LOW COST EMBEDDED STEREO SYSTEM FOR UNDERWATER SURVEYS

A low cost embedded color vision system

In this paper we describe a functioning low cost embedded vision system which can perform basic color blob tracking at 16.7 frames per second. This system utilizes a low cost CMOS color camera module and all image data is processed by a high speed, low cost microcontroller. This eliminates the need for a separate frame grabber and high speed host computer typically found in traditional vision s...

A Low-Cost Robust Front-end for Embedded ASR System

In this paper we propose a low-cost robust MFCC feature extraction algorithm which combines noise reduction and voice activity detection (VAD) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) system of embedded applications. To remedy the effect of additive noise a magnitude spectrum subtraction method is used. A VAD is performed to distinguish speech signal from noise signal. It discriminates speech/non...

A Low-Cost Embedded System For Internet Based Power Measurement

This paper introduces a low-cost (i.e. economically competitive, yet functionally robust) embedded system known as the InterDAQ (i.e. Internet Data AcQuisition). The current energy savings technology relies on conventional data logging systems, in which two major barriers exist. Foremost is the fact that retrieving the energy data is not convenient, and the cost of the data logging equipment is...

High-level architecture for a low-cost embedded vehicle system

New vehicles from the automotive industry include a growing number of progressively more sophisticated embedded systems, including a variety of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs), such as lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control. For both reasons of cost and technology, these innovations draw upon limited resources, leading to highly specific, optimized architectures for each ...
