The process of simultaneously building the map and locating a vehicle is known as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and can be used for autonomous navigation. The estimation of vehicle states and landmarks plays an important role in SLAM. Most of the SLAM algorithms are based on extended Kalman filters (EKFs). However, Kalman filters are not the best choice for SLAM as they suffer fr...

The demo of SPOT introduces the location analytics platform that allows us to gain insights into location data and visualize it on a map. The demo is targeted at academics and industry people who are interested in insights that we can obtain from analysing location data in a business context. Location data becomes increasingly accessible in many settings due to the uptake of the internet of thi...

Consider the following game of a cop locating a robber on a connected graph. At each turn, the cop chooses a vertex of the graph to probe and receives the distance from the probe to the robber. If she can uniquely locate the robber after this probe, then she wins. Otherwise the robber may either stay put or move to any vertex adjacent to his location other than the probe vertex. The cop’s goal ...

One important research area in Non-Photorealistic Rendering is to obtain silhouettes. There are many methods to obtain silhouettes from 3d models and raster structures, but they are limited in their ability to draw stylized silhouettes with complete flexibility. These limitations do not exist in illustration, as each element is plane and the interaction between them can be eliminated locating e...

Deep learning has started to revolutionize several different industries, and the applications of these methods in medicine are now becoming more commonplace. This study focuses on investigating the feasibility of tracking patients and clinical staff wearing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags in a radiation oncology clinic using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and convolutional neural networks (C...

Over the last decade the Indian state has strived to establish an adequate foundation for advancing nanotechnology resulting in the expansion of R&D and commercialization of nanoproducts. A greater focus on technology development has meant that India's engagement with the overdue but not less significant risk debate appears to be far behind global discourses. The main focus of the paper is to e...

This paper presents a unified locating service, KULOCS, which horizontally integrates the existing heterogeneous locating services. Focusing on technology-independent elements [when], [where] and [who] in querying locations of objects, KULOCS integrates data and operations of the existing services. In the data integration, we propose a method where the time representation, the locations, the na...

Inspection of the railway tracks requires relying on a precise positioning system that accurately determines location potential failures and deficiencies. Therefore, measuring speed rail vehicles is essential. Many methods approaches have been proposed, but most them lack several conditions do not allow to be optimal for this task. In paper, authors present novel method train by means time corr...

due to the increasing development in various branches of the automotive industry, the need for a comfort climate in the cabin is more sensible. however, to achieve climate comfort, hvac system consumes a considerable amount of engine power. hence, improving hvac system performance leads to more energy saving of the vehicle which is a critical factor for nowadays automotive. besides, one crucial...
