A new convolution neural network (CNN) architecture for semantic segmentation of high resolution aerial imagery is proposed in this paper. The follows an hourglass-shaped (HSN) design being structured into encoding and decoding stages. By taking advantage recent advances CNN designs, we use the composed inception module to replace common convolutional layers, providing with multi-scale receptive areas rich context. Additionally, order reduce spatial ambiguities up-sampling stage, skip...
Time-synchronized channel hopping (TSCH) is currently the most efficient solution for collision-free interference-avoiding communications in ad hoc wireless networks, such as sensor vehicular and networks of robots or drones. However, all variants TSCH require some form centralized coordination to maintain time-frequency slotting mechanism. This leads slow convergence steady state moderate slot utilization, particularly under node churn mobility. We propose decentralized time-synchronized...
Real-world data processing problems often involve various image modalities associated with a certain scene, including RGB images, infrared images or multi-spectral images. The fact that different share attributes, such as edges, textures and other structure primitives, represents an opportunity to enhance tasks. This paper proposes new approach construct high-resolution (HR) version of low-resolution (LR) given another HR modality reference, based on joint sparse representations induced by...

The reconstruction of a high resolution image given low observation is an ill-posed inverse problem in imaging. Deep learning methods rely on training data to learn end-to-end mapping from low-resolution input high-resolution output. Unlike existing deep multimodal models that do not incorporate domain knowledge about the problem, we propose design incorporates sparse priors and allows effective integration information another modality into network architecture. Our solution relies novel...

Training deep neural networks on large datasets containing high-dimensional data requires a amount of computation. A solution to this problem is data-parallel distributed training, where model replicated into several computational nodes that have access different chunks the data. This approach, however, entails high communication rates and latency because computed gradients need be shared among at every iteration. The becomes more pronounced in case there wireless between (i.e., due limited...
Recent success in the field of single image super-resolution (SISR) is achieved by optimizing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) space with L1 or L2 loss. However, when trained these loss functions, models usually fail to recover sharp edges present high-resolution (HR) images for reason that model tends give a statistical average potential HR solutions. During our research, we observe gradient maps generated have significantly lower variance than original images. In this work,...

In the context of low-cost video encoding, distributed coding (DVC) has recently emerged as a potential candidate for uplink-oriented applications. This paper builds on concept correlation channel (CC) modeling, which expresses noise being statistically dependent side information (SI). Compared with classical side-information-independent (SII) modeling adopted in current DVC solutions, it is theoretically proven that side-information-dependent (SID) improves Wyner-Ziv performance. Anchored...
