Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(IEEE, 2016)
An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for
the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing
image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s
imaging modules in digital cameras and ...
A crash course on patents for engineers
(2013)
Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ...
On thin-clients and the cloud; can smartphones and tablets really reduce electricity consumption?
(2014)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move many computational and data storage services from the desktop onto the network. New thin clients provide an excellent user interface for cloud services and also reduce both ...
Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(IEEE, 2014)
Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ...
Evaluation of Combined Visible/NIR Camera for Iris Authentication on smartphones
(IEEE, 2015)
Iris biometrics provide a mature and robust method of authentication, but are typically applied in a controlled environment and under constrained acquisition conditions. In this paper, the adaption of iris biometrics for ...
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)
The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ...
An FPGA-based stereoscopic camera - electronic design tools and techniques
(IEEE, 2010-08-05)
Electronic design tools and techniques for the implementation of a stereoscopic camera based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are presented. The stages of an IPP (Image Processing Pipeline) are presented together ...
Conservation voltage reduction in secondary distribution networks with distributed generation and electric vehicle charging loads
(IEEE, 2018-08-23)
This paper investigates the potential for Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) in Low Voltage (LV) secondary distribution networks. CVR is a well-established technique where the voltage in LV networks is managed at a ...
Classification applied to brain haemorrhage detection: Initial phantom studies using electrical impedance measurements
(EIT2018, 2018-06-11)
Machine learning and classification algorithms are applied to data collected from an EIT system. The system is used with an anatomically accurate head phantom setup in a variety of situations modelling normal and haemorrhagic ...
Hardware implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system
(IEEE, 2010-07-15)
An implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system on a single FPGA is presented. Our approach is based on the use of stereo image sensors and can display real-time 3D video when combined with shutter glasses. ...
