Globalisation traps, balkanisation, class polarisation, the dominance of transnational companies and the subordination of transnational migrants are all part of the imaging broadcast over the global media, and they merge with experiences of fear and joy in the countdown to the next millennium. The globalisation of fragmentation consists in driving a class wedge through the ethnic groups themselves
Massive MIMO is a promising technology to connect very large numbers of energy constrained nodes, as it offers both extensive spatial multiplexing and large array gain. A challenge resides in partitioning the many nodes in groups that can communicate simultaneously such that the mutual interference is minimized. We here propose node partitioning strategies that do not require full channel state in
In this paper, robust detection, tracking and geometry estimation methods are developed and combined into a system for estimating time-difference estimates, microphone localization and sound source movement. No assumptions on the 3D locations of the microphones and sound sources are made. The system is capable of tracking continuously moving sound sources in an reverberant environment. The multi-p
To be able to determine the position of a static object in 3D space by means of computer vision, it has to be seen by cameras from at least two different view points. The same applies for measuring the position of a moving object based on images captured at one single time instant. However, if the cameras are not synchronized in time, or if a moving object is not visible in all images, one can not
Motivation: Dynamical models describing intracellular phenomena are increasing in size and complexity as more information is obtained from experiments. These models are often over-parameterized with respect to the quantitative data used for parameter estimation, resulting in uncertainty in the individual parameter estimates as well as in the predictions made from the model. Here we combine Bayesia
We present a method for complex frequency estimation in several variables, extending the classical one-dimensional ESPRIT algorithm, and consider how to work with data sampled on nonstandard domains, i.e., going beyond multirectangles.
Indoor positioning for smart phone users has received a lot of attention in recent years. While many solutions have been developed, most rely on extra sensors, a need for predeployment of infrastructure or collecting ground truth data to train on. In this paper we see what can be done using only existing WiFi-infrastructure and Received Signal Strength from these, not using any extra sensors or ca
In this paper we study symmetries in polynomial equation systems and how they can be integrated into the action matrix method. The main contribution is a generalization of the partial p-fold symmetry and we provide new theoretical insights as to why these methods work. We show several examples of how to use this symmetry to construct more compact polynomial solvers. As a second contribution we pre
Planar motion is an important and frequently occurring situation in mobile robotics applications. This thesis concerns estimation of ego-motion and pose of a single downwards oriented camera under the assumptions of planar motion and known internal camera parameters. The so called essential matrix (or its uncalibrated counterpart, the fundamental matrix) is frequently used in computer vision appli
In this paper, we focus on solving the time delay as a separateproblem to the reconstruction of the microphone and sound locations.The time delay estimation appears as one of the main steps in sensorcalibration problem, once the time delays are known or estimated, wecan solve the time-difference-of-arrival problems by converting them totime-of-arrival problems. In this paper we make use of an alte
In this paper we present a novel, fast and accurate system for detecting the presence of cars in parking lots. The system is based on fast integral channel features and machine learning. The methods are well suited for running embedded on low performance platforms. The methods are tested on a database of nearly 700,000 images of parking spaces, where 48.5% are occupied and the rest are free. The e
