I finished my Bachelor in Computer Science with my thesis “Real-time mobile image processing using heterogeneous cloud computing”. I wrote it in German (the German title is “Mobile Echtzeit-Bildverarbeitung durch heterogenes Cloud-Computing”) but I also included an English abstract:

Providing real-time image processing with computationally intensive components to low-level mobile devices is a problem not yet fully solved.
We show that offloading complex computations elsewise done on a smartphone to a cloud system can result in a higher processing speed.
The tradeoff between computational and network footprint is from particular importance since smartphones are often used in mobile networks. It is shown to be unsuitable to use the mobile device solely for image retrieval and offloading all further calculations (which is referred to as thin-client).
To hide the delay caused by the remote execution the development of a so-called latency-hiding component is discussed and its effectiveness verified.

I wrote my thesis in Prof. Stricker’s Augmented Vision group and was supervised by Nils Petersen.
