Temporally consistent FastDVDNet: an overlap loss implementation for FastDVDNet
… artifacts remain after denoising. TempFormer, another video denoising model, recently created a solution that provides state of the art results for the minimization of flickering. After modification of FastDVDNet, the goal is a model with fast inference time, or time to denoise a frame, and …

Implementation of a digital control system analysis program using the z-transform
… discusses the development and application of a computer program which utilizes the z-transform in the analysis of univariate, linear, time-invariant discrete control systems. The analysis approach used in this project is termed "outside- in", since it begins with known output and input signals, …

Neural Decomposition of Time-Series Data for Effective Generalization
… functions to capture linear trends and other nonperiodic components. We show how careful weight initialization can be combined with regularization to form a simple model that generalizes well. Our method generalizes effectively on the Mackey-Glass series, a dataset of unemployment rates …

A study of using backpropagation and a new neural net algorithm for edge detecting in binary images
<p>Computer image processing often involves three processing stages : 1. detecting and extracting edges from the input image, 2. connecting the detected edges to form objects, 3. using information about the objects to construct and understand a scene. Edge detecting is an important processing …
