چکیده

We introduce a new mathematical method for tracking position and orientation. The method, which is applicable to a wide variety of virtual-environment tracking systems, offers several advantages: (1) significantly improved estimate rates and latencies; (2) improved accuracy; (3) a flexible framework for heterogeneous multi-sensor data fusion; and (4) a unique opportunity to perform simultaneous source and sensor autocalibration . We use an extended Kalman filter in an unusual fashion, maintaining a leastsquares estimate of a target’s position and orientation using a sequence of single sensor measurements as opposed to groups of measurements. Even though single sensor measurements offer incomplete information, they provide some information and are used to incrementally improve the previous estimate. By incorporating an ongoing sequence of individual sensor measurements in this way we can track position and orientation, one step at a time.

An Improved MPPT Method of Wind Turbine Based on HCS Method by Using Fuzzy Logic System

In this paper presents a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique based on the Hill Climbing Search (HCS) method and fuzzy logic system for Wind Turbines (WTs) including of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) as generator. In the conventional HCS method the step size is constant, therefor both steady-state response and dynamic response of method cannot provide at the same time an...

An Efficient Implementation of Phase Field Method with Explicit Time Integration

The phase field method integrates the Griffith theory and damage mechanics approach to predict crack initiation, propagation, and branching within one framework. No crack tracking topology is needed, and complex crack shapes can be captures without user intervention. In this paper, a detailed description of how the phase field method is implemented with explicit dynamics into LS-DYNA is provide...

A quantitative investigation on lung tumor site on its motion tracking in radiotherapy with external surrogates

Introduction: In external beam radiotherapy each effort is done to deliver 3D dose distribution onto the tumor volume uniformly, while minimizing the dose to healthy organs at the same time. Radiation treatment of tumors located at thorax region such as lung and liver has a challenging issue during target localization since these tumors move mainly due to respiration. There are...

A study on the accuracy of motion tracking of thoracic tumors at radiotherapy with external surrogates

Introduction: In radiotherapy with external surrogates, exact information of tumor position is one of the key factors that improves treatment delivery. Many dynamic tumors in thorax region of patient move mainly due to respiration and are known as intra-fractional motion error that must be compensated, as well. One of clinical strategy is using Stereotactic Body Radiation Thera...

Design and Analysis of Step Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Censored Data}

Life testing often is consuming a very long time for testing. Therefore, the engineers and statisticians are looking for some approaches to reduce the running time. There is a recommended method for reducing the time of failure, such that the stress level of the test units will increase, and then they will fail earlier than normal operating conditions. These approaches are called accelerated li...
