Development and analysis of a real-time system for automated detection of improvised explosive device indicators from ground vehicles

We propose a real-time change detection system to be used as a vehicle-mounted early-warning system for indicators of improvised explosive devices. Within the context of military route clearance, the system automatically detects suspicious changes in the environment with respect to a previous patrol. For this purpose, historical images of the...

Implementation-aware design of image-based control with on-line measurable variable-delay

Image-based control uses image-processing algorithms to acquire sensing information. The sensing delay associated with the image-processing algorithm is typically platform-dependent and time-varying. Modern embedded platforms allow to characterize the sensing delay at design-time obtaining a delay histogram, and at run-time measuring its precise...

Runtime Modifications of Spark Data Processing Pipelines

Distributed data processing systems are the standard means for large-scale data analysis in the Big Data field. These systems are based on processing pipelines where the processing is done via a composition of multiple elements or steps. In current distributed data processing systems, the code and parameters that create the pipeline are set at...
