We present a particle filter construction for a system that exhibits
time-scale separation. The separation of time-scales allows two simplifications
that we exploit: i) The use of the averaging principle for the
dimensional reduction of the system needed to solve for each particle
and ii) the factorization of the transition probability which allows the
Rao-Blackwellization of the filtering step. Both simplifications can be
implemented using the coarse projective integration framework. The
resulting particle filter is faster and has smaller variance than the particle
filter based on the original system. The convergence of the new
particle filter to the analytical filter for the original system is proved
and some numerical results are provided.
The problem of image registration subsumes a number of problems and techniques in multiframe
image analysis, including the computation of optic flow (general pixel-based motion), stereo
correspondence, structure from motion, and feature tracking. We present a new registration
algorithm based on spline representations of the displacement field which can be specialized to
solve all of the above mentioned problems. In particular, we show how to compute local flow,
global (parametric) flow, rigid flow resulting from camera egomotion, and multiframe versions of
the above problems. Using a spline-based description of the flow removes the need for overlapping
correlation windows, and produces an explicit measure of the correlation between adjacent flow
estimates. We demonstrate our algorithm on multiframe image registration and the recovery of 3D
projective scene geometry. We also provide results on a number of standard motion sequences.
FIST可堆疊文件系統，linux文件系統修改相關的開源軟件，使得對linux文件系統功能的改進很簡單了
The FiST (File System Translator) system combines two methods to solve the above problems in a novel way: a set of stackable file system templates for each operating system, and a high-level language that can describe stackable file systems in a cross-platform portable fashion. Using FiST, stackable file systems need only be described once. FiST s code generation tool, fistgen, compiles a single file system description into loadable kernel modules for several operating systems (currently Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD). The project demonstrates that with FiST, code size and development time are reduced significantly, while imposing a small performance overhead of only 1-2％. These benefits are achieved, as well as portability, without changing existing operating systems or file system.
Solving Engineering Problems Using MATLAB C++ Math Library Introduction
In the previous article, we studied how can use MATLAB C API to solve engineering problems. In this article I will show you how can use MATLAB C++ math library. The MATLAB® C++ Math Library serves two separate constituencies: MATLAB programmers seeking more speed or complete independence from interpreted MATLAB, and C++ programmers who need a fast, easy-to-use matrix math library. To each, it offers distinct advantages.
As all of you know, MATLAB is a powerful engineering language. Because of some limitation, some tasks take very long time to proceed. Also MATLAB is an interpreter not a compiler. For this reason, executing a MATLAB program (m file) is time consuming. For solving this problem, Mathworks provides us C Math Library or in common language, MATLAB API. A developer can employ these APIs to solve engineering problems very fast and easy. This article is about how can use these APIs.
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform
In recent years, the UNIX operating system has seen a huge boost in its popularity, especially with the
emergence of Linux. For programmers and users of UNIX, this comes as no surprise: UNIX was designed to
provide an environment that s powerful yet easy to use.
One of the main strengths of UNIX is that it comes with a large collection of standard programs. These
programs perform a wide variety of tasks from listing your files to reading email. Unlike other operating
systems, one of the key features of UNIX is that these programs can be combined to perform complicated
tasks and solve your problems.
One of the most powerful standard programs available in UNIX is the shell. The shell is a program that
provides you with a consistent and easy-to-use environment for executing programs in UNIX. If you have
ever used a UNIX system, you have interacted with the shell.
Just what is a regular expression, anyway?
Take the tutorial to get the long answer. The short answer is that a regular expression
is a compact way of describing complex patterns in texts. You can use them to search
for patterns and, once found, to modify the patterns in complex ways. You can also use
them to launch programmatic actions that depend on patterns.
A tongue-in-cheek comment by programmers is worth thinking about: "Sometimes you
have a programming problem and it seems like the best solution is to use regular
expressions now you have two problems." Regular expressions are amazingly
powerful and deeply expressive. That is the very reason writing them is just as
error-prone as writing any other complex programming code. It is always better to
solve a genuinely simple problem in a simple way when you go beyond simple, think
about regular expressions.

三維矢量有限元-矩量法電磁場分析程序。
EMAP5 is a full-wave electromagnetic field solver that combines the method of moments (MOM) with a vector finite element method (VFEM). It employs the finite element method (FEM) to analyze a dielectric volume, and employs the method of moments (MoM) to solve for currents on the surface of (or external to) this volume. The two methods are coupled through the fields on the dielectric surface.
