Communications and Signal Processing - Vol. 4

AUDIO VISUAL PERSON TRACKING: A Practical Approachby Fotios Talantzis (Athens Information Technology, Greece), Aristodemos Pnevmatikakis (Athens Information Technology, Greece)& Anthony G Constantinides (Imperial College London, UK)

This book deals with the creation of the algorithm backbone that enables a computer to perceive humans in a monitored space, by processing the signals that humans use in order to perform a task, i.e., audio and video. This application domain is challenging, because audio and visual signals are cluttered by both background and foreground objects. After establishing particle filtering as the framework for tracking, audio, visual and also audiovisual tracking are then explained. Each method is analyzed, starting with sensor configurations, detection for tracker initialization and the trackers themselves. Techniques to fuse the modalities are then considered. Instead of offering a monolithic approach to the tracking problem, this book also focuses on implementation by providing MATLAB code for every presented component.

Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in signal processing, machine perception/computer vision and electrical & electronic engineering.

Advances in Adaptive Data Analysis (AADA) http://www.worldscinet.com/aada

AADA is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to report original research results on data analysis methodology developments and their applications, with a special emphasis on the adaptive approaches. The mission of the journal is to elevate data analysis above the routine data processing and make it a tool for scientific research and engineering applications.

Data are the direct record of a given phenomenon and hence the only connection between the reality and us; therefore, data analysis is the way to get any information from an observed phenomenon and the only way to find out the underlying driving mechanism. Consequently, data analysis is very different from data processing. Data analysis emphasizes detailed decomposition and examinations of the data to extract physical understanding, while data processing relies on established algorithms to provide mathematical parameters.

As research becomes increasingly sophisticated, the inadequacies of traditional data processing methods have become glaringly clear. In fact, for data from complicated scientific phenomena, the approach based on a priori basis and linear and stationary assumptions would never work well. To accommodate the needs of scientific data analysis, rather than mathematical data processing, we have to face the reality of non-stationarity and non-linearity in the data. The only viable way is to break away from traditional limitations and establish a new paradigm in adaptive data analysis methods.

Control and Systems Engineering Digital Electronics

Journal

International Journal of Machine Consciousness (IJMC) http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmc/

The journal examines the theoretical foundations of conscious machines and analyzes current approaches to machine consciousness. It offers unity and visibility to a wide spread of research, which is now scattered throughout many diverse and often unrelated journals. The journal also allows a publication focus where scholars could present, compare and evaluate their work on machine consciousness both from the theoretical and technical side. Since the topic of machine consciousness is still highly controversial, each issue will endorse a blend of papers covering provocative theories as well as testable models. Machine consciousness is pursued for:

• Implementing and designing machines resembling human beings (cognitive robotics)

• Understanding the nature of consciousness (cognitive science) • Implementing and designing more efficient control systems

Machine consciousness is a field placed at the crossing between technical disciplines (AI, Robotics, Computer Science and Engineering), theoretical ones (Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Mind, Linguistics, Logic), and empirical ones (Psychology and Neuroscience). However, machine consciousness focuses mostly on attempts to use robots and informational machines as vehicles that advance various ways of understanding consciousness and examine the possible role of consciousness in the further development of such robots and other informational machines.

MULTICORE SYSTEMS-ON-CHIP: Practical Hardware/Software Design Issuesby Ben Abadallah Abderazek (University of Aizu, Japan)

Conventional on-chip communication design mostly use ad-hoc approaches that fail to meet the challenges posed by the next-generation MultiCore Systems-on-Chip (MCSoC) designs. These major challenges include wiring delay, predictability, diverse interconnection architectures, and power dissipation. A Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm is emerging as the solution for the problems of interconnecting dozens of cores into a single system-on-chip. However, there are many problems associated with the design of such systems. These problems arise from non-scalable global wire delays, failure to achieve global synchronization, and difficulties associated with non-scalable bus-based functional interconnects.

Readership: This book, that addresses the practical issues in MCSoC design and evaluation, is of interest for both professionals and researchers in the field of chip design. Also, the book can be used as a textbook by lecturers and students.

TELEXISTENCEby Susumu Tachi (The University of Tokyo, Japan & Keio University, Japan)

Telexistence is a fundamental concept which refers to the general technology that enables a human being to have a real-time sensation of being at a place other than where he or she actually exists, while being able to interact with the remote environment, which may be real, virtual, or a combination of both. It also refers to an advanced type of teleoperation system that enables an operator at the control to perform remote tasks dexterously with the feeling of existing in a surrogate robot working in a remote environment. Telexistence in the real remote environment through a virtual environment is also possible. This book is the first book on telexistence written by the inventor of the concept of this emerging technology. It introduces the concept of telexistence, explains how this concept can be realized, illustrates precisely real examples of the realization of the concept, and determines its future advancement.

Readership: Researchers and graduate students in robotics and automated systems, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering and electrical & electronic engineering.
