HYBRID APPROACH TO TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION BASED ON COLOR SEGMENTATION AND CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

This paper presents a hybrid approach to traffic sign recognition that combines classical preprocessing techniques (color segmentation, contour detection, Haar Cascade, and HOG) with a lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for classification. The proposed method reduces the amount of processed image data by a factor of 10–20, as only preselected regions of interest are passed to the neural network.

Hardware and Software of the ‘Smart’ Boat Oar for the Applied Force Measurement System

Assessment of the volume and quality of a rower's efforts during training plays an important role in preparing for competitions and improving his results. The article reviews existing commercial solutions, such as rowing simulators and individual sensor devices. It was determined that such proposals allow recording the frequency or trajectory of movement, but do not measure force. They also have limited functionality in real water conditions or high cost.

PROGRAMMABLE EMBEDDED SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVE ACOUSTICS PARAMETER RESEARCH

This paper examines the structure and functional capabilities of the programmable embedded system for adaptive acoustics parameter research – AMES (Acoustic Measurement Embedded System). The core implementation platform is the PSoC 5 LP programmable system-on-chip, which provides extensive software control over acoustic parameter measurement processes. A mixed-signal conversion method based on selective charge amplification is proposed, enhancing noise immunity and measurement accuracy.

Improving Code Compression for Arm Cortex M Microcontrollers Using Pre- Filtering

For last decades code size is no longer a concern except small embedded systems. ARM Cortex M is a typical microcontroller architecture of such systems. A simple yet effective approach based on pre- filtering Thumb2 binary code is proposed to improve code compression by the general purpose Deflate algorithm. It transforms BL (branch and link) instructions pointing to the same effective address before compression, and restores original opcodes after decompression.
