This work presents an energy-efficient Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) hardware architecture exploiting approximate adder circuits. The FFT hardware architecture consists of a fixed-point fully sequential architecture with a radix-2 butterfly with decimation in time (DIT). In this paper, we explore a set of approximate adders (LOA, ETA-I, Copy-A, Copy-B, Trunc0, Trunc1) in the butterfly by varying the approximation level (K term). The Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE) metric shows which approximate level term allows the FFT processing without widely signal losses. The results show that our best-proposed FFT employing Trunc0 approximate adder with K =10 saves up to 35% of power dissipation compared to the FFT with the original radix-2 butterfly using the synthesis tool operators.

We propose an Open Visual Perception framework for autonomous navigation and obstacle detection in marine sailing vessels. The proposed framework lays the groundwork for perceiving marine objects needed for vessel navigation and obstacle avoidance using only image processing as the primary method. Various methods are explored to extract features such as waterline, terrain, and other vessels. The proposed framework also incorporates image stabilization techniques without the need for an Inertial Measurement Unit to compensate for ocean wave oscillations. The work also introduces the system architecture of an autonomous marine vessel, besides the components of the open visual perception framework. Results demonstrate the capabilities of obstacle detection, horizon line identification, and water texture detection.

Improvement in spatial resolution of remote sensing images will always be a hot-topic since the sharpening of image objects is mandatory for many appications. Even thought image instruments have received great improvements in the recent years, super-resolution techniques are welcome to increase even more the level of quality of the data for further interpretations. In this paper we present a multi-frame super-resolution approach that uses a set of UAV images acquired at the same spot, but with slight different perspectives caused by random fluctuations. The small off-sets between consecutive pixels of the low spatial resolution images are considered at subpixel level to feed an arithmetic system of equations able to produce high resolution pixels, which are the unknowns of the system. The results are soundness and could show visual enhancement. However, further developments is need to in deep undertanding and possible advancement of the designed approach.

Thermal comfort is essential for maintaining physiological well-being, with textile materials traditionally serving as the primary medium for regulating heat exchange between the body and its environment. However, conventional textiles often fall short of maintaining optimal thermal balance. So, there is an increasing demand for advanced thermoregulation systems that can effectively reduce heat loss and enhance warmth, ensuring consistent comfort. Recent research has highlighted the promise of advanced functional materials, especially graphene and its composites, for modifying textiles to improve thermal properties. This article comprehensively reviews recent advancements in graphene-functionalized textile composites, focusing on their applications in wearable Joule heaters designed for personalized thermal comfort or thermal therapy. Various graphene-functionalized textile composites are reviewed from the perspectives of material properties, processing strategies and device fabrication methods. Key challenges and future opportunities are summarized for graphene-functionalized textile-based Joule heaters as innovative solutions in wearable thermal regulation.

Video transcoding for bit rate adaptation has become mandatory for over-the-top applications that deliver multimedia content in heterogeneous environments under different network conditions and user capabilities. As transcoding requires sequentially decoding and re-encoding the video bitstream, the computational cost involved in the process is too high, especially when considering current state-of-the-art codecs, such as the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). This work presents a fast HEVC transcoder for bit rate adaptation based on Prediction Unit (PU) mode inheritance, which uses information gathered from the HEVC decoding process to accelerate PU mode decision in the re-encoding process. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an average transrating time reduction of 42% at the cost of a bitrate increase of 0.54%.
