Efficient hardware implementations routinely approximate mathematical functions with look-up tables, while keeping the error of the approximation under control. For a certain class of commonly occurring 1D functions, namely monotonically increasing or decreasing functions, we found that it is possible to approximate such functions by repeated application of a very low resolution 1D look-up table. There are many advantages to cascading multiple identical LUTs, including the promise of a very simple hardware design and the use of standard linear interpolation. Further, the complexity associated with unequal bin sizes can be avoided. We show that for realistic applications, including gamma correction, high dynamic range encoding and decoding curves, as well as tone mapping and inverse tone mapping applications, multiple cascaded look-up tables can reduce the approximation error by more than 50% compared to a single look-up table with the same total memory footprint.

Plantar pressure distribution measurement is significant for healthy monitoring and disease diagnosis. However, existing equipment lack of high-density resolution and may lead under-diagnosed of small abnormal regions. To address problem, we propose a special high resolution and low cost Baropodometry based on vision based tactile sensing (VBTS).

Single-lead electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring wearables are becoming candidate technologies for long-term remote monitoring applications. Current wearable disadvantages include high power consumption from computational complex pre-processing leading to low battery life. A hardware (HW) architecture for dry electrode-based ECG signal processing to increase wearable longevity is proposed.

Background: Dual-energy (DE) x-ray image acquisition has the potential to provide material-specific angiographic images in the interventional suite. This approach can be implemented with novel detector technologies, such as dual-layer and photon-counting detectors. Alternatively, DE imaging can be implemented on existing systems using fast kV-switching.

Image pre-processing has significant impact on performance of deep learning models in medicine; yet, there is no standardized method for DICOM pre-processing. In this study, we investigate the impact of two commonly used image preprocessing techniques, histogram equalization (HE) and values-of-interest look-up-table (VOI-LUT) transformations on the performance deep learning classifiers for chest X-rays (CXR). We generated two baseline datasets (raw pixel and standard DICOM processed) from our internal CXR dataset and then enhanced both with HE to create four distinct datasets.
