Calibration Transfer Methodology for Cloud Radars Based on Ice Cloud Observations
This article presents a calibration transfer methodology that can be used between radars of the same or dif-ferent frequency bands. This method enables the absolute calibration of a cloud radar by transferring it from another collocated instrument with kno ...
AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC2023Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors
Andreas Peter Burg, Adrian Schumacher, Ruben Merz
Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...
IEEE2022Are We Ready for Autonomous Drone Racing? The UZH-FPV Drone Racing Datase
Davide Scaramuzza, Titus Cieslewski
Despite impressive results in visual-inertial state estimation in recent years, high speed trajectories with six degree of freedom motion remain challenging for existing estimation algorithms. Aggressive trajectories feature large accelerations and rapid r ...
2019Using A Priori Knowledge to Improve Scene Understanding
Semantic segmentation algorithms that can robustly segment objects across multiple camera viewpoints are crucial for assuring navigation and safety in emerging applications such as autonomous driving. Existing algorithms treat each image in isolation, but ...
IEEE2019Omnidirectional bats, point-to-plane distances, and the price of uniqueness
Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Miranda Krekovic
We study simultaneous localization and mapping with a device that uses reflections to measure its distance from walls. Such a device can be realized acoustically with a synchronized collocated source and receiver; it behaves like a bat with no capacity for ...
Ieee2017Automatic Calibration of Ultra Wide Band Tracking Systems Using A Mobile Robot: A Person Localization Case-study
Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour, Alessio Canepa
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is an emerging technology in the field of indoor localization, mainly due to its high performances in indoor scenarios and relatively easy deployment. However, in complex indoor environments, its positioning accuracy may drastically d ...
Ieee2017Highly-sensitive distributed birefringence measurements based on a two-pulse interrogation of a dynamic Brillouin grating
Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov
A method for distributed birefringence measurements is proposed based on the interference pattern generated by the interrogation of a dynamic Brillouin grating (DBG) using two short consecutive optical pulses. Compared to existing DBG interrogation techniq ...
Ieee2017Development of TORCH readout electronics for customised MCPs
The TORCH detector is being developed for low-momentum particle identification, combining time-of-flight and Cherenkov techniques to achieve charged particle pi/K/p separation up to 10 GeV/c over a flight distance of 10m. This requires a timing resolution ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2016The TORCH time-of-flight detector
The TORCH time-of-flight detector is being developed to provide particle identification between 2 and 10 GeV/c momentum over a flight distance of 10 m. TORCH is designed for large-area coverage, up to 30 m(2), and has a DIRC-like construction. The goal is ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016Ultrafast Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Liquid Samples
José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara
This thesis focuses on the commissioning and characterization of HARMONIUM, an ultrafast tunable EUV source based on high-harmonic generation for performing photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids. In ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy a short pump pulse i ...
