Color and texture analysis using emerging parallel architectures
(SAGE Publications, 2011-11)
While image texture is effective for use in pattern-recognition and image-analysis algorithms, textural features are time-consuming to calculate on standard CPUs. Therefore, we present novel implementations of textural-feature ...
Evaluating the computational performance of the Xilinx Ultrascale plus EG Heterogeneous MPSoC
(Springer, 2020-06-06)
The emergent technology of Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), which combines heterogeneous computing with the high performance of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a very interesting platform for a huge number ...
Multimodal Sensor Data Integration for Indoor Positioning in Ambient-Assisted Living Environments
(Hindawi, 2020)
A reliable Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is a crucial part of the Ambient-Assisted Living (AAL) concept. The use of Wi-Fi fingerprinting techniques to determine the location of the user, based on the Received Signal ...
Distance and orientation estimation of graspable objects in natural and artificial systems
(Elsevier, 2009)
Being able to estimate pose and location of nearby objects is a fundamental skill for any natural or artificial agent actively interacting with its environment. The methods for extraction and integration of visual cues ...
Generalized least squares-based parametric motion estimation
(Elsevier, 2009)
The estimation of parametric global motion had a significant attention during the last two decades, but despite the great efforts invested, there are still open issues. The most important ones are related to the accuracy ...
Hierarchical approach for deriving a reproducible unblocked LU factorization
(Sage, 2019-03-17)
We propose a reproducible variant of the unblocked LU factorization for graphics processor units (GPUs). For this purpose, we build upon Level-1/2 BLAS kernels that deliver correctly-rounded and reproducible results for ...
ROSLab Sharing ROS Code Interactively With Docker and JupyterLab
(IEEE, 2019-07-15)
The success of the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the advance of open source ideas have radically changed and improved the experience of sharing software among members of the robotics community. Yet the lack of a suitable ...
A document clustering algorithm for discovering and describing topics
(Elsevier, 2010)
In this paper, we introduce a new clustering algorithm for discovering and describing the topics comprised in a text collection. Our proposal relies on both the most probable term pairs generated from the collection and ...
A Biologically Inspired Approach for Robot Depth Estimation
(Hindawi, 2018)
Aimed at building autonomous service robots, reasoning, perception, and action should be properly integrated. In this paper, the depth cue has been analysed as an early stage given its importance for robotic tasks. So, ...
A reconfigurable platform for evaluating the performance of QoS networks
(Elsevier, 2010)
Nowadays, high performance System and Local Area Networks (SAN/LAN) have to serve heterogeneous traffic consisting of information flows with different bandwidth and latency requirements. This makes it necessary to provide ...
