For this raison, it is necessary to master good quality fabric rolls from the looms. Typically, the fabric inspection is performed by a human controller that uses a display system and relies on personal knowledge. The objective of our work is to develop a system for the detection and classification of defects in a simple and efficient way using techniques of image processing. Therefore, we propose to provide an inspection process that aims to detect and classify defects in warp and weft using a computer program developed in Matlab that analyzes images of fabrics samples acquired using a flat scanner. All information about the weaving defects may be stored in a database dedicated to the quality management of fabrics.","PeriodicalId":390925,"journal":{"name":"2014 Information and Communication Technologies Innovation and Application (ICTIA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122181246","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}

Two main stages are followed by the proposed system: symbol recognition and symbol-arrangement analysis. A combination of different statistical features (Run length, central Zernike moments, Bi-level co-occurrence, etc.) and K∗, an instance-based classifier, have been used to achieve high accuracy for the recognition of mathematical symbols. We defined a set of replacement rules by a coordinate grammar to parse mathematical formulas. We used the coordinate grammar with emphasis on symbol recognizer as well as symbol arrangement analysis. Both ascending and descending parsing scheme, based on operator dominance, has been used to parse the formula. The proposed system provides output in MathML and achieves satisfactory results.","PeriodicalId":390925,"journal":{"name":"2014 Information and Communication Technologies Innovation and Application (ICTIA)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134182589","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}

Lately, increasing demands on availability, performance and reliability of Network on Chip connectivity are driving to offer Network connections with QoS guarantees efficiency. However, until now there is no standard method of the Quality of Service (QoS) measurement and less techniques have been used to provide its definition. Therefore researchers are looking for a projection of QoS on quantifiable space, since it is qualitative, subjective and not measurable. However, a few tentatives have studied QoS parameters estimation. Many applications in Networks on Chip (NoC) present a variable QoS parameters such as Packet Loss Rate (PLR), End-to-End Delay (EED) and Throughput (Thp). However, There are a few papers that have developed different method to modelize QoS in NoC. Their QoS presentation doesn't provide a multi-application parameters arbiter. The originality of our approach is based on a proposition of a QoS IP module in NoC architecture to improve network performances. We implement an extended approach of QoS metrics modeling for Network on Chip on multi-parameters and multi-applications environment. The QoS metrics model is based on QoS parameters such as PLR, EED and Thp for different applications. In this paper, we investigated into the problem of serving multi-applications with different levels of Quality of Service. To validate this work, a dynamic routing simulation for 4×4 mesh NoC behaviour under three different applications namely Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate (CBR), is considered. We propose a dynamic load balancing policy based on the principals of queuing theory to offer differentiated services to multiple concurrent applications using QoS metric measurement. The results have shown that QoS modeling approach improves load balancing on NoC and is easy to implement in hardware-software quantifiable representation. Thus, implementing a quantifiable representation of QoS can be used to provide a NoC services arbiter. QoS arbiter interacted with other routers to ensure flits flow and QoS modeling to provide a QoS value.","PeriodicalId":390925,"journal":{"name":"2014 Information and Communication Technologies Innovation and Application (ICTIA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128423109","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}
