Generic information

Description

The Laboratory research interest focuses on sensor arrays and on the efficient processing of their signals with many-core custom designed processor arrays. Our research aims one of the most important problems of the current computer science, namely, how to implement and design multi-core processor architecture that can solve data intensive tasks efficiently. Researches in our laboratory require the next fields of science: Image processing, programming and design many-core processor arrays, design of silicon-based sensors, optics, holography, and the application of parallel processing architectures.

Main Research Areas

Design and programming of many-core processor systems
Automatic collision avoidance of UAV-s, visual navigation
Design and application of the Color Digital Holographic Microscopes
Solve the automatic monitoring of microbiological organisms
Design of the silicon-based THz sensor arrays
Implementation and application of THz imaging
Implementation of high-speed computing on FPGA architectures

Main Achievements

In cooperation with the Waterworks of Budapest we have developed an automatic water quality monitoring system DHM. This device, by using the digital holographic microscope technology, is capable to detect, classify and count algae in water samples real time.
Water quality monitoring device is developed for waterworks cooperation with Knot Ltd., where we can real-time detect and count the number of worms. Proliferation of the worms, otherwise, is a byproduct of the applied filtering process.
On board visual collision forecast and avoidance system has been developed for motor vehicles and for UAVs. (LOCUST project, VOLVO, IMSE and SZTAKI-SCL, PPKE, ONR).
Extremely high sensitivity silicon based THz sensor array has been developed and it can be applied for special imaging solutions.
High speed computing is implemented on FPGA architectures Kiloproc. This makes it possible to simulate partial differential equations close to real time rates.

Products/Services

Automatic biological water monitoring
Volumetric, holographic microscopy
Automatic, on board, visual collision forecast and avoidance systems.
Design of THz sensor arrays, system-on-a-chip and imaging
High speed computing by FPGA
IBM CELL Blade cluster can be used for research purposes after registration (contact).
