On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great honour and pleasure to welcome you to ISCE 2011, the 15th IEEE International Symposium on Consumer Electronics. For our overseas delegates, also welcome to the beautiful garden city of Singapore.
Mr Henn Tan serves as both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SGX Mainboard listed Trek 2000 International Ltd. As the founder of the company, he has been responsible for leading the management in building and developing the company's operations as well as strengthening its management structure for future growth and expansion.
Mr Poo Teng Pin is the Director of Research & Development who joined Trek in 1999. Heading the R&D team, he is actively involved in the overall project planning and execution, from initial conceptualization design work to registration of product patents. With his capabilities in firmware and software architectures, Mr Poo plays a crucial role in identifying and adopting emerging technologies...
Responsibilities: Mr. Dukes is President & CEO of IU, LLC., responsible for management and direction of advanced technologies and strategic management group that advises companies in development and investment of existing and new technologies. The focus includes high speed data systems, integrated voice, data and video systems, interactive television and video on demand systems, DSP software libraries,...
This presentation discusses the drivers for consumer digital storage, the different mobile and static usage models for digital storage in consumer devices and the resulting consumer storage hierarchy. Important characteristics of consumer storage devices are shown and guidelines are given for how digital storage should be designed in consumer devices. Demand for higher resolution content and for capturing...
Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is a technology to reduce and manage home energy use. The feedback on energy consumption to energy users is known to be effective to reduce total energy use. A typical HEMS just shows the energy consumption of the whole home and home appliances. Users cannot figure out how efficient a home appliance is, compared to the others. So it is necessary to compare the...
With the shader-language programs on the programmable rendering pipeline, we can reconfigure the internal rendering process. In this paper, we describe the design philosophy of the vertex and fragment shader programs to provide the functionality of the OpenGL SC (safety-critical profile) standard.
This paper presents two novel architectures for two-dimensional (2-D) Haar wavelet transform (HWT) of transform block in face recognition systems. The proposed architectures comprises 2-D HWT with transpose-based computation and dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) that have been synthesised using VHDL and implemented on Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs. To evaluate the proposed architecture, comparison for...
Nowadays more and more people access the Internet with their accompanying mobile devices. Performing web search activities anytime and anywhere thus becomes common. As compared to the ones sitting in front of their PCs, mobile users often search for something which is closely relevant to his or her current context, e.g., location and time, or of specific requirements. We define this kind of web searches...
Indoor air pollution is known to be one of the contributing factors that worsen the symptoms of asthma. Asthma patients often react to a range of pollutants in the inhaled air that irritate the airways of the respiratory system. By providing a low-cost solution for home air quality regulation, asthma patients can minimize the health risks linked to poor air quality. This paper introduces the use of...
Gait analysis is a very important procedure in assessing and improving many quality of life indicators. In sports, gait analysis can be used to improve athlete's performance and injury prevention. This paper presents the development of ultrasonic system in wearable instrumented shoes for gait analysis measurement in sport application. This paper begins with introduce to the requirement in the related...
This paper presents the efficient techniques that are developed to enable the use of the 2D SVG display technology for 3D graphic display applications. Specifically, these techniques are used to enable the display of 2D SVG coded digital map in 3D view, e.g. with buildings in 3D display, hence providing a more realistic view when used in application like navigation system.
Malaysia has been recognized as one of the twelve nations endowed with rich biodiversity. Such huge number of species in the rain forest and sea are an important asset that need to be properly documented. Responding to these important needs, we have designed and evaluated a content based image retrieval system catered for marine life images. This paper investigates the effectiveness of various low...
With the development of low-cost and lightweight Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors, it has become possible to efficiently develop an attitude estimator, thus renewing the interests into vertical-take-off and landing (VTOL) aircrafts. A quadrotor with an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) was built from scratch for investigation of heterogeneous sensor data fusion and attitude stabilization...
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for monitoring of animal behaviours has been proposed. Preliminary results are presented here in order to demonstrate the potential of the system, which is aimed to investigate wild life of two species of monkeys in their natural habitat in the Mexican jungle. The novel platform comprises sensing nodes capable of measuring and recording the position, posture and activity...
