We present an energy-efficient implementation of the level-2 Pruned Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform (PDHWT-2) for R-peak detection in ECG signals. Approximate computing techniques were employed, including five well-established approximate adders (AxPPA, COPY, ETA-I, LOA, and Trunc) and bit truncation (T), to reduce energy consumption while maintaining accuracy above 99% for reliable R-peak detection. By focusing on the second-level detail coefficient $(D_{2})$ for peak detection and pruning the approximation coefficient, the PDHWT-2 design achieves significant reductions in computational complexity. The architecture, evaluated with ECG signals from the MIT-BIH database, maintained accuracy above 99% even with aggressive bit truncation and approximation, ensuring reliable medical-grade analysis. Integration of approximate adders (AxAs) and truncation enabled significant power and area savings. Specifically, the use of the AxPPA demonstrated power savings of up to 40% with area reductions of around 45%, making the PDHWT-2 a highly efficient solution for low-power ECG monitoring systems.

In this work, a fractional order PID controller for temperature of a neonatal incubator is implemented through a neural network in an embedded system with an 8-bit microcontroller. Using real data from a retrofitted commercial incubator, the plant transfer function is obtained, achieving RMSE = 0.0598. The fractional order PID controller parameters were obtained through particle swarm optimization metaheuristics using the Grunwald–Letnikov definition to calculate the control system fractional derivatives and integrals. The multilayer perceptron neural network is used in order to mitigate the loss of optimality that occurs in discretization methods of fractional order PID controllers, since they are infinite order filters. The neural fractional order PID controller in a simulated environment achieved RMSE = 0.0660 and was compared to the Merrikh-Bayat discretization technique, which obtained RMSE = 0.6578. The neural controller, with only 4 neurons in the hidden layer, was embedded in an 8-bit microcontroller to control the system, requiring only 6.511 ms to execute the MLP, occupying 1556 bytes of program memory and 241 bytes of RAM.

Approximate computing (AxC) has emerged as a viable alternative to enhance computational efficiency by leveraging the intrinsic error resilience of many applications. One of the leading strategies of AxC involves exploring different approximation adder (AxA) configurations as a viable form of reducing power consumption in many applications. This work explores the use of AxAs in a hybrid watermarking technique that combines discrete Haar-Wavelet (DHWT) and discrete cosine transforms (DCT). The proposed hybrid method, HyDHWCT, integrates these transforms to improve robustness and imperceptibility in watermarking systems while optimizing for energy efficiency. We evaluate the performance of various AxAs, including Copy, ETA, LOA, Truncation (Trunc), VLSPPAs, and the AxPPA, regarding energy consumption, circuit area, and error resilience. Our results demonstrate that the AxPPA-based HyDHWCT offers superior accuracy and energy-quality trade-offs over other state-of-the-art AxAs. Specifically, the AxPPA on HyDHWCT with K = 1 achieves up to 72.85% energy savings and 88.32% area savings compared to the exact HyDHWCT while maintaining high accuracy, with a normalized cross-correlation (NC) of 0.9949 and a structural similarity (SSIM) of 0.9920 for the extracted watermark. These results make the AxPPA-based HyDHWCT a highly effective solution for robust and energy-efficient watermarking systems.

This work investigates the use of the Discrete Walsh-Hadamard Transform (DWHT) for cryptographic applications, particularly within resource-constrained environments like microcontrollers such as RISC-V. DWHT's use of adder and subtractor arithmetic operations makes it highly suitable for low-complexity algorithms. In order to enhance efficiency further, our work integrates various approximate adders (AxAs) such as AxPPA, COPY, ETA-I, LOA, and Trunc into both forward (DWHT) and inverse (IDWHT) transform architectures. Our approach outperforms existing methods from the literature regarding accuracy metrics, particularly for lower approximation levels $(K=1\ \text{to}\ K=3)$ , with substantial improvements in PSNR and SSIM. Additionally, our designs significantly reduce power and area compared to existing hardware implementations, show-casing their potential for deployment in real-world cryptographic and hardware security applications.

Remote sensing (RS) images play an important role in monitoring and surveying the earth’s surface at varying spatial scales. Continuous observations from various remote sensing sources over time complement single observations and provide better interpretability and analyzability for various applications. A critical need is to fuse these observations into single or multiple images that are more informative, accurate, complete, and coherent. Studies have intensively investigated spatial-temporal fusion for specific applications, such as pan-sharpening and spatial-temporal fusion of remote sensing images for time-series image analysis. Today, fusion methods have exceeded these typical applications, extending to encompass and accommodate different types of images, modalities, and tasks. Typically, fusion methods are expected to be robust and able to adapt to various types of images (e.g., spectral image, classification maps, and elevation maps) and scene complexities. In this work, we present a few solutions to improve the performance of existing fusion methods by adapting to gridded data with multimodality and considering their type-specific uncertainties. The main contributions of this work include the following: 1) A spatial-temporal filtering method that addresses the spectral heterogeneity of multitemporal images. 2) Three-dimensional (3D) iterative spatiotemporal filtering that enhances the spatiotemporal inconsistencies of classification maps. 3) Adaptive semantic-guided fusion that enhances the accuracy of DSMs, and an analysis of the adaptive fusion approaches comparing them with traditional nonadaptive approaches to show the significant importance of adaptive methods to boost the performance of fusion. 4) A comprehensive analysis of deep learning (DL) stereo matching methods against traditional Census semi-global matching (SGM) to obtain detailed knowledge on the accuracy of the DSMs at the stereo matching level. We analyze the overall performance, robustness,
