This paper gives a visit report from the baggage handling halls at Vienna International Airport together with texts about image processing applications at airports. The paper is the final written document for the excursion group in the course “Applications of Image Processing” at Vienna University of Technology. The foci in the technical texts are on illumination, configuration (environment), s...

This thesis shows how constraint programming can be applied to the processing of Categorial Type Logics (CTL). It presents a novel formalisation of the parsing task for categorial grammars as a tree configuration problem, and demonstrates how a recent proposal for structural constraints on CTL parse trees [11] can be integrated into this framework. The resulting processing model has been implem...

This paper analyzes the influence of the space-time signal processing technique on the performance of GPS signal acquisition in conditions of strong broadband interference (jamming) and multipath. The space-time processing method used for effective mitigation of GPS interference before processing by a conventional acquisition algorithm is the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response beamforming...

This paper describes SOPA, a component framework that is an essential part of the lecture recording system E-Chalk. It envisiones a general processing and streaming architecture featuring autonomous assembly of stream processing components. The goal is to provide an easy to use framework where dynamically organized processing graphs are build out of components from various distributed sources. ...

Tensor contractions are important computations for many domains including quantum chemistry and big-data applications. Distributed-memory architectures, architectures where numerous processing elements have private memory, are used in order to solve large problems efficiently. On such systems, achieving high performance computation is dependent on the arrangement of the processing elements. The...

Description The TIDEP-0090 demonstrates how TI’s single-chip millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology can be used for robust, long-range sensing in traffic monitoring and other applications. The reference design uses the IWR1642BOOST evaluation module (EVM) and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the IWR1642 device. The processing chain includes the analog radar configuration, analog-t...

A multiple-market framework is developed to measure the size and distribution of research benefits. The model considers an upstream raw product market and a downstream finished product market and allows for imperfect competition in the intermediary food-processing sector. A central conceptual result is derived: an increase in raw product output is a sufficient condition for costreducing innovat...

We propose an all-optical Fourier transformation system for real-time massive data processing in high speed optical coherence tomography (OCT). In the so-called optical computing OCT, fast Fourier transformation (FFT) of A-scan signal is optically processed in real time before being detected by photoelectric detector. Therefore, the processing time for interpolation and FFT in traditional Fouri...

This paper describes the implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the Reconfigurable Data Path Processor (RDPP) under development by the Institute of Advanced Microelectronics and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The RDPP implements a multi-stage computational pipeline, optimized for systolic signal processing applications. We implement the Goertzel FFT algorithm, which is able to...
