Event-based Vision: A Survey
Event cameras are bio-inspired sensors that differ from conventional frame
cameras: Instead of capturing images at a fixed rate, they asynchronously
measure per-pixel brightness changes, and output a stream of events that encode
the time, location and sign of the brightness changes. Event cameras offer
attractive properties compared to traditional cameras: high temporal resolution
(in the order of microseconds), very high dynamic range (140 dB vs. 60 dB), low
power consumption, and high pixel bandwidth (on the order of kHz) resulting in
reduced motion blur. Hence, event cameras have a large potential for robotics
and computer vision in challenging scenarios for traditional cameras, such as
low-latency, high speed, and high dynamic range. However, novel methods are
required to process the unconventional output of these sensors in order to
unlock their potential. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the
emerging field of event-based vision, with a focus on the applications and the
algorithms developed to unlock the outstanding properties of event cameras. We
present event cameras from their working principle, the actual sensors that are
available and the tasks that they have been used for, from low-level vision
(feature detection and tracking, optic flow, etc.) to high-level vision
(reconstruction, segmentation, recognition). We also discuss the techniques
developed to process events, including learning-based techniques, as well as
specialized processors for these novel sensors, such as spiking neural
networks. Additionally, we highlight the challenges that remain to be tackled
and the opportunities that lie ahead in the search for a more efficient,
bio-inspired way for machines to perceive and interact with the world
Why High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications Matters
Modelling and Simulation (M&S) offer adequate abstractions to manage the complexity of analysing big data in scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, big data problems are often not easily amenable to efficient and effective use of High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities and technologies. Furthermore, M&S communities typically lack the detailed expertise required to exploit the full potential of HPC solutions while HPC specialists may not be fully aware of specific modelling and simulation requirements and applications. The COST Action IC1406 High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications has created a strategic framework to foster interaction between M&S experts from various application domains on the one hand and HPC experts on the other hand to develop effective solutions for big data applications. One of the tangible outcomes of the COST Action is a collection of case studies from various computing domains. Each case study brought together both HPC and M&S experts, giving witness of the effective cross-pollination facilitated by the COST Action. In this introductory article we argue why joining forces between M&S and HPC communities is both timely in the big data era and crucial for success in many application domains. Moreover, we provide an overview on the state of the art in the various research areas concerned
Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Reconfigurable Communication-centric Systems on Chip 2010 - ReCoSoC\u2710 - May 17-19, 2010 Karlsruhe, Germany. (KIT Scientific Reports ; 7551)
ReCoSoC is intended to be a periodic annual meeting to expose and discuss gathered expertise as well as state of the art research around SoC related topics through plenary invited papers and posters. The workshop aims to provide a prospective view of tomorrow\u27s challenges in the multibillion transistor era, taking into account the emerging techniques and architectures exploring the synergy between flexible on-chip communication and system reconfigurability

SusTrainable: Promoting Sustainability as a Fundamental Driver in Software Development Training and Education. 2nd Teacher Training, January 23-27, 2023, Pula, Croatia. Revised lecture notes
This volume exhibits the revised lecture notes of the 2nd teacher training
organized as part of the project Promoting Sustainability as a Fundamental
Driver in Software Development Training and Education, held at the Juraj
Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia, in the week January 23-27, 2023. It is the
Erasmus+ project No. 2020-1-PT01-KA203-078646 - Sustrainable. More details can
be found at the project web site https://sustrainable.github.io/
One of the most important contributions of the project are two summer
schools. The 2nd SusTrainable Summer School (SusTrainable - 23) will be
organized at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in the week July 10-14, 2023.
The summer school will consist of lectures and practical work for master and
PhD students in computing science and closely related fields. There will be
contributions from Babe\c{s}-Bolyai University, E\"{o}tv\"{o}s Lor\'{a}nd
University, Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Radboud University Nijmegen,
Roskilde University, Technical University of Ko\v{s}ice, University of
Amsterdam, University of Coimbra, University of Minho, University of Plovdiv,
University of Porto, University of Rijeka.
To prepare and streamline the summer school, the consortium organized a
teacher training in Pula, Croatia. This was an event of five full days,
organized by Tihana Galinac Grbac and Neven Grbac. The Juraj Dobrila University
of Pula is very concerned with the sustainability issues. The education,
research and management are conducted with sustainability goals in mind.
The contributions in the proceedings were reviewed and provide a good
overview of the range of topics that will be covered at the summer school. The
papers in the proceedings, as well as the very constructive and cooperative
teacher training, guarantee the highest quality and beneficial summer school
for all participants.Comment: 85 pages, 8 figures, 3 code listings and 1 table; editors: Tihana
