TECH NEWS AND TRENDS THAT WILL News AFFECT YOU TODAY AND BEYOND.

  • Light Field Salient Object Detection: a Review and Benchmark Keren Fu, Yao Jiang, Ge-Peng Ji, Tao Zhou*, Qijun Zhao, and Deng-Ping Fan
    JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015 1 Light Field Salient Object Detection: A Review and Benchmark Keren Fu, Yao Jiang, Ge-Peng Ji, Tao Zhou*, Qijun Zhao, and Deng-Ping Fan Abstract—Salient object detection (SOD) is a long-standing research topic in computer vision and has drawn an increasing amount of research interest in the past decade. Since light fields record comprehensive information of natural scenes that benefit SOD in a number of ways, using the light field inputs to improve saliency detection over conventional RGB inputs is an emerging trend. This paper provides the first comprehensive review and benchmark for light field SOD, which has long been lacking in the saliency community. Firstly, we introduce preliminary knowledge on light fields, including theory and data forms, and then review existing studies on light field SOD, covering ten traditional mod- els, seven deep learning-based models, one comparative study, and one brief review. Existing datasets for light field SOD are also summarized with detailed information and statistical analyses. Secondly, we benchmark nine representative light field SOD models together with several cutting-edge RGB-D SOD models on four widely used light field datasets, from which insightful discussions and analyses, including a comparison between light field SOD and RGB-D SOD models, are achieved. Besides, due to the inconsistency of datasets in their current forms, we further generate complete data and supplement focal stacks, depth maps Fig. 1: Salient object detection on a sample scenario using and multi-view images for the inconsistent datasets, making them three light field SOD models (i.e., DILF [30], MoLF [31] and consistent and unified.

  • Time Complexity Parallel Local Binary Pattern Feature Extractor on a Graphical Processing Unit
    ICIC Express Letters ICIC International ⃝c 2019 ISSN 1881-803X Volume 13, Number 9, September 2019 pp. 867{874 θ(1) TIME COMPLEXITY PARALLEL LOCAL BINARY PATTERN FEATURE EXTRACTOR ON A GRAPHICAL PROCESSING UNIT Ashwath Rao Badanidiyoor and Gopalakrishna Kini Naravi Department of Computer Science and Engineering Manipal Institute of Technology Manipal Academy of Higher Education Manipal, Karnataka 576104, India f ashwath.rao; ng.kini [email protected] Received February 2019; accepted May 2019 Abstract. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) feature is used widely as a texture feature in object recognition, face recognition, real-time recognitions, etc. in an image. LBP feature extraction time is crucial in many real-time applications. To accelerate feature extrac- tion time, in many previous works researchers have used CPU-GPU combination. In this work, we provide a θ(1) time complexity implementation for determining the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features of an image. This is possible by employing the full capa- bility of a GPU. The implementation is tested on LISS medical images. Keywords: Local binary pattern, Medical image processing, Parallel algorithms, Graph- ical processing unit, CUDA 1. Introduction. Local binary pattern is a visual descriptor proposed in 1990 by Wang and He [1, 2]. Local binary pattern provides a distribution of intensity around a center pixel. It is a non-parametric visual descriptor helpful in describing a distribution around a center value. Since digital images are distributions of intensity, it is helpful in describing an image. The pattern is widely used in texture analysis, object recognition, and image description. The local binary pattern is used widely in real-time description, and analysis of objects in images and videos, owing to its computational efficiency and computational simplicity.

  • Resolution Experiences to Gamers Worldwide
    Source: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. June 22, 2021 09:00 ET With AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, AMD Brings High-Quality, High- Resolution Experiences to Gamers Worldwide More than 40 game developers pledge support for new cutting-edge spatial upscaling solution; first wave of games supporting AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution available today SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced availability of its cutting-edge spatial upscaling solution, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)1. AMD FSR is an open-source, cross-platform technology designed to boost framerates and deliver high-quality, high-resolution gaming experiences. More than 40 game developers announced support for FSR in their games and/or game engines, and today seven games are adding support for FSR – 22 Racing Series, Anno 1800, Evil Genius 2, Godfall, Kingshunt, Terminator: Resistance and The Riftbreaker – with more expected by the end of this year, including DOTA 2, Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil Village. Offering broad support on more than 100 AMD processors and GPUs, FSR delivers 2.4X higher performance on average in “Performance” mode at 4K across select titles compared to native resolution2. The spatial upscaling technology utilizes an advanced edge reconstruction algorithm to analyze features in the source image and recreate them at a higher target resolution, followed by a sharpening pass to further improve quality by enhancing texture details. The result is an image with super high-quality edges and distinctive pixel detail when compared to basic upscaling methods. “Our goal with FidelityFX Super Resolution was to develop an advanced, world-class upscaling solution based on industry standards that can quickly and easily be implemented by game developers, and is designed for how gamers really play games,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD.

Amilcar do Carmo Lucas aus: Almeirim, Portugal eingereicht am: 19.04.2012 mündliche Prüfung am: 23.07.2012 Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harald Michalik 1. Referent: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Ernst 2. Referent: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Blume 2012 Kurzfassung Kürzlich gab es eine Zunahme der Nachfrage nach hochauflösenden digitalen Medieninhalten in den Kino- und Fernsehenindustrien. Derzeit vorhandene Systeme entsprechen nicht den Anforderungen, oder sind zu teuer. Neue Hardware-Systeme und neuer Programmiertechniken sind erforderlich, um den hochauflösenden, hochwertigen, Bildanforderungen zu genügen und Kosten zu verringern. Die Industrie sucht eine flexible Architektur zur Ausführung mehrerer Anwendungen auf Standard-Komponenten, mit reduzierten Entwicklungszeiten. Bis jetzt ist gängige Praxis, spezialisierten Architektur und Systeme zu entwickeln, die eine einzelne Anwendung zielen. Dieses hat wenig Flexibilität und führt zu hohe Entwicklungs- kosten, jede neue Anwendung ist fast von Grund auf neu konzipiert. Unser Fokus war es, eine für Bild Verarbeitung geeignet Architektur zu entwickeln dass die Flexibilität hat mehrere Anwendungen an dieselbe FPGA-basierte Hardware-Plattform zu laufen. Die Neuheit in unserem Ansatz ist, dass wir Teile der Architektur zur Laufzeit rekon- figurieren, aber, ohne das Zeit und constraints strafe von FPGA Partielle-Rekonfiguration- Techniken. Die Architektur verwendet eine hierarchische Kontrollstruktur, die zur paral- lel Verarbeitung gut geeignet ist, und Single-Cycle-Latenz Rekonfiguration von Teilen der Verarbeitungs-Pipeline ermöglicht. Dieses wird unter Verwendung relativ weniger Ressour- cen für die verteiltes Steuerung Strukturen erzielt.
