Optical flow estimation from multichannel spherical image decomposition
2011
The problem of optical flow estimation is largely discussed in computer vision domain for perspective images. It was also proven that, in terms of optical flow analysis from these images, we have difficulty distinguishing between some motion fields obtained with little camera motion. The omnidirectional cameras provided images with large filed of view. These images contain global information about motion and allow to remove the ambiguity present in perspective case. Nevertheless, these images contain significant radial distortions that is necessary to take into account when treating these images to estimate the motion. In this paper, we shall describe new way to compute efficient optical fl…
Enhanced detection of contrast regions in echocardiograms by adaptive quantization
2002
The statistics of ultrasound echo images are governed by Rayleigh statistics. The authors derive some experimentally verifiable predictions of this theory, compare them with experimental results obtained from echocardiographic images, and derive a new color coding scheme, (adaptive quantization) that is adapted to the signal-dependent noise predicted by theory. This results in some technical advantages and in an improved discrimination of regions of the echo image that are enhanced by echo contrast material. >
Sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motors for wide speed range applications
2006
This paper deals with sensorless control of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (IPMS) based on the estimation of speed and rotor angular position. The above estimate is based on the injection of high frequency stator currents able to generate a signal similar to that generated by a resolver connected to the axis of the motor. A new digital algorithm has been designed to demodulate the above signal whose implementation can be carried out on the same DSP that processes the control algorithm. In this paper a new scheme of speed and angular position estimator is proposed and justified on the theoretic point of view. The experimental results here shown validate the effectiveness of the…

Channel Modeling and System Concepts for Future Terahertz Communications: Getting Ready for Advances Beyond 5G
2020
Future terahertz (THz) communications will utilize the frequency spectrum around 300 GHz. This technology provides a promising solution for future high-data-rate communications due to the high available bandwidth. However, the unfavorable channel characteristics are a major barrier for the realization of THz communications. To address the challenges caused by the unfavorable propagation conditions, the world?s first THz communication standard includes a channel-modeling document (CMD).
A statistical model for magnitudes and angles of wavelet frame coefficients and its application to texture retrieval
2014
Abstract This paper presents a texture descriptor based on wavelet frame transforms. At each position in the image, and for each resolution level, we consider both vertical and horizontal wavelet detail coefficients as the components of a bivariate random vector. The magnitudes and angles of these vectors are computed. At each level the empirical histogram of magnitudes is modeled by a Generalized Gamma distribution, and the empirical histogram of angles is modeled by a different version of the von Mises distribution that accounts for histograms with 2 modes. Each texture is characterized by few parameters. A new distance is presented (based on the Kullback–Leibler divergence) that allows g…
Predictive Model of Energy Consumption of a Home
2020
The usage of the renewable energy sources and electric vehicles is rising which might result in a problem with the energy grid stabilization. Some works state that buildings contribute to the overall energy consumption by 20–40% which makes them a great subject to study. Finding solutions for better energy management can have a significant impact on the energy sector. This work focuses on proposing a simplified model of a home considering main appliances, heating and cooling, a photovoltaic system, an electric vehicle and weather and solar irradiance forecasts. The model is created in MATLAB as a simulation script with defined parameters. It uses a 5 day weather forecast to predict energy d…
Bottle microresonator with actively stabilized evanescent coupling
2011
The evanescent coupling of light between a whispering-gallery-mode bottle microresonator and a sub-wavelength-diameter coupling fiber is actively stabilized by means of a Pound-Drever-Hall technique. We demonstrate the stabilization of a critically coupled resonator with a control bandwidth of 0.1 Hz, yielding a residual transmission of (9 \pm 3) \times 10^-3 for more than an hour. Simultaneously, the frequency of the resonator mode is actively stabilized.
Studying the role of protein dynamics in an SN2 enzyme reaction using free-energy surfaces and solvent coordinates
2013
Conformational changes are known to be able to drive an enzyme through its catalytic cycle, allowing, for example, substrate binding or product release. However, the influence of protein motions on the chemical step is a controversial issue. One proposal is that the simple equilibrium fluctuations incorporated into transition-state theory are insufficient to account for the catalytic effect of enzymes and that protein motions should be treated dynamically. Here, we propose the use of free-energy surfaces, obtained as a function of both a chemical coordinate and an environmental coordinate, as an efficient way to elucidate the role of protein structure and motions during the reaction. We sho…
Measurements of ν̅ μ and ν̅ μ + ν μ charged-current cross-sections without detected pions or protons on water and hydrocarbon at a mean anti-neutrino…
2021
Abstract We report measurements of the flux-integrated ν̅μ and ν̅μ + νμ charged-current cross-sections on water and hydrocarbon targets using the T2K anti-neutrino beam with a mean beam energy of 0.86 GeV. The signal is defined as the (anti-)neutrino charged-current interaction with one induced $\mu^\pm$ and no detected charged pion or proton. These measurements are performed using a new WAGASCI module recently added to the T2K setup in combination with the INGRID Proton Module. The phase space of muons is restricted to the high-detection efficiency region, $p_{\mu}>400~{\rm MeV}/c$ and $\theta_{\mu}<30^{\circ}$, in the laboratory frame. An absence of pions and protons in the …
