Optimal Stochastic Sensor Error Modeling based on Actual Impact on Quality of GNSS-INS Integrated Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Mehran Khaghani

Proper modeling of stochastic errors in inertial sensors plays a crucial role in the achievable quality of GNSS-INS integration especially with low-cost inertial sensors. Generalized Method of Wavelet Moments (GMWM) can model the underlying process for suc ...

Comparison of L1 and L5 Bands GNSS Signals Acquisition

Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

Nowadays, civil Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are available in both L1 and L5 bands. A receiver does not need to acquire independently the signals in both bands coming from a same satellite, since their carrier Doppler and code delay ar ...

Labeled PSI from Fully Homomorphic Encryption with Malicious Security

Zhicong Huang

Private Set Intersection (PSI) allows two parties, the sender and the receiver, to compute the intersection of their private sets without revealing extra information to each other. We are interested in the unbalanced PSI setting, where (1) the receiver's s ...

VDM-based UAV Attitude Determination in Absence of IMU Data

Jan Skaloud, Mehran Khaghani

The capability of a previously proposed VDM (vehicle dynamic model) based navigation method for UAVs is assessed in attitude determination without IMU data. This method utilizes the VDM as main process model within the navigation filter and treats data fro ...

Adaptive Receiver Design for High Speed Optical Communication

Ilter Ozkaya

Conventional input/output (IO) links consume power, independent of changes in the bandwidth demand by the system they are deployed in. As the system is designed to satisfy the peak bandwidth demand, most of the time the IO links are idle but still consumin ...

Interactions of spatial strategies producing generalization gradient and blocking: A computational approach

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a computational model of spatial navigation comprising different learning mechanisms in mammals, i.e., associative, cognitive mapping and parallel systems. This model is able to reproduce a large number of experimental results in different varia ...
