During the last years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received significant attention from the research community, as one of the emerging technologies for the new millennium. A WSN is composed by many (e.g., hundreds) devices with limited processing and communication capabilities. Therefore, energy saving is one of the major issues and information processing has to be performed with low co...

Action recognition and tracking of construction heavy equipment is the first step for benchmarking and analyzing the performance of individual machines and evaluating the productivity of a jobsite as a whole. Aside from direct observations, the current approaches for automatically recognizing and tracking various actions of construction heavy equipment includes: 1) using active sensors such as ...

introduction automatic human emotion recognition is one of the most interesting topics in the field of affective computing. however, development of a reliable approach with a reasonable recognition rate is a challenging task. the main objective of the present study was to propose a robust method for discrimination of emotional responses thorough examination of heart rate variability (hrv). in t...

This paper describes the design of FPGA based signal processing card. An on board real time digital signal processing system is designed using FPGA. The platform can decode process of various kinds of digital and analog signals simultaneously. The design trend in this card is towards small size, high integration and fast real time processing. For the optimum performance a 16 bit 1 MSPS ADC is u...

This paper deals with reconfigurable hardware platform for different purposes real-time speech and audio signal processing. A design conception and turnkey solution are described. Much attention is paid to reconfigurable peripheral processor meant for external interface realization, preand postdata processing as well as digital signal processing algorithms implementation with the object of the ...

Software to design multimedia scenarios is usually based either on a fixed timeline or on cue lists, but both models are unrelated temporally. On the contrary, the formalism of interactive scores can describe multimedia scenarios with flexible and fixed temporal relations among the objects of the scenario, but cannot express neither temporal relations for micro controls nor signal processing. W...

Audio spatialization is a rapidly growing field in acoustics and audio signal processing. Measurements and models of head-related impulse responses (HRIRs) of human subjects or KEMAR dummy heads are the primary source of information for research on spatial audio. The information contained in HRIRs measured at various azimuth and elevation angles is sufficient for synthesizing realistic three di...

This work presents a series of tools to turn Faust code into various elements ranging from fully functional applications to multi-platform libraries for real time audio signal processing on iOS and Android. Technical details about their use and function are provided along with audio latency and performance comparisons, and examples of applications.
