A new analysis method for paired comparison and its application to 3D quality assessment

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jong Seok Lee, Lutz Goldmann

Among various subjective quality evaluation methodologies, paired comparison has the advantage of improved simplicity of the subjects’ evaluation task due to simplified rating scales and direct comparison of two stimuli. Thus, it may lead to more reliable ...

Cooperative Sensing via Sequential Detection

Ali H. Sayed

Efficient and reliable spectrum sensing plays a critical role in cognitive radio networks. This paper presents a cooperative sequential detection scheme to reduce the average sensing time that is required to reach a detection decision. In the scheme, each ...

Modelling human perception of static facial expressions

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Gianluca Antonini, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

A recent internet based survey of over 35'000 samples has shown that when different human observers are asked to assign labels to static human facial expressions, different individuals categorize differently the same image. This fact results in a lack of a ...

Digital Urban Morphometrics: Automatic Extraction and Assessment of Morphological Properties of Buildings

François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro

The aim of this article is to present a method to calculate the morphological properties of the built environment using LiDAR (light-detection and ranging) data, geographic information systems (GIS) data and three-dimensional (3D) models of cities as a sou ...

Distributed bearing estimation via matrix completion

Volkan Cevher

We consider bearing estimation of multiple narrow-band plane waves impinging on an array of sensors. For this problem, bearing estimation algorithms such as minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR), multiple signal classification, and maximum likeli ...

Optimal Linear Fusion for Distributed Detection Via Semidefinite Programming

Ali H. Sayed

Consider the problem of signal detection via multiple distributed noisy sensors. We study a linear decision fusion rule of [Z. Quan, S. Cui, and A. H. Sayed, ¿Optimal Linear Cooperation for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks,¿ IEEE J. Sel. Topics ...

A generic calibration framework for joint estimation of car following models using microscopic data

Microscopic simulation models have become widely applied tools in traffic engineering. Nevertheless, parameter identification of these models remains a difficult task. This is for one caused by the fact that parameters are generally not directly observable ...

Simple Methods for Evaluating and Comparing Binary Experiments

Thomas Alois Weber

We consider a confidence parametrization of binary information sources in terms of appropriate likelihood ratios. This parametrization is used for Bayesian belief updates and for the equivalent comparison of binary experiments. In contrast to the standard ...

Geostatistics of Extremes

Mehdi Gholam

Extreme climate events have been investigated by many researchers in recent decades, and statisticians too have developed statistical tools capable of dealing with them. Although extreme value theory has been extensively developed and used in modelling eve ...

Likelihood-Based Inference for Max-Stable Processes

Simone Padoan

The last decade has seen max-stable processes emerge as a common tool for the statistical modeling of spatial extremes However, their application is complicated due to the unavailability of the multivariate density function and so likehhood-based methods r ...
