We present an extension of the graph theory analysis of encoding/decoding delay in multiview video coding schemes for hardware devices with limited processing capacity. With this, we provide a unified methodology for the analysis of multiview delay in device models with unlimited and limited processing capacity.

In this study, we discuss a layout of electrodes on a wrist for EMG measurements to recognize hand gestures. Experimental results show that the proposed layout uses only half of the electrodes, but suffers only about 3% drop in recognition rate compared with the conventional layout. Furthermore, we developed a television operating system based on hand gestures, using a wristband-type EMG device with the proposed electrode layout.

Due to no feedback process and simplicity in searching algorithm, conventional selected mapping (CSLM) is an efficient crest factor reduction (CFR) technique in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. However high number of inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) block is required to achieve the desired PAPR reduction performance. In this paper a PAPR reduction method based on N point radix-2 IFFT is proposed in which the number of IFFTs is reduced to one. The gist of the proposed method is based on storing a part of calculations and using them for the next searching operation results in elimination of the redundant calculations. Simulation results show at least 46.8% complexity reduction compared to CSLM by comparable PAPR performance.

A new method is proposed for monitoring miscellaneous and electronic loads (MELs) in a household. In this method, the current signal obtained at a main breaker or circuit level is disaggregated by detection of transients and classification of the waveforms. The classification is realized by probabilistic fusion of a harmonics-based classifier and a multivariate statistical technique. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

The autonomous self-watering flowerpot facilitates the daily routine of plant owners and works as an extended green thumb. Plants are often neglected at home, because their owners are not capable to offer them the necessary attention due to physical or mental problems or a lack of time. In consequence, the plants die and reduce the desire for a green, healthy environment. This paper examines the use of a capacitive sensor for measuring soil moisture as the basis for an optimal irrigation of plants with the aim to create a user friendly product.

In this paper, we present a new lane detection method based on vanishing point estimation. We first estimate the vanishing point with probabilistic voting using the line segment strength, then detect lanes by applying the flooding watershed algorithm.

In application of human computer interaction, modeling of human vision is an approach seems appropriate but has not yet been accomplished. The main contribution in this paper is proposing an intuitive system for human computer interaction by modeling human vision using human sight position and human body part position, as well as an evaluation method to estimate the characteristic of the proposed system.

This paper introduces a practical methodology to improve power integrity performance of the chip-package-PCB systems for smart TVs. For power integrity analysis, a chip, package and PCB are modeled as lumped element circuits for simplicity. Case studies are presented to optimize MLCC placement using chip-package-PCB co-simulation under fixed SoC design. In case studies, CPU power net of an application processor is chosen, and voltage droop is measured as a design weight on each physical domains. The introduced methodology is evaluated through experimental verifications.

Automatic speech recognition systems perform on acoustic speech signals and therefore they are unreliable in noisy environments. Visual speech features such as lip movements of a speaker can make the speech recognition system robust. To track the lip movements, lip contour extraction is a necessary step and plays a crucial role in the visual speech recognition. In this paper, we propose a new method for lip contour extraction using fuzzy clustering with elliptic shape information and active contour model. In this method, we combined both image and model based methods to improve the performance of lip contour extraction. Our proposed lip contour extraction method outperforms few of existing lip contour extraction methods. We applied our lip contour extraction method on 3600 lip images from VidTimit database and results are found better than the few existing lip contour extraction methods.

In this paper, we present a novel 3D interaction technique using a smartphone for large screen such as TV and projector screen. Using our 3D interaction technique, we could manipulate 3D objects in 3D environment with the virtual hand metaphor. Also, we evaluate the effects of various sensory inputs such as vibro-tactile, auditory and visual inputs. The result of the user study shows that visual feedback is not significantly different from combinations of other sensory feedbacks. Our 3D interaction method and the evaluation result can be applied to various areas including shopping and game.
