Jim Jarmusch's unease at a fast, connected world is telling, and finds its resolution in its consideration of Paterson's titular hero, who stands as a true male, a zen man of letters, a sort of John Clare of New Jersey.
The algorithm in [5], as an acknowledged fast connected components labeling algorithm, is selected for comparison; and running time is the key measurement in the experiment.
Due to the demand for real-time processing in real-time automatic target recognition (RTATR) systems, fast connected components analysis (CCA) is significant to RTATR performance improvement.
Existing fast connected components labeling (CCL) algorithm can be divided into two classes: (a) label-equivalence-based algorithms [1 4] and (b) region-growing-based algorithms [5].
Specifically, the MCS algorithm used in this study was the fast connected MCS algorithm fMCS, as implemented in RDKit (see http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2012/05/13/fmcs.html and http://rdkit.org/Python_Docs/rdkit.Chem.fmcs.fmcs%27-pysrc.html).
Because of the way every industry — from health care to manufacturing to education — is now being transformed by cheap, fast, connected computing power, the skill required for every decent job is rising as is the necessity of lifelong learning.
