Profile
Our group focuses on research, development and implementation of advanced digital signal processing algorithms, mainly in the fields of adaptive control and audio processing. We build on our experience with statistics, namely with the Bayesian approach to system identification and modeling, as well as the relevant fields of linear algebra.
Our target platforms are Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). We use Matlab/Simulink to specify, model and verify algorithms that we later convert and synthesize to HW. As such specialized solutions are likely to be used in embedded systems, we also research features that result in extremely fast execution, use small amount of memory, small chip area or low power consumption. We achieve this both through designing new or modifying existing DSP algorithms, and using architectural properties such as dynamic reconfiguration of FPGAs...

SOIL Project
The EU research project SOIL has started 1 June 2024. The project is financed by investments from industry, subsidies from the individual participating countries and the Chips JU programme. Our group develops ultrasound sensor of electric discharges on power distribution lines. We develop ultrasound beamformer working with circular microphone phase array of 32 ultrasound microphones.
StorAIge use case: AI self-trained, ultrasound-based, hand gesture recognition
In the frame of StorAIge project our group developed the use case AI self-trained, ultrasound-based, hand gesture recognition. This use case fits to the Gesture recognition application field.
StorAIge 2nd Review Meeting
The 2nd Review meeting of StorAIge project was held at STMicroelectronics in Crolles, France, 10th -11th October 2023. During the session devoted to StorAIge's live demonstrators, our colleague Jiri Kadlec presented UTIA implementation of HW accelerated AI pose-detection algorithm with full HD HDMI camera input.

Presentation at Hora Informaticae seminar June 13, 2023
Our colleague Jiri Kadlec will have a talk about HW Accelerated AI Inference and Fast, Recursive QR System Identification. See HORA INFORMATICAE scientific seminar on June 13, 2023, 14 – 15:30 hours at the Institute of Computer Science of the CAS.
Presentation at DATE 2023 PhD Forum
Our colleague Raissa Likhonina succesfully presented a poster entitled Fast Bayesian Algorithms for FPGA Platforms at the DATE 2023 PhD forum on 17 April 2023. The PhD Forum is a poster session hosted by the European Design Automation Association (EDAA), the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA), and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA). It is a great opportunity for young people to present their work to a broad audience in the system design and design automation community from both industry and academia.
