A general scheme for finding the static rate–distortion optimized ordering for the bits of the coefficients of all subbands of an N-level dyadic biorthogonal DWT
Elsevier (2018)The expected distortion decrease per bit attained by conveying the significance and refinement information of transform coefficients is derived taking into consideration their Probability Distribution Function (PDF) and ... -
A gripper for delicate edible manipulation
Elsevier (2023-09-25)The general manipulation of delicate edible products requires of specific grippers able to firmly grasp these kind of products without damaging them. To address this problem we follow a soft and variable-stiffness approach. ...

A Meta-model for the Guideline Definition Language
SciTePress (2021-7-6)Computer-Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs) are a key issue to implement decision support systems that could help clinical practice. To represent these guidelines numerous modeling languages, such as PROforma, Asbru, or GLIF, ...
-
A mixed-precision algorithm for the solution of Lyapunov equations on hybrid CPU–GPU platforms
Elsevier (2011)We describe a hybrid Lyapunov solver based on the matrix sign function, where the intensive parts of the computation are accelerated using a graphics processor (GPU) while executing the remaining operations on a general-purpose ...

A model for colour naming and comparing based on conceptual neighbourhood. An application for comparing art compositions
Elsevier (2015)A computational model for Qualitative Colour Description, named the QCD model, is defined using the Hue, Saturation and Luminance colour space. This model can name rainbow colours, pale, light and dark colours, and colours ...
-
A model for the qualitative description of images based on visual and spatial features
Elsevier (2012-06)An approach that provides a qualitative description of any image is presented in this paper. The main visual features (shape and colour) and the main spatial features (fixed orientation, relative orientation and topology) ...
-
A Model of Artificial Genotype and Norm of Reaction in a Robotic System
Springer (2016-08-10)The genes of living organisms serve as large stores of information for replicating their behavior and morphology over generations. The evolutionary view of genetics that has inspired artificial systems with a Mendelian ...
-
A model-driven transformation approach for the modelling of processes in clinical practice guidelines
Elsevier (2023)Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) include recommendations aimed at optimising patient care, informed by a review of the available clinical evidence. To achieve their potential benefits, CPG should be readily available at ...
