Modern signalprocessing methods are typically quite complex, and a great deal of expertise is needed in selecting and using appropriate methods for an application. Since most users have little signalprocessing experience, the expertise of the signalprocessing specialist needs to be made more accessible to them. This can be done by means of knowledge-based systems developed using dedicated AI tools for signalprocessing, as proposed in this paper. We first discuss the types of knowledge and reasoning involved in SP problem-solving, and based on this, we propose an AI architecture which facilitates the expression of knowledge at the level of the SP specialist. SP methods are represented as operators, and grouped according to the SP goals they perform. processing is initiated by means of requests, which ask for a particular goal to be affected on a given data set. Two types of reasoning, planning and supervision, are required for the processing, and mechanisms for them are provided. The paper describes how a knowledge based system can be built using the proposed architecture, and how a given SP problem is solved by the KBS.

Modern innovative applications like machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, multi-gigabit data networks, extensive sensor networks or data acquisition and big data analytics require an enormous amount of processing power and bandwidth. The traditional approach to deploy a processing and transmission infrastructure by cascading multicore CPUs, using offload engines and GPU cores is usually expensive and not always practical, thus building an obstacle in front of creative and innovative applications. The use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in combination with a sophisticated design methodology has proven to overcome many of the usual obstacles. This paper gives an overview of innovative approaches in digital hardware design. The described approaches will be reflected by specific design examples of challenging applications.

This paper introduces the detection principle of Gas-Insulated Switchgear(GIS) ultrasonic testing method for the fault location of flashover. We designed the GIS flashover fault location monitoring system, which solved the problem of low precision and time-consuming for the detection of GIS. We designed the hardware and software of the monitoring system. We use the three op amp differential amplifier circuit in front processing circuit of the hardware part to suppress the common mode signal in the signals. When the signal is processed by software, the method of wavelet soft and hard threshold is designed to remove the noise in the signal and improve the signal to noise ratio. We achieve the task of wireless data transmission through the Zig Bee2007 Proprotocol stack. Experimental platform is built to verify the reliability of the GIS flashover fault location system, which can improve the positioning accuracy and fault location, and has the advantages of low cost, portability and so on.

This work introduces a mobile application for moisture content evaluation aimed at road-surfaces monitoring. Our application exploits Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) image and dataprocessing in real-time on Android platforms. GPR is one of the most advanced technology in civil engineering applications for road pavement monitoring, while water intrusion in structural layers is one of the most relevant causes of damage of road-surfaces. The novelty of this work (that is the power of our application) is to show the consistency of the GPR diagnosis regarding these hidden conditions, implementing GPR image and dataprocessing on smartphones and tablet computers.

Although neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been successfully applied to many domains, there have not found many radar applications mainly due to a paucity of available training data. Focusing on fixed-site radars, this work uses in-situ collected data to train a CNN classifier and suppress clutter components that allow targets to "hide in plain sight." This paper describes a software and hardware co-design approach for implementing a neural network to improve radar signalprocessing. At the algorithm level, we propose using the ResNet10 model structure and other optimizations trained using the angle-Doppler spectrum of returns at each range. The FPGA implementation is then carefully optimized to better tradeoff performance and energy efficiency. Experimental results show our approach achieves better performance than conventional methods and exceed the requirement by more than 2.5x. Meanwhile our energy consumption is much lower than other platforms like GPU. Our optimization methods can be applied to other CNN structures for efficiency improvement.

Scannerless Earley Virtual Machines (SEVM) is a new generalized context-free parsing method, in which grammars are internally encoded using a special instruction intermediate language. In this paper we show how just-in-time compilation can be used to translate intermediate form grammars into native machine code to achieve improved parsing performance. We also present an efficient method for lexical disambiguation, which additionally enables to significantly reduce the amount of code that needs to be just-in-time compiled. Finally, we compare our implementation of SEVM with other parser implementations and show that our parser provides acceptable performance for analysing real-world computer languages.

Kinship verification from faces is a challenging task that is attracting an increasing attention in the recent years. The proposed methods so far are not robust enough to predict the kin between persons via facial appearance only. The initial studies using deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have not shown their full potential as well, mainly due to limited training data. To mitigate this problem, we propose a new approach to kinship verification based on color features and extreme learning machines (ELM). While ELM aims to deal with small size training sets, color features are proven to provide significant enhancement over gray-scale counterparts. We evaluate our proposed method on three benchmark and publicly available kinship databases, namely KinFaceW-I, KinFaceW-II and TSKinFace. The obtained results compares favorably against some state-of-the-art methods including those based on deep learning.
