Wireless HROV Control with Compressed Visual Feedback Using Acoustic and RF Links
2020
AbstractUnderwater cooperative robotics offers the possibility to perform challenging intervention applications, such as recovering archeological objects as within the context of the MERBOTS research project, or grasping, transporting and assembly of big objects, using more than one mobile manipulator, as faced by the TWINBOT project. In order to enhance safety during the intervention, it is reasonable to avoid the umbilical, also giving more mobility to the robots, and enabling a broader set of cooperative movements. Several solutions, based on acoustic, radiofrequency (RF) or Visual Light Communication (VLC) have been proposed for underwater communications in the literature. This paper pr…
A vision-based fully automated approach to robust image cropping detection
2020
Abstract The definition of valid and robust methodologies for assessing the authenticity of digital information is nowadays critical to contrast social manipulation through the media. A key research topic in multimedia forensics is the development of methods for detecting tampered content in large image collections without any human intervention. This paper introduces AMARCORD (Automatic Manhattan-scene AsymmetRically CrOpped imageRy Detector), a fully automated detector for exposing evidences of asymmetrical image cropping on Manhattan-World scenes. The proposed solution estimates and exploits the camera principal point, i.e., a physical feature extracted directly from the image content th…
DECENTRALIZED SUBSPACE PROJECTION IN LARGE NETWORKS
2018
A great number of applications in wireless sensor networks involve projecting a vector of observations onto a subspace dictated by prior information. Accomplishing such a task in a centralized fashion entails great power consumption, congestion at certain nodes, and suffers from robustness issues. A sensible alternative is to compute such projections in a decentralized fashion. To this end, recent works proposed schemes based on graph filters, which compute projections exactly with a finite number of local exchanges among sensor nodes. However, existing methods to obtain these filters are confined to reduced families of projection matrices or small networks. This paper proposes a method tha…
AQM generalized nyquist stability in multiple bottleneck networks
2005
Abstract The influence of multiple bottlenecks on the stability of Active Queue Management (AQM) controllers, usually configured on a single bottleneck basis is discussed. We consider a network scenario where RED is configured at each router according to previously developed control theoretic techniques. These configuration rules assure stability in a single bottleneck scenario. We show that instability may arise when two links become congested. We justify this result through a multiple bottleneck model using the Generalized Nyquist stability criterion.
Algorithmic Complexity Vulnerability Analysis of a Stateful Firewall
2016
Algorithmic complexity vulnerabilities are an opportunity for an ad-versary to conduct a sophisticated kind of attack i.e. on network infrastructure services. Such attacks take advantage of worst case time or space complexity of algorithms implemented on devices in their software. In this paper we address potential risks introduced by such algorithmic behavior in computer networks in particular on a stateful firewall. First we introduce the idea and theoretical background for the attack. We then describe in full detail a successfully con-ducted attack which takes advantage of the worst case computational complexi-ty of O(n2) of a hash table data structure used to store active sessions. The …
Flexible Spare Core Placement in Torus Topology based NoCs and its validation on an FPGA
2021
In the nano-scale era, Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnection paradigm has gained importance to abide by the communication challenges in Chip Multi-Processors (CMPs). With increased integration density on CMPs, NoC components namely cores, routers, and links are susceptible to failures. Therefore, to improve system reliability, there is a need for efficient fault-tolerant techniques that mitigate permanent faults in NoC based CMPs. There exists several fault-tolerant techniques that address the permanent faults in application cores while placing the spare cores onto NoC topologies. However, these techniques are limited to Mesh topology based NoCs. There are few approaches that have realized …
<title>Revenue-maximization-based adaptive WFQ</title>
2002
In the future Internet, di erent applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video-on-Demand (VoD) arise with di erent Quality of Service (QoS) parameters including e.g. guaranteed bandwidth, delay jitter, and latency. Different kinds of service classes (e.g. gold, silver, bronze) arise. The customers of di erent classes pay di erent prices to the service provider, who must share resources in a plausible way. In a router, packets are queued using a multi-queue system, where each queue corresponds to one service class. In this paper, an adaptive Weighted Fair Queue based algorithm for traAEc allocation is presented and studied. The weights in gradient type WFQ algorithm are adapted using r…
A new Scheme for RPL to handle Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks
2017
Mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are characterised by dynamic changes in the network topology leading to route breaks and disconnections. The IPv6 routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL), which has become a standard, uses the Trickle timer algorithm to handle changes in the network topology. However, neither RPL nor Trickle timer are well adapted to mobility. This paper investigates the problem of supporting mobility when using RPL. It enhances RPL to fit with sensors' mobility by studying two cases. Firstly, it proposes to modify RPL in order to fit with a dynamic and hybrid topology in the context of medical applications. Secondly, it investigates a more general case…
I-RP: Interference Aware Routing Protocol for WBAN
2018
The Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN) have witnessed tremendous research interest because of their wide range of applications (medical and non-medical) in order to improve the quality of life. The healthcare applications of WBSN demands dissemination of patient’s data, reliably and in a timely manner. For this purpose, medical teams may use real-time applications for disseminating critical data such as blood pressure, ECG, and EEG. The critical data packets are highly delay sensitive that must reach intended destination within time constraints. Due to the exchange of real-time and multi-media data, some nodes or links may experience the significant level of interference in the network. C…
