Smart camera design for realtime High Dynamic Range imaging
2011
International audience; Many camera sensors suffer from limited dynamic range. The result is that there is a lack of clear details in displayed images and videos. This paper describes our approach to generate high dynamic range (HDR) from an image sequence while modifying exposure times for each new frame. For this purpose, we propose an FPGA-based architecture that can produce a real-time high dynamic range video from successive image acquisition. Our hardware platform is build around a standard low dynamic range CMOS sensor and a Virtex 5 FPGA board. The CMOS sensor is a EV76C560 provided by e2v. This 1.3 Megapixel device offers novel pixel integration/readout modes and embedded image pre…
HDR-ARtiSt: High Dynamic Range Advanced Real-Time Imaging System
2012
International audience; This paper describes the HDR-ARtiSt hardware platform, a FPGA-based architecture that can produce a real- time high dynamic range video from successive image acquisition. The hardware platform is built around a standard low dynamic range (LDR) CMOS sensor and a Virtex 5 FPGA board. The CMOS sensor is a EV76C560 provided by e2v. This 1.3 Megapixel device offers novel pixel integration/readout modes and em- bedded image pre-processing capabilities including multiframe acquisition with various exposure times. Our approach consists of a hardware architecture with different algorithms: double exposure control during image capture, building of an HDR image by combining the…
eISP, une architecture de calcul programmable pour l'amélioration d'images sur téléphone portable.
2009
4 pages; Today's smart phones, with their embedded high-resolution video sensors, require computing capacities that are too high to easily meet stringent silicon area and power consumption requirements (some one and a half square millimeters and half a watt) especially when programmable components are used. To develop such capacities, integrators still rely on dedicated low resolution video processing components, whose drawback is low flexibility. With this in mind, our paper presents eISP {--} a new, fully programmable Embedded Image Signal Processor architecture, now validated in {TSMC~65nm} technology to achieve a capacity of {16.8~GOPs} at {233~MHz}, for {1.5~mm$^2$} of silicon area and…

Extensions matérielles pour processeurs embarqués de traitement d'images.
2007
12p; Le marché des imageurs embarqués est entré dans une ère nouvelle avec l'avènement des téléphones portables munis d'appareils photographiques et de caméras. Il est attendu qu'à l'horizon 2009, leur nombre dépassera celui de l'ensemble des appareils photos vendus depuis l'invention de la photographie, et ce qu'ils soient numériques ou non. Le marché des imageurs électroniques embarqués est donc un secteur porteur, notamment au travers de la téléphonie et de la visiophonie mobile. Les applications ne sont plus limitées à la simple photographie ou la transmission de vidéo ; les lecteurs de codes matrices, la reconnaissance de visages, la biométrie, ou la vision 3D sont des exemples parmi l…
Compression embarquée temps réel pour caméras rapides
2005
Les caméras rapides sont de puissants outils pour étudier, par exemple, la dynamique des fluides ou le déplacement des pièces mécaniques lors d'un processus de fabrication. Nous décrivons dans ce papier, un nouveau type de caméra rapide possédant un fonctionnement original. En effet, outre le fait qu'elle utilise comme d'autres caméras, la grande flexibilité des capteurs CMOS en termes d'acquisition (ROI), elle est novatrice au niveau du transfert des données. Celles-ci pouvant être à la fois traitées et/ou compressées en temps réel au sein même de la caméra. Le transfert peut s'effectuer alors à l'aide d'une simple connection série de type USB 2.0. On réalise ainsi l'économie d'une mémoire…
Puente a trasplante cardiaco con oxigenación de membrana extracorpórea
2012
PUENTE A TRASPLANTE CARDIACO CON OXIGENACIÓN DE MEMBRANA EXTRACORPÓREA Objetivos: Los nuevos sistemas de Oxigenación de Membrana Extracorpórea (ECMO) han presentado un desarrollo tecnológico notable, fundamentalmente debido a la incorporación de oxigenadores y bombas centrífugas de larga duración, lo cual ha conducido a una importante mejoría en la supervivencia de los pacientes en shock cardiogénico refractario tratados con este tipo de asistencia mecánica circulatoria de corta duración. La implantación de este dispositivo por vía periférica de forma sencilla, rápida y poco agresiva en estos pacientes en shock cardiogénico con signos incipientes de fracaso multiorgánico puede mejorar su su…
CMOS Capacitance-to-Time Converter-Based Interface for Differential Capacitive Sensors
2020
This paper presents pre-layout simulation results on a CMOS implementation of a capacitance-to-time converter-based electronic interface for differential capacitive sensors. Its simple architecture, comprising only three operational amplifiers (OA) and a digital mixer (inverted XOR gate) allows, by properly setting the values of seven biasing resistors, to fit the working range anywhere from few fF to hundreds of pF, giving the output quasi-digital signals (T and PW) in the useful μs-ms range (appropriate for direct interfacing with general purposes microcontrollers). A couple of illustrative examples are provided.
Optoelectronic Module with Integrated Transceiver and Mux-Demux for Optical Interconnect Applications
2019
The design, development and improvtableement in electronic devices and components have led to the further miniaturization of the system devices and their interconnecting interfaces. Hence, reducing the size of the transmitter (Tx) chips, receiver (Rx) chips and associated components play an important role in designing a reduced/small sized optoelectronic modules for optical interconnect applications. Some of the associated components include multiplexer, demultiplexer, clock and data recovery circuits (CDR), etc. Therefore, in this paper we present an optoelectronic module with integrated transceiver (Tx-Rx) and multiplexer-demultiplexer (mux-demux) with the aim of reducing the total area o…
Comunità e spazio pubblico. Come generare la dimensione spaziale della democrazia
2021
The contribution addresses the issue of the spatial dimension of democracy in the neo-cosmopolitan city, also as an expression of the communities living in it. By highlighting the inequalities still present, which translate into marginality of communities and urban spaces, the contribution claims the importance of public space in the relations between community and city and proposes operational methods through project examples in the city of Palermo.
