Computationally Efficient Implementation of Convolution-based Locally Adaptive Binarization Techniques
One of the most important steps of document image processing is binarization.
The computational requirements of locally adaptive binarization techniques make
them unsuitable for devices with limited computing facilities. In this paper,
we have presented a computationally efficient implementation of convolution
based locally adaptive binarization techniques keeping the performance
comparable to the original implementation. The computational complexity has
been reduced from O(W2N2) to O(WN2) where WxW is the window size and NxN is the
image size. Experiments over benchmark datasets show that the computation time
has been reduced by 5 to 15 times depending on the window size while memory
consumption remains the same with respect to the state-of-the-art algorithmic
implementation
MobiBits: Multimodal Mobile Biometric Database
This paper presents a novel database comprising representations of five
different biometric characteristics, collected in a mobile, unconstrained or
semi-constrained setting with three different mobile devices, including
characteristics previously unavailable in existing datasets, namely hand
images, thermal hand images, and thermal face images, all acquired with a
mobile, off-the-shelf device. In addition to this collection of data we perform
an extensive set of experiments providing insight on benchmark recognition
performance that can be achieved with these data, carried out with existing
commercial and academic biometric solutions. This is the first known to us
mobile biometric database introducing samples of biometric traits such as
thermal hand images and thermal face images. We hope that this contribution
will make a valuable addition to the already existing databases and enable new
experiments and studies in the field of mobile authentication. The MobiBits
database is made publicly available to the research community at no cost for
non-commercial purposes.Comment: Submitted for the BIOSIG2018 conference on June 18, 2018. Accepted

Neuro-memristive Circuits for Edge Computing: A review
The volume, veracity, variability, and velocity of data produced from the
ever-increasing network of sensors connected to Internet pose challenges for
power management, scalability, and sustainability of cloud computing
infrastructure. Increasing the data processing capability of edge computing
devices at lower power requirements can reduce several overheads for cloud
computing solutions. This paper provides the review of neuromorphic
CMOS-memristive architectures that can be integrated into edge computing
devices. We discuss why the neuromorphic architectures are useful for edge
devices and show the advantages, drawbacks and open problems in the field of
neuro-memristive circuits for edge computing
