The paper investigates a problem of increasing convergence rate for the process of adaptive weight vector adjustment in spatially reconfigurable antenna systems on the background of point-source interferences. It is shown that pre-processing with adjustment of adaptive antenna array element spacing gives the capability to reduce considerably eigenvalues spread of spatial correlation matrix and to obtain faster convergence of gradient adaptation algorithm.

The technology convergence and the evolution of embedded systems to multi/many-core architectures allow envisioning future cameras as many-core systems able to process complex Image Processing and Computer Vision (IP/CV) applications. IP/CV algorithms have natural parallelism which must be efficiently explored to meet embedded application's constraints (real-time, power consumption, silicon area, temperature management, fault tolerance, and so on). In the case of many-core architectures, the efficiency comes not only from the number and type of processing cores but how they communicate and how the memory is organized. In this work, we show a multi-level parallelism study of IP/CV algorithms/applications, analyzing how to explore the different features available in many-core architecture's design space. The analysis is performed using a high-level SystemC/TLM2.0 platform specially developed for this task. As results, we propose a hierarchical parallelism extraction, a transparent programming model and a many-core architecture template for the next generation of vision processors.

Using information about objects of surround environment is a good way not only for detecting obstacles but also for estimation of relative translation. Hight-speed lidars provide a lot of information for performing this tasks. But matching one scan to another in some cases lead to different problems. In this paper we describe the solution for building occupancy maps, aligning one scan with another using only information from lidar and processing all data in the real-time using GPU.

We consider practical aspects of lossy compression with application to multispectral images provided by Landsat sensor. Two facts are taken into account: 1) the inherent noise presence and its properties; 2) rather high degree of component correlation. These properties in different degree are used in 2D and 3D lossy compression. Comparison of the suggested approaches has been carried out for some compression ratios. It is demonstrated that 3D-compression using techniques based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) can provide some benefits but only under condition of proper grouping of sub-band images.

Although the acceleration is physically related to the displacement of an object, i.e., to its change of position, it is demonstrated that the double integration of the acceleration does not provide accurate information about the displacement, due to the noise and measurement errors. This paper evaluates a correction technique based on the Kalman filter in order to increase the accuracy of the estimation of the displacement. Experiments were performed by acquiring the acceleration with an off-the-shelf accelerometer: the percentage error made by simply integrating the acceleration measurements may arrive to 68% in the general case of a movement in the space, but it can be dramatically reduced to 9% with the proposed approach. An even better behavior is obtained when the movement is constrained to a plane or along an axis.

The complexity and heterogeneity of “big data” sets in health systems are difficult to process using common database management tools or traditional processing applications. Stimulated by the promising solutions of Semantic Web for addressing the problems of management and monitoring of services shared by different parties, the service-oriented transformations over medical big data are today a rapidly growing demand in almost all sectors and areas. The originality of our paper is in the use of ontologies to bridge this gap between the “open” SOA and “closed” medical and social domains by leveraging ontologies' features to precisely and formally define a domain and yet allow for sharing domain knowledge between collaborating parties. Moreover, in this paper, we used the proven software engineering practices based on different intelligent reasoning data mining methods and techniques in order to develop advanced model of automatic processing and SOA configuration representing sophisticated services for predictions and recommendations based on historical medical and social data.
