DNN implementation and deployment is quite a challenge within a resource constrained environment on real-time embedded platforms. To attain the goal of DNN tailor made architecture deployment on a real-time embedded platform with limited hardware resources (low computational and memory resources) in comparison to a CPU or GPU based system, High Performance SqueezeNext (HPS) architecture…

Various applications have helped make vehicular Ad-hoc network communication a reality. Real-time applications, for example, need broadcasting in high video quality with minimal latency. The new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has shown great promise for real-time video transmission through Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks due to its high compression level. These networks, on the other hand, have…

The Conv-TasNet and Demucs algorithms, can differentiate between two mixed signals, such as music and speech, the mixing operation proceed without any support information. The network of convolutional time-domain audio separations is used in Conv-TasNet algorithm, while there is a new waveform-to-waveform model in Demucs algorithm. The Demucs algorithm utilizes a procedure like the audio…

To effectively implement the social distancing or digital contact tracing in epidemic using an RSSI-based localization approach through Bluetooth beacon is one of the most widely used technologies, but simply using RSSI measurement is not more relevant because the RF signal is affected by several factors and the environment of usage. Traditional distance or positioning…

Air Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs) whether implemented on the ground or in space and the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system need to be checked in flight to ensure compliance with the standards set by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This activity has been carried out for decades by conventional aircraft and is usually done at…

Face Recognition (FR) is considered as a heavily studied topic in computer vision field. The capability to automatically identify and authenticate human’s faces using real-time images is an important aspect in surveillance, security, and other related domains. There are separate applications that help in identifying individuals at specific locations which help in detecting intruders. The…

Distraction, drowsiness, and fatigue are the main factors of car accidents recently. To solve such problems, an Eye-tracking system based on camera is proposed in this paper. The system detects the driver’s Distraction or sleepiness and gives an alert to the driver as an assistance system. The camera best position is chosen to be on…

This paper describes a system to gather information from a stationary camera to identify moving objects. The proposed solution makes only use of motion vectors between adjacent frames, obtained from any algorithm. Starting from them, the system is able to retrieve clusters of moving objects in a scene acquired by an image sensor device. Since…

This paper extends some of our research results disseminated in the most recent awarded international conference paper concerning the implementation in real time of a sliding mode observer state estimator. For the same case study developed in the conference paper, more precisely a DC servomotor angular speed control system, we extend the proposed concept of…

Worldwide, the epidemiological situation is constantly changing and with the exponential increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, the number of health care workers has decreased significantly and this is due to the direct and daily contact of patients. One of the major challenges of the last few months is to prevent the spread…

The article is devoted to the formalization and development of the theory of sequential experimental design for optimal identification of dynamic objects. The algorithmic and technical support for a system of sequential D-optimal identification for a wide class of dynamic objects in real time is considered. This system is universal and can be used for…

The evolution of technology has changed the face of education, especially when combined with appropriate pedagogical bases. This combination has created innovation opportunities in order to add quality to teaching through new perspectives for traditional methods applied in the classroom. In the Health field, particularly, augmented reality and interaction design techniques can assist the teacher…

Heart rate (HR) is a critical indicator in fitness monitoring, athletic performance evaluation, and injury prevention. However, traditional motion-sensitive wearable devices are highly susceptible to movement artifacts, which degrade measurement accuracy during physical activity. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) offers a non-contact alternative for HR measurement, though it too remains sensitive to motion. This study proposes a…

The present work develops an estimator for thermal conductivity using a simple exper- iment implemented in a simulated solid metallic bar. The bar is sectioned in a finite number of segments, lately called nodes, and a discretization of the Fourier heat equation is applied in each node to generate a timed-spaced model of the temperature…

Internet addiction (IA) has adverse effects on psychophysiological responses, interpersonal relationships, and academic and occupational performance. IA detection has received increasing attention. Although questionnaires enable long-term assessment (over 6 months) and physiological measurements to aid the short-term evaluation (over 2 min) of IA, the lack of algorithms results in an inability to detect IA in…

With the advent of Big Data, we are witnessing a rapid and varied production of huge amounts of sequential data that can have multiple dimensions, we speak of data streams. The characteristics of these data streams make their processing and storage very difficult and at the same time reduce the possibilities of querying them a…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

Many recent studies on autonomous driving have focused on model-based control. A number of studies has addressed that simple models such as the Kinematic Bicycle Model are easier to design controls for autonomous driving systems. However, such a simple vehicle model has a weakness in that it is subject to modeling errors. This is because…

The research objective consists in finding the most accurate cars detection method, for determining of vacant parking slots and updating them on application web page. Beside the technical…

Soil moisture is a fundamental factor for smart farming that is used to control the water management system. In this paper, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) small cell (UAV-SC) can provide Internet of things (IoT) as the hotspot mobility network, due to the minimum limitation energy of connected IoT. The development of ground sensor (GS)…

This paper presents a collaborative interaction model (CIAO) and several behaviour rules that could enhance brainstorming results. The model is composed of five elements which may be used during brainstorming sessions, consisting of activities performed by partici- pants which are characteristic of different modes of interaction. Some sequences of these interactions may be considered more…

We then use Bootstrapping technique to make the scheme Fully Homomorphic (FH) and supports unbounded number of circuit depth. In addition to its homomorphic properties and security level, a main characteristic of the proposed new scheme is its…

Collision risk index has been studied as the required quantitative values for decision-making of collision avoidance between ships. Recently, inference methods of the collision risk were proposed on the basis of the fuzzy theory because of being possible to collect data in real time. Existing fuzzy inference system was composed of only simulation results using…
