Installation and commissioning of the TileCal Read-Out Drivers
2007
TileCal is the hadronic tile calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment at LHC/CERN. The main component of the TileCal back-end electronics is the Read-Out Driver (ROD). The ROD system is placed between the first and the second level trigger and it is the responsible for processing the data gathered by the detector. The principal devices of the RODs are the Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) mounted in the Processing Units (PUs) daughterboards. The architecture and functionality of the RODs are briefly explained. Then, it is presented the ROD system installation in the ATLAS electronics cavern. Currently, the RODs are being used for the detector commissioning. It is detailed the Detector and Verific…
Embedded multi-spectral image processing for real-time medical application
2016
International audience; The newly introduced Kubelka-Munk Genetic Algorithm (KMGA) is a promising technique for the assessment of skin lesions from multi-spectral images. Using five skin parameter maps such as concentration or epidermis/dermis thickness, this method combines the Kubelka-Munk Light-Tissue interaction model and Genetic Algorithm optimization process to produce a quantitative measure of cutaneous tissue. Up to the present, variant improved KMGA implementations have been successfully realized using the recent parallel computing techniques. However, all these achievements are based on the multi-core CPUs. This results in a quite high cost and low practicability for the hardware …
