Performance of a data center is a function of three features; bandwidth, latency, and reliability. By adopting optical technology in data center network, bandwidth increment, in addition to reduction of transmission latency and power consumption, is achieved. Unfortunately, fault tolerance of the optical networks has raised less attention so far. So in this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant, scalable, and high-performance optical architecture built upon previously proposed O-TF network, with the goal of redundancy optimization and reducing the minimum number of wavelength channels required for non-blocking functionality of the network. Moreover, reducing network diameter, in O-FTF network... 

This paper presents a novel and fast homography-based tracking method to segment and track the instructor placed in front of a class board using two synchronized views. In the proposed method we estimate the instructor as a planar object and track its planar parameters. At first, the homography of board and fundamental geometry of two views are extracted using six point correspondences. The homography transformation matrix of object is calculated by obtaining three point correspondences in parallax region introduced with homography of the board. The parameters to be tracked by Kalman filter are obtained frame by frame by object's homography decomposition. Our proposed method is robust... 

The need for supporting the ever-growing number of multi-computers in the contemporary Internet has persuaded researches worldwide to search for suitable underlying network topologies with desirable properties. Even in the presence of speedy optical technologies, the arrangement of nodes in a network can be highly influential. Among all the topologies investigated so far, k -ary n-cubes have been reported to be widely adopted in the literature. But in hybrid networks, where the network is composed of a mixture of different types of topologies, the type and size of k-ary n-cubes can greatly affect the performance factor of the network. In this paper, we study and compare the performance...
