Parameter Estimation with GNSS-Reflectometry and GNSS Synthetic Aperture Techniques

Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

Aside from intentional interference, multipath is the most significant error source for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers in many operational scenarios. In this thesis, we study the multipath estimation from two different perspectives: t ...

Gaze Estimation in the 3D Space Using RGB-D Sensors

Jean-Marc Odobez, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

We address the problem of 3D gaze estimation within a 3D environment from remote sensors, which is highly valuable for applications in human-human and human-robot interactions. To the contrary of most previous works, which are limited to screen gazing appl ...

Online Model Estimation of Ultra-Wideband TDOA Measurements for Mobile Robot Localization

Alcherio Martinoli, Amanda Stella Markowska Prorok

Ultra-wideband (UWB) localization is a recent technology that promises to outperform many indoor localization methods currently available. Yet, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) positioning scenarios can create large biases in the time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) ...

Comment on “Encoding many channels on the same frequency through radio vorticity: first experimental test”

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

We show that the public experiment held in Venice by Tamburini et al and reported in 2012 New J. Phys. 14 033001 can be regarded as a particular implementation of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communications and, therefore, has no advantages over e ...
