The consumer automotive market is going through rapid changes. To preserve the competitiveness each new generation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) heavily adds to a complexity of the hardware platform. Analysis of the latest ADAS systems, their existing and missing requirements, is a foundation for the development of the Alpha board, the hardware platform for ADAS applications. In this...
In this paper a no-reference image quality assessment (IQA) metric for DIBR-synthesized images is proposed. Sparsity based features of morphologically decomposed image subbands are used to estimate distortion level in images. A General regression neural network is utilized to calculate quality score. The performance is evaluated using publicly available IRCCyN/IVC DIBR image database. Experimental...
With the rapid technology development of systems that assist drivers, the lack of uniform support for efficient algorithm development has emerged. We propose a universal Software Development Kit (SDK) concept with common optimization routines that can be applied to typical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) algorithms. The evaluation confirmed that the SDK decreased execution time for ADAS...
Recently Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use cases are growing in number and ubiquity with no common approach to software design and implementation to facilitate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems development. Thus we are presenting our scalable software model where we focus on data acquisition, processing units, and action intelligence. In this software module we present our Advanced Driver...
Since the emerge of Android as a fully capable TV operating system, the remaining questions address issues of its applicability to the ecosystems of major telecom operators, especially those providing TV services to subscribers. The abundance of services are provided to consumers, including Live IPTV broadcast, over-the-top TV, video on demand, media portals and applications. In this ecosystem, it...
This paper describes Graphical User Interface application for vehicle control panel. The application has three dimensional approach to graphics, and uses Android operative system. The application provides better overview of essential information for a driver. The appearance and content of displayed information can be customized with high focus on safety.
Graphical User Interface is the easiest communication approach between an application and a user. Thus, it is important to promptly react to user's requests. In this paper we describe an implemented concept to improve the Graphical User Interface responsiveness in embedded environment. We also describe its subsequent evolution of the implementation triggered by its real world applications.
Dissimilarity between Bluetooth Low Energy based devices limits a number of devices that can be added to a home automation system to a particular brand. This paper presents a new method which enables "brand-free plug-n-play" deployment of smart devices. The method is based on novel approach to home manager concepts of services and properties, and design of adaption mechanism layer. The method...
This paper proposes one solution for abstraction of protocols used in a home automation system. Message Queue Telemetry Transport protocol is used to establish network architecture where information about home automation endpoints is distributed to hubs registered to an owner's account. Also, this paper has novel approach to usability of original "smart" devices (smartphones, smart watches,...
This paper presents a methodology that combines both - manual and automatic black box testing. Advantage of the hybrid approach is that combined benefits of each methodology mitigate the weaknesses of a single methodology. This increases the efficiency of black box testing. The presented methodology generates test plans for new functional testing campaign which is based on the test history results,...
This paper presents a solution for a self-management system framework. Implemented solution enables network administrators to create, edit and execute Lua configuration scripts. Key benefits are: Evaluation of Lua's deployment in autonomic systems and definition of the event-model used for the configuration application.
This paper presents a solution of visualizing the internet based Electronic Program Guide data combined with additional Internet content for Android based set-top box device. The main goal was to present different information in a unified way that will enhance user experience by allowing user to easily navigate through Electronic Program Guide and related Internet content on the screen. It is important...
Rapid development of new technologies adds to an architectural complexity of multimedia devices. The last generations of multimedia devices combine features of multiple devices into a single device. Complex devices require more testing and verification methods, and more time to find a fault. Very often inoperative device has to be transported to operator's facilities for complete diagnostics. Transportation...
In this paper a concept, architecture and implementation of a device cloud platform is presented. Proposed device cloud, through a secure application programming interface (API), enables the creation of various Internet of Things applications, among which TV control application and energy consumption monitoring application for the home were implemented and evaluated. Some of the main contributions...
Acoustic echo degrades the quality of speech in hands-free telephony. The most popular digital signal processing technique to suppress acoustic echo is adaptive filtering. However, adaptive filtering may require the computational cost optimization in particular when adaptive algorithm is implemented on low-cost DSP platforms. We propose a computationally efficient version of the partitioned block...
In this paper we demonstrate the ability to predict changes to heart rate due to changes in levels of activity, up to an hour into the future. Activity levels are calculated from data collected by a worn accelerometer for a person performing daily activities outside a laboratory environment. People with congestive heart failure must take care not to excessively stress their heart. This can be a challenge...
