a fast and accurate synthetic aperture radar raw data generator of moving targets has high importance, especially in the applications of ground moving target indication. in this paper, in the hybrid time-frequency domain, a fast algorithm for strip mode sar raw data generation of moving targets has been proposed. using this simulator, in different conditions in terms of target motion speed, acc...

the focus of studies in the field of passive walking has often been on straight walking, while less attention has been paid to the field of turning motions. in this paper, the passive motions of a finite width rimless wheel as the simplest 3d model of passive biped walkers was investigated with a focus on turning motions. for this purpose, the hybrid model of the system consisting of continuous...

The subject of this paper is the design, control, and evaluation of a biped–climbing robot featuring a new hybrid hip joint. The hybrid hip provides both prismatic and revolute motion, discretely, to the robot, using a single actuator. This is intended to improve its adaptability in confined environments and its capability to maneuver over and around obstacles. Optimization of the hybrid hip jo...

The widespread application of the hybrid empirical method (HEM) has made it a viable approach for developing ground motion prediction equations in regions where there are few strong motion recordings but there are ample weak motion data from small-magnitude earthquakes. The HEM uses empirical estimates of ground motion in one region (the host region) to provide estimates of ground motion in ano...

A low bit rate video coding technique that uses spatio-temporal geometric transforms is presented. Motion compensation based on the bilinear transform is employed to reduce the temporal redundancy of the video. The spatial redundancy of the motion compensated error images is reduced by a combination of Fractal and DCT. It is shown that in the objects boundaries of the motion compensated error i...
