Evaporation-induced flows in confined droplets of diluted aqueous NaCl solution

The flows in a naturally evaporating liquid droplet confined by two flat plates were investigated experimentally. A diluted sodium-chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution was used to form the confined droplets. The evaporation of water at the free surface of the droplet built up a concentration gradient inside the solution, which induced a natural...

Early termination algorithm for one-bit transform-based motion estimation using binomial distribution

One-bit transform (1BT)-based block motion estimation (ME) has been proposed to reduce the computational complexity by using Boolean exclusive-OR matching of one-bit representations of image frames. In this paper, a novel early termination algorithm for 1BT-based ME is proposed in order to decrease the calculations of the block distortion...
