There is increasing research and commercial interest in miniature on-body and implantable devices for continuous real-time biosignal monitoring. A key challenge in realizing this vision is in implementation of biosignal processingalgorithms with acceptably low energy consumption. In this article, we investigate implementation of the REACT algorithm for real-time epileptic seizure detection on a Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) based architecture. Computationally expensive biosignal processing tasks are offloaded from a conventional Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to the CGRA. The CGRA is designed to support low power biosignal processing by means of a systolic architecture, flexible interconnect and low resource usage. The CGRA architecture is shown to provide 38% and 60% improvements in energy consumption and in performance, respectively, for the REACT system, without the use of voltage scaling or increased clock frequency.

Estimator algorithms rely on assumed laser stripe image profile to determine its peek with sub-pixel accuracy. They depend on light intensity readings around the peak and are susceptible to noise and saturation. Noise and stripe intensity models are commonly used to synthesize and feed test data to estimator algorithms in order to evaluate their accuracy and robustness. For real-time 3D scanning applications estimator algorithms are expected to prefer less computationally demanding estimation techniques. Simple and accurate models of empirical noise and laser stripe profile could be used to improve testing and algorithms accuracy. Modular test setup for 3D scanning is utilized to project a laser stripe on the target with patterned surface. Laser stripe image is captured and processed to extract noise and surface pattern interference. Laser power modulation is used to generate series of captures with various stripe intensities. Captures are partitioned, analyzed and presented according to target surface properties and color channels. image noise interfering with sub-pixel peak detection is analyzed and noise model based on empirical data is proposed. Empirical laser stripe images are analyzed and novel simple laser stripe intensity profile model conforming to empirical data is proposed.

MeMoS (Medical Model Sketcher), a software package that provides data required to reconstruct 3D medical models, basing on DICOM and RAW image sets, is presented. The uttermost objective of the software creation was to reduce a time needed to perform laborious data extraction process from medical images (necessary for the model reconstruction), without the need of purchasing expensive licenses for already existing programs. Obtained data can be used in any CAD software to recreate the spatial object. Generated 3D models of vascular systems can be used in numerical simulations so as to investigate the physical phenomena occurring in the circulatory system. Additionally, MeMoS is capable of creating datasets for texture analysis -that can be directly fed to the input of texture analysis software. Several results of the possible program output along with preliminary validation of implemented algorithms are outlined as well.

Pedestrian segmentation in infrared images is a difficult problem for the defects of low SNR and inhomogeneous luminance distribution. In this paper, we propose a method which aims to obtain the accurate pedestrian segmentation through a background prior and boundary weight-based saliency. Background likelihood is firstly calculated as background prior to get an abstract representation for infrared pedestrian. Then, by considering the object-center prior, the object-biased Gaussian model is applied to derive the probability density estimation for pedestrians. Finally, the above two results are integrated with the boundary weight to obtain the final saliency map for infrared image, based on which pedestrians can be easily segmented. Experimental results on real infrared images captured by intelligent transportation systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach against the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Retinal image quality assessment (RIQA) is an essential step in automated screening systems to avoid misdiagnosis caused by processing poor quality retinal images. A no-reference transform-based RIQA algorithm is introduced that assesses images based on five clarity and content quality issues: sharpness, illumination, homogeneity, field definition, and content. Transform-based RIQA algorithms have the advantage of considering retinal structures while being computationally inexpensive. Wavelet-based features are proposed to evaluate the sharpness and overall illumination of the images. A retinal saturation channel is designed and used along with wavelet-based features for homogeneity assessment. The presented sharpness and illumination features are utilized to assure adequate field definition, whereas color information is used to exclude nonretinal images. Several publicly available datasets of varying quality grades are utilized to evaluate the feature sets resulting in area under the receiver operating characteristic curve above 0.99 for each of the individual feature sets. The overall quality is assessed by a classifier that uses the collective features as an input vector. The classification results show superior performance of the algorithm in comparison to other methods from literature. Moreover, the algorithm addresses efficiently and comprehensively various quality issues and is suitable for automatic screening systems.

Screen content images are originally captured in a full-chroma format. The chroma downsampling, which is commonly applied to the chroma component in screen content image representation and processing (e.g., YUV4:2:0 compression), will significantly degrade the image quality and create annoying artifacts such as blur and color shifting. To tackle this problem, in this paper we propose luma aware chroma downsampling and upsampling algorithms to jointly improve the quality of the chroma image reconstruction. Guided by the luma information, the chroma upsampling algorithm is proposed with the utilization of major color and index map representation. The geometric information-based linear mapping is developed to transfer the structure of luma to the interpolated chroma. Subsequently, the error sensitivity of the upsampling method is analyzed, and content dependent downsampling algorithm is presented to minimize the error sensitivity function. We further explore the applicability of the proposed scheme in the scenario of screen content compression, targeting at improving the decoded chroma image quality for display. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the viability and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

image pattern recognition is an important area in digital imageprocessing. An efficient pattern recognition algorithm should be able to provide correct recognition at a reduced computational time. Off late amongst the machine learning pattern recognition algorithms, Artificial fish swarm algorithm is one of the swarm intelligence optimization algorithms that works based on population and stochastic search. In order to achieve acceptable result, there are many parameters needs to be adjusted in AFSA. Among these parameters, visual and step are very significant in view of the fact that artificial fish basically move based on these parameters. In standard AFSA, these two parameters remain constant until the algorithm termination. Large values of these parameters increase the capability of algorithm in global search, while small values improve the local search ability of the algorithm. In this paper, we empirically study the performance of the AFSA and different approaches to balance between local and global exploration have been tested based on the adaptive modification of visual and step during algorithm execution. The proposed approaches have been evaluated based on the four well-known benchmark functions. Experimental results show considerable positive impact on the performance of AFSA. A Convex optimization has been integrated into the proposed work to have an ideal segmentation of the input image which is a MR brain image.
