We set some landmarks to estimate the 3D position and pose of the object by a single camera. In addition, the trajectory of moving landmarks is estimated by a Kalman filter. The experimental results show that a stick with a diameter of 5.0 mm can be inserted in a moving pipe with a diameter of 30.0 mm in real-time.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

To improve system's reliability, two or more biometrics of the same identity could be combined in a manner that enhances the efficiency of the system. Multi-biometric systems integrate typical physiological (fingerprint, iris, face...etc.) and behavioral (e.g. gait, voice, signature...etc.) traits. However, other features like color of skin, color of irises and height can also be included to enhance the overall performance. In this paper, a framework for integrating a soft biometric like the color of a human iris within a multi modal biometric system that combines hard biometrics such as fingerprint and iris texture. Steerable pyramid filters and multi-channel log-Gabor filters are suggested here for extracting proper features of the fingerprints and iris textures respectively. Experimental results, considering two different fusion strategies, have shown a significant improvement in the performance compared to the results of the standalone combined fingerprint and iris matchers.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

From the simulation results, the proposed circuit can demonstrate both speed enhancement about 20% in pull-up operation and 50% saving in area.

We compare the iterative algorithms found in one-dimensional LUT, namely the polar, secant and linear methods, on the convergence time with and without demodulator errors in the feedback path of the ADP. Simulation shows that the secant method, although it has the fastest convergence, is sensitive to changes in demodulator errors, which could be corrected by adding an adaptation factor to its formula. The polar method is the least sensitive out of the three to demodulator errors, followed by the linear method.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

Simulation results indicated that a designed LSI has swarm intelligence due to pheromone communication.

This paper presents an improved technique called EXL/sub IT/ to rectify multiple logic design errors using LUT-based circuit model, which is needed to rectify errors with compound cells often used in standard-cell design. In contrast to the conventional technique: EXL/sub TV/ applicable only to four errors at the maximum, EXL/sub IT/ rectifies ten errors by employing iterative diagnosis procedure for subcircuits extracted based on the correctness of primary output functions. By handling the subcircuits, EXL/sub IT/ reduces both the number of LUT's and the number of errors to be considered at once. Experimental results demonstrate that most of circuits including eight to ten design errors can be rectified within shorter processing time.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

These differences are analyzed through harmonic balance simulation of an idealized device model. A compensation technique is suggested to achieve an expected harmonic output with a more practical circuit configuration. Finally, the effects exhibited in the idealized device model are shown to occur in a practical device model and in actual measured results.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.
