Abstract

Image Processing (IP) applications have become popular with the advent of efficient algorithms and low-cost CMOS cameras with high resolution. However, IP applications are compute-intensive, consume a lot of energy and have long processing times. Image approximation has been proposed [...]

Abstract

Major accidents may cause both direct damages to the exposed population and damage to the environment, indirectly affecting the population by the contamination of land, surface water and groundwater. A wide attention was paid to date to the assessment of the direct risk for the population [...]
