Unsupervised Segmentation of Stereoscopic Video Objects: Constrained Segmentation Fusion Versus Greedy Active Contours

In this paper, we present a novel memory access reduction scheme (MARS) for two-dimension fast cosine transform (2-D FCT). It targets programmable DSPs with high memory-access latency. It reduces the number of memory accesses by: 1) reducing the number of weighting factors and 2) combining butterflies in vector-radix 2-D FCT pruning diagram from two stages to one stage with an efficient structure. Hardware platform based on general purpose processor is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method for vector-radix 2-D FCT pruning implementation. Experimental results validate the benefits of the proposed method with reduced memory access, less clock cycle and fewer memory space compared with the conventional implementation.     

坚持节水优先 建设幸福河湖——写在2020年世界水日和中国水周之际

3月22日是第二十八届“世界水日”,第三十三届“中国水周”的宣传活动也同时拉开帷幕。联合国确定今年“世界水日”的宣传主题是“水与气候变化”,我国纪念“世界水日”和开展“中国水周”活动的宣传主题是“坚持节水优先,建设幸福河湖”。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视水利工作。习近平总书记多次就治水发表重要讲话、作出重要指示,明确提出“节水优先、空间均衡、系统治理、两手发力”的治水思路,对长江经济带共抓大保护、不搞大开发,黄河流域共同抓好大保护、协同推进大治理等作出重要部署,发出了建设造福人民的幸福河的伟大号召,为推进新时代治水提供了科学指南和根本遵循。
