Motion Estimation (ME) is the most critical and complex part of any video codec system. The different algorithms and their architectures are proposed for ME process. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient architecture for Hexagon Based Search (HexBS) algorithm and implemented on XC4VSX25 Virtex4 FPGA. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture is capable of calculating the Motion Vectors (MVs) of 1280×720 High Definition (HD) videos with the best case throughput of 70 frames/sec. Moreover, the power and frequency requirements are 215mW and 127.27 MHz respectively for the proposed architecture with minimum hardware resources. Hence the proposed architecture is suitable for the real-time HD video applications.

Heartbeat information is a crucial indicator in the clinical detection of life parameters. Current mainstream methods used for detecting heartbeats are contact detection technologies. Noncontact detection refers to using external energy to detect human physiological environment changes without contacting the human body.

Peer-to-peer system is a promising solution to manage a large amount of data, but similarity search on peer-to-peer network with a restricted small number of messages is a challenging problem. Existing methods that can perform similarity search work only with low-dimensional data. We propose a method to transform the very high-dimensional data into low-dimensional vectors in order to perform similarity search.

A real-time handheld indoor positioning device is developed, featuring 2 novel perfectly complementary positioning methods: 1) RFID Heron-bilateration location estimation, based on external RFID infrastructure, and 2) IMU angular-driven navigation reckoning, based on internal IMU module. At first, 2 or multiples of 2 active RFID tags as infrastructure landmarks are deployed along the surrounding walls in a single indoor space or room. After the infrastructure landmarks are set up, the handheld indoor positioning device begins to connect to the Bluetooth-based RFID reader by pairing with Bluetooth ID of the RFID reader. Then, on the screen of the handheld indoor positioning device, red landmarks on the 2D indoor map represents pre-deployed active RFID tags. When moving, the targeted handheld indoor positioning device keeps estimating the relative location through external RFID infrastructure and keeps reckoning the inertial navigation through internal IMU module. Furthermore, this work proposes and develops Kalman-filter drift removal, linear-like RSSI-to-distance transformation, RFID Heron-bilateration location estimation, and IMU angular-driven navigation reckoning, to improve the accuracy and reliability of positioning. Finally, the screen of the handheld indoor positioning device can show the location and orientation indications of the targeted user on the 2D indoor map accurately and immediately.

Steganography is the science of secret data communication using carrier medium, such as images, videos, text, and networks. Image steganography is majorly divided into spatial and frequency domains. Pixel value differencing (PVD) considered as good steganographic algorithm due to its high payload and good visual perception in spatial domain. The purpose of this paper is two folded. First is the critical analysis of current PVD methods using evaluating parameters (payload, visual quality and resistance of attacks) and secondly it highlights the current promising directions on PVD steganographic research.

The current study describes a technique for reconstructing a three dimensional surface from multiple images of the (single camera) endoscopic video. A 3D shape of the scene in each image frame of the endoscopic video was reconstructed using shape from shading technique. The characteristic feature points on the 2D images were detected using SURF algorithm and the features were matched using BRIEF and Hamming distance criteria. The matched feature points between the consecutive frames were used to find the transformation matrix to align the 3D surfaces of the consecutive video frames. Using the transformation matrix, the 3D surfaces were stitched (registered) together. The method was applied on a recorded video of the laparoscopic surgery. The reconstructed surface provides a wider view and depth information to the viewers.

Live streaming services have been developed prosperously in recent years. With live streaming services, broadcasters broadcast their videos to attract large numbers of viewers to watch. Some live streaming services also provide a platform for viewers gathering together to watch channels and interact with others. Over hundreds of videos broadcast every day, recommending channels are necessary to help viewers finding channels of interests. In this paper, we propose the hybrid HITS algorithm for Channel Recommendation (HyHITS_CR) which adopts the HITS algorithm with modification to utilize the follower-followee relationship on channel recommendation. Besides, we also observe from real logs that some viewers may focus on few particular channels. Thus, HyHITS_CR also takes advantage on such observation to further improve the accuracy of recommendation. Experimental results show that the hit rate of HyHITS_CR is around 10% higher than other prior algorithms.

There are many outdoor vision applications such as surveillance and navigation. One of the challenges is rain removal, especially the rain removal from a single image. In this paper, a single rain image is divided into the high frequency part and the low frequency part by the Gaussian filter. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is used to remove the rain streaks in the low frequency part. Then, Canny edge detection is applied to deal with the rain in the high frequency and the block copy method is employed to preserve the image quality. After that, we applied a rain dictionary to further divide the high frequency into rain and non-rain parts. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the state-of-the-art methods, especially in the high frequency part.
