Aircraft infrared radiation characteristic is the important basis of penetration performance evaluation. When we use ground-based infrared radiation measurement system test aircraft in the out-field, goals are often in the clouds, the clouds of infrared radiation absorption and scattering makes the transmittance and background luminance change, which aifect measurement accuracy. Radiative transfer...
The current reckoning method is based on the system operation network and modeling to achieve current reckoning network model, using the link reckoning technique and branch current measurement to identification and calculation. Analysis current difference identification features, to identify bad data, then correct the bad data, on the basis of the revised branch current to determine the state changes...
We herein investigate the design of a tapered slot antenna (TSA) that is divided into a radiator and a feeding circuit (balun). We measured the differential component and common component of the surface current on the TSA in a previous study. Moreover, we measured the radiation patterns of the radiator and the balun in order to discuss the radiation of the TSA. In particular, the differential component...
This paper proposes a new effective algorithmic basis for solving the problem of choosing the permissible deviations of the parameters of the elements, choosing the measured currents and diagnostics of the electrical device elements. The algorithms developed by the authors are based on the new modification of the Gaussian elimination method to solve the systems of linear algebraic equations. One of...
This paper is motivated by the problem of two adversarial networked teams that collect information about each other and make decisions based on this information. This problem has applications in network security, economic decision making, and robotic soccer. From the perspective of one team, the quality of decision making can be improved with better methods of aggregating measurements of the other...
The current practices of Web analytics and independent audience measurement are under legal and societal scrutiny, and the implemented and currently suggested approaches are either impractical, or most likely illegal under the upcoming General Data Protection Regulations of the European Union. While local solutions may achieve compliance for analytics, audience measurement inherently requires an independent...
Self-localization is one of the most critical parts in robotics and automated driving. Thus, it is quite essential to have some kind of self-assessment for the respective pose estimate. Therefore, this paper introduces a new online approach to check the consistency of feature-based random-set Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL). The basic idea is to detect inconsistencies of the assumed measurement process...
Given a list of positioning measurements in location server, how to accurately estimate the user position is an open problem. We propose to apply particle swarm optimization (PSO) to estimate user position which can well explore the measurements including TDOA, TOA, DOA, and so on. Simulation results show that the PSO algorithms can significantly improve the positioning accuracy compared to current...
The paper is motivated by recent and rapid growth of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the critical necessity for preserving restricted communication resources in their application domains. In this context, a distributed state estimation architecture is considered where a remote sensor communicates its measurements to the fusion centre (FC) in an event-based fashion. We propose a systematic and intuitively...
The Earth is arguably the most complex object in the solar system, both in terms of the diversity of materials and compounds as well as the diversity of processes occurring in the Earth system. Comprehensive global measurements are required to investigate, understand and model this complex system that includes processes within and between the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and atmosphere...
Ocean-surface turbulent fluxes (stress and latent heat) are generated by atmospheric instability caused both by wind shear (difference between wind and current) and buoyancy (vertical density stratification). Stress depends on the vector difference between wind and current. Using the unique capability of the scatterometer in measuring stress, we demonstrated that the effect of ocean surface stress...
Particle filters are a widely used tool to perform Bayesian filtering under nonlinear dynamic and measurement models or non-Gaussian distributions. However, the performance of particle filters plummets when dealing with high-dimensional state spaces. In this paper, we propose a method that makes use of multiple particle filtering to circumvent this difficulty. Multiple particle filters partition the...
Persuasion profiling has been shown to be a promising method to personalize persuasive messages that can influence users. In the context of learning, persuade students towards following pedagogical tasks is an important role of teachers and intelligent educational environments. To accomplish persuasion, it is necessary to measure students' susceptibility to influence principles. Susceptibility to...
Our newly proposed approach to extended object tracking (EOT) using extension deformation is simple and effective. This approach assumes that the extension of an object is deformed from an ellipsoidal reference extension, which unfortunately restricts its use for complex extensions. To overcome this weakness, this paper proposes that the current object extension be modeled as deformed from the one...
There is a growing demand for non-invasive point of care devices to monitor metabolites in blood such as lactate. In hospital environments, having such tools would reduce the risk of infection, increase the frequency of measurement and ensure timely intervention only when necessary. In sports situations, such tools will enhance training of athletes, and enable more effecting training regimes to be...
The continuing growth of energy from renewable resources demands for structural changes of energy transmission systems. These changes are on the one hand related to the increasing decentralized power generation and on the other to different power flow scenarios due to fluctuation in power generation. For example, offshore wind parks require a high transmission capacity over long distances. In order...
Current consumption is a crucial factor for the lifetime of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile computing devices because most of them survive on a battery or on a power harvested from their environment. In this paper, we explore the current consumption of an “Intel Edison” module which is launched for targeting IoT applications while considering its three different operation modes such as sleep,...
Sentence similarity calculation plays an important role in text processing-related research. Many unsupervised techniques such as knowledge-based techniques, corpus-based techniques, string similarity based techniques, and graph alignment techniques are available to measure sentence similarity. However, none of these techniques have been experimented with Tamil. In this paper, we present the first-ever...
Recent advancements in the performance and affordability of cameras and inertial measurement units (IMUs) have caused demand for efficient, accurate visual-inertial navigation solutions. In this paper, we present a system for the fusion of preintegrated inertial measurements with highly informative direct alignment of images. In particular, our preintegration theory is based on closed-form solutions...
