In the last years, Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) have been receiving great attention, as they can be effectively employed in several fields. Generally, for a collaborative behaviour to be successful, a precise localization strategy is required. A number of collective positioning schemes are available in literature, which mainly differ depending on the sensors and on the cooperation strategies adopt...

We study the problem of determining an unknown event location relative to previously located events using a single monitoring array in a monitoring well. We show that using the available information about the previously located events for locating new events is advantageous to localizing each event independently. By analyzing confidence regions, we compare the performance of two previously prop...

Let G and E stand for one of the following pairs of groups: • Either G is the general quadratic group U(2n, R,Λ), n ≥ 3, and E its elementary subgroup EU(2n, R,Λ), for an almost commutative form ring (R,Λ), • or G is the Chevalley group G(Φ, R) of type Φ, and E its elementary subgroup E(Φ, R), where Φ is a reduced irreducible root system of rank ≥ 2 and R is commutative. Using Bak’s localizatio...

Increasingly ubiquitous wireless technologies require novel localization techniques to pinpoint the position of an uncooperative node, whether the target be a malicious device engaging in a security exploit or a low-battery handset in the middle of a critical emergency. Such scenarios necessitate that a radio signal source be localized by other network nodes efficiently, using minimal informati...

We propose an end-to-end deep convolutional network to simultaneously localize and rank relative visual attributes, given only weakly-supervised pairwise image comparisons. Unlike previous methods, our network jointly learns the attribute’s features, localization, and ranker. The localization module of our network discovers the most informative image region for the attribute, which is then used...

A low cost strategy based on well calibrated odometry is presented for localizing mobile robots. The paper describes a two-step process for correction of 'systematic errors' in encoder measurements followed by fusion of the calibrated odometry with a gyroscope and GPS resulting in a robust localization scheme. A kalman lter operating on data from the sensors is used for estimating position and ...

In this paper we propose a method to achieve relative positioning and tracking of a target by a quadcopter using Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging sensors, which are strategically installed to help retrieve both relative position and bearing between the quadcopter and target. To achieve robust localization for autonomous flight even with uncertainty in the speed of the target, two main features are ...

glioblastoma is the most common and the most lethal primary brain cancer. this malignancy is highly locally invasive, rarely metastatic and resistant to current therapies. little is known about the distinct molecular biology of glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) in terms of initiation and progression. so far, several molecular mechanisms have been suggested to implicate in gbm development. homeodoma...

The aim of the present paper is to define the localization BL-algebra of a BL-algebra A with respect to a topology F on A. In the last part of the paper is proved that the maximal BL-algebra of quotients (defined in [5]) and the BLalgebra of fractions relative to a ∧-closed system (defined in [4]) are BL-algebras of localization. A remarkable construction in ring theory is the localization ring...

The relationship between differential renal uptake of Tc-99m 2-3 dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and differential renal function was examined in normal and abnormal dogs by correlating Tc-99m DMSA localization with relative renal blood flow and creatining clearance. There was close correlation of fractional Tc-99m DMSA localization with relative renal function.
