The topic of this thesis is the development of novel methods of biomedical data analysis in software and hardware. A novel system has been developed for the extraction of second-order statistic texture features from images and video in software and hardware. Additionally, a novel FPGA-based architecture for the calculation of the logarithm function has been developed, which achieves fast operat...

Dense stereo vision has evolved into a powerful foundation for the next generation of intelligent vehicles. The high spatial and temporal resolution allows for robust obstacle detection in complex inner city scenarios, including pedestrian recognition and detection of partially hidden moving objects. Aiming at a vision architecture for efficiently solving an increasing number of vision tasks, t...

Digital image processing heavily relies on the connectivity of pixels, as it is a vital component for accurate object identification and analysis within an image. Grouping together pixels with similar features such colour intensity, allows formation meaningful patterns or objects, which essential recognition segmentation. This approach particularly valuable in photogrammetric imaging, video sur...

In this report the design, fabrication, and testing of inkjet-printed electrochromic pixels (ECPs) incorporating biochrome, xanthommatin (Xa) as programmable display units is described. As a redox sensitive chromophore, Xa present in some species physiological indicator with red (reduced) or yellow (oxidized) colors associated different behavioral developmental stages. These features have been ...

The paper is aimed at developing an algorithm of hyperspectral data compression that combines small losses with high rate. relies on a principal component analysis and method exhaustion. components are singular vectors initial signal matrix, which found by the A retrieved matrix formed in parallel. process continues until required retrieval error attained. described detail input output paramete...

endocrine hypothesis. For example, there must be in the population many men who have regularly donated blood every six months for many years. Obviously this is not equivalent to a monthly menstrual bleed. Nevertheless it would be interesting to see whether these men are in any way protected against coronary thrombosis as compared with a group of non-donors. (2) If true the concept would mean th...
