Smart video analytics algorithms can be embedded within surveillance sensors for fast in-camera processing. This paper presents a DSP embedded video analytics system for object and people tracking, using a PTZ camera. The tracking algorithm is based on adaptive template matching and it employs a novel Sum of Weighted Absolute Differences. The video analytics is implemented on the DSP board DM64...

In this paper, we performed DTV interference test in order to measure the affected ranges of DTV service due to the operating of narrowband system as the DTV White Space Service in Korea. The Terrestrial Truncated Radio (TETRA) system was targeted as a narrowband application of DTV White Space. A series of simulations was conducted in order to estimate the effective ranges according to the oper...

Performance of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultrawideband (UWB) signal generation using frequency quadrupling technique and transmission over fiber is experimentally investigated. The frequency quadrupling is achived by using only one MachZehnder modulator (MZM) that is biased at maximum transmission (MATB) point. At the output, a freq...

The complete error-in-variables-model (EVM) framework, consisting of both design of experiments and parameter estimation stages, is applied to the terpolymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS, M1), acrylamide (AAm, M2) and acrylic acid (AAc, M3). This water-soluble terpolymer has potential for applications in enhanced oil recovery, but the associated terpolymerization k...

The modulated scattering array antenna (MSAA) is composed of one normal antenna element and several modulated scattering elements (MSE). In this report, a 2-element MSAA is used as the receiving antenna in a 2 by 2 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. The MIMO performance of the MSAA with various array spacing is measured to investigate experimentally the relation between the array spa...

<span lang="EN-US">The peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system will be reduced using reconfigurable cancellation (RPC). RPC also aid improves the error vector magnitude (EVM) and reduces adjacent channel leakage (ACLR) OFDM system. The proposed design methodology practical implementation field programmable gate array (FP...

The objectives of this paper are two folds. The first one is to improve the time forecasting produced from the well known Earned Value Management (EVM), using the polynomial function. The time prediction observed from the polynomial model, which is compared against that observed from the most common method for time forecasting (critical path method), is a more accurate (mean absolute percentage...
