The thesis aimed to advance knowledge in decentralized detection in wireless sensor networks. It developed efficient algorithms for designing decision rules at sensors to minimize error probability. It proved conditions where balanced rate allocation is optimal and applied this to sensor network models. It also formulated decentralized detection problems for energy harvesting sensor networks, developing analytical bounds and numerical design methods. The work provided computational and theoretical advances for optimal inference in distributed sensing applications.
Outstanding advancements in imaging technology have made cryogenic electron microscopy a powerful technique for the nanocharacterization of biological macromolecular complexes, reaching atomic levels of resolution and being applicable to a wider set of samples than the other competing technologies. The real breakthrough in the development of cryo-EM has happened less than a decade ago, with the introduction of direct detection devices. These cameras allow unprecedented speed and resolution, and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is developing a new detector, the 4D cam- era, that can operate at 87000 frames per second, revealing exclusive temporal dynamics of the investigated processes.
The current bottlenecks of the 4D camera, however, are the management of the large amount of data generated (around 50 GB/s) and the intrinsic noise level characterizing the signal acquired at that speed. Yet, the high frame rate enables the recognition of single electrons when they strike the detector, as opposed to traditional electron microscopy, where the charge is cumulated for every frame. Electron counting has remarkable advantages since it completely rejects electrical background noise as well as the variability in the electron charge deposition phenomena and it dramatically compresses images by saving them as lists of events coordinates.
With this work, the counting efficiency of the algorithm is enhanced, through the introduction of a denoising step before thresholding out the background noise, rising the precision by 7.11% with respect to the reference implementation. Furthermore, the localization of the events is refined to allow super-resolution, and a classification step is added to reduce the is- sue of collision losses, caused by overlapping electrons. In the end, a 10000x compression ratio is achieved thanks to electron counting. A GPU acceleration of the final algorithm is also proposed, achieving, in the best case, a speed up of 284x. The timing performances of the developed tool, in fact, are crucial for its real time execution on the microscope output.
Ultimately, this work aims at enabling a more efficient data management between the microscopy center and the supercomputing facility, both involved in the data processing pipeline, by moving part of the computation towards the instrumentation and transferring only a compressed version of the datasets. The intelligent redistribution of workloads, in fact, removes the bottleneck in data transfer and grants the use of the microscope at its maximum frame rate.
This document discusses techniques for compressing web graph representations to reduce storage requirements. It begins by describing a naive representation that stores successor lists and offsets, taking up 288 bits per node. It then presents ideas for compression, including using variable-length coding for successors based on their expected distribution and exploiting the locality and similarity of web links. Specific coding techniques discussed include Golomb coding, Elias gamma and delta coding, k-bit variable coding, and differentiating successor lists based on gaps between nodes. The document analyzes how these techniques can compress the graph representation to around 10% of the original size by modeling the distributions of degrees, gaps between successors, and other values.
Image Compression using Combined Approach of EZW and LZWIJERA Editor
Image Processing is most popular and widely used technique. In this paper we had proposed a technique for image compression. Here the user can return the processed image to the original image without any loss. In this proposed technique the test images are processed through the image compression algorithm. Here we apply combined approach of EZW and LZW. This technique is implemented on different types of images like .bmp, .tiff,.dcm (medical images),binary images. Performance of the proposed technique can be evaluated compared to LBG techniques by the parameters like PSNR, Compression ratio and MSE

Adaptive Noise Cancellation using Multirate TechniquesIJERD Editor

This document proposes a new digital image encryption technique based on multi-scroll chaotic delay differential equations (DDEs). The technique uses a XOR operation between separated binary planes of a grayscale image and a shuffled attractor image from a DDE. Security keys include DDE parameters like initial conditions, time constants, and simulation time. Experimental results using a 512x512 Lena image in MATLAB demonstrate the DDE dynamics, encryption/decryption security through histograms, power spectrums, and image correlations. Wrong key decryption is also shown. The technique offers potential for simple yet secure image transmission applications.

Signal to-noise-ratio of signal acquisition in global navigation satellite sy...Alexander Decker
This document discusses signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements for global navigation satellite systems. It presents formulas to calculate SNR and a new ratio called noise-to-signal ratio (NSR). The effects of bit error rate and bit time on SNR and NSR are studied. As bit error rate and bit time increase, SNR decreases while NSR increases, indicating lower signal quality. Graphs show the relationships between SNR and both bit error rate and bit time, as well as between NSR and the two factors. Improving SNR and reducing NSR is important for better signal acquisition quality.
Estimating coverage holes and enhancing coverage in mixed sensor networks ormarwaeng
The document presents a collaborative algorithm (COVEN) for enhancing area coverage in mixed static and mobile sensor networks. It is a two-step process: 1) Using Voronoi diagrams, the static nodes deterministically estimate the exact amount of coverage holes after random deployment. 2) The static nodes then collaborate to estimate the number and optimal positions of additional mobile nodes needed to maximize coverage. Through simulation, COVEN aims to achieve a tradeoff between deployment cost and percentage of area covered.

A NOVEL BACKGROUND SUBTRACTION ALGORITHM FOR PERSON TRACKING BASED ON K-NN csandit
Object tracking can be defined as the process of detecting an object of interest from a video scene and keeping track of its motion, orientation, occlusion etc. in order to extract useful
information. It is indeed a challenging problem and it’s an important task. Many researchers are getting attracted in the field of computer vision, specifically the field of object tracking in video surveillance. The main purpose of this paper is to give to the reader information of the present state of the art object tracking, together with presenting steps involved in Background Subtraction and their techniques. In related literature we found three main methods of object tracking: the first method is the optical flow; the second is related to the background subtraction, which is divided into two types presented in this paper, and the last one is temporal
differencing. We present a novel approach to background subtraction that compare a current frame with the background model that we have set before, so we can classified each pixel of the image as a foreground or a background element, then comes the tracking step to present our object of interest, which is a person, by his centroid. The tracking step is divided into two different methods, the surface method and the K-NN method, both are explained in the paper.Our proposed method is implemented and evaluated using CAVIAR database.

Abstract:
State-of-the-art object detection systems rely on an accurate set of region proposals. Several recent methods use a neural network architecture to hypothesize promising object locations. While these approaches are computationally efficient, they rely on fixed image regions as anchors for predictions. In this paper we propose to use a search strategy that adaptively directs computational resources to sub-regions likely to contain objects. Compared to methods based on fixed anchor locations, our approach naturally adapts to cases where object instances are sparse and small. Our approach is comparable in terms of accuracy to the state-of-the-art Faster R-CNN approach while using two orders of magnitude fewer anchors on average. Code is publicly available.

In this paper, a new algorithm for a high resolution
Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation method for multiple
wideband signals is proposed. The proposed method proceeds
in two steps. In the first step, the received signals data is
decomposed in a Toeplitz form using the first-order statistics.
In the second step, The QR decomposition is applied on the
constructed Toeplitz matrix. Compared with existing schemes,
the proposed scheme provides several advantages. First, it
requires computing the triangular matrix R or the orthogonal
matrix Q to find the DOA; these matrices can be computed
with O(n2) operation. However, most of the existing schemes
required eignvalue decomposition (EVD) for the covariance
matrix or singular value decomposition (SVD) for the data
matrix; using EVD or SVD requires much more complex
computational O(n3) operation. Second, the proposed scheme
is more suitable for high-speed communication since it
requires first-order statistics and a single snapshot. Third,
the proposed scheme can estimate the correlated wideband
signals without using spatial smoothing techniques; whereas,
already-existing schemes do not. Accuracy of the proposed
wideband DOA estimation method is evaluated through
computer simulation in comparison with a conventional
method.

It presents the bandwidth-aware task scheduling (BATS) strategy to distribute localization computing tasks among sensors based on both their computational capabilities and local network conditions. Experimental results on a testbed of Tmote Sky sensors show that considering both computational load and network traffic leads to significant reductions in average job execution time compared to approaches that do not account for physical network conditions.
The document summarizes research on developing planning and control frameworks for communication-aware coordination of unmanned vehicle networks. It describes using an information-theoretic approach to optimize robot motion to maximize information gain over noisy communication links. Experimental results show decentralized algorithms allow vehicles to form optimal communication chains and relay networks by considering communication constraints. Field experiments demonstrate these approaches can improve tracking performance for heterogeneous teams of unmanned aircraft and vehicles operating in realistic communication environments.
A method to determine partial weight enumerator for linear block codesAlexander Decker
This document presents a method to determine partial weight enumerators (PWE) for linear block codes using the error impulse technique and Monte Carlo method. The PWE can be used to compute an upper bound on the error probability of the maximum likelihood decoder. As an application, the document provides PWEs and analytical performances of shortened BCH codes, including BCH(130,66), BCH(103,47), and BCH(111,55). The full weight distributions of these codes are unknown. The proposed method estimates the PWE by drawing random codewords and computing the recovery rate of known-weight codewords, obtaining the PWE within a confidence interval.

Signal Processing Algorithm of Space Time Coded Waveforms for Coherent MIMO R...IJMER
ABSTRACT: Space-time coding (STC) has been shown to play a key role in the design of MIMO radars with closely
spaced antennas. Multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) radar is emerging technology for target detection, parameter
identification, and target classification due to diversity of waveform and perspective. First, it turns out that a joint waveform
optimization problem can be decoupled into a set of individual waveform design problems. Second, a number of mono-static
waveforms can be directly used in a MIMO radar system, which offers flexibility in waveform selection. We provide
conditions for the elimination of waveform cross correlation. However, the mutual interference among the waveforms may
lead to performance degradation in resolving spatially close returns. We consider the use of space–time coding (STC) to
mitigate the waveform cross-correlation effects in MIMO radar. In addition, we also extend the model to partial waveform
cross-correlation removal based on waveform set division. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of STC in MIMO
radar for waveform de-correlation. This paper introduces the signal processing issued for the coherent MIMO radar without
and with STC waveforms and also studied signal processing algorithms of coherent MIMO radar with STC waveforms for
improvement of target detection and recognition performance for real life scenario.
Keywords: STC, coherent, Probability detection, MIMO and SNR.
On-line Fault diagnosis of Arbitrary Connected NetworksIDES Editor
This paper proposes an on-line two phase fault
diagnosis algorithm for arbitrary connected networks. The
algorithm addresses a realistic fault model considering crash
and value faults in the nodes. Fault diagnosis is achieved by
comparing the heartbeat message generated by neighboring
nodes and dissemination of decision made at each node.
Theoretical analysis shows that time and message complexity
of the diagnosis scheme is O(n) for a n-node network. The
message and time complexity are comparable to the existing
state of art approaches and thus well suited for design of
different fault tolerant wireless communication networks
Sparse Spectrum Sensing in Infrastructure-less Cognitive Radio Networks via B...Mohamed Seif
The document presents a system model for sparse spectrum sensing in infrastructure-less cognitive radio networks using binary consensus algorithms. It discusses compressive sensing theory which combines signal acquisition and compression. A vector consensus problem is formulated for an infrastructure-less cognitive radio network where nodes cooperatively sense spectrum occupancy through local interactions. Simulation results show that the infrastructure-less approach achieves detection performance comparable to a centralized architecture and that detection probability increases with the number of measurements and link quality while decreasing with sparsity level.

This document summarizes a new algorithm called MewDC-NMF for unsupervised unmixing of hyperspectral images. MewDC-NMF stands for Minimum endmember-wise Distance Constrained Nonnegative Matrix Factorization. It simultaneously extracts endmembers and estimates abundance fractions without requiring pure pixels. This is accomplished by imposing a distance constraint between endmembers to make their spectra more compact during optimization. Experiments on synthetic and real AVIRIS data show MewDC-NMF outperforms other constrained NMF methods in extracting more accurate endmembers and estimating abundances.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
