This paper describes the design, development, and implementation of a real-time sensor fusion system that utilizes the classification and weighing plus extended Kalman filter algorithm to derive heading for navigation using inexpensive sensors. This algorithm was previously tested only through postprocessing using MATLAB and is now reprogrammed using Qt and deployed on a Linux-based embedded board for real-time operation. Various data from inexpensive sensors such as global positioning system devices, an electronic compass, and an inertial measurement unit were utilized to ultimately derive a more reliable and accurate heading value. The algorithm flow can be described with the GPS values first being evaluated and classified which are then fused with the EC heading using classification and weighing, whose result is then passed through an EKF to fuse with the IMU data. Real-time tests and trials were done to prove the operational capability of the developed process. The complete setup and configuration processes of the systems for development and deployment via Qt are also provided for those interested to replicate the process.

Architecture Analysis

It is crucial for real-time embedded system to design and verify for a little fault may lead to a catastrophe. Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is a modeling language used to design and analysis the architecture of real-time embedded system based on Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Code generation of AADL model to codes running on the Real-time Operation System can avoid hand-writing mistakes and improve the efficiency of development. Partitioning is introduced into embedded system to control fault transmission. This paper presents a mapping approach to generate codes from AADL model for partitioned system, and the generated codes which include configuration codes and C codes will run on a partitioned platform.

Microwave ablation is widely recognized as a promising minimally invasive tool for treating cancer. Real-time monitoring of the dimensions of the ablation zone is indispensable for ensuring an effective and safe treatment. In this paper, we propose a microwave imaging algorithm for monitoring the evolution of the ablation zone. Our proposed algorithm determines the boundary of the ablation zone by exploiting the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between signals received before and during the ablation at external antennas surrounding the tissue, using the interstitial ablation antenna as the transmitter. A significant advantage of this method is that it requires few assumptions about the dielectric properties of the propagation media. Also the simplicity of the signal processing, wherein the TDOA is determined from a cross-correlation calculation, allows real-time monitoring and provides robust performance in the presence of noise. We investigate the performance of this approach for the application of breast tumor ablation. We use simulated array measurements obtained from finite-difference time-domain simulations of magnetic resonance imaging-derived numerical breast phantoms. The results demonstrate that our proposed method offers the potential to achieve millimeter-order accuracy and real-time operation in estimating the boundary of the ablation zone in heterogeneous and dispersive breast tissue.

<span lang="EN-US">Real-time acquisition and processing of electroencephalographic signals have promising applications in the implementation of brain-computer interfaces. These devices allow the user to control a device without performing motor actions, and are usually made up of a biopotential acquisition stage and a personal computer (PC). This structure is very flexible and appropriate for research, but for final users it is necessary to migrate to an embedded system, eliminating the PC from the scheme. The strict real-time processing requirements of such systems justify the choice of a system on a chip field-programmable gate arrays (SoC-FPGA) for its implementation. This article proposes a platform for the acquisition and processing of electroencephalographic signals using this type of device, which combines the parallelism and speed capabilities of an FPGA with the simplicity of a general-purpose processor on a single chip. In this scheme, the FPGA is in charge of the real-time operation, acquiring and processing the signals, while the processor solves the high-level tasks, with the interconnection between processing elements solved by buses integrated into the chip. The proposed scheme was used to implement a brain-computer interface based on steady-state visual evoked potentials, which was used to command a speller. The first tests of the system show that a selection time of 5 seconds per command can be achieved. The time delay between the user’s selection and the system response has been estimated at 343 µs.</span>

Water is the most precious and valuable because it’s a basic need of all the human beings but, now a day water supply department are facing problem in real time operation this is because less amount of water in resources due to less rain fall. With increase in Population, urban residential areas have increased because of this reasons water has become a crucial problem which affects the problem of water distribution, interrupted water supply, water conservation, water consumption and also the water quality so, to overcome water supply related problems and make system efficient there is need of proper monitoring and controlling system. In this project, we are focusing on continuous and real time monitoring of water supply in IOT platform. Water supply with continuous monitoring makes a proper distribution so that, we can have a record of available amount of water in tanks, flow rate, abnormality in distribution line. Internet of things is nothing but the network of physical objects embedded with electronics, sensors, software, and network connectivity. Monitoring can be done from anywhere as central office. Using Adafruit as free sever data continuously pushed on cloud so we can see data in real time operation. Using different sensors with controller and raspberry pi as Mini computer can monitor data and also control operation from cloud with efficient client server communication.
