Blowing in the Wind

Every day tons of pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere all around the world. These pollutants are altering the equilibrium of our planet, causing profound changes in its climate, increasing global temperatures, and raising the sea level. The need to ...

Research online: Robust tightly coupled GNSS/INS estimation for navigation

Jan Skaloud, Omar Garcia Crespillo, Michael Meurer

We designed a tightly-coupled integration between GNSS and inertial navigation systems (INS) where we modify the update step of a classical Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to consider different robust estimators (such as M-estimators). We consider different f ...

Long-Term Stable Control of Motor-Imagery BCI by a Locked-in User Through Adaptive Assistance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Sareh Saeedi

Performance variation is one of the main challenges that BCIs are confronted with, when being used over extended periods of time. Shared control techniques could partially cope with such a problem. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy of shared control app ...

Robust Tightly Coupled GNSS/INS Estimation for Navigation in Challenging Scenarios

Jan Skaloud, Omar Garcia Crespillo, Michael Meurer

The combination of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) has become the baseline of many transportation applications. In this work, we design a tightly-coupled integration between GNSS and INS where we modify the u ...

Bridging asymptotic independence and dependence in spatial extremes using Gaussian scale mixtures

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

Gaussian scale mixtures are constructed as Gaussian processes with a random variance. They have non-Gaussian marginals and can exhibit asymptotic dependence unlike Gaussian processes, which are asymptotically independent except in the case of perfect depen ...

Cosmological constraints from the convergence 1-point probability distribution

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We examine the cosmological information available from the 1-point probability density function (PDF) of the weak-lensing convergence field, utilizing fast L-PICOLA simulations and a Fisher analysis. We find competitive constraints in the Omega(m)-sigma(8) ...

Dynamical Efficiency in congested road networks

Leonardo Bellocchi

The main topological properties of a transportation network can be characterized using different criteria such as structure, the degree distribution of nodes, connectivity and some clustering aspects. Efficiency is a property of a network that identifies t ...

Functional data analysis by matrix completion

Marie-Hélène Descary

Traditional approaches to analysing functional data typically follow a two-step procedure, consisting in first smoothing and then carrying out a functional principal component analysis. The idea underlying this procedure is that functional data are well ap ...

A Multilevel Monte Carlo Evolutionary Algorithm for Robust Aerodynamic Shape Design

Fabio Nobile, Pénélope Leyland, Michele Pisaroni

The majority of problems in aircraft production and operation require decisions made in the presence of uncertainty. For this reason aerodynamic designs obtained with traditional deterministic optimization techniques seeking only optimality in a specific s ...

Online Inference in Bayesian Non-Parametric Mixture Models under Small Variance Asymptotics

Sylvain Calinon, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

Adapting statistical learning models online with large scale streaming data is a challenging problem. Bayesian non-parametric mixture models provide flexibility in model selection, however, their widespread use is limited by the computational overhead of e ...
