Extended Object Tracking of Pedestrians in Automotive Applications

Recent advances in sensor technology have lead to increased resolution of novel sensors, while tracking applications where distance between sensors and objects of interest is very small have gained research interest recently. In these cases, it is possible that multiple sensor detections are generated by each object of interest. Extended Object...

Markerless Position Measurement for Ship to Ship Transfer Operations

During rough sea conditions, vessel motions prevent people to be transferred safely from one ship to another. To increase accessibility, the Ampelmann system has developed a Ship to Ship (S2S) transfer system . The Ampelmann system is a ship-based, self stabilizing platform that actively compensates all vessel motions using a Stewart platform....

6-DoF Stage Position Measurement Concept for Microscopy with one 2D Position Sensitive Detector (PSD)

Background Interferometers and capacitance sensors were used to measure the motion of the 6-DoF ferrofluid planar bearing positioning stage designed by Max Cafe who was the master student graduated in 2014. The sensor costs almost 30,000 euro to achieve nanometer scale accuracy. However, in some biology applications, such as observation of...
