This paper describes an image processing system that detects integrated circuits (ICs) in an image of a printed circuit board (PCB) and attempts to read the part label and identify the chip using optical character recognition (OCR). A prototype of the system was built using an Apple iPhone to acquire the images and display the results while a remote server running MATLAB performed the processing.

A semester research project was completed at Eidgenössiche Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich) and the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in the spring of 2010. A new kind of trigger based on silicon pixel sensors was developed for the commissioning of the current Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) pixel detector. Prior to this trigger there was no silicon sensor based trigger that used the same techn...

In this paper we present a system that could be used to help people with walking disabilities. A system consists of a prototype mobile robot platform equipped with a control board and a remote computer system, running with image processing algorithms, was used to develop a system for physically disabled human to move freely in an environment. We used a camera to get visual information by a huma...

This paper describes the part of a smart monitoring system that uses ZigBee modules to communicate sensory information in case of a fire or bushfire. The proposed system is composed of two parts: A number of remote boards that collect temperature and humidity; and a host board that contains the same type of sensors as the remote board, in addition to wind speed and wind directions sensors. The ...

Satellite attitude accuracy is an important factor affecting the geometric processing accuracy of high-resolution optical satellite imagery. To address the problem whereby the accuracy of the Yaogan-24 remote sensing satellite's on-board attitude data processing is not high enough and thus cannot meet its image geometry processing requirements, we developed an approach involving on-ground attit...

All the real world parameters such as temperature, pressure etc., are analog in nature, In order to control these physical parameters using computers, which are digital in nature, high speed signal processing board is used. This mainly consists of devices such as analog to digital converter, digital to analog converters and timer which perform the interfacing function between analog and digital...

The board of directors is the head of the supervisor and controller in the organization's system. Since the emergence of widespread changes in the business environment has led organizations to take advantage of diverse specializations and skills, changing the composition of the board and the diversity of vision and perceptual skills in their composition has doubled.One of the indicators o...

Graphics Processing Units (GPU) are becoming a widespread tool for general-purpose scientific computing, and are attracting interest for future on board satellite image processing payloads due to their ability to perform massively parallel computations. This paper describes the GPU implementation of an algorithm for on board loss hyper spectral image compression and proposes an architecture tha...

Pulse oximetry is a standard parameter for many years in clinical patient monitoring. There are also sensors that can be used at home. But all these sensors use the transmission based method to measure the oxygen saturation which require finger or ear clips that are uncomfortable and confining and therefore not fit for long-term monitoring. Sleep-related breathing disorders or breathing thin ai...
