We consider a distributed detection system formed by a large number of local detectors and a fusion center that performs a Neyman-Pearson fusion of the binary quantizations of the sensor observations. The aforementioned local decisions are taken with no kind of cooperation and transmitted to the fusion center over error free parallel access channels. Furthermore, the devices are located on a rectangular lattice so that sensors belonging to a specific row or column are equally spaced. For each hypothesis H-0 and H-1, the correlation structure of the local decisions is modelled with a two-dimensional causal field where the rows and columns are outcomes of the same first-order binary Markov chain. Under this scenario, we derive a closed-form error exponent for the Neyman-Pearson fusion of the local decisions. Afterwards, using the derived error exponent we study the effect of different design parameters of the network on its overall detection performance.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality that allows the detection of tissue with particular properties or the observation of metabolic processes in living organisms over time. It plays a vital role in cancer diagnosis and heart examination and represents a promising method for early diagnosis of dementia. With the advancement of scanner technology as well as an ever increasing demand for higher quality images and higher patient throughput the image reconstruction system can become a bottleneck of a PET system. To meet this demand for more computing power in the reconstruction system a novel way to speed up the image reconstruction process for modern PET systems is presented. A common graphics processing device in conjunction with the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is used to speed up existing algorithms for the CPU. Projectors for full 3D reconstruction are ported to the CUDA device and new algorithms are implemented where necessary. The main focus of this port is to speed up the calculation and to maintain the numerical accuracy of the result. On the basis of the CPU reconstruction system a new system that uses GPU projectors is implemented. With this modification a two-fold speed up is achieved compared to the highly optimized CPU implementation running on 4 CPU cores. Different optimization methods are explored and applied where suitable. The results calculated by GPU and CPU projectors are numerically identical allowing them to be interchanged. The system is validated and the algorithms are integrated into the reconstruction system of Siemens Healthcare Molecular Imaging PET scanners.

In this paper, an efficient hardware architecture of Sample Important Resample Particle Filter (SIRF) is presented. This architecture carries out the sampling, weighting, and output calculations steps concurrently. The resampling step is implemented in a massively parallel form. For weight computation step, piecewise linear function is used instead of the classical exponential function. This decreases the complexity of the architecture without degrading the results. The presented architecture allows efficient memory utilization in addition to resource saving. Synthesis results confirmed the resource reduction and speed up advantages of our design. The hardware implementation targeted an Enhanced PF for object tracking application. FPGA is used as the implementation hardware platform.

The paper presents the electro-optical design of an interferometric inspection system for massive parallel inspection of Micro(Opto) ElectroMechanicalSystems (M(O)EMS). The basic idea is to adapt a micro-optical probing wafer to the M(O)EMS wafer under test. The probing wafer is exchangeable and contains a micro-optical interferometer array: a low coherent interferometer (LCI) array based on a Mirau configuration and a laser interferometer (LI) array based on a Twyman-Green configuration. The interference signals are generated in the micro-optical interferometers and are applied for M(O)EMS shape and deformation measurements by means of LCI and for M(O)EMS vibration analysis (the resonance frequency and spatial mode distribution) by means of LI. distributed array of 5x5 smart pixel imagers detects the interferometric signals. The signal processing is based on the "on pixel" processing capacity of the smart pixel camera array, which can be utilised for phase shifting, signal demodulation or envelope maximum determination. Each micro-interferometer image is detected by the 140 x 146 pixels sub-array distributed in the imaging plane. In the paper the architecture of cameras with smart-pixel approach are described and their application for massive parallel electro-optical detection and data reduction is discussed. The full data processing paths for laser interferometer and low coherent interferometer are presented.

This paper presents an application of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) operations in image encryption and decryption. The encrypted cipher images always display the uniformly distributed RGB pixels. It looks like the noise of TV without signals. However, in some cases the ECB mode operation may appear a kind of pattern in the area related to the portion of the original image having the same color. The reason for the pattern generation and the four operation modes of CBC, CFB, OFB and CTR which have the features to eliminate the patterns are discussed, in terms of the degree of random noise in cipher image as well as the feasibility of parallel operation in cipher blocks for high speed processing.

This study describes the performance results on testing MatLab applications using the parallel computing and the distributed computing toolboxes under different platforms with different hardware and operating systems. Each trial was executed keeping the hardware fixed and changing the operating system to obtain unbiased results. To standardize the benchmarking test, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), edge detection and matrix multiplication algorithms were executed. The results show that the leveraging of multicore platforms can speed up considerably the processing of images through the use of parallel computing tools in MatLab. Two different system hardware platforms (systems 1 and 2) were used in a series of experiments. Four rounds of experiments were performed benchmarking the FFT algorithm using the parallel tool box, by changing system platform, number of workers, image size and number of images. The results of the ANOVA test suggest that although there is no statistical significance on the factor represented by the operating system (OS) on system 1, the OS plays a significant roll on system 2. Moreover, on both systems there is statistical significance on the factors represented by the number of workers utilized and the number of images processed, yielding more than a 500% performance increase by using 8 MatLab workers on a dual quad-core machine.
