Data-driven Video Codec with Implicit Neural Representations

A conventional codec stores a video as compressed pixel data. We instead store the video, together with its audio track, as the weights of a single sinusoidal representation network (SIREN) that maps space-time coordinates to RGB values and audio amplitudes. The network uses separate audio and video initialization layers, a stack of shared fully connected hidden layers, and three output branches: one for video and two Siamese audio branches whose disagreement is used to estimate and subtract residual noise. The overfitted teacher network is then compressed by response-based knowledge distillation into a smaller student, followed by 16-bit symmetric weight quantization and lossless LZMA2 (xz) encoding. On a 6.08 MiB test video, the quantized student reaches a video PSNR of 28.72 dB with SSIM of 0.75, and an audio PSNR of 24.18 dB with a log spectral distance of 10.69 dB, while the pipeline shrinks the representation from 9.05 MiB to 2.33 MiB, an overall compression ratio of 2.61. A bit-width sweep from 1-bit to 32-bit quantization shows that reconstruction quality saturates at 16 bits. We compare against H.264, HEVC, and MP3, report where the approach falls short of them, and describe a browser-based prototype that trains, transfers, and decodes these models over WebRTC.

CNN-LSTM Hybrid Architecture for Over-the-Air Automatic Modulation Classification Using SDR

Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is a core technology for future wireless communication systems, enabling the identification of modulation schemes without prior knowledge. This capability is essential for applications in cognitive radio, spectrum monitoring, and intelligent communication networks. We propose an AMC system based on a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architecture, integrated with a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. The proposed architecture leverages CNNs for spatial feature extraction and LSTMs for capturing temporal dependencies, enabling efficient handling of complex, time-varying communication signals. The system's practical ability was demonstrated by identifying over-the-air (OTA) signals from a custom-built FM transmitter alongside other modulation schemes. The system was trained on a hybrid dataset combining the RadioML2018 dataset with a custom-generated dataset, featuring samples at Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) from 0 to 30dB. System performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC). The optimized model achieved 93.48% accuracy, 93.53% precision, 93.48% recall, and an F1 score of 93.45%. The AUC-ROC analysis confirmed the model's discriminative power, even in noisy conditions. This paper's experimental results validate the effectiveness of the hybrid CNN-LSTM architecture for AMC, suggesting its potential application in adaptive spectrum management and advanced cognitive radio systems.

Wavelet-Space Representations for Neural Super-Resolution in Rendering Pipelines

We investigate the use of wavelet-space feature decomposition in neural super-resolution for rendering pipelines. Building on recent neural upscaling frameworks, we introduce a formulation that predicts stationary wavelet coefficients rather than directly regressing RGB values. This frequency-aware decomposition separates low- and high-frequency components, enabling sharper texture recovery and reducing blur in challenging regions. Unlike conventional wavelet transforms, our use of the stationary wavelet transform (SWT) preserves spatial alignment across subbands, allowing the network to integrate G-buffer attributes and temporally warped history frames in a shift-invariant manner. The predicted coefficients are recombined through inverse wavelet synthesis, producing resolution-consistent reconstructions across arbitrary scale factors. We conduct extensive evaluations and ablations, showing that incorporating SWT improves both fidelity and perceptual quality with only modest overhead, while remaining compatible with standard rendering architectures. Taken together, our results suggest that wavelet-domain neural super-resolution provides a principled and efficient path toward higher-quality real-time rendering, with broader implications for neural rendering and graphics applications.

Mechanical Automation with Vision: A Design for Rubik's Cube Solver

The core mechanical system is built around three stepper motors for physical manipulation, a microcontroller for hardware control, a camera and YOLO detection model for real-time cube state detection. A significant software component is the development of a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) designed in Unity. The initial state after detection from real-time YOLOv8 model (Precision 0.98443, Recall 0.98419, Box Loss 0.42051, Class Loss 0.2611) is virtualized on GUI. To get the solution, the system employs the Kociemba's algorithm while physical manipulation with a single degree of freedom is done by combination of stepper motors' interaction with the cube achieving the average solving time of ~2.2 minutes.

A Comparative Study on Code Generation with Transformers

In an era of widespread influence of Natural Language Processing (NLP), there have been multiple research efforts to supplant traditional manual coding techniques with automated systems capable of generating solutions autonomously. With rapid research for code generation and a sole focus on large language models, there emerges a need to compare and evaluate the performance of transformer architectures based on several complexities of the model. This paper introduces the concept of a "A Comparative Study on Code Generation with Transformers," a model based on Transformer architecture, and NLP methodologies to automatically generate C++ source code for different varieties of problems. Here, a comparative study is performed to evaluate the robustness of transformer-based models on the basis of their architecture complexities and their capability to handle diverse problem sets, from basic arithmetic to complex computations.

Image Enhancement and Object Recognition for Night Vision Surveillance

Object recognition is a critical part of any surveillance system. It is the matter of utmost concern to identify intruders and foreign objects in the area where surveillance is done. The performance of surveillance system using the traditional camera in daylight is vastly superior as compared to night. The main problem for surveillance during the night is the objects captured by traditional cameras have low contrast against the background because of the absence of ambient light in the visible spectrum. Due to that reason, the image is taken in low light condition using an Infrared Camera and the image is enhanced to obtain an image with higher contrast using different enhancing algorithms based on the spatial domain. The enhanced image is then sent to the classification process. The classification is done by using convolutional neural network followed by a fully connected layer of neurons. The accuracy of classification after implementing different enhancement algorithms is compared in this paper.
