Bērmans, Boriss (author)Detecting nearby vehicles involves utilizing data from various sensors installed on a car as it moves. Common sensors for identifying nearby vehicles include LiDAR, cameras, and RADAR. However, all of these sensors suffer from the same issue -- they cannot detect an approaching vehicle that is not yet visible. Hence, this thesis explores the...master thesis 2024

Guendel, R.G. (author), Kruse, N.C. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)In this study, the problem of multipath in radar sensor networks for human activity recognition (HAR) has been examined. Traditionally considered as a source of additional clutter, the multipath is being investigated for its potential to be exploited through the creation of virtual radar nodes. These virtual nodes are conceptualized to...journal article 2024

Dash, T.K. (author), Driessen, J.N. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The problem of the limited accuracy of precipitation Doppler spectrum moments estimation measured by fast azimuthally scanning weather radars is addressed. A novel approach for the Doppler moment estimation based on maximum likelihood estimation is proposed. A simplified semianalytical parametric model for the precipitation power spectral...journal article 2024

Bajaj, V. (author), Van de Plas, Raf (author), Wahls, S. (author)While probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) enables rate and reach adaption with finer granularity [1] (Cho and Winzer, 2009), it imposes signal processing challenges at the receiver. Since the distribution of PCS-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals tends to be Gaussian, conventional blind polarization demultiplexing algorithms...journal article 2024

Ewald, Vincentius (author)One of the classical solutions to maintain the aircraft structural integrity is to rely on the analysis of non-destructive testing (NDT) inspector with various inspection methods. However, it is relatively expensive in matter of time and costs to train human resources until the certification is reached. Further, in majority of the cases of...doctoral thesis 2023

Jin, J. (author)Laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is a vibration-detecting instrument for noncontact and non-destructive measurement. It is superior to classic contact transducers in terms of the wide frequency range and high measurement resolution. LDV on moving platforms (LDVom) is one of the LDV measurement technology to one-way scan the vibrating surface, so...doctoral thesis 2023

Mendoza Silva, Santiago (author)Bacterial identification is crucial for addressing infectious diseases and enabling effective treatment strategies. Conventional bacteria identification methods like MALDI-TOF, while efficient, lack the capability for screening the effectiveness of antibiotics. On the other hand, existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) tests, despite being...master thesis 2023

Lin, Chaufang (author)Whispering, characterized by its soft, breathy, and hushed qualities, serves as a distinct form of speech commonly employed for private communication and can also occur in cases of pathological speech. The acoustic characteristics of whispered speech differ substantially from normally phonated speech and the scarcity of adequate training data...master thesis 2023

Li, Tianyi (author)In this work, we deal with the problem of reconstructing a complete bandlimited graph signal from partially sampled noisy measurements. For a known graph structure, some efficient centralized algorithms are proposed to partition the nodes of the graph into disjoint subsets such that sampling the graph signal from any of these subsets leads to a...master thesis 2023

Liu, Chengen (author)The edge flow reconstruction task improves the integrity and accuracy of edge flow data by recovering corrupted or incomplete signals. This can be solved by a regularized optimization problem, and the corresponding regularizers are chosen based on prior knowledge. However, obtaining prior information is challenging in some fields. Thus, we...master thesis 2023

Houben, Jort (author)A common problem in wireless communication is the existence of multipath propagation. This means that a transmitted signal is received multiple times because of reflections caused by the environment. We present two ways of modeling multipath propagation of an acoustic underwater signal. We discretise these models to solve them numerically....bachelor thesis 2023

Demir, Kaan (author)Existing sonar systems typically rely on a minimum signal strength of a single echo, which limits their performance in low signal-to-noise conditions. This thesis explores the concept of coherent integration for active sonar, with the aim of improving imaging and detection capabilities under low signal-to-noise conditions. The goal is to provide...master thesis 2023

(author)Under in-plane compressive load conditions, the growth of a delamination initially induced by an impact can be followed by a fast growth after a threshold level, which leads to a catastrophic failure in composite structures. To avoid reaching this critical level, it is essential to uncover the delamination size and growth pattern in real time....conference paper 2023
