    Low Complexity Feature Point Detection and Tracking using CUDA

    No full text
    High speed feature point detection and tracking is very demanding for many realtime computer vision applications. In existing work, the commonly used feature point detection algorithms like Harris and KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) and feature tracking algorithm (Pyramidal-KLT) were redesigned to increase the performance by reducing the algorithmic complexity, resulting in the Low Complexity Corner detector (LOCOCO) and Robust Low Complexity Feature tracking (RLCT) algorithms. To attain further speedup, this report proposes the implementation of these low complexity detection and tracking algorithms on a massively parallel architecture of the modern graphics processing units (GPUs) using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). In the computing domain, due to semiconductor scaling limits and associated power and thermal challenges, combined with the difficulty of exploiting greater levels of instruction level parallelism, a paradigm shift is happening from a single core to many-core processors and massively multi-processing platforms. High performance is now available on single-chip commodity GPUs. Moreover, GPUs are no longer limited to graphics applications, but are emerging as usable general purpose computing devices. Advancement in such platforms, are making many computational intensive problems that were solvable only on supercomputing systems, to be computed on desktop systems, at a reduced price, and lower power requirements. The arrival of this new generation of low-cost high performance computing platforms presents both numerous opportunities and challenges. In this report, we present the use of such high performance many-core GPU platforms to obtain speedup by mapping general purpose computations to massively parallel architectures. It is observed, when properly executed, GPU adaptation of algorithms can result in significant savings in computation times. For an image size of 960x960 pixels, the low complexity corner detector and robust low complexity feature tracking algorithms are factor of 16 and 25 times faster on a GeForce 280 GTX GPU than the corresponding implementation on an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz, and 2GB RAM CPU.Computer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards: observations and limitations

    No full text
    The recently introduced Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), which came into force in April 2009, was created to protect the liberty of people lacking capacity admitted to care homes and hospitals in England and Wales. This paper discusses observations and some limitations of the DoLS for protecting the liberty of residents within institutional settings. The regulation, safeguards and recent relevant case law are examined critically. The author suggests that their effectiveness may be limited by the under-recognition of cases, ambiguity and limited safeguards within the statute. The paper concludes that the DoLS legislation has been a positive step towards protecting the liberty of those lacking capacity but that limitations present could undermine the purpose of the legislation. </jats:p

    Black Space and the Environment

    "Black Space and the Environment" is a dynamic 3D data visualization project inspired by W.E.B DuBois's 1900 exhibit "The American Negro". Focusing on Pennsylvania, the project uses color and spatial analysis to reveal the impact of environmental conditions on the state's Black population. The visualization draws on data from the American Lung Association's State of the Air 2022 report and the U.S. Census Bureau to highlight correlations between disease rates and Black population density. This project aims to analyze the differential impacts of certain conditions on Black Americans and invites viewers to consider ways to combat these disproportionate outcomes. The interactive visualization can be found at arjunphull123.github.io/black-space.

    A preparatory study for carbon dioxide activation and revisitation of a crystallographic pitfall

    Ruthenium beta-diketiminate complexes were studied in attempts to observe small molecule activation. [eta-p-cymene(iPrArNCMe) 2C]Ru[(iPrArNCMe)2CH] was prepared by the reaction of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 with 2 equivalents of [(iPrArNCMe)2CH]K in hexanes. The resulting complex was characterized by X-ray crystallography and 1 H NMR. Attempts to reduce the complex in-situ using potassium, sodium metal and sodium hydride afford [(iPrArNCMe) 2CH]Ru[eta5-1-methyl-4-(propan-2-ylidene)cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl]. The resulting complex was characterized by X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR. The formation of [eta5-p-cymene( iPrArNCMe)2C]Ru[(iPrArNCMe)2CH] and [(iPrArNCMe)2CH]Ru[eta5-1-methyl-4-(propan-2-ylidene)cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl] is attributed to nucleophilic attack and dehydrogenation of the pi-bound p-cymene ring respectively. While exploring small molecule activation on ruthenium systems a publication detailing the formation of an unprecedented Mg/Al-containing cluster [{R 2Al(mu-NSiMe3)(mu-OSiMe3)Mg(THF)2(mu- O2C)3]&dot;2 THF (R = Me (A), Et (B)) detailed the first end-on CO2 coordination to a d0 main group metal. This claim prompted a re-investigation of the complex and through detailed X-ray, DFT and NMR analysis the cluster is appropriated re-assigned as [{Me2Al(mu-OSiMe3) 2Mg(THF)2(mu-OCN)}]&middot;1.5 THF
