In this paper we study coded modulation schemes based on iterated chaotic maps. In particular, we consider CSK-like systems in which a chaotic map is switched depending on the payload. We show how small perturbation control can substantially improve the ...
In this paper, a novel particle filter tracker is presented for target tracking using collocated radar and acoustic sensors. Real-time tracking of the target's position and velocity in Cartesian coordinates is performed using batches of range and direction ...
Among advanced electronic designs, vision systems are perhaps those that have undergone the most dramatic technological revolutions of the last decades. Recently, a new family of vision systems has emerged aimed at three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Many appl ...
High spatial (~cm) and spectral (~MHz) resolution Brillouin sensing is realized with enhanced signal to noise ratio using a pre-activated acoustic field and an optical phase control over the interrogating pulse. Pre-activation of the acoustic field preserv ...
Lightweight micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) capable of autonomous flight in natural and urban environments have a large potential for civil and commercial applications, including environmental monitoring, forest fire monitoring, homeland securi ...
Electrons trapped in field emission resonances (FERs) in front of a Ag(100) surface covered with ultrathin NaCl islands are probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The eigenstates in the potential well formed between the tip and the sample are calculate ...
An accurate knowledge of the directional optical properties of advanced fenestration materials is necessary for them to be adequately integrated in buildings. These properties are expressed by the Bidirectional Transmission (or Reflection) Distribution Fun ...
We consider the problem of node positioning in ad hoc networks. We propose a distributed, infrastructure- free positioning algorithm that does not rely on GPS (Global Positioning System). Instead, the algorithm uses the distances between the nodes to build ...
The invention relates to a surgical navigation system, comprising a microscope to which a 3D measuring apparatus is rigidly fixed, for localising objects within the field of operation. Markers are fixed to the objects the position of which is desirable to ...
We demonstrate a novel all-optical spatial Light modulator capable of megahertz modulation rates. It is based on the quantum-confined Stark effect, but the modulating electric field is entirely photogenerated by strongly asymmetric photocarrier transfer in ...
