Network-On-Chip Based H.264 Video Decoder On A Field Programmable Gate Array, Ian Barge
Network-On-Chip Based H.264 Video Decoder On A Field Programmable Gate Array, Ian Barge
Master's Theses (2009 -)
This thesis develops the first fully network-on-chip (NoC) based h.264 video decoder implemented in real hardware on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This thesis starts with an overview of the h.264 video coding standard and an introduction to the NoC communication paradigm. Following this, a series of processing elements (PEs) are developed which implement the component algorithms making up the h.264 video decoder. These PEs, described primarily in VHDL with some Verilog and C, are then mapped to an NoC which is generated using the CONNECT NoC generation tool. To demonstrate the scalability of the proposed NoC based design, …
A Novel Approach To Complex Human Activity Recognition, Md Osman Gani
A Novel Approach To Complex Human Activity Recognition, Md Osman Gani
Dissertations (1934 -)
Human activity recognition is a technology that offers automatic recognition of what a person is doing with respect to body motion and function. The main goal is to recognize a person's activity using different technologies such as cameras, motion sensors, location sensors, and time. Human activity recognition is important in many areas such as pervasive computing, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, health care, health outcomes, rehabilitation engineering, occupational science, and social sciences. There are numerous ubiquitous and pervasive computing systems where users' activities play an important role. The human activity carries a lot of information about the context and helps systems …
