Beyond Land
Imagine navigating the vast expanse of the South Atlantic Ocean, where traditional methods like land-based stations can't reach. Here's where a groundbreaking approach emerges: using a mobile GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver to explore "ionospheric scintillation" in this remote region. Ionospheric scintillation is a rapid fluctuation in radio signals caused by variations in electron density within the upper atmosphere. The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region with a weakened magnetic field, intensifies this phenomenon. For navigation systems like GPS, scintillation can lead to errors or even signal loss. Traditionally, studying scintillation relied on land-based receivers, leaving vast ocean areas unexplored. This mobile GNSS receiver mounted on a research vessel ventures into the heart of the SAA, collecting real-time data on scintillation intensity and its effects on GNSS signals. This groundbreaking approach offers several advantages. It allows scientists to map the spatial extent of scintillation within the SAA, creating a more comprehensive picture of this phenomenon. By studying how scintillation intensity varies across the region, scientists can refine prediction models for safer navigation. Furthermore, a mobile receiver can capture the dynamic nature of scintillation. Unlike land-based stations with fixed locations, the mobile receiver offers a continuous stream of data, revealing how scintillation intensity changes over time. This data is crucial for understanding how scintillation events evolve and their potential impact on GNSS users. The information gleaned from such expeditions paves the way for improved navigation in the South Atlantic. By understanding scintillation patterns, mitigation strategies like using multiple frequencies or real-time signal correction techniques can be developed. Ultimately, venturing "beyond land" with a mobile GNSS receiver is a critical step towards ensuring safe and reliable navigation in this challeng

Frontiers of Computer Vision
This book constitutes the revised selected papers from the 30th International Workshop on Frontiers of Computer Vision, IW-FCV 2024, held in Tokyo, Japan, in February 19-21, 2024. IW-FCV 2024 is an annual workshop that brings together researchers in the field of computer vision and artificial intelligence to share their research results. This workshop was started 30 years ago as a way to strengthen networking and share research results between Japanese and Korean researchers. It has since grown in scope and influence and has become an international event since 2017. The 12 full papers, carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions, primarily focus on the fundamental theories, techniques, and algorithms related to computer vision and image signal processing, with particular emphasis on practical applications. These papers deal with the following topics: Fundamentals and Theory (e.g., image filtering / enhancement / restoration, color and illumination analysis, and image coding), Computer Vision and Image Analysis (e.g., shape from-X, object detection and tracking, and deep learning for computer vision), Applications (e.g., image/video search and retrieval, surveillance, AR/VR/MR/HR, and bio-medical image analysis), and Recognition and Learning (e.g., 2D/3D object recognition, face and gesture recognition, and human pose estimation).

LeonardoNode Location in Mobile Sensor Networks
The book offers a differentiated approach to the conception and design of localization algorithms. Due to the breadth of the subject, several reading sequences are proposed, in order to assist readers who want to delve deeper into a particular topic, while maintaining the line of reasoning in an effective and structured manner. The focus of the text is on a study involving mobile networks with different movement patterns for the nodes whose position must be computed. Unlike the traditional approach, where the objective is centered almost exclusively on the accuracy of the coordinates, this text approaches the algorithm from the point of view of a hardware localization engine. Consequently, it is concerned with the aspect of power consumption when proposing the design of an ASIC.

Improving Code Overlay Performance
Advances in electronics technology and innovative manufacturing processes havedriven the semiconductor industry towards extensive miniaturization & ever greater integrationof chip design. One consequence of this sustained evolution has been the growingrelative cost of accessing off-chip components with external memory being one of the dominantcontributors. In embedded systems and applications, where power consumption andcost are extremely crucial factors, the use of on chip Scratch Pad Memories (SPMs) hasproven to be a good alternative to caches. SPMs are more efficient than on-chip cachesin a wide variety of aspects including energy consumption, power dissipation, speed performance, area, and timing predictability. However, at the same time, they entail explicitsoftware-level management. Specifically, the system performance depends upon overlayscheme for mapping code and data onto the size-limited SPMs. It has been found that forapplications with large code sizes, the overlay overhead cost becomes significant. This workaims to evaluate and implement pre-fetching as a performance improvement technique forSPMs.
