ABSTRACT Image processing system design usually focuses on optimizing the routines needed to solve the problem at hand. It is usually taken for granted that the number of frames to be processed matches the frame rate of the imaging sensor. However, several factors may reduce the effective frame processing rate. In this article, we focus on the effect of memory management and process synchronization on frame acquisition. As more abstraction layers are added to existing image processing tools software coding becomes easier but the control over the image acquisition process decreases. For high-end systems this may not be a problem but for systems with lower processing power the efficient use of memory and CPU is necessary. In this paper, we present and evaluate several image acquisition approaches in the context of a Hyperspectral imaging system that takes as input RAW images to build a HS data cube.

INTRODUCTION This design proposal is about the study of an optical device known as the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) via simulation and to verify its operation experimentally. The device will be fabricated using Silicon over Insulator (SOI) technology. These types of interferometers are commonly employed in telecommunications applications such as switches, modulators and filters. Also, in sensing applications, MZI’s are commonly employed to allow one of the arms of a interferometer to interact with an analyte via a waveguide’s evanescent field. In this draft design, two devices were chosen. The first is a simple MZI with different path length differences ΔL. An explanation of a MZI operation is thus presented. The second device is a basic filter based on two cascaded interferometers. Also, the basic theory of a lossless two stage MZI filter is presented. Here in this report simulations in terms of optical component and circuit device are shown, which later on will be compared with experimental results after device fabrication.

INTRODUCCION En este documento se analizara las perspectivas de desarollo de la carrera de Telecomunicaciones tomando en cuenta tres situaciones: las infraestructuras de telecomunicaciones y planes de gobierno, temas de aplicacion a futuro y tecnologias habilitantes que posibilitaran los temas de aplicacion. En lo concerniente a infraestructuras este informe incorpora los resultados de estudios realizado por la SENPLADES y Ministerio de Telecomunicaciones y Sociedad de Informacion. El Ecuador se encuentra actualmente en un proceso de cambio de matriz productiva y energetica, el cual requerira de nuevas infrastructuras de telecomunicaciones. Un ejemplo que se menciona es el cambio de television analogica a digital mediante tecnologia TDT. Para el horizonte del ano 2025, se avizoran tematicas de aplicacion cuyo alcance es global. En este informe se describira aplicaciones TIC como el Internet de las Cosas (IoT), la transportacion inteligente, la gestion de recursos de acceso a radio y las redes de comunicacion avanzadas. Finalmente, se analizara aspectos tecnologicos que posiblemente permitiran llegar a aplicaciones de comunicacion futura.
