Registration algorithm based on image matching for outdoor AR system with fixed viewing position

An image registration method based on the Fourier-Mellin transform is introduced for an outdoor augmented reality (AR) system. For this type of AR system, the observation position is fixed, and a complex 3-D registration problem can be reduced to a 2-D image registration for this fixed viewing position system. An observation globe model for this method is proposed. Under this supposition, a Fourier-Mellin transform is used in image registration, and the architecture of this system is illustrated. Experimental results show that this image registration algorithm is accurate and robust. It is effective for an outdoor AR system with a fixed viewing position.     

Sequence error probability lower bounds for joint detection and estimation

A commonly used lower bound on the probability of error of joint detection and estimation (JDE) algorithms is derived under the assumption that estimation is performed using the transmitted sequence, in a genie-aided fashion. Although it seems reasonable that this genie-aided receiver performs better than the original receiver, a proof of this fact is not available in the literature. In this letter, the validity of this bound is established for a general class of JDE algorithms, as well as for an important special case when the maximum-likelihood sequence detection criterion is used. The results are then extended to a well-known suboptimal JDE algorithm, namely, the T-algorithm. It is shown, however, that the technique used to prove this bound is not sufficient for establishing the validity of the bound for the M-algorithm and the per-survivor processing algorithm.

Development of Ultrasensitive Terahertz ESR Spectroscopy for Metalloprotein Using a Microcantilever

In this article, we report a novel method for ultrasensitive high-frequency electron spin resonance (HFESR) using a microcantilever. With this method, a field-gradient force exerting on a sample-holding cantilever is detected as cantilever displacement. A unique feature of this method is that a very tiny sample (~1 µg) is sufficient for HFESR measurement in the terahertz region. Thus, the application of this method to metalloprotein is expected to be of particular interest in the future. In this study, we developed two types of HFESR techniques: one for fiber-optic detection and the other for piezoresistive detection. We applied these techniques to multi-frequency HFESR measurements of metal-containing porphyrin compounds as a model metalloprotein substance and evaluated the sensitivity and feasibility of each technique.     

Special hardware for computing the probability of undetected errorfor certain binary CRC codes and test results

A hardware device for efficiently evaluating the probability of undetected error for a class of CRC error detection codes with a large number of parity check digits is described. The generator polynomial for the codes in this class are of the form g(x)=(1+x)p(x) where p(x) is a primitive irreducible polynomial. The degree of g(x), R, is the number of parity check digits. Using this hardware, a search was conducted for codes in this class (for 8⩽R⩽39) which are “proper” for shortened block lengths. A table of codes satisfying this condition is included     

Delta-I noise specification for a high-performance computing machine

The design rule formulation for the switching noise containment in a high-performance machine is presented in this paper. This design rule is expressed as an algebraic inequality and condenses the information on the generation and propagation of the switching noise in a multichip carrier to a form that is directly usable for the logic design of a computing machine. The statistics associated with the two quantities essential for the rule derivation, namely, noise generation and noise tolerance, are explained. The methodology necessary for the development of this rule is also described. The experimental procedure used for the verification of this methodology is highlighted.

Adaptive Multipath Cancellation for Digital Data Communications

In this paper, an adaptive spectral equalization technique is developed for multipath cancellation, and more generally for any minimum-phase distortion, which is implemented by a constrained form of adaptive linear prediction. The technique does not use decisiondirected feedback, has guaranteed convergence and stability, and is simple to realize using conventional circuit technology. Binary amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) is considered as an example of the technique, and the theoretical performance characteristics are derived for a bandlimited pulse shape. Experimental results are also presented for an operational real-time processing system which has been developed for this application and are shown to conform favorably to theory. The analytic and experimental results presented in this paper clearly indicate the usefulness of this concept for a single multipath channel, yielding a performance advantage of between 5 and 20 dB. Particularly significant is the potential of this adaptive technique to acquire and track the multipath without any a priori knowledge of the specific parameters.     

The Signal Passing Interface and Its Application to Embedded Implementation of Smart Camera Applications

Embedded smart camera systems comprise computation- and resource-hungry applications implemented on small, complex but resource-hardy platforms. Efficient implementation of such applications can benefit significantly from parallelization. However, communication between different processing units is a nontrivial task. In addition, new and emerging distributed smart cameras require efficient methods of communication for optimized distributed implementations. In this paper, a novel communication interface, called the signal passing interface (SPI), is presented that attempts to overcome this challenge by integrating relevant properties of two different, yet important, paradigms in this context—dataflow and message passing interface (MPI). Dataflow is a widely used modeling paradigm for signal processing applications, while MPI is an established communication interface in the general-purpose processor community. SPI is targeted toward computation-intensive signal processing applications, and due to its careful specialization, more performance-efficient for embedded implementation in this domain. SPI is also much easier and more intuitive to use. In this paper, successful application of this communication interface to two smart camera applications has been presented in detail to validate a new methodology for efficient distributed implementation for this domain.      

A Nonlinear Wave Metric and its CNN Implementation for Object Classification

In this paper a nonlinear wave metric is introduced for object classification. It is shown that the choice of a metric is a nontrivial problem since it is easy to give examples when well-known distance measures, such as Hamming, Hausdorff, and Nonlinear Hausdorff metrics are completely inadequate for this classification. As an alternative a generalized theorem is proposed that includes the previous metrics as special cases. It is based on nonlinear wave propagation and defines a computational framework that is well-suited for parallel array processors. In this study we investigate different Cellular Neural Network (CNN) architectures and solutions for the proposed metric and analyze its VLSI implementation complexity.     

Natural Harmonic Elimination of Square-Wave Inverter for Medium-Voltage Application

In this paper, a low-frequency square-wave inverter with a series-connected pulsewidth modulation (PWM) inverter is investigated for high-power applications. The series compensators produce only the desired harmonic voltages to make the net output voltage sinusoidal with small PWM switching harmonics only. An open-loop control strategy for the series compensator is proposed in this paper. This strategy indirectly sets the compensator DC bus voltage to the desired level. No external DC source or active power at fundamental frequency is required to control this dc bus voltage. Different variations of this basic strategy are presented in this paper for medium-voltage applications. Theoretical analysis of this strategy is presented in this paper with simulation and experimental results.

New insights in the relation between electron trap generation andthe statistical properties of oxide breakdown

In this paper it is demonstrated in a wide stress field range that breakdown in thin oxide layers occurs as soon as a critical density of neutral electron traps in the oxide is reached. It is proven that this corresponds to a critical hole fluence, since a unique relationship between electron trap generation and hole fluence is found independent of stress field and oxide thickness. In this way literature models relating breakdown to hole fluence or to trap generation are linked. A new model for intrinsic breakdown, based on a percolation concept, is proposed. It is shown that this model can explain the experimentally observed statistical features of the breakdown distribution, such as the increasing spread of the Q_BD-distribution for ultrathin oxides. An important consequence of this large spread is the strong area dependence of the Q_BD for ultrathin oxides

Scattering from a large body with cracks and cavities by the fast and accurate finite-element boundary-integral method

A large body with cracks and cavities is a typical structure widely existing in realistic targets. In this paper, a newly developed fast and accurate finite-element boundary-integral (FA-FE-BI) method is applied to compute scattering by this kind of scatterer. A thorough analysis on this FA-FE-BI numerical technique is presented, clearly demonstrating that this technique has computational complexity O(N log N) and memory requirement O(N) (N is the total number of surface unknowns). An inward-looking approach is employed as a preconditioner to speed up the rate of convergence of iterative solvers for this structure. Under these techniques, a powerful code is developed for this kind of scatterer whose accuracy, efficiency, and capability is well confirmed by various numerical results.

Use of Surface Haze for Evaluation of Photoresist Residue Removal Efficiency

A new method for the fast evaluation of photoresist residue removal efficiency is discussed in this paper. In this method “haze” which is the low-frequency component of the background signal of a light scattering instrument is mapped over the entire wafer. Since the background signal is sensitive to any kind of surface anomaly, it can be used as a metrology for any kind of surface roughness or residues. The goal of this paper is to devise a fast and cheap screening method for photoresist residue removal efficiency. Using this method we show that cleaning solutions can be easily screened for their residue removal efficiencies based on the haze signal of the light scattering instrument.      

An iterative code construction and codes generated by permutations for the asymmetric multiple-access channel (Corresp.)

It is shown that for an asymmetric multiple-access channel, it is possible, starting with one codeword at each of the encoders, to add the codewords for one message at a time (first for the elements in the set of private messages and thereafter for the messages in the set of common messages) and to construct this way, iteratively, a code for this channel with the average error probability upper-bounded by an exponentially small quantity. Using this result, it is subsequently shown that a code for the asymmetric multiple-access channel can also be generated by only. a few (linear in the block length) permutations, still keeping the average error probability upper-bounded by the same error bound and in this way gaining storage space.
