We consider a Bayesian approach to the problem of inferring parameters of the SONAR environment given only the gathered sidescan image. A simpliied model of the process is developed along with suitable prior distributions on the parameters, and a sampling technique is utilised to estimate the parameters most likely given the data. As an example, we apply this technique to estimation of a step-g...

This paper proposes a new background subtraction method for detecting moving objects from a time-varied background. While background subtraction has traditionally worked well for stationary backgrounds; for a nonstationary viewing sensor, motion compensation can be applied but is difficult to realize to sufficient pixel accuracy in practice. The problem is further compounded when the moving obj...

I. MAX SUM-RATE SCHEDULING: THE UPLINK CASE We have seen (in the presentation) that, for downlink (broadcast) channels, the strategy maximizing the sum-rate is one which only transmits to the user with best channel reception [1]. We now present a similar result for uplink (multi-access) channels [2]. Consider the single-cell multiuser uplink scenario where the signal received by the base statio...

Although cytochrome b-559 has long been known as a membrane-bound redox component closely linked to the reaction center of the oxygen-generating photosystem (PSII), its role in photosynthesis has remained obscure. This paper reports evidence and outlines a hypothesis in support of a "b-559 cycle"-i.e., a light-induced, cytochrome b-559-dependent, cyclic electron transport pathway around PSII th...

The gradually varied surface was introduced and studied in digital and discrete spaces by Chen. The basic idea of introducing gradually varied surfaces is to employ a purely discrete interpolation algorithm to fit a discrete surface when the desired surface is not required to be “smooth.” In this paper, we generalize the concept of gradually varied surfaces. A digital surface is defined as a ma...
