Our research topics

Deep Learning

Deep learning is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning data representations, as opposed to task-specific algorithms

Deep Learning

Machine learning is an expression used to describe systems that automatically learn to make predictions about some attributes of a data instance, such as the content of a picture or the evolution of the stock market, from a set of training data.

Deep learning describes a set of recent advancements in the fields of neural network, specifically referring to architectures and techniques leveraging an high number of hidden layers, thus described as deep neural networks.

Deep learning currently represents the state of the art in many machine learning tasks, especially in computer vision tasks, where deep architectures obtain super-human performances.

Deep neural networks have also enabled a number of surprising tasks, such as the generation of images from text descriptions and models that generate new deep architectures.

COMLAB’s publications about Deep Learning are:

Internet of Things

A way of putting in communication billions of common objects

Internet of Things

In recent years, a huge amount of devices are connected to the Internet more than people. In 2020 there will be 50 billions of "things" connected to the Internet. It is then foreseen to have 7 devices per person. This has carried out to the evolution of a new emerging paradigm, namely the Internet of Things (IoT). In IoT scenarios, a large number of devices – and more in general objects – are seamlessly connected to each another for information sharing through the Internet.

Due to the huge amount of heterogeneous devices, information sharing among IoT devices is one of the biggest challenges. Classic Internet approaches need to be revised to address the complex requirements imposed by IoT. This asks for the development of intelligent algorithms for routing, information sharing security, novel network paradigms, new services, and advanced techniques for data fusion.

Among the main IoT applications we cite:

Transportation and logistic domain: inventory, product management, object tracking, parking/traffic, etc.;
Health-care domain: data collection, person/medicine tracking, etc.;
Smart cities domain: [industrial/company side] energy and smart grid, smart metering, industrial plants, infrastructure/utilities, agriculture; [people side] smart home, smart building, environmental monitoring, security (e.g. fire and elevators) and surveillance, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (i.e., HVAC), lighting, sensors (e.g. temperature, humidity, gases presence), etc.;
Personal and social domain: entertainment, social networking, personal objects (losses, thefts), appliances, etc.

Nano-scale Communications

The last few years have seen the development and diffusion of miniature nanoscale devices such as nanobots and nanoparticles that need to be able to communicate with each other and with other devices

Nano-scale Communications

Molecular communications

In the past few years, nanotechnology has emerged as an evolution of technology enabling the design of miniaturized nanoscale devices, i.e., nanorobots and nanoparticles. The behaviors and characteristics of nanodevices distinguish them from the well-known features of devices at the macroscale level. A nanodevice is the most basic functional unit, allowed to perform very easy tasks, like sensing or actuation, due to the passive nature of these devices.

A set of nanodevices, sharing the same medium (e.g., the human blood flow) and collaborating on a common task (e.g., to deliver a drug concentration to a receptor), forms a nanonetwork. Nanonetworks are expected to expand the capabilities of single nanodevices and then to enable new nanotechnology applications in several fields.

Communication and signal transmission techniques occurring in nanonetworks are challenging topics, due to the limited computation skill of nanodevices. Molecular communication is largely exploited for nanonetworks. This is a novel communication paradigm, envisaged as the most practical way in which nanorobots can communicate with each other by the use of molecules as information carriers.

THz-band communications

Still in the context of nano-scale communications, the potentialities of the Terahertz (THz) frequency band are largely increasing, thanks to specific features that allow issues related to the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitation to be overcome.

The Terahertz band has been identified in the range (0.06 − 10) THz and represents one of the most promising spectrum bands to enable ultra-high-speed communications. Also, since existing channel models adopted for lower frequency bands are unsuitable for THz communications, the need of novel channel models specific for this frequency range is a challenge. Differently from traditional lower frequency bands, where the propagation is mainly influenced by the spreading loss only, the physical mechanisms in a THz-band wireless transmission are a very high molecular absorption loss, spreading loss and molecular absorption loss.

Optical wireless communications

A data communication whose main advantages are: free license, high data rates, security and no RF interference

Optical wireless communications

In recent years, wireless communications have significantly evolved due to the advanced technology of smartphones, portable devices and the rapid growth of Internet of Things, e-Health, Intelligent Transportation Systems and social networking. Forecasted by Cisco, the wireless mobile traffic will be dominant over the data network towards a new connected world in 2020, with also the upcoming 5G systems.

Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) are a complementary wireless communications technology to the more established radio frequency (RF) based systems such as cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in order to overcome the spectrum crunch and provide high data rates. The OWC technology offers advantages such as free license, wide bandwidth, inherent security and no RF-based interference, which makes it very attractive for the emerging 5G wireless communications. Nevertheless, the widespread deployment of optical wireless systems, namely infra-red, ultra-violet and visible light communications (VLC), will face a number of challenged including the weather effects (mostly outdoor), eye and skin safety regulations, compatibility with existing networks, mobility (mostly in outdoor environment), cost per device and volume and device/system performance.

COMLAB is involved in several initiatives about OWC systems, such as:

Vehicular Ad-hoc networks

An emerging technology aimed at improving road safety in the event of driver mistakes or bad road conditions

Vehicular Ad-hoc networks

Nowadays, several automotive manufacturers are looking forward to reach the goals envisioned by Vision 2020 action plan. Particularly, in 2012 the European Commission tabled the CARS 2020 Action Plan, aimed at reinforcing this industry’s competitiveness and sustainability heading towards 2020. The CAR 2020 Action Plan is supported by CARS 21 (Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21 st century) Group, which provides recommendations to help car industry reaching new focuses, particularly those ones addressed to road safety. Indeed, it is known that worldwide more than one million people are killed, or injured in traffic accidents every year, mainly due to drivers’ misbehavior and bad road conditions.

Wireless ad hoc networks for vehicular environment i.e., the Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a particular class of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), characterized by high (variable) vehicle speed, hostile propagation environment and quickly changing network topologies. Opportunistic routing has been extended to VANETs in order to disseminate information and improve connectivity among vehicles. Message propagation occurs through (i) Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) links built dynamically, where any vehicle can be used as next hop, so to form an end-to-end path toward a final destination and (ii) Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) links, assuming ubiquitous deployment of fixed road-side units.

COMLAB is involved in several initiatives about VANETs, such as:

3DSwIM

Depth-Image-Based-Rendering (DIBR) techniques are essential for three dimensional (3D) video applications such as 3D Television (3DTV) and Free-Viewpoint Video.
However, this process is based on 3D warping and can induce serious distortions whose impact on the perceived quality is far different from the one experienced in the 2D imaging processes.
Since quality evaluation of DIBR-synthesized views is fundamental for the design of perceptually-friendly 3D video systems, an appropriate objective quality metric targeting the assessment of DIBR-synthesized views is momentous.
Most of 2D objective quality metrics fail in assessing the visual quality of DIBR-synthesized views because they have not been conceived for addressing the specificities of DIBR-related distortions.
In this paper, a new fullreference objective quality metric dedicated to artifacts detection in DIBR-synthesized view-points is presented.
The proposed scheme relies on a comparison of statistical features of wavelet subbands of two input images: the original image and the DIBR-based synthesized image.
A registration step is included before the comparison step so that best matching blocks are always compared to ensure "shifting-resilience".
In addition, a skin detection step weights the final quality score in order to penalize distorted blocks containing "skin-pixels" based on the assumption that a human observer is most sensitive to impairments affecting human subjects.

We are making the objective metric available to the research community free of charge.
