VTrack: Video analytics for automatic video-surveillance

Summary form only given. TENCON delegates are invited to attend the following tutorial sessions, free of charge, which will be held at the USC Engineering Audio Visual Room, University of San Carlos - Talamban Campus on November 19, 2012. Tutorial 1: Recent Advances in Robotics and Emerging Opportunities. This tutorial reviews the recent exciting developments in robotics centering on humans and operating in unstructured environments. It covers emerging trends in manufacturing, autonomous mobile robots, social robotics, and security and service applications. Current state of the art techniques to realize fundamental capabilities of robotic systems are concisely explained and challenges for research discussed. Tutorial 2: The Next Generation MIMO-OFDM Systems. This tutorial describes the VLSI implementation of our proposed 4x4 MIMO-OFDM (2.6G bps with 160MHz BW) and SxS MIMO-OFDM (3.0G bps with SOMHz BW) systems. A low-latency and a full-pipelined architecture are employed for all processing blocks to provide the real-time operations on OFDM modulation and MIMO detection. The designed transceiver has been evaluated in the circuit size and power dissipation by using a 90-nm CMOS process. In an FPGA board, the proposed total system has been implemented. For the designed system, the circuit behavior on gate size and power consumption is verified. The communication performance is also evaluated.
