The discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT)
algorithm is widely used in many image compression systems. The time-consuming …

Pavement assessment is a crucial process for the maintenance of municipal roads.
However, the detection of pavement distress is usually performed either manually or offline …

To ensure traffic safety, pavement conditions should be evaluated and distress (cracks,
potholes, etc.) should be timely detected. In recent years, methods based on the analysis of …

In this study, to improve the speed of the lifting-based discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for
large-scale data, we propose a parallel method that achieves low memory usage and highly …

This paper presents a webcam-based spherical coordinate conversion system using
OpenCL massive parallel computing for panorama video image stitching. With multi-core …

Three-dimensional curve skeletons are a very compact representation of three-dimensional
objects with many uses and applications in fields such as computer graphics, computer …

A wavelet based multi-level adaptive unsharp masking technique for image sharpening is
proposed. It does sharpening at multiple levels of DWT with a small and fixed size Gaussian …

The growth of 3D rendering and gaming requirements makes integration of CPU and GPUs
more popular. This heterogeneous integration also leads to difficulty in programming …

In recent years, the automotive industry has developed as one of the mostprospering sectors
worldwide. Emerging technologies, such as autonomous driving and connectivity are …

Parallel high-performance computing technologies have encountered tremendous growth,
