Bird strike analysis on a typical helicopter windshield with different lay-ups
( Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers , 2014 , Article)In the current paper, bird strike to a typical helicopter windshield is investigated using smoothed particles hydrodynamic (SPH) finite element method. Five types of lay-ups in a windshield (single layer stretch acrylic, ... -
BIRD-VNE: Backtrack-avoidance virtual network embedding in polynomial time
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference Paper)The virtual network embedding (VNE) problem is known to be NP-hard, and as a result, several heuristic approaches have been proposed to solve it. These heuristics find sub-optimal solutions in polynomial time, but have ... -
Blind deconvolution and retinal abnormality detection in blurred retinal images
( American Scientific Publishers , 2011 , Article)In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging; both regular as well as Fluorescein Angiography. While in most of the cases, the image produced is quite clean and ... -
Blind Deconvolution for retinal image enhancement
( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging. One of the main steps in inspecting the eye (especially the deeper image of retina) is to look into the eye using a ... -
Blind ECG Restoration by Operational Cycle-GANs
( IEEE Computer Society , 2022 , Article)Objective: ECG recordings often suffer from a set of artifacts with varying types, severities, and durations, and this makes an accurate diagnosis by machines or medical doctors difficult and unreliable. Numerous studies ... -
