Asynchrony Increases Efficiency: Time Encoding of Videos and Low-Rank Signals

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Karen Adam

In event-based sensing, many sensors independently and asynchronously emit events when there is a change in their input. Event-based sensing can present significant improvements in power efficiency when compared to traditional sampling, because (1) the out ...

How Asynchronous Events Encode Video

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Karen Adam

As event-based sensing gains in popularity, theoretical understanding is needed to harness this technology’s potential. Instead of recording video by capturing frames, event-based cameras have sensors that emit events when their inputs change, thus encodin ...

Localizing the Source of an Epidemic Using Few Observations

Brunella Marta Spinelli

Localizing the source of an epidemic is a crucial task in many contexts, including the detection of malicious users in social networks and the identification of patient zeros of disease outbreaks. The difficulty of this task lies in the strict limitation ...

A General Framework for Sensor Placement in Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

When an epidemic spreads in a given network of individuals or communities, can we detect its source using only the information provided by a small set of nodes? We propose a general framework that incorporates two dimensions. First, we can either rely excl ...

An Algorithm Architecture Co-Design for CMOS Compressive High Dynamic Range Imaging

Pierre Vandergheynst, William Guicquéro, Antoine Dupret

Standard image sensors feature dynamic range about 60 to 70 dB while the light flux of natural scenes may be over 120 dB. Most imagers dedicated to address such dynamic ranges, need specific, and large pixels. However, canonical imagers can be used for hig ...
