Compressive sensing for direct time of flight estimation in ultrasound-based NDT
2017
This paper presents an approach for estimation of ultrasonic time-of-flight (TOF) within a Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) context. The presented method leverages recent advances in the field of Compressive Sensing (CS), which makes use of sparsity in a transform domain of a signal in order to reduce the number of samples required to store it. CS achieves this through a two key ideas: random matrix projections, and l1-penalised linear regression. In this case, sparsity arises from the observation that in a pulse-echo ultrasound test, the number of echoes is relatively small compared to the number of measurement points in a waveform. This sparsity is evid…
A novel MIMO car-to-car channel model based on the geometrical curved street scattering model
2012
This paper introduces a novel multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) car-to-car (C2C) channel model, which is based on a geometrical curved street scattering model. Starting from the geometrical model, a MIMO reference channel model is derived under the assumption of a combination of single- and double-bounce scattering in line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) propagation environments. The proposed channel model assumes an infinite number of scatterers, which are uniformly distributed on the outer and inner curves of the street. Expressions are presented for the three-dimensional (3D) space-time cross-correlation function (CCF), the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF), and the two-dimen…

Double-bounce scattering is assumed for fixed scatterers, while single-bounce scattering is considered fo…
Geometry-Based Modeling of Wideband Industrial Indoor Radio Propagation Channels
2015
In this paper, we present a geometrical scattering model for a typical class of industrial indoor environments. The proposed industrial reference model takes into account scattering components arising from metallic structures and the surrounding walls of the investigated environment. Starting from the geometrical scattering model, we derive the analytical expressions of the probability density function (PDF) of the angle of arrival (AoA), PDF of the time of arrival (ToA), and the autocorrelation function (ACF) in the frequency domain. The obtained results reveal a large difference between industrial channels and other home and office environments. The theoretical results of the reference mo…
Frequency mapping in dynamic light emission with wavelet transform
2013
International audience; Dynamic photon emission microscopy is an e cient tool to analyse today's integrated circuit. Nevertheless, the reduction of transistor's dimensions leads to more complex acquisitions where many spots can be seen. A frequency characterization of the whole acquired area can help to have a better understanding of it. With that purpose in mind, a new methodology to draw frequency mapping of dynamic light emission acquisition is reported. It is fully automated and based on wavelet transform and autocorrelation function. Regarding the possible use in an industrial context, the suggested method can help to localize abnormal emission activity and it gives some perspectives o…
A Non-Stationary MIMO Vehicle-to-Vehicle Channel Model Derived from the Geometrical Street Model
2011
In this paper, we derive a non-stationary multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel model from the geometrical street model. Single-bounce scattering is assumed for both fixed and moving scatterers. The high mobility of the transmitter, the receiver, and the surrounding vehicles results in time-variant angles-of-departure (AODs) and angles-of-arrival (AOAs). This fact makes the model non-stationary. Starting from the geometrical model, an analytical expression is derived for the channel gain taking into account the impact of fixed and moving scatterers. The statistical properties of the proposed channel model are studied. Analytical solutions are provided for th…
Intra-urban spatial distributions of population and employment : the case of the agglomeration of Dijon, 1999
2003
The aim of this paper is to analyze the intra-urban spatial distributions of population and employment in the agglomeration of Dijon (regional capital of Burgundy, France). We study whether this agglomeration has followed the general tendency of job decentralization observed in most urban areas or whether it is still characterized by a monocentric pattern. In that purpose, we use a sample of 136 observations at the communal and at the IRIS (infra-urban statistical area) levels with 1999 census data and the employment database SIRENE (INSEE). First; we study the spatial pattern of total employment and employment density using exploratory spatial data analysis. Apart from the CBD, few IRIS ar…
Why Is Equity Order Flow so Persistent?
2014
Order flow in equity markets is remarkably persistent in the sense that order signs (to buy or sell) are positively autocorrelated out to time lags of tens of thousands of orders, corresponding to many days. Two possible explanations are herding, corresponding to positive correlation in the behavior of different investors, or order splitting, corresponding to positive autocorrelation in the behavior of single investors. We investigate this using order flow data from the London Stock Exchange for which we have membership identifiers. By formulating models for herding and order splitting, as well as models for brokerage choice, we are able to overcome the distortion introduced by brokerage. O…

Variations in Substitution Rate in Human and Mouse Genomes
2003
We present a method to quantify spatial fluctuations of the substitution rate on different length scales throughout genomes of eukaryotes. The fluctuations on large length scales are found to be predominantly a consequence of a coarse-graining effect of fluctuations on shorter length scales. This is verified for both the mouse and the human genome. We also found that both species show similar standard deviation of fluctuations even though their mean substitution rate differs by a factor of two. Our method furthermore allows to determine time-resolved substitution rate maps from which we can compute auto-correlation functions in order to quantify how fast the spatial fluctuations in substitu…
