This paper introduces a novel architecture for next-generation adaptive computing systems, which we term 3D-SoftChip. The 3D-SoftChip is a 3-dimensional (3D) vertically integrated adaptive computing system combining state-of-the-art processing and 3D interconnection technology. It comprises the vertical integration of two chips (a configurable array processor and an intelligent configurable switch) through an indium bump interconnection array (IBIA). The configurable array processor (CAP) is an array of heterogeneous processing elements (PEs), while the intelligent configurable switch (ICS) comprises a switch block, 32bit dedicated RISC processor for control, on-chip program/data memory, data frame buffer, along with a direct memory access (DMA) controller. This paper introduces the novel 3D-SoftChip architecture for real-time communication and multimedia signal processing as a next-generation computing system. The paper further describes the advanced HW/SW codesign and verification methodology, including high-level system modeling of the 3D-SoftChip using SystemC, being used to determine the optimum hardware specification in the early design stage.

Abstract. This paper introduces a semi-automatic segmentation method which can be used to generate VOP for object based coding schemes and multimedia authoring environment etc. Semi-automatic segmentation can be thought of as a user-assisted segmentation technique. A user can initially mark objects of interest around the object boundaries. Then the user-guided and selected objects are continuously separated from the unselected areas though time evolution in the image sequences. Our proposed method shows very promising results and this encourages the development of objects based video editing.

This research shows a 1mW Low Power and real-time imaging Tx/Rx communication system via RF-delay smart Antenna using up to 10GHz UWB(Ultra WideBand) as a concept of Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS). This UTCOMS (COMmunication System for Nano-scale USLI designed Endoscope using UWB technology) results in less body loss(about 6~13dB) at high frequency, disposable and ingestible compact size of 5×10 mm 2 and multifunction, bidirectional communications, independent subsystem control multichannel, and high sensitivity smart receiving antenna of three-dimensional image captured still and moving images.
