The aim of this study was to design a pattern recognition system for assisting the diagnosis of breast lesions, using image information from Ultrasound (US) and Digital Mammography (DM) imaging modalities. State-of-art computer technology was employed based on commercial Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards and parallel programming. An experienced radiologist outlined breast lesions on both […]

We have developed a numerical model that simulates the growth of small avascular solid tumors. At its core lies a set of partial differential equations that describe diffusion processes as well as transport and reaction mechanisms of a selected number of nutrients. Although the model relies on a restricted subset of molecular pathways, it compares […]

OpenCL is a relatively young industry-backed standard API that aims to provide functional portability across systems equipped with computational accelerators such as GPUs: a standard-conforming OpenCL program can be executed on any standard-conforming OpenCL implementation. OpenCL, however, does not address the issue of performance portability: transforming an OpenCL program to achieve higher performance on one […]

Depth from Defocus (DFD) suggests a simple optical set-up to recover the shape of a scene through imaging with shallow depth of field. Although numerous methods have been proposed for DFD, less attention has been paid to the particular problem of alignment between the captured images. The inherent shift-variant defocus often prevents standard registration techniques […]

In this thesis we described two frameworks for distributed smartphone computing, one for applications with compute intensive tasks and another one for applications that take contextual sensor information into account. Both frameworks provide a common structure for the development of distributed smartphone applications, thereby extending the possible distribution model options for distributed smartphone applications. Both […]

To get maximum performance on the many-core graphics processors, it is important to have an even balance of the workload so that all processing units contribute equally to the task at hand. This can be hard to achieve when the cost of a task is not known beforehand and when new sub-tasks are created dynamically […]

This paper presents an approach to create what we have called a Unified Sentiment Lexicon (USL). This approach aims at aligning, unifying, and expanding the set of sentiment lexicons which are available on the web in order to increase their robustness of coverage. One problem related to the task of the automatic unification of different […]

The work presented in this thesis takes place in a context of growing demand for image and video applications on parallel embedded systems. The limitations and lack of flexibility of current design with parallel embedded systems make increasingly complicated to implement applications, particularly on heterogeneous systems. But Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a new framework […]
