Localization integrity consists in providing a real-time measure of the level trust to be placed localization estimates as vehicles operate. It provides means knowing whether position are usable for navigation purposes. This paper formalizes concept and its underlying principles. Vehicles operate different environments, so multiple sensors used ensure required performance. Different sources err...

An optimized design of a neutron detector based on timing RPCs (Resistive Plate Chambers) with boron-10 converters is presented. The composed stack ten double gap aluminium cathode plates coated both sides 10B4C. This enables simultaneous determination high accuracy the time-of-flight (down to ns resolution) and interaction position in 3D 0.25 mm resolution across ∼1 along beam). It shown that ...

This paper describes a user detection system which employs a saliency system delivering a rough and fast estimate of the position of a potential user. This saliency system consists of a vision (skin color) and a sonar based component, which are combined to make the estimate more reliable. To make the skin color detection robust under varying illumination conditions, it is supplied with an autom...

We show that it is, in principle, possible to perform local realism violating experiments of the Hardy type in which only position and momentum measurements are made on two particles emanating from a common source. In the optical domain, homodyne detection of the in-phase and out-of-phase amplitude components of an electromagnetic field is analogous to position and momentum measurement. Hence, ...
