Digital Image Processing

Image
  Image processing is the process of manipulating digital images. See a list of image processing techniques, including image enhancement, restoration, & others. Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions or more, digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.  The generation and development of digital image processing are mainly affected by three factors: first, the development of computers; second, the development of mathematics (especially the creation and improvement of discrete mathematics theory); and third, the demand for a wide range ...

NPU : Neural Processing Unit

Image
Neural processing units ( NPUs ) are specialized computer processors designed to mimic the information processing mechanisms of the human brain. They are specifically optimized for neural networks, deep learning and machine learning tasks and applications. NPUs are designed to optimize AI computations thanks to their significant performance improvements over traditional CPUs and GPUs. Differing from general-purpose central processing units (CPUs) or graphics processing units (GPUs), NPUs are tailored to accelerate AI tasks and workloads, such as calculating neural network layers composed of scalar, vector and tensor math.  Matrix multiplications, convolutions, and other linear algebraic operations essential to neural networks are best performed by NPUs. NPUs make impressive speed and efficiency advantages by utilizing parallel processing on top of memory architectures that have been tuned. Often utilized in heterogeneous computing architectures that integrate various processor...

Starting with Ubuntu

Image
Hardware is nothing but finely designed machinery. A machine is ultimately a machine only, which is always made to work. It is the kernel on an operating system that makes the hardware alive. There is a hugely popular operating system Linux which is mostly used in most sincere applications.  Linux is an open source operating system (i.e., its code is also available) created by a Finnish student Linus Torvalds . Linux is available in multiple distributions such as Ubuntu, Red Hat, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, CentOS and many more. In this session, you shall learn to work with Ubuntu distribution of Linux. It's derived from Debian and composed mostly of free and open-source software. Ubuntu is officially released in multiple editions: Desktop, Server, and Core for Internet of things devices and robots. The operating system is developed by the British company Canonical and a community of other developers, under a meritocratic governance model. Starting Ubuntu When you boot your comput...
