Chapter
Driving-related accidents and human casualties are on the rise in the US and around the globe (Brace et al. in Analysis of the literature: the use of mobile phones while driving, 2007). The US government spend...
Chapter
This chapter focusses on the development of a new image processing technique for the processing of large and complex images, especially SAR images. We propose here a new and effective approach that outperforms...
Chapter
Embedded smart cameras must provide enough computational power to handle complex image understanding algorithms on huge amount of data in-situ. In a distributed set-up, smart cameras must provide efficient com...
Chapter
In this chapter, we propose a design and verification environment for computational demanding and secure embedded vision-based systems. Starting with an executable specification in OpenCV, we provide subsequen...
Chapter
Dynamically partially reconfigurable architectures combine high performance and flexibility. They offer a novel possibility to dynamically load and execute hardware modules, previously only known for software ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Configurable on chip multiprocessor systems combine advantages of task-level parallelism and the flexibility of field-programmable devices to customize architectures for parallel programs, thereby alleviating ...
Article
Computer architects have been studying the dynamically reconfigurable computer (Schaumont, Verbauwhede, Keutzer, and Sarrafzadeh, “A Quick Safari through the Reconfiguration Jungle,” in Proc. of the 38th Design A...
