Evaluating Dynamic Environment Difficulty for Obstacle Avoidance Benchmarking

Dynamic obstacle avoidance remains a crucial research area for autonomous systems, such as Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) and service robots. <br/>Efforts to develop dynamic collision avoidance techniques in unknown environments have proliferated in recent years. While these methods exhibit impressive and reliable performance in simpler...

SARS-CoV-2 lineage abundance quantification in wastewater: a benchmark study for the identification of optimal reference set design

Lineage abundance estimation of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater is a technique that aims to monitor the lineage prevalence in communities and help contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Lineages are collections of closely related mutants of a virus. It is suggested that the genome sequences of lineages differ across the globe due to random mutations or...

Assessing the Suitability of Panako for Music Identification in Movies

Audio fingerprinting is a technique that allows for fast identification of music. Research concerning this technique first emerged around the 2000s and has lead to several applications, like Shazam. More recently, developments in this area have slowed down, even though there are still new challenges emerging. This paper investigates one of these...

A Benchmark Study on Operational Modal Analysis System Identification Algorithms for Operating Offshore Wind Turbines

Recently, Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) have attracted great attention in an effort to make a shift from fossil-based energy sources towards an enhanced sustainable and renewable energy production. In order to achieve the renewables targets and reduce the cost of wind energy, OWTs are consistently increasing in size. Therefore, research has...
