چکیده

This paper describes the acceleration of an infrared automatic target recognition (IR ATR) application with a co-processor board that contains multiple eld programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. Template and pixel level parallelism is exploited in an FPGA design for the bottleneck portion of the application. The implementation of this design achieved a speedup of 21 compared to running on the host processor. The paper then describes an FPGA resource manager (RM) developed to support concurrent applications sharing the FPGA board. With the RM, the system is dynamically reconngurable. That is, while part of the co-processor board is busy computing, another part can be reconngured for other purposes. The IR ATR application was ported to work with the RM and has been shown to adapt to the amount of reconngurable hardware that is available at the time the application is executed.

Fuzzy Clustering Approach Using Data Fusion Theory and its Application To Automatic Isolated Word Recognition

 In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the...

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
