  • In this paper, we propose a world's first programmable video processing platform for video quality enhancement of 8K ($7680{\times}4320$) UHD (Ultra High Definition) TV at 60 frames per second. To support huge computation and memory bandwidth of video quality enhancement for 8K resolution, the proposed platform has unique features like symmetric multi-cluster architecture for data partitioning, ring data-path between clusters to support data pipelining, on-the-fly processing architecture to reduce DDR bandwidth, flexible hardware to accelerating common kernel in video enhancement algorithms. In addition to those features, general programmability of SRP (Samsung reconfigurable processor) as main core of the proposed platform makes it possible to upgrade continuously video enhancement algorithm even after the platform is fixed. This ability is very important because algorithms for 8K DTV is under development. The proposed sub-system has been embedded into SoC (System on Chip) and new 8K UHD TV using the programmable SoC is expected at CES2015 for the first time in the world.

  • The previous study of Digital Broadcasting Recommendation system is based on user explicit profiling information. But user profile is always changing and the exact extraction of user profile is very important in recommendation system like Digital TV using many user interactions. This paper is studied of realtime user profiles aggregation through user remote controller input and matching this profiles with contents meta-data like contents genre information, event information, content viewing time. It is not used commercial database system and network communication solution considering embedded system hardware restriction. And it is considered people want different content genre based on watching time. From the results of this paper, there are improvement of user satisfaction of contents recommendation.

  • Increasing popularity of WLAN and advancement of WPAN allow user to connect to the Internet easily today. The increasing of number of networking mobile device such as laptop and PDA requires computing devices to share high speed Internet line or work on networks in most cases. This has stimulated the demand of access point that supports multiple network interfaces. This paper describes the process of design, implementation and test of the wired/wireless integrated access point that supports multiple network interfaces such as wired LAN, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and Broadband network. We designed and developed the hardware system and protocol software to integrate heterogeneous network. The system has shown compatibility with standard specification and good performance through testing with various network devices.

  • With the growing importance of the fishery industry and the rapid growth of the aquaculture industry, research on smart farms through ICT convergence in the aquaculture field is in progress. To enable monitoring of the growing environment at the farm site, an underwater drone drive unit, an image collection device, an integrated controller for posture stabilization, and a remote control device capable of controlling and controlling drones through real-time underwater images were proposed, and design, development, and tests were conducted. By utilizing underwater drones, it is possible to replace the supply and demand of manpower and high-cost work in the aquaculture industry, and to manage fish farms in a stable manner by reducing the probability of farming deaths.

  • Recently, deep learning using convolutional neural network (CNN) has been extensively studied in image recognition. Convolution consists of addition and multiplication. Multiplication is computationally expensive in hardware implementation, relative to addition. It is also important factor limiting a chip design in an embedded deep learning system. In this paper, I propose a parallel-addition processing algorithm that converts grayscale images to the superposition of binary images and performs convolution only with addition. It is confirmed that the convolution can be performed by a parallel-addition method capable of reducing the processing time in experiment for verifying the availability of proposed algorithm.

  • In this paper, we introduce a concrete, practical Ubiquitous Organizational Information (UOI) service framework, providing novice users intelligent and useful services respecting the environment. The UOI framework consists of hierarchical network architecture and is based on distributed sensor networks. To provide a rich array of services, the modular software framework and foundation software is designed. The UOI framework and foundation software is implemented on our hardware prototype. We define three representative UOI services and illustrate each service flow operating in our UOI network. In addition, we describe some details in the implementation of a distributed UOI network on the UOI test-bed.

  • The renewable resource are getting more attentions with increased concerns on the depletion of fossil fuels and several environmental issues like emission problem. Wind power is a representative option among several renewable sources and the generation capacity using wind power is being increased. However, the wind generation is so volatile on its output characteristic, so it is required to assess the grid impact of wind power generation by measuring the fluctuation effect more precisely. This paper proposes the method for measuring the generation output according to IEC 61400-21(Measurement and assessment of power quality characteristics of grid connected wind turbines) to assess the power quality of wind turbine generation. In addition, it shows an application case to a small-scale wind power generator. In the case study, it suggests a structure design of the proposed measurement instrument both on hardware and software aspects, which is composed of a remote monitoring & data analysis program and an FPGA based real-time signal processing device.

  • This paper explores the reliability issue especially associated with the time-division synchronous communication when a networking stack is implemented using software timers provided by embedded operating systems. Especially, we explore the reliability of beacon synchronization of IEEE 802.15.4. Our experiments based on its practical implementation clearly show that processing delays or losses of hardware timer interrupts used for software timers lead to occasional failures in beacon synchronization. To avoid such failures, we suggest a reception time compensation scheme that turns on the receiver earlier than expected.

  • The design and implementation of an engine control system has become an important area in developing a new car, but the implementation of an engine control system is becoming a tedious and time-consuming work as the level of complexity increases. In order to shorten the development cycle of the control system, rapid control prototyping (RCP) technique deserves developers' attention. A new RCP platform has been developed for an automotive engine control application. This prototyping system strictly adheres to the layered architecture of the final production ECU, and separates the automatically generated part of software, or the application area, from the hand coded area, which generally carefully designed and tested because of the hardware dependency and the efficiency of microcontroller. The $Matlab{\circledR}$ tool-chain of Mathworks Inc. has been selected as a base environment in this study. A newly developed Engine Control Toolbox of Real-Time $Workshop{\circledR}$ converts a graphically represented control algorithm into optimized application codes and links them with other parts of the software to generate executable code for the target processor.
