Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Smart embedded systems have recently been the focus of intensive research and development due to their significant potential to improve the quality of human life in areas such as healthcare, security and safety, home living, city living and many others. Machine learning algorithms can be used to design intelligent embedded devices. Recently, deep neural networks (DNN), such as CNN, RNN, LSTM, GAN and SNN, have achieved superior performances in accuracy when compared to other machine learning algorithms, but they require more computing and memory resources, as well as energy. However, computing platforms of embedded systems have limited computing power, memory and energy. So, the implementation of DNNs in embedded systems is currently a major topic in the scientific community and requires further innovation in its development and application. This Special Issue aims to collect recent research with a focus on deploying DNNs in embedded computing systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • DNN models for embedded systems;
  • Optimization of DNN models for embedded computing;
  • Quantization and sparsification of DNN models;
  • Implementation of DNN in embedded GPUs;
  • Implementation of DNN in low-cost computing platforms;
  • Reconfigurable architectures for DNN in embedded systems;
  • Very low-power embedded platforms for DNNs;
  • Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures for embedded deep learning;
  • Design methodologies for DNN on embedded systems;
  • Design of DNN for IoT devices;
  • Software tools to help design smart embedded systems;
  • Applications of DNN on health, smart homes, smart cities, security, surveillance, etc.;
  • Smart embedded systems for industrial IoT;
  • Designing DNN for robotics.

In recent years, image and video super-resolution have gained attention outside the computer vision community due to the outstanding results produced by applying deep-learning models to solve the super-resolution problem. These models have been used to improve the quality of videos and images. In the last decade, video-streaming applications have also become popular. Consequently, they have generated traffic with an increasing quantity of data in network infrastructures, which continues to grow, e.g., global video traffic is forecast to increase from 75% in 2017 to 82% in 2022. In this paper, we leverage the power of deep-learning-based super-resolution methods and implement a model for video super-resolution, which we call VSRGAN+. We train our model with a dataset proposed to teach systems for high-level visual comprehension tasks. We also test it on a large-scale JND-based coded video quality dataset containing 220 video clips with four different resolutions. Additionally, we propose a cloud video-delivery framework that uses video super-resolution. According to our findings, the VSRGAN+ model can reconstruct videos without perceptual distinction of the ground truth. Using this model with added compression can decrease the quantity of data delivered to surrogate servers in a cloud video-delivery framework. The traffic decrease reaches 98.42% in total.
