Color accuracy is crucial in several domains such as biomedical imaging, cosmetics, and multimedia. Digital Light processing (DLP) with LEDs has increasingly become a popular lighting source in 3D scanning systems. Although DLP provides advantages in 3D reconstruction, it poses challenges in maintaining color accuracy. Our research focused on using hybrid lighting to improve the color accuracy of DLP-based 3D sensing systems. We developed an empirical dataset featuring skin tones captured under multiple lighting environments, including variations in indoor ambient lighting. Through qualitative and quantitative evaluations of color differences, we conclude that including auxiliary lighting with DLP is beneficial for color accuracy, particularly in biomedical imaging and other applications in which color accuracy is essential.

Deep learning algorithms are robust to a small amount of noise in the input image. Traditionally, image signal processors (ISP) are used with the CMOS image sensor (CIS) to enhance image quality which consume additional energy and latency. Here, we evaluate an ISP-less CIS architecture in the presence of noise and other in-pixel circuit non-idealities for the autonomous driving application. By integrating the in-pixel processing circuits to CIS, we filter out the redundant frames and only pass the critical bit information downstream to the backend processor. Such in-pixel processing does not allow ISP operations to be applied to the captured raw image. To reflect these limitations, we model and apply circuit non-idealities to the regenerated artificial raw images as an input to the QDTrack network for multi-object tracking. We evaluate the accuracy loss on the BDD100K dataset and examine its sensitivity on each of the imageprocessing steps. We observe an overall accuracy drop of less than 1.2% in Identification F1-score (IDF1) and 2.1% in Multi-Object Tracking Accuracy (MOTA), suggesting that an ISP-less in-pixel processing circuit is feasible to reject 40% redundant frames directly on CIS.

Embedded systems typically require the transmission of significant amounts of data to small-scale CPUs for applications such as radar signal processing, imageprocessing, and embedded AI. Ensuring data integrity during transmission is typically managed using Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) algorithms. However, achieving real-time CRC calculation and data storage poses challenges, often necessitating large FIFO memories and multiple clock domains. These additional resources involve a greater hardware complexity. This paper presents an approach aimed at synchronizing the CPU frequency with data transmission. This enables having a single clock domain and a reduction of power consumption. Using hardware/software co-design, it is possible to achieve real-time data storage and CRC calculation without data loss and with a low power consumption.

Deep Neural Network (DNN) algorithms have become ubiquitous within the vision domain, encompassing various tasks, including object detection, segmentation, and classification. However, executing complex DNNs in real-time systems demands improved energy efficiency, runtime, and accuracy. Traditional embedded imaging designs, typically implemented on homogeneous architectures, face hardware limitations, prompting the need for heterogeneous computing architectures. These architectures combine CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators, enabling applications to use the most efficient architecture for a given algorithm. The challenge lies in scheduling and partitioning algorithms across accelerators with different computing paradigms and tool-sets. This requires balancing computational power, memory bandwidth, and communication overhead. Effective scheduling involves considering task dependencies, resource availability, and synchronisation. Current deep learning libraries often target single architectures and lack mechanisms to intelligently partition sub-operations across the most suitable processors. This paper introduces a scheduler for heterogeneous vision systems that finely partitions and maps sub-operations of convolutional neural networks and imageprocessingalgorithms. Leveraging state-of-the-art compiler frameworks such as PyTorch, TVM, and ONNX, the proposed scheduler optimally distributes tasks across heterogeneous components. Experimental results show that the heterogeneous platform achieves on average 1.12x & 1.08x improvements in kernel runtime and energy consumption, compared to the best-performing discrete hardware counterparts, GPU and FPGA. The study demonstrates that partitioning algorithms based on their runtime and energy properties and optimally scheduling them improves energy and runtime efficiency compared to homogeneous components executing the complete algorithm.

The field of image manipulation is dynamic, exploiting a range of algorithms to analyze, manipulate and enhance digital images. Our study focuses on a crucial application of imageprocessing, which is the elimination of blind Gaussian noise in order to improve image quality and facilitate image analysis by preserving essential details. In this research, we explore the use of different convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to tackle the problem of blind Gaussian noise, applying different noise levels, ranging from low to high. We present an in-depth comparative analysis of the three main CNN architectures: DnCNN, DRNet and RIDNet, highlighting the quantitative and qualitative experimental results of these different approaches. These methods have demonstrated remarkable performance in imageprocessing tasks, particularly denoising, using various techniques built into CNNs, such as batch normalization and residual learning. Our results show that these techniques bring significant improvements to all three CNN approaches, as evidenced by the remarkable performance observed in the experimental results. These findings underline the robustness of CNN architectures in the face of complex noise scenarios, such as the blind noise scenario addressed in our study.

Watermelon is a commonly cultivated fruit worldwide, especially in Southeast Asia. As one of the top exports in Asia, the commercialization of watermelon has its market. Its consumer appeal makes it one of the most sought-after fruits globally. With the watermelon fruit consisting of different varieties, consumers usually have difficulty in classifying watermelons due to their similar external appearances, especially when labeled under the same name. This study is conducted to implement a system that detects and classifies three red watermelon varieties, Red Export, Orchid Sweet, and Dixie Queen, with imageprocessingalgorithms. The researchers utilized Canny Edge Detection for the dataset's preprocessing phase and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for its classification. The Raspberry Pi is also applied to this study. Moreover, the researchers created and collected their datasets for testing and validation data. The model used in this study has acquired 84.71% overall accuracy.
