An algorithm is proposed which tackles the problem in minimum time and creates the least perturbation to the original layout, preserving performance. The algorithm aims at automatic adjustment of layout due to minor change on logic design. As a result, the designer need not re-execute the whole placement process or manually correct the placement. Using dynamic variables to form the database, it is more efficient to implement the algorithm. Results and computation time of the algorithm are also found advantageous.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"850-853 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78883093","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}

Since the comparison among the inputs is performed on one common signal line, the circuit can be easily extended to a larger dimension with that common signal line connected throughout the entire circuit. The new high-speed analog winner-take-all circuit can be extended linearly to at least 1024 inputs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"344-347 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91553844","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}

From the relations between entries of the block pulse operational matrices, simple regression equations corresponding to the original differential equation models with time-varying parameters can be obtained, and algorithms developed in discrete-time model identification can be applied directly to estimate the time-varying parameters of the continuous models without much modification. Compared with other methods for solving the same identification problem, no analog devices, no large computations in the data preparation stage, and no initial values are involved in this new method. Therefore, the estimation procedure is much simpler. Owing to the block pulse regression equations, the proposed recursive method is suitable for online identification of continuous time-varying linear systems from their sampled input and output data by means of digital computers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"436-439 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90162394","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}

Most of these algorithms are designed to operate on high-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) images (typical of optical and infrared images). The applicability of these algorithms to estimation for low-SNR images (typical of radar and sonar images) is addressed. Motion analysis algorithms can be segregated into two major categories: optical flow and feature-based algorithms. The effects of noise on the performance of a number of optical-flow-based algorithms are evaluated using Monte Carlo computer simulation on a set of standardized image sequences. The effects of feature coordinate perturbations on the performance of a feature-based algorithm are evaluated using Monte Carlo computer simulation. The 1-D FFT (fast Fourier transform) algorithm was found to yield the best results in the presence of noise. This algorithm is simple but has difficulty when multiple moving objects are present in the scene.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"44 1","pages":"158-161 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79202710","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}
