In this paper, we propose an efficient parallel implementation method of a widely used complex four-stage fire detection algorithm using a graphics processing unit (GPU) to improve the performance of the algorithm and analyze the performance of the parallel implementation method. In addition, we use seven different resolution videos (QVGA, VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA+, UXGA, QXGA) as inputs of the four-stage fire detection algorithm. Moreover, we compare the performance of the GPU-based approach with that of the CPU implementation for each different resolution video. Experimental results using five different fire videos with seven different resolutions indicate that the execution time of the proposed GPU implementation outperforms that of the CPU implementation in terms of execution time and takes a 25.11ms per frame for the UXGA resolution video, satisfying real-time processing (30 frames per second, 30fps) of the fire detection algorithm.

This paper presents an implementation of real-time speaker localization using audio-visual information. Four channels of microphone signals are processed to detect vertical as well as horizontal speaker positions. At first short-time average magnitude difference function(AMDF) signals are used to determine whether the microphone signals are human voices or not. And then the orientation and distance information of the sound sources can be obtained through interaural time difference and interaual level differences. Finally visual information by a camera helps get finer tuning of the speaker orientation. Experimental results of the real-time localization system show that the performance improves to 99.6% compared to the rate of 88.8% when only the audio information is used.

This paper describes a DSP implementation of a real-time 3D sound localization algorithm with the use of a low power embedded DSP. A distinctive feature of this implementation is that the audible frequency band is divided into three, in accordance with the sound reflection and diffraction phenomena through different media from a certain sound source to human ears, and then in each subband a specific implementation procedure of the 3D sound localization is devised so as to operate real-time at a low frequency of 50MHz on a 16bit fixed-point DSP. Thus out DSP implementation can provide a listener with 3D sound effects through a headphone at low cost and low power consumption.

Today, the development of logistics and timing of the development of civilization is like. Recently developed the most rapidly is the field of IT. Especially in the field of IT as a key technology being evaluated, as well as real-life development of smart phones to the development of logistics is expected to bring many changes. Accordingly, a combination of smart phones and logistics development of new business models have been increasingly applied. In this paper, smart phones-based implementation of real-time logistics services is proposed.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented a new hard embedded real-time system to satisfy hard real-time constraints in moving independently. Real-time kernel should be small size, fast and predictable. Because of the great variety of demands on real time scheduling, a real time kernel should also include a flexible and re-programmable task scheduling discipline. In this paper, we present that real-time applications should be split into small and simple parts with hard real-time constraints. To satisfy these properties, we designed real-time kernel and general kernel, that have their different properties. In real-time tasks, interrupt processing should be run. In general kernel, non real time tasks or general tasks are run. The efficiency of the proposed hard embedded real-time system is shown by comparison results for performance of the proposal real time kernel with both RT-Linux and QNX.

The main obstacles for adopting a mobile health information system to existing hospital information system are the redundancy of clinical data and the additional workload for implementing the new system. To obtain a seamless communication and to reduce the workload of implementation, an easy and simple implementation strategy is required. We propose a mobile clinical information system (MobileMed) which is specially designed for the easy implementation. The key elements of MobileMed are a smart interface, an HL7 message server, a central clinical database (CCDB), and a web server. The smart interface module transfers the key information to the HL7 message server as new clinical tests data is recorded in the existing laboratory information system. The HL7 message server generates the HL7 messages and sends them to the CCDS. As a central database the CCDS collects the HL7 messages and presents them to the various mobile devices such as PDA. Through this study we might conclude that the architecture for the mobile system will be efficient for real-time data communication, and the specially designed interface will be an easy tool for implementing the mobile clinical information system.

In this paper, we address several issues in the real time implementation of MPEG-1 Layer II decoder on a fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP), especially TMS320C6416. There is a trade-off between processing speed and the size of program/data memory for the optimal implementation. In a view of the speed optimization, we first convert the floating point operations into fixed point ones with little degradation in audio quality, and then the look-up tables used for the inverse quantization of the audio codec are forced to be located into the internal memory of the DSP. And then, window functions and filter coefficients in the decoder are precalculated and stored as constant, which makes the decoder faster even larger memory size is required. It is shown from the real-time experiments that the fixed-point implementation enables us to make the decoder with a sampling rate of 48 kHz operate with 3 times faster than real-time on TMS320C6416 at a clock rate of 600 MHz.

In this paper, we focus on the real time implementation of the single channel adaptive noise canceller(ANC) by using TMS320C30 EVM board. The implemented single channel adaptive noise canceller is based on a reference paper [1] in which it is simulated by using the recursive average magnitude difference function(AMDF) to get a properly delayed input speech on a sample basis as a reference signal and normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm. To certify results of the real time implementation, we measured the processing time of the ANC and enhancement ratio according to various signalto-noise ratios(SNRs). Experimental results demonstrate that the processing time of the speech signal of 32ms length with delay estimation of every 10 samples is about 26.3 ms, and almost the same performance as given in [1] is obtained with the implemented system.

In recent days, pc can process many things that mainframe have processed. Especially, in the transition from mainframe to pc, industries have needed the capabilities of Real Time information processing and Real Time monitoring for information control. But to support Real Time properties, it's needed to add Real Time modules and verify them. In this dissertation, we implemented and verified the Real Time System to support Real Time property. In addition, we implemented Web-based Real Time Monitoring System for Real Time information monitoring.
