Such methods are almost based on acoustic features extracted from raw audiocontent. Unfortunately, this processing step is extremely time intensive. Thus, the energy consumption of the underlying hardware architecture becomes critical especially for mobile devices. This paper presents a hardware accelerator that efficiently extracts features from audio data. The architecture is designed for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). Quantitative results confirm a speed up of up to factor 5 compared to an Intel Core i7 2640M CPU with a concurrent reduced power consumption of at least factor 7 regarding the FPGA implementation. Furthermore, the ASIC implementation is up to 70000 times more energy efficient than a CPU and is therefore suitable even for mobile devices.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125773351","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}

When a person stands by one of his/her friends who wears a similar clothe to his/hers, he/she is unwillingly conspicuous or his/her characteristics of clothe are diminished. To avoid such a problematic situation, we proposed a wearing history sharing system named WearReport. It enables users to take their clothe photos easily and to share their wearing histories for avoiding wearing similar clothes each other. With WearReport, users can see the history of their and their friends' clothes at a glance. The history visualization is based on the photos which are semi-automatically taken at the entrance of their home every morning. It enables users to estimate which clothes their friends may wear today. As the result of empirical evaluation, participants could estimate the color of other participants' clothes, but there were no cases for avoiding clothe conflict.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127294814","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}

Two basic patterns are assigned “0” or “1” respectively. One geometrical pattern is created combining these two patterns. As a method which can decode an image rotated in the scanning process, a square covering the black pixels at the end of four directions of the image is first determined. The rotation is eliminated by rotating the image such that the area of the square is minimized. Then the position of the pattern is discovered from the black pixels in the four directions of the picture. This way surrounding blanks are excluded in decoding. Moreover anchor information is embedded in the four corners enabling the detection of rotations by multiples of 90 degrees. We show that the proposed method works properly even if the scanned picture is rotated through computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130617229","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}

Unlike traditional methods that must decode audio files and then compute fast Fourier transform coefficients, the proposed system directly maps the modified discrete cosine transform coefficients into a 12-dimensional chroma feature without fully decoding it. To accelerate the matching time, segmentation is applied to reduce the time dimension in the feature space. In addition, the dynamic programming technique is used to match songs to various tempos. The experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a 62% accuracy rate, which is an improvement over the traditional FFT-based system, and reduces the computational complexity by approximately 35%.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133801457","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}
