Introduction: Wedge filters are used in radiotherapy to modify photon beam and improve dose uniformity in the target volume. Determination of wedge dose distribution is important to improve treatment planning accuracy. The utilization of treatment planning software to obtain dose distribution is not always available. In this work an analytical model has been developed to calcu...

S U M M A R Y Concerns over the validity of expressions derived by Montagner et al. that link SKS splitting measurements to the variation with depth of anisotropic parameters in the upper mantle have been recently expressed, pointing out that the long period approximations applied by these authors may not be valid for the frequency range commonly used in SKS studies, and in particular, that the...

Fast depth estimation from binocular vision is often desired for autonomous vehicles, but, most algorithms could not easily be put into practice because of the much time cost. We present an image-processing technique that can fast estimate depth image from binocular vision images. By finding out the lines which present the best matched area in the disparity space image, the depth can be estimat...

As many fast integer-pixel motion estimation algorithms have become available, an integer-pixel motion vector can be found by examining less than 10 search points. Meanwhile, 8 half-pixel positions around the integer-pixel motion vector are to be examined for half-pixel motion estimation. Hence, it becomes more meaningful to reduce the computational complexity of half-pixel motion estimation. I...

In this paper, a sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive was presented based on calculating the back EMF using reference stator voltages, which are output of d-axis current controller, includes information about rotor position. Sensorless control estimates position necessary for vector without sensor or encoder. This can provide effects such as increased system reliability an...

Representation and identification of a nonlinear aeroelastic pitch-plunge system as a model of the Nonlinear AutoRegressive, Moving Average eXogenous (NARMAX) class is considered. A nonlinear difference equation describing this aircraft model is derived theoretically and shown to be of the NARMAX form. Identification methods for NARMAX models are applied to aeroelastic dynamics and its properti...
