  • Publication number: 20230154154
    Abstract: State of art techniques rely of FPGA based approaches when power efficiency is of concern. However, compared to SNN on Neuromorphic hardware, ANN on FPGA requires higher power and longer design cycles to deploy neural network on hardware accelerators. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for energy efficient hierarchical multi-stage SNN architecture for classification and segmentation of high-resolution images. Patch-to-patch-class classification approach is used, where the image is divided into smaller patches, and classified at first stage into multiple labels based on percentage coverage of a parameter of interest, for example, cloud coverage in satellite images. The image portion corresponding to the partially covered patches is divided into further smaller size patches, classified by a binary classifier at second level of classification.

  • Publication number: 20230152212
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method and system for a non-invasive mechanism providing simultaneous determination of viscosity-temperature variation of a lubricant for predicting machine health using a Photo Acoustic (PA) sensing mechanism, Laser-enabled swept frequency acoustic interferometry (LE-SFAI), wherein the lubricant produces acoustic wave only if it absorbs the laser irradiation, thus overcomes the limitation of ultrasound based SFAI through optical absorption based contrast and proper selection of laser excitation wavelength. A PA signal received from the lubricant is processed by a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), then converted to time domain to obtain normalized first peak that corresponds to the PA signal generated by the lubricant. A squared rise time of the first peak is indicative of viscosity of the liquid and shift in the first peak is indicative of variation of the viscosity as temperature of the lubricant varies.

  • Publication number: 20230095525
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to the field of structural health monitoring, and, more particularly, to a method and system for evaluating residual life of components made of composite materials. Existing methods require performing computational methods such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the results of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) every time a component is inspected. This makes the process expensive and time-consuming. Thus, embodiments of present disclosure provide a method wherein NDT is performed using different sensing methods such as ultrasound, ultrasound pulse echo, thermography to determine type of defect, location of defect and depth of defect in a test component which are then fed into a pre-trained machine learning model to predict residual life of the component. Testing time is greatly reduced since the pre-trained machine learning model is trained offline using results of the computational methods.

  • Patent number: 11593469
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method and system for continuously validating a user during an established authenticated session using Photoplethysmogram (PPG) and accelerometer data. State of the art approaches are mostly based on feature extraction and ML modelling for PPG based continuous session validation, while a template based approach in the art follows a complicated approach. The method disclosed herein utilizes less computation intensive template based approach to continuously validate the user across the session. The method comprises preprocessing a PPG data or PPG signal acquired from a wearable device worn by the user to identify segments of negligible motion. A first segment, after authentication using conventional authentication mechanism, serves as the initial reference. The chosen segments are then tested one by one with respect to the reference. If the templates in a segment match those of the reference, it is updated as the new reference, else a re-authentication is triggered.

  • Publication number: 20220375199
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for co-operative and cascaded inference on the edge device using an integrated Deep Learning (DL) model for object detection and localization, which comprises a strong classifier trained on largely available datasets and a weak localizer trained on scarcely available datasets, and work in coordination to first detect object (fire) in every input frame using the classifier, and then trigger a localizer only for the frames that are classified as fire frames. The classifier and the localizer of the integrated DL model are jointly trained using Multitask Learning approach. Works in literature hardly address the technical challenge of embedding such integrated DL model to be deployed on edge devices. The method provides an optimal hardware software partitioning approach for components or segments of the integrated DL model which achieves a tradeoff between latency and accuracy in object classification and localization.

  • Patent number: 11488026
    Abstract: A growing need for inferencing to be run on fog devices exists, in order to reduce the upstream network traffic. However, being computationally constrained in nature, executing complex deep inferencing models on such devices has been proved difficult. A system and method for partitioning of deep convolution neural network for execution of computationally constraint devices at a network edge has been provided. The system is configured to use depth wise input partitioning of convolutional operations in deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). The convolution operation is performed based on an input filter depth and number of filters for determining the appropriate parameters for partitioning based on an inference speedup method. The system uses a master-slave network for partitioning the input. The system is configured to address these problems by depth wise partitioning of input which ensures speedup inference of convolution operations by reducing pixel overlaps.
