Image Deblurring for Mobile Devices Year Two

The wide proliferation of digital cameras has resulted in a massive flow of images captured then shared online in various forms. At the same time, capturing high-quality images with embedded cameras remains a significant challenge. One of the most common image degrading effects is motion blur, produced by camera movement while taking a photograph. This […]

A Distributed Learning and Automation System for Passive Solar Greenhouses

The proposed research focuses on optimizing the partner organization’s innovative passive solar greenhouses. We propose a distributed learning and automation system (DLAS) that collects sensing data from multiple greenhouses. The DLS learns an optimal predictive model by aggregating the local models from multiple edge devices. The DLAS keeps improving the model as more sensing data […]
