ABSTRACT Development of new imaging sensors arise the need for image processing techniques that can effectively fuse images from different sensors into a single coherent composition for interpretation. In order to make use of inherent redundancy and extended coverage of multiple sensors, we

network faces and the security goals to be achieved. We identify the new challenges and opportunities posed by this new networking environment and explore new approaches to secure its communication. In particular, we take advantage of the inherent redundancy in ad hoc networks — multiple routes between

complete image description in terms of locally windowed 2-D spectral coordinates embedded within global 2-D spatial coordinates. Because intrinsic redundancies within images are extracted, the resulting image codes can be very compact. However, these conjoint transforms are inherently difficult to compute

Abstract. A robust structural damage detection method that can handle noisy frequency response function information is discussed. The inherent unstructured nature of damage detection problems is exploited by applying an implicit redundant representation (IRR) genetic algorithm. The unbraced frame

find exploiting program’s inherent redundancy can better trade off between reliability, performance, and hard-ware cost. This work proposes two approaches to enhance program reliability. The first approach investigates the additional fault resilience at the application level. We explore program

contaminants in the manufacturing process and increasing chip complexity. This paper proposes to use the inherent redundancy available in existing and future chip microarchitectures to improve yield and enable graceful performance degradation in fail-in-place systems. We introduce a new yield metric called

Massive redundancy is expensive, increasing significantly the cost of crowdsourced solutions. Therefore, we need techniques that will accurately estimate the quality

A new approach is proposed that exploits repetition inherent in programs to provide low-overhead transient fault protection in a processor. Programs repeatedly execute the same instructions within close time periods. This can be viewed as a time redundant re-execution of a program, except

When the inherent redundancy of the genetic code was discovered, scientists were rightly puzzled by the role of synonymous mutations 1 . The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that synonymous mutations -those that do not alter the encoded amino acid -will have no effect on the resulting
