    摘要: Some embodiments include a wireless sensor network including a plurality of sensor nodes each comprising: a signal receiver configured to receive intermediate information from at least one of one or more neighboring nodes of the plurality of sensor nodes, one or more processors configured to receive the intermediate information and update the intermediate information based on a soft-max approximation function, and a transmitter configured to send the intermediate information, as updated, to at least one of the one or more neighboring nodes of the plurality of sensor nodes. For each sensor node of the plurality of sensor nodes: the sensor node can store local location coordinates for the sensor node, and the sensor node can be devoid of receiving location coordinates for any other of the plurality of sensor nodes. The plurality of sensor nodes can be configured to communicate in a distributed manner for a first plurality of iterations until a final iteration of the first plurality of iterations when a predetermined stopping condition is satisfied. The plurality of sensor nodes can be further configured to generate an estimated center of the wireless sensor network based on the intermediate information updated in the final iteration of the first plurality of iterations. The wireless sensor network can be devoid of a fusion center. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Tracking-based motion deblurring via coded exposure is provided. Fast object tracking is useful for a variety of applications in surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and remote sensing. In particular, there is a need to have these algorithms embedded on specialized hardware, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), to ensure energy-efficient operation while saving on latency, bandwidth, and memory access/storage. In an exemplary aspect, an object tracker is used to track motion of one or more objects in a scene captured by an image sensor. The object tracker is coupled with coded exposure of the image sensor, which modulates photodiodes in the image sensor with a known exposure function (e.g., based on the object tracking). This allows for motion blur to be encoded in a characteristic manner in image data captured by the image sensor. Then, in post-processing, deblurring is performed using a computational algorithm.

    摘要: A robust method to automatically segment and identify tumor regions in medical images is extremely valuable for clinical diagnosis and disease modeling. In various embodiments, an efficient algorithm uses sparse models in feature spaces to identify pixels belonging to tumorous regions. By fusing both intensity and spatial location information of the pixels, this technique can automatically localize tumor regions without user intervention. Using a few expert-segmented training images, a sparse coding-based classifier is learned. For a new test image, the sparse code obtained from every pixel is tested with the classifier to determine if it belongs to a tumor region. Particular embodiments also provide a highly accurate, low-complexity procedure for cases when the user can provide an initial estimate of the tumor in a test image.
