Teaching Practical DSP with Off-the-Shelf Hardware and Free Software

Paolo Prandoni, Eric Bezzam, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet

In this paper we describe our approach to teaching applied digital signal processing (DSP) using freely-available software and inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware components. The pedagogical framework is built around simple real-time audio processing algori ...

PyLandStats: An open-source Pythonic library to compute landscape metrics

Martí Bosch Padrós

Quantifying the spatial pattern of landscapes has become a common task of many studies in landscape ecology. Most of the existing software to compute landscape metrics is not well suited to be used in interactive environments such as Jupyter notebooks nor ...

Trustworthy Biometric Verification under Spoofing Attacks : Application to the Face Mode

Ivana Chingovska

The need for automation of the identity recognition process for a vast number of applications resulted in great advancement of biometric systems in the recent years. Yet, many studies indicate that these systems suffer from vulnerabilities to spoofing (pre ...

CoRD: A Collaborative Framework for Distributed Data Race Detection

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Modern concurrent software is riddled with data races and these races constitute the source of many problems. Data races are hard to detect accurately before software is shipped and, once they cause failures in production, developers find it challenging to ...

Practical Design and Implementation of a CAVE Environment

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Achille Peternier

CAVE systems are nowadays one of the best Virtual Reality (VR) immersive devices available for rendering virtual environments. Unfortunately, such kind of hardware is extremely expensive, complex and cum-bersome, thus limited in its spread. Several cheaper ...

A hybrid genetic algorithm for constrained hardware- software partitioning

Pierre-André Mudry, Guillaume Zufferey

In this article, we propose a novel partitioning method for hardware-software codesign based on a genetic algorithm that has been enhanced for this specific task. Given a high- level program and an area constraint, our software considers different granular ...
