With an ever-increasing usage of electronic controllers in various disciplines that could be attributed to Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT) and quick shift in computational paradigms, a demand for high code density and faster controllers are expected at the diversified nodes that improve energy efficiency without performance penalty. RISC-v is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) which is designed with modularized extensions, that enables to design processors with a provision of individual extension evaluation helping in the design of low-power and secure embedded controllers. Bit manipulation is one of the key operations performed in domains such as Cryptography, Communication and Networking protocols, Digital Signal processing, Bioinformatics etc., which are currently implemented using RISC-v standard instruction set. This paper implements the `B' extension of RISC-v that hosts instructions specific to operate at bit-level manipulations, which is absent in ratified unprivileged ISA manual. A quantitative analysis is performed to assess the impact of Bit Manipulative Instructions (BMI) in size and speed improvements using the Embench ™ benchmarks against the standard instruction set `IMAC' under the Rv32 configuration. The results show significant improvements, with some programs achieving a speedup of 28 % and size reduction of 20 %.

We present a novel single-chip thermopile sensor array for mid-infrared room temperature imaging. The array is fabricated on a single complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) dielectric membrane, composed of single-crystal silicon (Si) p(+) and n(+) elements, and standard CMOS tungsten metal layers for thermopile cold junction heatsinking, significantly reducing the chip size and simplifying its processing. We demonstrate a 16 x 16 pixel device with 34 v/W responsivity and enhanced optical absorption in the 8-14 mu m waveband, with a suitable performance for gesture recognition and people-counting applications. Our simple, low-cost sensor is an attractive on-chip array for a variety of applications in the mid-infrared spectral region. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America

Biometrics is one of the domain that is gaining lot of importance in the present digital industry. Biometrics are getting integrated in different devices and reaching the end users at a very affordable cost. Among various biometric traits, Sclera is one such trait that is getting popular in the research community for its distinct nature of authenticating and identification of individuals. The recognition system using sclera trait purely depends on efficient segmentation of sclera image. Segmentation process is considered to be significant in imageprocessing system because of better visualization. The segmentation can be done using region based, edge based, threshold based and also clustering based techniques. This paper concentrates on clustering based technique by proposing a variant of conventional Fuzzy C Means (FCM) algorithm. Though the Fuzzy C Means presents outstanding results in many applications, unfortunately it is sensitive to noise and ignore neighbourhood information. Thus to alleviate these limitations this paper presents Generalized Spatial Kernel Fuzzy C Means (GSK-FCM) clustering algorithms for sclera segmentation. To evaluate the proposed methods, experimentation are conducted on Sclera Segmentation and Recognition Benchmarking Competition (SSRBC 2015) dataset. The result of the experiments reveals that the proposed methods outperform the other variants of FCM.

In vision-driven Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) where cameras play a vital role, accurate detection and re-identification of vehicles are fundamental demands. Hence, recent approaches have employed a wide range of algorithms to provide the best possible accuracy. These methods commonly generate a vehicle detection model based on its visual appearance features such as license plate, headlights, or some other distinguishable specifications. Among different object detection approaches, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have the advantage of magnificent detection accuracy in case a huge amount of training data is provided. In this paper, a robust approach for license plate detection (LPD) based on YOLO v.3 is proposed which takes advantage of high detection accuracy and real-time performance. The mentioned approach can detect the license plate location of vehicles as a general representation of vehicle presence in images. To train the model, a dataset of vehicle images with Iranian license plates has been generated by the authors and augmented to provide a wider range of data for test and train purposes. It should be mentioned that the proposed method can detect the license plate area as an indicator of vehicle presence with no Optical Character Recognition (OCR) algorithm to distinguish characters inside the license plate. Experimental results have shown the high performance of the system with a precision 0.979 and recall 0.972.

One of the common diseases related to cancer which have high rate is lung cancer, which is largely due to the slow capture of the malignant tumor. Again, the commonly used methods for diagnosing lung cancer have several drawbacks. Despite the effectivity of computed tomography of identifying this malignancy, the need for radiologists to process vast amounts of data not only makes their job more difficult but can also delay the detection of lung cancer in time enough for treatment to begin. In this context, computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems were developed. A convolutional neural network is one of the ways that can be used to describe an alternate method of applying a set of deep learning algorithms with filtering. These algorithms can be learned by performing local pooling operations on CT images in order to generate a set of hierarchical complicated functions. The convolutional neural network is the method that is considered to be the most effective. In order to properly segment lung nodules, one stage that cannot be skipped while attempting to design a reliable system for detection called for the application of data-driven methodologies. This stage is essential. Lung nodule identification has been effectively achieved using models and variants of convolutional neural networks. Since it has been utilized in the medical sector for some time, the 2D Convolution layer has demonstrated both many strengths and numerous limitations. The 3D model is currently rapidly gaining popularity as it addresses these shortcomings and improves the convolutional neural network’s detection skills. The accuracy and specificity of 3D models were already found to be high for lung nodule detection, implementing a a 3D model for the medical industry can be challenging due to time requirements, training difficulties, and hardware memory requirements. See this study for developments in the use of a 3D CNN model for lung cancer diagnosis.

Yarn quality control is a crucial step in producing high quality textile end products. Online yarn testing can reduce latency in necessary process control by providing rapid insights into yarn quality, leading to pro-duction of superior quality yarns. However, both widely used capacitance based evenness testers and emerging imaging based evenness testing systems are largely offline in operation (i.e. a posteriori). A suitable online system that could be employed to test quality of a variety of yarns in normal industrial processing conditions does not yet exist. In this study, we propose an online evenness testing system for measurement of a certain type of yarn defect called nep by using imaging and computer vision techniques. The developed system directly captures yarn images on a spinning frame and uses viola-Jones object detection algorithm for real-time detection of nep defects. The validation of nep detection algorithms and comparison of the new method with an existing evenness tester in terms of nep count demonstrated its reasonable defect detection accuracy and promising potential for application in wider yarn spinning industry.
