We report findings from a web-based experiment on noise annotation lines, a method to represent attribute uncertainty. We tested and compared three design aspects of noise annotation lines and evaluated how different design variations influence user performance. We systematically varied the number of uncertainty categories, noise width, and noise grain. Our results show that the number of uncer...

This paper investigates the fault detection of a micro parallel plate capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end Thau observer, which has good ability in fault detection of nonlinear system has been presented and governing nonlinear dynamic equation of the capacitor has been presented. Upper and lower threshold for fault detection have been obtained. The robustness of th...

Time-of-Flight (TOF) cameras are active real time depth sensors. One issue of TOF sensors is measurement noise. In this paper, we present a method for providing the uncertainty associated to 3D TOF measurements based on noise modelling. Measurement uncertainty is the combination of pixel detection error and sensor noise. First, a detailed noise characterization is presented. Then, a continuous ...

In the text, Sections 6.8.1 to 6.8.5 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Optimizing the Signal-to-Noise Ratio, The Lock-In Amplifier and Gated Integrator or Boxcar, Signal Averaging, Waveform Recovery) all provide additional and complementary information to the discussion here. If you are interested in counting experiments (radiation or low-level photon counting) you may also want to look at Section 6.8.6 ...

This report deals with the problem of reachability under unknown but bounded disturbances and piecewise open-loop controls which may be feedback-corrected at isolated “points of correction”. It is presumed that there are hard bounds on the controls and the unknown but bounded items. The open-loop controls are reassigned at prespecified points of correction on the basis of additional information...
