The goal is to construct an obstruction map based on the DoA scanning results for an autonomous mover when navigating in a pedestrian rich environment. A low complexity DoA estimation scheme, which eliminates the requirement of a computationally expensive Eigen Decomposition (ED) in conventional MUSIC algorithm, is developed. An Orthogonal Projection Matrix (OPM) scheme is used. Furthermore, a QR decomposition method is employed to implement the pseudo inverse matrix calculation required in the OPM scheme. This leads to a very computing efficient approach and facilitates real time implementation in hardware accelerators. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can perform comparably to the conventional scheme at a much lower computing complexity.","PeriodicalId":273095,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems (AICAS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125574240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very deep convolutional network for image super-resolution (VDSR) is a promising algorithm for SISR but it is too complex to be implemented in hardware for commercial products. The proposed design aims to implement VDSR with relatively small hardware resources while minimizing a degradation of image quality. To this end, 1D reorganization of a convolution filter is proposed to reduce the number of multipliers. In addition, the 1D vertical filter is changed to reduce the internal SRAM to store the input feature map. For the implementation with a reasonable hardware cost, the numbers of layers and channels per layer, as well as the parameter resolution, are decreased without a significant reduction of image quality which is observed from simulation results. The 1D reorganization reduces the number of multiplies to 55.6% whereas the size reduction of 1D vertical filter halves the buffer size. As a result, the proposed design processes a full-HD video in real time with 8,143.5k gates and 333.1kB SRAM while the image quality is degraded by 1.06dB when compared with VDSR.","PeriodicalId":273095,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems (AICAS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124600991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electroencephalography signal is measured from C57BL/6 mice in animal testing with a sampling rate of 400 Hz. The proposed system is verified on software design and hardware implementation. The software is designed in Matlab, and the hardware is implemented by the field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. The chip is fabricated with TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The feature extraction function is realized in FPGA, and the NN architecture is implemented with a chip. The chosen feature sets from the previous measured animal testing data are amplitude, frequency bins, approximate entropy, and standard deviation.

Due to the high correlation between emotion and involuntary physiological changes, physiological signals are a prime candidate for emotion analysis. However, due to the need of a huge amount of training data for a high-quality machine learning model, computational complexity becomes a major bottleneck. To overcome this issue, brain-inspired hyperdimensional (HD) computing, an energy-efficient and fast learning computational paradigm, has a high potential to achieve a balance between accuracy and the amount of necessary training data. We propose an HD Computing-based Multimodality Emotion Recognition (HDC-MER). HDCMER maps real-valued features to binary HD vectors using a random nonlinear function, and further encodes them over time, and fuses across different modalities including GSR, ECG, and EEG. The experimental results show that, compared to the best method using the full training data, HDC-MER achieves higher classification accuracy for both valence (83.2% vs. 80.1%) and arousal (70.1% vs. 68.4%) using only 1/4 training data. HDC-MER also achieves at least 5% higher averaged accuracy compared to all the other methods in any point along the learning curve.","PeriodicalId":273095,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems (AICAS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126009224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
