Compiler Driven Automatic Kernel Context Migration for Heterogeneous Computing
2014
Computer systems provide different heterogeneous resources (e.g., GPUs, DSPs and FPGAs) that accelerate applications and that can reduce the energy consumption by using them. Usually, these resources have an isolated memory and a require target specific code to be written. There exist tools that can automatically generate target specific codes for program parts, so-called kernels. The data objects required for a target kernel execution need to be moved to the target resource memory. It is the programmers' responsibility to serialize these data objects used in the kernel and to copy them to or from the resource's memory. Typically, the programmer writes his own serializing function or uses e…
Multispectral images-based background subtraction using Codebook and deep learning approaches
2020
This dissertation aims to investigate the multispectral images in moving objects detection via background subtraction, both with classical and deep learning-based methods. As an efficient and representative classical algorithm for background subtraction, the traditional Codebook has first been extended to multispectral case. In order to make the algorithm reliable and robust, a self-adaptive mechanism to select optimal parameters has then been proposed. In this frame, new criteria in the matching process are employed and new techniques to build the background model are designed, including box-based Codebook, dynamic Codebook and fusion strategy. The last attempt is to investigate the potent…
VIRES: A distributed open architecture for pictorial database
2006
In this paper we describe VIRES (Visual Information Retrieval Extendible System) an open distributed pictorial database for image retrieval. The retrieval methods, pictorial indexing and data are distributed over the network. VIRES has been designed as an open architecture. The system is based on the concept of distributed model via dictionary in order to reach a good versatility without changing the kernel of VIRES.
Routing Algorithm for Maximizing Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Network for Broadcast Transmission
2018
In the article we discuss solutions of the maximum lifetime broadcasting problem in wireless sensor networks. Due to limited energy resources of the network nodes to find an optimal transmission route of the broadcasted data we minimize the maximum energy consumed by the nodes. We give an analytical solution of the problem in one dimensional regular sensor network for the point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data transmission scheme. We show that in such a network, when the cost of data transmission is a polynomial function of distance between transmitter and receiver, there exist solutions with an equal energy, i.e., all nodes of the network consume the same amount of energy. We assume t…
A measurement-based channel model for vehicular communications in tunnels
2014
Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), 2014 IEEE, Istanbul, TURQUIE, 06-/04/2014 - 09/04/2014; In this paper, we present a new version of the iterative nonlinear least square approximation (INLSA) algorithm for the design of measurement-based channel simulators. The proposed method aims to match the time-variant impulse response (TVIR) of the simulation model to that of the measured channel. The propagation delays are discerned directly from the measurements, whereas the gains, the Doppler frequencies, and the phases are computed iteratively by minimizing a matching error norm. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of the approximation of the transfe…
AMUN: An Object Oriented Model For Cooperative Spatial Information Systems
1997
International audience; The diversity of spatial information systems promote the need to integrate heterogeneous spatial or geographic information systems (GIS) in a cooperative environment. We present an on going research project, called ISIS (Interoperable Spatial Information System), which aims to build an environment to support interoperability of GIS by interconnecting spatial data repositories and spatial processing resources. Our solution combines techniques from traditional interoperable information systems, spatial data modeling and distributed object oriented databases. While object oriented data modeling impact has been studied in spatial databases, research in model for distribu…
Optical implementation of the weighted sliced orthogonal nonlinear generalized correlation for nonuniform illumination conditions.
2002
Optical pattern recognition under variations of illumination is an important issue. The sliced orthogonal nonlinear generalized (SONG) correlation has been proposed as an optical pattern recognition tool to discriminate with high efficiency between objects. But, at the same time, the SONG correlation is very sensitive to gray-scale image variations. In a previous work, we expanded the definition of the SONG correlation to the Weighted SONG (WSONG) correlation to modify the discrimination capability in a controlled way. Here, we propose to use the WSONG when pattern recognition is obtained by means of optical correlation under nonuniform illumination. The calculation of the WSONG correlation…
ICA of full complex-valued fMRI data using phase information of spatial maps.
2015
Background ICA of complex-valued fMRI data is challenging because of the ambiguous and noisy nature of the phase. A typical solution is to remove noisy regions from fMRI data prior to ICA. However, it may be more optimal to carry out ICA of full complex-valued fMRI data, since any filtering or voxel-based processing may disrupt information that can be useful to ICA. New method We enable ICA of the full complex-valued fMRI data by utilizing phase information of estimated spatial maps (SMs). The SM phases are first adjusted to properly represent spatial phase changes of all voxels based on estimated time courses (TCs), and then these are used to segment the voxels into BOLD-related and unwant…
Integration of Spatial processing and knowledge Processing through the Semantic Web Stack
2011
International audience; This paper presents the integration process of spatial technologies and Semantic Web technologies and its associated tool. The result of this work is a spatial query and rule engine of spatial. To do so, existing ontology with spatial elements is adjusted in order to process the spatial knowledge through spatial technologies. This paper outlines the methods and the processes of these adjustments and how results are returned by our tool. The SWRL and the SPARQL language are extended for spatial purpose and the existing OWL ontology wine is used as an application example.
Salient Pixels and Dimensionality Reduction for Display of Multi/Hyperspectral Images
2012
International audience; Dimensionality Reduction (DR) of spectral images is a common approach to different purposes such as visualization, noise removal or compression. Most methods such as PCA or band selection use either the entire population of pixels or a uniformly sampled subset in order to compute a projection matrix. By doing so, spatial information is not accurately handled and all the objects contained in the scene are given the same emphasis. Nonetheless, it is possible to focus the DR on the separation of specific Objects of Interest (OoI), simply by neglecting all the others. In PCA for instance, instead of using the variance of the scene in each spectral channel, we show that i…
