Real World Multicore Embedded Systems

The fundamental step for combining three-dimensional (3D) geometric data is registration, which is the process of aligning two or more images that capture the geometric structure of the same scene, but in their own relative coordinate frames, into a common coordinate frame. The images themselves can be obtained at different times and from different viewpoints, […]

High Performance Deformable Image Registration Algorithms

High Performance Deformable Image Registration Algorithms for Manycore Processors develops highly data-parallel image registration algorithms suitable for use on modern multi-core architectures, including graphics processing units (GPUs). Focusing on deformable registration, we show how to develop data-parallel versions of the registration algorithm suitable for execution on the GPU. Image registration is the process of aligning […]

Principles of Neural Coding

At a glance we perceive a face or a scene and construct rich representations, emotions, and memories. In a split of a second we can evaluate complex information and make decisions seemingly effortlessly. Our brain manages this and many other incredible feats, yet we still do not fully understand exactly how it does it. This […]

Granular Computing: Analysis and Design of Intelligent System

Undoubtedly, intelligent systems come with various connotations, exhibit different semantics, and imply numerous realizations. In spite of the existing diversity of views and opinions, there are several features that are quite profoundly visible across a broad spectrum of those systems. We anticipate that to some extent an intelligent system should be able to effectively communicate […]

Energy-Aware Memory Management for Embedded Multimedia

Digital systems had initially only one main design metric: performance. Other cost parameters such as area, energy consumption, or testability were regarded as design constraints. In the early nineties, the role of power consumption changed from that of a design constraint to an actual design metric. This shift occurred due to technological reasons: higher integration […]
