CS: Some more ICASSP 2010 coverage: The Show&Tell: Sub-Nyquist receiver for wideband analog signals and a free Beagle Board

Moshe Mishali just sent me the following:

Hi Igor,

Just read in your blog that you are covering this ICASSP.

We will be presenting a demo of our sub-Nyquist sampler in the show&tell event (Wed. morning). The system was previously featured in your blog. A video of hardware experiments is now posted online.

Relevant material can also be found in the hardware section of Prof. Yonina Eldar.

In addition, we will discuss new results in the SPTM-L5 session (Thursday morning, two last talks).

thanks,

-moshiko.

I'll be adding the video and the link in the compressive sensing hardware section. Thanks Moshiko!

Jason Kridner spotted my conversation on Twitter with Eric and he told us the following:

@igorcarron @fujikanaeda Don't miss the #BeagleBoard workshop at #ICASSP2010 today at 1:30 http://tinyurl.com/bbicassp2010

From the ICASSP page, if you go to Jason's session, it looks like you can score a free BeagleBoard which as you may recall allows you to drive the DLP Pico projector kit used in single pixel camera applications. If I were there I would be asking plenty of questions :)

Texas Instruments: 32-bit Embedded Linux-based Signal Processing – Hands on Workshop

When: Monday, March 15, 13:30 - 17:00

Where: Live Oak Room

Today’s media handling embedded processors have come a long way from the limited performance of 8-bit embedded processors or the limit functionality of a dedicated DSP chip. This hands-on BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) workshop presents ideas on how to use TI’s OMAP 3530-based BeagleBoard (www.BeagleBoard.org) for teaching embedded media processing using Open Source resources. The BeagleBoard is Open Source hardware that has sold over 13,000 units since its introduction less than 2 years ago.

Pre-workshop activities include loading an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine on your own laptop. The 3-hour Workshop activities will include 1) several demonstrations of what the Beagle can do, including streaming video, synthesizing speech and running as a simple web server, 2) Discussions of what topics to include in an embedded Linux class for signal processing and 3) Several hands-on exercises to get participants familiar with using the Beagle.

Participants will leave the workshop with a BeagleBoard and their laptop computer configured to teach with the BeagleBoard.

Presenters: Mark A. Yoder, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology; Gerald Coley, Texas Instruments

Thanks Jason !
