A circuit is viewed as a sentence, and its elements as words. Circuit structures are defined by a logic grammar called DCSG (definite clause set grammars), developed for analyzing free word-order language. A set of grammar rules itself forms a logic program which implements top-down parsing. Using the grammar rules, given circuits are decomposed into a parse tree. The parse tree shows hierarchical structures of functional blocks composing the circuits.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124077086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of signal processing algorithms has identified a number of common operators which can be implemented efficiently with VLSI technology. The integration of these operators into conventional workstation environments provides the potential for orders of magnitude performance improvements for large numbers of algorithms which are used in linear transform and linear algebra applications. A small set of preferred operators is defined and their implementation is discussed. Simulation results are used to predict the expected performance gains for some of the operators when used in a number of typical algorithms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129985567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Radon transform is used to take projections along parallel directions from two consecutive frames in a monocular image sequence while the camera is stationary. The method consists of two stages: motion detection; and identification of moving object areas in rectangular regions. Moving object area identification using this method is insensitive to sudden or gradual overall illumination changes in the sequence. The method has the capability to be implemented in real time by using pipeline architecture.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132684125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these systems are often highly mathematical, are difficult to understand and implement, and are also inflexible. Fuzzy logic was developed in the early to mid 1960s by Lotfi Zadeh as an alternative to these complex traditional computer control schemes. Zadeh saw fuzzy logic as a way to achieve process control by allowing a computer to manipulate abstract concepts in a fashion that is akin to the way humans achieve process control. Fuzzy logic allowed computer programs to be developed that combined the computer's strength of crunching numbers rapidly with a human's strength for manipulating abstract linguistic concepts.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126009329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
