An Iot System For Converting Handwritten Text To Editable Format Via Gesture Recognition, Nidhi Patel Aug 2018

An Iot System For Converting Handwritten Text To Editable Format Via Gesture Recognition, Nidhi Patel

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

Evaluation of traditional classroom has led to electronic classroom i.e. e-learning. Growth of traditional classroom doesn’t stop at e-learning or distance learning. Next step to electronic classroom is a smart classroom. Most popular features of electronic classroom is capturing video/photos of lecture content and extracting handwriting for note-taking. Numerous techniques have been implemented in order to extract handwriting from video/photo of the lecture but still the deficiency of few techniques can be resolved, and which can turn electronic classroom into smart classroom.

In this thesis, we present a real-time IoT system to convert handwritten text into editable format by implementing …


How Gpu Rendering Affects Image Processing And Scientific Calculation Speed, Power And Energy On A Raspberry Pi, Qihao He May 2018

How Gpu Rendering Affects Image Processing And Scientific Calculation Speed, Power And Energy On A Raspberry Pi, Qihao He

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, we explore the speed, power, and energy performance of the same data process on the central processing unit (CPU) with and without the acceleration of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on the microcomputer Raspberry Pi (RPI). We tested on the RPI in two different fields. The first was comparing the speed, power, and energy usage with and without GPU acceleration in the image processing impacts on RPI model B+. The second was comparing speed, power, energy usage, and accuracy for scientific calculation with and without GPU acceleration on RPI model B+ and 3B.

We used a novel …
