Rapid pedestrian detection, distance cruise control, lane departure warning system, and reverse image system are widely used in automobile system, but the real-time detecting driver's drowsiness using the embedded system was not developed in the past. Recently, the biomedical signal processing have been using to solve biomechanical sciences problem, such as mind-brain imaging technology, magneto encephalogram,...
This paper presents GIMME (General Image Multiview Manipulation Engine), a highly flexible reconfigurable stand-alone mobile two-camera vision platform with stereo-vision capability. GIMME relies on reconfigurable hard-ware (FPGA) to perform application-specific low to medium-level image-processing at video-rate. The Qseven-extension enables additional processing power. Thanks to its compact design,...
This paper describes a method of linearizing the nonlinear characteristics of many sensors and devices using an embedded neural network. The neuron-by-neuron process was developed in assembly language to allow the fastest and shortest code on the embedded system. The embedded neural network also requires an accurate approximation for hyperbolic tangent to be used as the neuron activation function...
In recent years, with advance in wireless communication technology, sensing technology, micro-electronics technology and embedded system, wireless sensor network (WSN) can be used for various application areas, such as home health care, military and industry. The localization service which provides the location information of mobile user is one of important service provided by WSN, because many applications...
The diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases has become a key point in nowadays European healthcare system. However, the underlying testing and monitorization processes haven't experienced the innovation and advancement required to fulfill the needs that such diagnosis and treatment present. In this paper we propose a new testing device for Parkinson Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis...
Monitoring sleep state and sending out alarm signal according to the state and the acute disease belong to the area of sleep basic research and prediction of outbreaks of diseases. The system includes: monitoring and analyzing the sleeper pulse's physiological parameters, the embedded computer judge whether or not the sleeper suffers acute disease(heart disease, cerebral haemorrhage, etc). If so,...
Urban traffic control is a complex large system. Using multi-agent system, a traffic control framework was set up, and different control strategies were simulated. The intersection agent (IA) which uses of fuzzy control strategy and has coordination ability was designed. Simulations showed that fuzzy control has better results than either fix-cycle control or local inductive control Meanwhile, a traffic...
The intelligent sensors used to detect the subjectpsilas behavior are classified on priority levels, superior and inferior. The levels might work in parallel or not. Which level is used is decided by the system in function of that event. The communication modes between levels are presented in this paper. The parallel/distributed structure is introduced because the sensor levels work in parallel. Testing...
The Cooperating Objects NETwork of Excellence (CONET) aims at building a strong community in the area of Cooperating Objects capable of conducting the needed research to achieve, in the long run, the vision of Mark Weiser for ubiquitous computing. For this purpose, research clusters have been instantiated covering, among other topics, scalable data processing, cooperation of mobile objects, simulations...
With the rapid progress of VLSI and embedded technology, itpsilas the time to integrate traditional data-acquisition equipments and Web servers into an embedded system to get higher reliability, dependability and the real time performance.To this system, there are still exists some problems need to be solved effectively such as the implementation of multi-tasks running in concurrency mode. This paper...
In this paper, we proposed a model based sensor fault tolerant control system embedded in a generic PIC microcontroller for use in a temperature control system. The model based fault tolerant control algorithm is embedded in the microcontroller for stand-alone real-time implementation. The algorithm consists of a PID controller element (for nominal control) and a fault compensating element. Results...
Although most students are familiar with computers, very few of them know that they are meeting with embedded computers daily. The aim of our work was to develop an embedded system that is compelling for students with various interests. Thus, we decided to develop a musical instrument. In this paper we present the musical instrument functionality and architecture. We discuss its possible applications...
JavaBeans and ActiveX provides components that can be applied in many GUI tools. The JavaBeans components, in this case, will be developed as communication component (non graphical object) between embedded system GUI tools and modeling prototyping (MP) based on SystemC. On the other hand ActiveX deal to communicate between VP and Physical Prototyping (PP). Using the components technique, we want to...
The intelligent mobile vehicle (IMV) is designed on embedded system with ARM9 and Windows CE.NET embedded operation system (EOS). It is a completely autonomous mobile vehicle system with hardware executive mechanics and corresponding intelligent path planning algorithm. The goal for the IMV is to run from the start point to the end point along the shortest path in any random scene autonomously. There...
