ARQ parameters for VoIP in IEEE 802.16 networks
2009
IEEE 802.16 standard defines two data retransmission mechanisms. HARQ provides fast retransmissions in cost of slightly increased overhead. On the contrary, ARQ has less overhead in cost of bit longer delays. It is therefore often used with BE connections. In addition to delay tolerant applications, BE can also be used for real-time services. Therefore, in this paper we analyze the ARQ mechanism and provide guidelines on how to set the ARQ parameters to achieve a good balance between the VoIP delay and packet loss.
Wavelet-based video compression: A glimpse of the future?
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Even though wavelet-based video compression has been an area of research for more than a decade, motion estimation and compensation has been considered complex and inefficient until recently. We have carried out a thorough investigation of existing research work in this field, and found that fundamental problem with wavelet-based temporal removal while obtaining highly scalability (the wavelet-properties of multiresolution structure in combination with embedded coding), has been solved by performing motion compensated temporal filtering within the wavelet domain of a overcomplete three-dimensional li…
Analysis of binarization techniques and Tsetlin machine architectures targeting image classification
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The Tsetlin Machine is a constantly evolving and developing machine learning technique with ever-increasing success. However, for every success, the Tsetlin Machine achieves, a new set of challenges are put ahead. To sufficiently bring the Tsetlin Machine to a broadly used standard, these challenges must be completed. This thesis focuses on the challenge of doing color image classification and will provide an introductory description of how this is possible through the usage of an older technique, namely binarization. A comparison with the various Tsetlin Machine adaptations made public in recent times is also present aft…
An improved image processing chain for mobile terminals
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Based on the proposal in the report by Tryggve Mikkelsen [Mikkelsen, 2001] this thesis investigates and discusses the implementation of a simplified image processing chain for modern mobile terminals. Previous work on image processing in this field of application has shown that the demosaicing operation, color space conversion and downsampling are resource demanding pre-processing operations. The simplification potential of the signal chain lies within the pictured scenario of using Bayer RGB from the image sensor directly as input to the compression scheme. By omitting these pre-processing operation…
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Semantic Segmentation of Multi-Band Satellite Images
2018
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2018 Semantic segmentation of images is of increasing interest in the eld of computer vision and machine learning. Accurate and e cient segmentation methods is required for many of todays modern applications. This the- sis provides a review of deep learning methods for semantic segmentation of satellite images. Firstly, we compare di erent state-of-the-art methods. Next, we explore the bene ts of using multiple spectral bands of data as compared to the traditional RGB bands. Finally, a look at future possibil- ities with segmentation using capsule networks.
Combining Deep Privacy with an Attribute-driven Generative Adversarial Network to Preserve Gender and Age in De-identified CCTV Footage
2021
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) A surveillance camera is an efficient solution to prohibit crimes for both small and big businesses, and is broadly utilized in big cities. Today, the police force can only access the camera footage for further investigation after an act of crime. In order to observe, find patterns, and react appropriately to an event, the Oslo Police wants to use its own CCTV cameras and analyze such footage in real-time. To investigate real-time CCTV footage and share such footage with a third-party for analyzing, the people in the footage need to be de-identified. In this thesis, we focus on de-identification of CCTV footage, preservin…
Hand Gestures Recognition using Thermal Images
2021
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) Hand gesture recognition is important in a variety of applications, including medical systems and assistive technologies, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, industrial automation, virtual environment control, sign language translation, crisis and disaster management, en-tertainment and computer games, and robotics. RGB cameras are usually used for most of these applications. However, their performance is limited especially in low-light conditions. It is challenging to accurately classify the hand gestures in dark conditions. In this thesis, we propose the robust hand gestures recognition based on high re…
Development of a Matlab Toolbox for Mobile Fading Channel Simulators
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Knowledge of channel behaviours in mobile radio communication is extensively recommended for the study of transmitter/receiver performances. Our intention in this master's thesis is to develop various kinds of mobile fading channel simulators using Matlab. The developed channel simulators were combined into a user-friendly toolbox from which users can easily select well-known channel models to test and to study the performance of mobile communication systems. The toolbox can be integrated into the new release of Matlab software. The toolbox contains channel simulators for spatial shadowing processes,…
Analysis of audio coding algorithms for networked embedded systems
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Today there are many different audio coding algorithms, some of them standardized by the ITU, like G.711, G.726 and G.728, and several other codecs by other organizations like Fraunhofer (mp3) and Microsoft (WMA). All these algorithms differ in several important features, like speech quality, bit or compression rate, robustness, delay, sampling frequency, complexity and range of use. The past decade we have witnessed a great progress towards application of low-rate speech/music coders as well as computer related voice/music applications. Central to this progress has been the development of speech cod…
A novel framework for MR image segmentation and quantification by using MedGA
2019
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Image segmentation represents one of the most challenging issues in medical image analysis to distinguish among different adjacent tissues in a body part. In this context, appropriate image pre-processing tools can improve the result accuracy achieved by computer-assisted segmentation methods. Taking into consideration images with a bimodal intensity distribution, image binarization can be used to classify the input pictorial data into two classes, given a threshold intensity value. Unfortunately, adaptive thresholding techniques for two-class segmentation work properly only for images characterized by bimodal histograms. We aim at overcoming these limitations and…
