Rotational Odometry using Ultra Low Resolution Thermal Cameras
Ali Safa
This letter provides what is, to the best of our knowledge, a first study on the applicability of ultra-low-resolution thermal cameras for providing rotational odometry measurement…
Automating the Design of Multi-band Microstrip Antennas via Uniform Cross-Entropy Optimization
Ali Al-Zawqari, Ali Safa, Gert Vandersteen
Automating the design of microstrip antennas has been an active area of research for the past decade. By leveraging machine learning techniques such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs) or,…
Continual Learning with Hebbian Plasticity in Sparse and Predictive Coding Networks: A Survey and Perspective
Ali Safa
Recently, the use of bio-inspired learning techniques such as Hebbian learning and its closely-related Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) variant have drawn significant atten…
Towards Chip-in-the-loop Spiking Neural Network Training via Metropolis-Hastings Sampling
Ali Safa, Vikrant Jaltare, Samira Sebt +4
This paper studies the use of Metropolis-Hastings sampling for training Spiking Neural Network (SNN) hardware subject to strong unknown non-idealities, and compares the proposed ap…
Resource-Efficient Gesture Recognition using Low-Resolution Thermal Camera via Spiking Neural Networks and Sparse Segmentation
Ali Safa, Wout Mommen, Lars Keuninckx
This work proposes a novel approach for hand gesture recognition using an inexpensive, low-resolution (24 x 32) thermal sensor processed by a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) followed…
