The article is devoted to the description and research of technologies for data flow transmission from video cameras designed for use in modern cars. The paper provides a theoretical analysis of the most popular wired and wireless data streaming technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Analysis of the most important characteristics showed, that the mentioned technologies are not effective due to their significant shortcomings, which are critical in the production of cars, and will not allow their usage. The main disadvantages of Gigabit Ethernet technology are the lack of guarantees of full delivery of transmitted data. Given that the data obtained can be used for self-driving control systems, the technology cannot be used for transmitting the data stream to the camera, as there will be a possibility of endangering the safety of the passenger and accidents to the vehicle. Disadvantages of Wi-Fi technology include low data rates and lack of reliable protection against electromagnetic interference. Given the advantages and disadvantages of the above technologies, it was decided to abandon the possibility of their usage and consider suitable options. It is shown, that in the considered conditions, the most expedient solution for data transmission from the video camera is GMSL technology, which makes it possible to significantly increase the resistance to electromagnetic interference, the overall transmission rate, and the quality of the transmitted data. The technical features of GMSL technology, in particular SerDes technology, which is one of the main components of the above technology, are considered. For SerDes technology, the process and features of converting a parallel data stream into a serial, data transmission, and inverse data conversion into a parallel form are described. The usage of this technology makes it possible to transmit data over a distance of up to 15 meters (without significant loss of quality). Described is a method of encoding input data in the format 8b/10b. This encoding makes it possible to ensure the stability of data transmission and their overall resistance to electromagnetic interference. This is achieved by noise of the useful carrier signal. Describes the possibility of restoring the clock signal using the CDR block after receiving data on the differential pair, as it does not contain a separate line for this signal. At the same time the problem of current and voltage balance is solved. The methods of controlling the video camera module and SerDes components using I2C and UART interfaces are shown. The peculiarity of the control signals is that they can be directed in different directions due to the duplex transmission channel. The expediency of using GMSL technology in a device that implements data transmission from the camera module is considered. The advantages of using the described technology and their compliance with the established requirements are given. It is proposed to implement the ability to control the mode of operation of the camera from the control device using GMSL technology.

Communication is one of the most important foundations in the Internet of Things. Although some cutting-edge technologies, such as 5G, have greatly empowered edge computing, electromagnetic interference and pollution make them impracticable in many environments. The visible light communication (VLC) is a new type of wireless communication technology with appealing benefits not presented in radio communications. VLC allows a lamp or other light source to not only serve as illumination but also simultaneously transmit data. Although traditional VLC multiplexing technologies have been able to achieve a high-speed data transmission rate, they require all receivers to use the same modulation means. In many scenarios, various-type receivers coexist; it is costly to incorporate multiple senders to implement adaptive content distribution in on-demand services. In this paper, we propose a new type of VLC multiplexing system, which realizes end-edge data transmission through pulse position modulation (PPM), pulse width modulation (PWM), and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) simultaneously. Therefore, one edge server can serve multiple types of end-users without interference. In order to evaluate the performance of the system, we conduct experiments with different settings of communication distance, communication angle, and different environmental light conditions. For three modulations, the proposed system can achieve a transmission speed three times as that for a single modulation, and reach the accuracy rate of up to 99% within the proper communication range.

The paper presents the results of simulation of the process of video data transmission from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to a ground station using the IEEE 802.11 family standards (802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax), with the ability to change modulation indices, coding schemes and data transfer rate in a network simulator NS-3. The aim of the work is to analyze the characteristics of the quality of video data transmission in the UAV network for various Wi-Fi standards, which allows determining the most suitable standard for the transmission of video data in the UAV network, depending on the distances between nodes and the required frequency band. A scenario is considered in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hovering in the air was transmitting a video stream to a ground station, while the distance between nodes increased, and the transmission rate was maintained at the same level close to the transmission rate of the real video stream. The simulation was carried out in several stages for a more detailed study of the dependence of the packet loss of the transmitted data on the change in modulation indices, coding schemes and other parameters. Based on the simulation results, the characteristics of the video data transmission quality were obtained as a relation between the Packet delivery rate (PDR) and distance between nodes for different transmission parameters for each considered standard of the IEEE 802.11 family. Based on the results obtained, conclusions were drawn about the influence of transmission parameters on the quality of service characteristics. The study was carried out in an open-source network simulator NS-3, which implements build-in libraries that are necessary for high-quality simulation of data streaming transmission and allows you to set a wide range of parameters to obtain realistic results. The results of the work may be of interest to UAV manufacturers when planning missions in which the choice of Wi-Fi standard used as a channel for transmitting video data is crucial.

In recent years, with the development of communication technology, embedded computing technology and sensor technology, it has become increasingly mature. Micro sensors with sensing, computing and communication capabilities have appeared in large numbers and developed rapidly, making wireless sensor networks widely used. People put forward higher requirements for the accuracy, reliability and flexibility of the image acquisition system. The image transmission system using analog technology not only has low image quality, but also has a serious waste of system resources, is not easy to form a complex network structure, and has poor functional scalability. In view of the actual needs of the current image acquisition and wireless transmission system, based on embedded technology, image acquisition, processing technology and network transmission technology, this paper proposes and designs a low-cost, high-reliability embedded image acquisition and wireless transmission system. Experimental tests show that this system has reasonable design, high video coding efficiency, good image continuity, stable operation, and basically realizes the display, storage and playback functions of the collected video data. Improve the transmission rate of the system and reduce the distortion caused by compression in terms of image compression. At the same time, it supports multiple image resolutions, frame rate options and multiple video formats, and the system’s transmission rate can adapt to the state of the network. This design fulfills the basic requirements of an embedded image acquisition system based on network technology, and provides a good foundation for the next development of a gigabit network-based image acquisition system.

A new approach to microlaryngeal surgery using a specially designed video microlaryngoscope with a rigid endoscopic telescope and an attached video camera was introduced by Kantor et al in 1990. The ability to video document and perform surgery of the larynx by viewing a high-resolution television image was demonstrated. This method was recommended over the standard microscopic technique for increased visibility with greater depth of field, unimpeded instrument access, instant documentation, and superior teaching value. The authors tried this new method and the standard microscopic technique at the same sitting on a series of patients. This paper will compare these two different techniques and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Although the new method has many advantages, the standard microscopic technique remains as a valuable method in laryngeal surgery.

The system of intellectual lighting data transmission via visible light is developed and manufactured. Spectral characteristics of a downlink which uses the red crystal of a RGBW light emitting diode for data transfer were studied. The DALI protocol-based radiation chromaticity control system which allows us to set different lighting scenarios with constant data transmission rate was developed. The radiation chromaticity range covers almost the entire colour gamut in the colour space. The system of high-frequency matching of system component impedances was developed and frequency characteristics of the suggested scheme were studied for development of the system. Optimal parameters of the signal for visual light communication such as carrier frequency, modulation type and band were determined. Observation of the constellation diagram which represents different values of the complex amplitude of the keyed signal in the form of a complex number on a quadrature plane (cosine and sine components of the carrying signal) and of fixation of the amplitude of the error vector magnitude (EVM) was selected as a method of study of the transmission channel quality. The value of EVM in the visible light transmission channel was significantly lower for signals with amplitude modulation than for phase-manipulated signals. When implementing different lighting change scenarios, radiation of other crystals of the light emitting diode crystals not used for transmission did not lead to increase of EVM by more than one percent.

Решению вопросов, связанных с телекоммуникационным оборудованием, функционирующем в водной среде, в настоящее время уделяется особое внимание. На смену традиционным подводным системам обмена информацией в гидроакустических полях приходят открытые системы её оптической передачи и приёма, базирующиеся на лазерных технологиях. Это вызвано необходимостью трансляции с высокой разрешающей способностью видеоданных, среди которых, например, может быть либо визуальное отображение подводных систем в динамике, либо результаты мониторинга объектов подводной инфраструктуры в реальном масштабе времени, либо что-то другое с учётом требований Заказчика. Канал передачи такого большого объёма информации при условии ее считывания с задаваемым качеством должен иметь пропускную способность более 1 Мбит/с. Такую высокую скорость передачи невозможно реализовать в подводных гидроакустических системах, граница технических возможностей которых на превышает 10...50 кбит/с. В аналогичной ситуации при заданных параметрах канала связи частоты несущих оптического диапазона имеют порядок 1014 Гц, что обеспечивает динамический диапазон полосы пропускания в районе 1012…1013 Гц. С учётом условия квазимонохроматичности применение гидроакустических средств для передачи видеоданных становится проблематичным, так как техническая реализация такой задачи потребует слишком большого времени. С учётом сказанного, преимуществом подводных беспроводных оптических систем связи является их высокая широкополосность, которая обеспечит высокую скорость передачи данных. В статье обосновывается целесообразность использования открытых оптических системы связи для создания высокоскоростных подводных инфотелекоммуникаций, среди которых наиболее предпочтительными являются лазерные системы. Special attention is currently paid to the solution of issues related to telecommunication equipment operating in the aquatic environment. The traditional underwater systems for the exchange of information in hydroacoustic fields are being replaced by open systems for its optical transmission and reception, based on laser technologies.This is due to the need to broadcast high-resolution video data, among which, for example, there can be either a visual display of underwater systems in dynamics, or the results of monitoring objects of underwater infrastructure in real time, or something else, taking into account the requirements of the Customer. The transmission channel of such a large amount of information, provided it is read with a specified quality, must have a bandwidth of more than 1 Mbit / s. Such a high transmission rate cannot be realized in underwater sonar systems, the technical capabilities limit of which does not exceed 10 ... 50 kbit/s. In a similar situation, given the parameters of the communication channel, the carrier frequencies of the optical range are 1014 Hz, which provides a dynamic bandwidth range about 1012…1013Hz. Taking into account the condition of quasimonochromaticity, the use of hydroacoustic means for transmitting video data becomes problematic, since the technical implementation of such a task will take too long. In view of the above, the advantage of underwater wireless optical communication systems is their high broadband, which will provide a high data transfer rate. The article substantiates the expediency of using open optical communication systems for creating high-speed underwater information telecommunications, among which the most preferable are laser systems.

The high level of heterogeneity in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the lack of systematic measurements complicate predicting outcomes of early intervention and the identification of better-tailored treatment programs. Computational phenotyping may assist therapists in monitoring child behavior through quantitative measures and personalizing the intervention based on individual characteristics; still, real-world behavioral analysis is an ongoing challenge. For this purpose, we designed EYE-C, a system based on OpenPose and Gaze360 for fine-grained analysis of eye-contact episodes in unconstrained therapist-child interactions via a single video camera. The model was validated on video data varying in resolution and setting, achieving promising performance. We further tested EYE-C on a clinical sample of 62 preschoolers with ASD for spectrum stratification based on eye-contact features and age. By unsupervised clustering, three distinct sub-groups were identified, differentiated by eye-contact dynamics and a specific clinical phenotype. Overall, this study highlights the potential of Artificial Intelligence in categorizing atypical behavior and providing translational solutions that might assist clinical practice.
