limited backtracking to reconsider previously taken decisions. This backtracking provides the algorithm with additional possibilities for obtaining high throughput schedules with low spill code requirements for clustered architectures. We show that the proposed approach outperforms previously proposed techniques and that it is very scalable independently of the number of clusters, the number of communication buses and communication latency. The paper also includes an exploration of some parameters in the design of future clustered VLIW cores.
