Complex imageprocessingalgorithms (e.g. Sobel edge detection) combined with higher resolution video streaming, are so computationally and put bigger demands on processing power. Unlike the software solutions, parallel solutions satisfy well these algorithms' performance, but using a programmable logic such as FPGA's can provide us more. Driven by the rapid technological advances, today it's possible to combine a high-speed CPU and an FPGA technology on a single system on Chip (SoC), such as the Xilinx Zynq 7000 series. In this paper, we present a HD video streaming architecture and a Sobel edge detection IP core design and implementation using a high-level synthesis workflow. A HD video with a 1080p resolution streamed from a laptop HDMI interface. The processed videos were displayed by the use of a monitor. For implementation, we used a Digilent ZYBO Zynq ZC7010 based platform and our experimental results will be compared with an NVIDIA M840 GPU.

A qualified speech communication is quite important in modern communication. Thus, the implementation of security algorithms is also very important to achieve real-time applications. In this paper, we design a robust and full-duplex real-time speech communication system based on Texas Instrument's 32-bit floating point DSP TMS320C6748. We use ITU-T G.723.1 as the audio codec in this system. According to the hardware of the system and also to meet the requirement of high-quality and real-time communication, several methods are introduced in this paper to optimize the algorithm. Through the optimization, time spending in compression and decompression reduce from more than 1000ms to about 10ms which guarantees a real-time communication. Our designed system has been successfully used for the speech communication of railway system.

Glaucoma is an asymptomatic eye disease and one of the major causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. For this reason, there have been significant advances in automatic screening tools for early detection. In this paper, an automatic glaucoma diagnosis algorithm based on retinal fundus image is presented. This algorithm uses anatomical characteristics such as the position of the vessels and the cup within the optic nerve. Using several color spaces and the Stochastic Watershed transformation, different characteristics of the optic nerve were analyzed in order to distinguish between a normal and a glaucomatous fundus. The proposed algorithm was evaluated on 53 images (24 normal and 29 glaucomatous images). The specificity and sensitivity obtained by the proposed algorithm are 0.81 and 0.87 using Luv color space, which means considerable performance in diagnosis systems.

This paper represents a literature review of research works concerning the reconstruction of forms of buried objects in an homogeneous soil, applied for the reconstruction of forms of underground cavities. First, we will set modeling as integral function, of the nonlinear inverse problem to solve. In general, this problem is solved through a regularization technique, the TSVD technical (Trunced Singular Value Decomposition), which is more efficient than the method of Thikhonov, because of its simplicity and minimal cost calculation. Regularization techniques are employed because the experimental data are still affected by noise. Secondly, we will discuss the influence of the choice of certain parameters, the quality of the reconstructed tomographic images. Third, we will take advantage from the imageprocessing module of the Opencv Library to estimate the shape of the buried cavities, based on the treatment of the resulting images, using Douglas-Peucker algorithm. The case studied here is the one of a dispersive low conductivity half-space, where is embedded the anomaly which is a cavity filled with a dielectric.

The most perspective direction in the imageprocessing became the use of graphics processing units (GPU). The main advantage of it is the exceptional dedication to work with 2d and 3d graphics, respectively processing large volumes of similar data. The consequence of this was the emergence of a single graphics card on the board of several stream processors responsible for performing the same type of command. However, a major breakthrough in the use of the GPU is the emergence of the possibility of programming the stream processors (vertex and pixel) imageprocessing. The special feature of the group of processors are parallel processing, i.e., for a pixel processor unit is one piece or texel. For example, modern GPU carry on board more than 1,000 stream processors, each type of which can significantly improve performance by parallel use of all processors. Work related to the parallelization takes on the GPU, the engineer must identify only the basic algorithm for a single processor.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) which is widely used transmission technique for all 4G communication systems faces a major issue of Peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) is the most preferred technique for the reduction of PAPR. But it involves complex searching algorithms for finding the most optimal combinations of OFDM signals. Increased complexity with any increase in the number of sub-blocks is a major drawback of PTS. In this paper, Iterative-Grouping and image-PTS (IGI-PTS) technique is proposed which mainly focuses on reducing the computational complexity involved in search of optimal phase factors. It is combination of two basic grouping and imaging techniques and further using iterations to simplify the searching process when the numbers of sub-blocks are in significantly high.

In this paper, a hardware-in-the loop simulation (HILS) platform is presented for verifying the image-based object tracking method adopted in the small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (sUAV). The platform is constructed by imageprocessing module, scene generation module, and flight control module. In the imageprocessing module, the motion of target object is measured by using the speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm and the feature matching technique. And then, control command is provided to allow the target object to be tracked by sUAV automatically. The JMAVSIM software developed by PX4 dev-team is used in the proposed platform to simulate the flight of sUAV and provide virtual scene and flight data. Pixhawk based on PX4 firmware which is a popular flight control computer is used as flight control module in the proposed platform. Experimental results show that the object tracking method based on sUAV is effectively tested and evaluated in the proposed HILS platform.

A license plate detection task (LPD) is an important stage in the License plate recognition (LPR) implementations for automated transport systems. This paper is focused on a theory behind various interest points (IPs) detectors and region descriptors often used in applications of imageprocessing including the LPR apps among others. We have carried out wide analysis on behaviour of several selected detectors and descriptors listed here: Harris, Shi&Tomasi, MSER, FAST, SURF and BRISK. These algorithms have been implemented, tested and compared each other from a point of view of their stability and repeatability. Our experiments were performed on a license plate localization task and carried out over an extensive gallery of real vehicle images.
