An important element of the modern automated control systems, monitoring and remote access is to obtain primary information about the state and behavior of static or moving objects. To obtain such information we propose to use photo and video detectors, which could provide images of objects with high resolution in the system. Thus, the possibility of determining the geometric and kinematic parameters of the moving object are significantly reduced because of the different aspects of producing an image, one of these aspects is the blur. The geometric parameters of the object are determined by analyzing the blur of its images obtained at different settings of the photodetector. In this paper, algorithms of processing of primary information are improved by the use of methods and procedures of statistical analysis and probabilistic approach. It increases the accuracy of determined characteristics, the applicability of procedures for the calculation of state parameters (size, shape, distance from observer) and behavior parameters of the object (speed and direction) and reduces the computational complexity of the final algorithm. The research allows not only determine the geometric parameters of the object, but also to evaluate their accuracy and to develop elements of the algorithm that can be used in real systems of video monitoring

During the last years, there has been a growing interest in systems related to the location of objects into three-dimensional environments and virtual reality applications. These systems, based on high-performance video-processing, have a big computational load, specially on image analysis phases. This work presents the process of HW-SW co-design and implementation of a positioning system. A methodology was applied in which the requirements and initial functionality was captured in UML-MARTE. After a high-level profiling of the system, an acceleration of most time-demanding stages is achieved by combining the hardware and software capabilities of Zynq platform targeting a low power embedded system. The performance obtained through hardware acceleration of critical parts of the application leads to a significant improvement in the throughput of the whole system. On the other hand, the presented work can also be seen as a proof of concept of the followed methodology.
The problem of simple adaptive and robust control is studied for the case of parametric and dynamic dimension uncertainties: only the maximum possible relative degree of the plant model is known. The control approach ...

The comparison of the modern microwave screening systems is given in this paper in the aspect of employing mono-static or multi-static antenna configuration, with their numerical models described and applied in the presented numerical experiments. The phenomenological model of scattering from human body and foreign objects is used to obtain the radar signal, which is processed according to the given mono-static or multi-static signal processingalgorithms. The model of scattering objects is based on point scatterer approximation of their surfaces. The numerical simulations are performed for human body and foreign objects to obtain detailed radar images for mono-static and two multi-static antenna configurations at a single and multiple frequencies. According to the results of numerical simulations, the same quality of radar images, visually assessed by achievable plan view resolution and the level of artifacts, can be obtained by significantly lesser number of antenna elements in the case of multi-static antenna configuration. It was shown that extending the frequency band from 10 to 16 GHz substantially increases the contrast of the foreign objects placed over the human body.

image segmentation has an important role in many imageprocessing applications. Several methods exist for segmenting an image. However, this technique is still a relatively open topic for which various research works are regularly presented. With the recent developments on complex networks theory, image segmentation techniques based on graphs has considerably improved. In this paper, we present a new perspective of image segmentation, by applying three of the most efficient community detection algorithms, Louvain, infomap and stability optimization based on the louvain algorithm, and we extract communities in which the highest modularity feature is achieved. After we show that this measure is invariant to non-structural change on image, which mean that the image segmentation is also invariant to rotation. Finally we evaluate the three proposed algorithms for Berkeley database images, and we show that our results can outperform other segmentation methods in terms of accuracy and can achieve much better segmentation results.

Multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) designs offer a lot of computational power assembled in a compact design. The computing power of MPSoCs can be further augmented by adding massively parallel processor arrays (MPPA) and specialized hardware with instruction-set extensions. On-chip MPPAs can be used to accelerate low-level image-processingalgorithms with massive inherent parallelism. However, the presence of multiple processing elements (PEs) with different characteristics raises issues related to programming and application mapping, among others. The conventional approach used for programming heterogeneous MPSoCs results in a static mapping of various parts of the application to different PE types, based on the nature of the algorithm and the structure of the PEs. Yet, such a mapping scheme independent of the instantaneous load on the PEs may lead to under-utilization of some type of PEs while overloading others. In this work, we investigate the benefits of using a heterogeneous MPSoC for accelerating various stages within a real-world image-processing algorithm for object-recognition. A case study demonstrates that a resource-aware programming model called Invasive Computing helps to improve the throughput and worst observed latency of the application program, by dynamically mapping applications to different types of PEs available on a heterogeneous MPSoC.

The four v's in Big data sets, volume, velocity, variety, and veracity, provides challenges in many different aspects of real-time systems. Out of these areas securing big data sets, reduction in processing time and communication bandwidth are of utmost importance. In this paper we adopt Compressive Sensing (CS) based framework to address all three issues. We implement compressive Sensing using Deterministic Random Matrix (DRM) on Artix-7 FPGA, and CS reconstruction using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm on virtex-7 FPGA. The results show that our implementations for CS sampling and reconstruction are 183x and 2.7x respectively faster when compared to previously published work. We also perform case study of two different applications i.e. multi-channel Seizure Detection and imageprocessing to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed CS-based framework. CS-based framework allows us to reduce communication transfers up to 75% while achieving satisfactory range of quality. The results show that our proposed framework is 290x faster and has 7.9x less resource utilization as compared to previously published AES based encryption.

We present two approaches to use unlabeled data to improve Sequence Learning with recurrent networks. The first approach is to predict what comes next in a sequence, which is a language model in NLP. The second approach is to use a sequence autoencoder, which reads the input sequence into a vector and predicts the input sequence again. These two algorithms can be used as a "pretraining" algorithm for a later supervised sequence learning algorithm. In other words, the parameters obtained from the pretraining step can then be used as a starting point for other supervised training models. In our experiments, we find that long short term memory recurrent networks after pretrained with the two approaches become more stable to train and generalize better. With pretraining, we were able to achieve strong performance in many classification tasks, such as text classification with IMDB, DBpedia or image recognition in CIFAR-10.

Results of denoising based on discrete cosine transform for a wide class of images corrupted by additive noise are obtained. Three types of noise are analyzed: additive white Gaussian noise and additive spatially correlated Gaussian noise with middle and high correlation levels. TID2013 image database and some additional images are taken as test images. Conventional DCT filter and BM3D are used as denoising techniques. Denoising efficiency is described by PSNR and PSNR-HvS-M metrics. Within hard-thresholding denoising mechanism, DCT-spectrum coefficient statistics are used to characterize images and, subsequently, denoising efficiency for them. Results of denoising efficiency are fitted for such statistics and efficient approximations are obtained. It is shown that the obtained approximations provide high accuracy of prediction of denoising efficiency.
