Современные интеллектуальные видеосистемы наблюдения стали все больше акцентироваться на передачу в реальном времени высококачественного видео различных важных событий, в том числе чрезвычайных ситуаций. Для высокопроизводительных систем передачи видеоинформации нового поколения необходимы эффективные структурные решения, способные как к высокой скорости передачи, так и к высокой точности вычисления. Такие структуры должны обрабатывать огромные последовательности изображений, при этом каждый видеопоток должен характеризоваться высоким разрешением с минимальным шумом и искажениями, потребляя при этом как можно меньше мощности. Спектральные алгоритмы обработки видеоинформации являются наиболее распространенным способом передачи в реальном времени, в частности дискретное косинусное преобразование. При этом исходное изображение подвергается преобразованию из пространственной в частотную область с целью сжатия путём уменьшения или устранения избыточности визуальных данных. Неявное вычисление преобразования последовательности 8-точечного массива приводит к эффективному сжатию, требующему не более пятикратного выполнения операции умножения. В статье предложены архитектура с низкой структурой сложности и метод преобразования изображений на основе алгебры целых чисел. Modern intelligent video surveillance systems have become increasingly focused on real-time transmission of high-quality video of various important events, including emergencies. For high-performance video information transmission systems of the new generation, efficient structural solutions are needed that are capable of both high transmission speed and high calculation accuracy. Such structures must process huge sequences of images, and each video stream must be characterized by high resolution and with minimal noise and distortion, while consuming as little power as possible. Spectral algorithms for processing video information are the most common method of transmission in real time, in particular the discrete cosine transform. In this case, the original image is transformed from the spatial to the frequency domain in order to compress by reducing or eliminating the redundancy of visual data. Implicitly calculating the sequence transformation of an 8-point array results in efficient compression, requiring no more than five times the multiplication operation. In this paper, we propose an architecture with a low complexity structure and image transformation method based on the algebra of integers

Three-dimensional (3-D) high speed photography was used to record the overarm throwing actions of five open-age, four 18-year-old, six 16-year- old, and six 14-year-old high-performance baseball catchers. The direct linear transformation method was used for 3-D space reconstruction from 2-D images of the catchers throwing from home plate to second base recorded using two phase-locked cameras operating at a nominal rate of 200 Hz. Selected physical capacity measures were also recorded and correlated with ball release speed. In general, anthropometric and strength measures significantly increased through the 14-year-old to open-age classifications, while a range of correlation coefficients from .50 to .84 was recorded between these physical capacities and ball speed at release. While many aspects of the kinematic data at release were similar, the key factors of release angle and release speed varied for the different age groups.

The stochastic environmental conditions together with craft design and operational characteristics make it difficult to predict the vibration environments aboard high-performance marine craft, particularly the risk of impact acceleration events and the shock component of the exposure often being associated with structural failure and human injuries. The different timescales and the magnitudes involved complicate the real-time analysis of vibration and shock conditions aboard these craft. The article introduces a new measure, severity index, indicating the risk of severe impact acceleration, and proposes a method for real-time feedback on the severity of impact exposure together with accumulated vibration exposure. The method analyzes the immediate 60 s of vibration exposure history and computes the severity of impact exposure as for the present state based on severity index. The severity index probes the characteristic of the present acceleration stochastic process, that is, the risk of an upcoming heavy impact, and serves as an alert to the crew. The accumulated vibration exposure, important for mapping and logging the crew exposure, is determined by the ISO 2631:1997 vibration dose value. The severity due to the impact and accumulated vibration exposure is communicated to the crew every second as a color-coded indicator: green, yellow and red, representing low, medium and high, based on defined impact and dose limits. The severity index and feedback method are developed and validated by a data set of 27 three-hour simulations of a planning craft in irregular waves and verified for its feasibility in real-world applications by full-scale acceleration data recorded aboard high-speed planing craft in operation.

Big Data Technologies are well-accepted in the recent years in bio-medical and genome informatics. They are capable to process gigantic and heterogeneous genome information with good precision and recall. With the quick advancements in computation and storage technologies, the cost of acquiring and processing the genomic data has decreased significantly. The upcoming sequencing platforms will produce vast amount of data, which will imperatively require high-performance systems for on-demand analysis with time-bound efficiency. Recent bio-informatics tools are capable of utilizing the novel features of Hadoop in a more flexible way. In particular, big data technologies such as MapReduce and Hive are able to provide high-speed computational environment for the analysis of petabyte scale datasets. This has attracted the focus of bio-scientists to use the big data applications to automate the entire genome analysis. The proposed framework is designed over MapReduce and Java on extended Hadoop platform to achieve the parallelism of Big Data Analysis. It will assist the bioinformatics community by providing a comprehensive solution for Descriptive, Comparative, Exploratory, Inferential, Predictive and Causal Analysis on Genome data. The proposed framework is user-friendly, fully-customizable, scalable and fit for comprehensive real-time genome analysis from data acquisition till predictive sequence analysis.

Abstract Safe trajectory planning for high-performance automated vehicles in an environment with both static and moving obstacles is a challenging problem. Part of the challenge is developing a formulation that can be solved in real-time while including the following set of specifications: minimum time-to-goal, a dynamic vehicle model, minimum control effort, both static and moving obstacle avoidance, simultaneous optimization of speed and steering, and a short execution horizon. This paper presents a nonlinear model predictive control-based trajectory planning formulation, tailored for a large, high-speed unmanned ground vehicle, that includes the above set of specifications. The ability to solve this formulation in real-time is evaluated using NLOptControl, an open-source, direct-collocation based, optimal control problem solver in conjunction with the KNITRO nonlinear programming problem solver. The formulation is tested with various sets of the specifications. A parametric study relating execution horizon and obstacle speed indicates that the moving obstacle avoidance specification is not needed for safety when the planner has a small execution horizon and the obstacles are moving slowly. However, a moving obstacle avoidance specification is needed when the obstacles are moving faster, and this specification improves the overall safety without, in most cases, increasing the solve-times. The results indicate that (i) safe trajectory planners for high-performance automated vehicles should include the entire set of specifications mentioned above, unless a static or low-speed environment permits a less comprehensive planner; and (ii) the resulting formulation can be solved in real-time.

We present the design and implementation of a high performance layered video codec, designed for deployment in bandwidth heterogeneous networks. The codec combines wavelet based subband decomposition and discrete cosine transforms to facilitate layered spatial and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) coding for bit-rate adaptation to a wide range of receiver capabilities. We show how a test video stream can be partitioned into several distinct layers of increasing visual quality and bandwidth requirements, with the difference between highest and lowest requirement being 47 : 1. Through the use of the Visual Instruction Set on SUN's Ultra-SPARC platform we demonstrate how SIMD parallel image processing enables real-time layered encoding and decoding in software. Our 384 * 320 * 24-bit test video stream is partitioned into 21 layers at a speed of 39 frames per second and reconstructed at 28 frames per second. Our VIS accelerated encoder stages are about 3-4 times as fast as an optimized C version. We find that this speed-up is well worth the extra implementation effort.


In this paper is presented a novel area efficient Fast Fourier transform (FFT) for real-time compressive sensing (CS) reconstruction. Among various methodologies used for CS reconstruction algorithms, Greedy-based orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) approach provides better solution in terms of accurate implementation with complex computations overhead. Several computationally intensive arithmetic operations like complex matrix multiplication are required to formulate correlative vectors making this algorithm highly complex and power consuming hardware implementation. Computational complexity becomes very important especially in complex FFT models to meet different operational standards and system requirements. In general, for real time applications, FFT transforms are required for high speed computations as well as with least possible complexity overhead in order to support wide range of applications. This paper presents an hardware efficient FFT computation technique with twiddle factor normalization for correlation optimization in orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). Experimental results are provided to validate the performance metrics of the proposed normalization techniques against complexity and energy related issues. The proposed method is verified by FPGA synthesizer, and validated with appropriate currently available comparative analyzes.
