Action recognition has been studied in computer vision field for years. We present an effective approach to recognize actions using a dimension reduction method, which is applied as a crucial step to reduce the dimensionality of feature descriptors after extracting features. We propose to use sparse matrix and randomized kd-tree to modify it and then propose modified Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (mLFDA) method which greatly reduces the required memory and accelerate the standard Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis. For feature encoding, we propose a useful encoding method called mix encoding which combines Fisher vector encoding and locality-constrained linear coding to get the final video representations. In order to add more meaningful features to the process of action recognition, the convolutional neural network is utilized and combined with mix encoding to produce the deep network feature. Experimental results show that our algorithm is a competitive method on KTH dataset, HMDB51 dataset and UCF101 dataset when combining all these methods.

In this paper, we present a memory efficient implementation method of channel encoder using convolutional encoding and interleaving. In conventional method, two separate RAMs must be used for the channel encoder: one RAM for storing frame data and another RAM for interleaving. In our method, without using interleaving RAM, we only use two small RAMs for buffering input frame data. We can process convolutional encoding and interleaving concurrently by using the two RAMs. There are several advantages when applying channel encoder designed using this method to several digital mobile telecommunications : the reduction of memory size ranging 33 % - 60 %, simplified procedure of receiving frame data, and resultant timing margin gained by the simplified procedure.

In recent years, RFID is widely used in industrial applications including factory, material flow, logistics and defense areas. In this paper, The convolutional encoding and viterbi decoding is also implemented to improve the system performance. in an FPGA chip. The used convolution code is constraint length K=3 and rate R=1/2. The length of command frame and response frame is total of 48bits consisting of SOF 8 bits, command 16 bits, CRC 16 bit, and EOF 8 bits. And also the frame error rates are measured under the channel of line-of-sight and non line-of-sight, respectively. The performances are analyzed with FSK modulation only and FSK modulation added with convolutional encoding. These two measured results are compared with that of a RFID system with ASK modulation.

Recently, some meta-heuristic algorithms, such as GA(Genetic Algorithm) and GP(Genetic Programming), have been used to optimize CNN(Convolutional Neural Network). The CNN, which is one of the deep learning models, has seen much success in a variety of computer vision tasks. However, designing CNN architectures still requires expert knowledge and a lot of trial and error. In this paper, the recent attempts to automatically construct CNN architectures are investigated and analyzed. First, two GA based methods are summarized. One is the optimization of CNN structures with the number and size of filters, connection between consecutive layers, and activation functions of each layer. The other is an new encoding method to represent complex convolutional layers in a fixed-length binary string, Second, CGP(Cartesian Genetic Programming) based method is surveyed for CNN structure optimization with highly functional modules, such as convolutional blocks and tensor concatenation, as the node functions in CGP. The comparison for three approaches is analysed and the outlook for the potential next steps is suggested.

Visual place recognition is widely researched area in robotics, as it is one of the elemental requirements for autonomous navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping for mobile robots. However, place recognition in changing environment is a challenging problem since a same place look different according to the time, weather, and seasons. This paper presents a feature extraction method using a deep convolutional auto-encoder to recognize places under severe appearance changes. Given database and query image sequences from different environments, the convolutional auto-encoder is trained to predict the images of the desired environment. The training process is performed by minimizing the loss function between the predicted image and the desired image. After finishing the training process, the encoding part of the structure transforms an input image to a low dimensional latent representation, and it can be used as a condition-invariant feature for recognizing places in changing environment. Experiments were conducted to prove the effective of the proposed method, and the results showed that our method outperformed than existing methods.

This paper proposes a bit manipulation accelerator (BMA) having application specific instructions, which efficiently supports scrambling, convolutional encoding, puncturing, and interleaving. Conventional DSPs cannot effectively perform bit manipulation functions since かey have multiply accumulate (MAC) oriented data paths and word-based functions. However, the proposed accelerator can efficiently process bit manipulation functions using parallel shift and Exclusive-OR (XOR) operations and bit jnsertion/extraction operations on multiple data. The proposed BMA has been modeled by VHDL and synthesized using the SEC $0.18\mu m$ standard cell library and the gate count of the BMA is only about 1,700 gates. Performance comparisons show that the number of clock cycles can be reduced about $40\%\sim80\%$ for scrambling, convolutional encoding and interleaving compared with existing DSPs.

The use of an error-correcting code is essential in communication systems where the channel is noisy. Unless a receiver has accurate channel coding parameters, it becomes difficult to decode the digitized encoding bits correctly. In this paper, we propose two algorithms for reconstructing convolutional codes: one for general convolutional codes and the other for punctured convolutional codes. And we also verify the algorithms by performing intensive computer simulation in additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.

The aim of this study is to rectify the misclassified image features and enhance the performance of image classification tasks by incorporating a channel- coding technique, widely used in telecommunication. Specifically, the proposed algorithm employs the error - correcting mechanism of convolutional coding combined with the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are the state - of- the- arts image classifier s. We develop an encoder and a decoder to employ the error - correcting capability of the convolutional coding. In the encoder, the label values of the image data are converted to convolutional codes that are used as target outputs of the CNN, and the network is trained to minimize the Euclidean distance between the target output codes and the actual output codes. In order to correct misclassified features, the outputs of the network are decoded through the trellis structure with Viterbi algorithm before determining the final prediction. This paper demonstrates that the proposed architecture advances the performance of the neural networks compared to the traditional one- hot encoding method.

We propose a new serial concatenation scheme for space-time and recursive convolutional codes, in which a space-time code is used as the outer code and a single recursive convolutional code as the inner code. We discuss previously proposed serial concatenation schemes employing multiple inner codes and compare them with the new one. The proposed method and the previous one with joint decoding, both performing a combined decoding of the simultaneous output signals from multiple antennas, give a large performance gain over the separate decoding method. In decoding complexity, the new concatenation scheme has a lower complexity compared with the multiple encoding/joint decoding scheme due to the use of the single inner code. Simulation results for a communication system with two transmit and one receive antennas in a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes.

We propose an efficient block least-mean-square (BLMS) adaptive algorithm, in conjunction with error control coding, for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. The proposed adaptive receiver incorporates decision feedback detection and channel encoding in order to improve the performance of the standard LMS algorithm in convolutionally coded systems. The BLMS algorithm involves two modes of operation: (i) The training mode where an uncoded training sequence is used for initial filter tap-weights adaptation, and (ii) the decision-directed where the filter weights are adapted, using the BLMS algorithm, after decoding/encoding operation. It is shown that the proposed adaptive receiver structure is able to compensate for the signal-to­noise ratio (SNR) loss incurred due to the switching from uncoded training mode to coded decision-directed mode. Our results show that by using the proposed adaptive receiver (with decision feed­back block adaptation) one can achieve a much better performance than both the coded LMS with no decision feedback employed. The convergence behavior of the proposed BLMS receiver is simulated and compared to the standard LMS with and without channel coding. We also examine the steady-state bit-error rate (BER) performance of the proposed adaptive BLMS and standard LMS, both with convolutional coding, where we show that the former is more superior than the latter especially at large SNRs ($SNR\;\geq\;9\;dB$).
