A Comprehensive Evaluation of Indoor ranging using Ultra-Wideband Technology

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Indoor ranging using Ultra-Wideband Technology

Ultra-wideband technology shows promise for precision ranging due to its fine time resolution to resolve multipath fading and the presence of lower frequencies in the baseband to penetrate walls. While a concerted effort has been conducted in the extensive

A Pel-Recursive Motion Estimation Algorithm

A Pel-Recursive Motion Estimation Algorithm

This paper presents a new pel recursive motion estimation algorithm for video coding applications. The derivation of the algorithm is based on Recursive Least-Squares (RLS) estimation that minimizes the mean square prediction error. A comparison with the

A Survey of Self-Organization in Wireless Networks

This paper surveys recent research on self-organizing techniques applied to design and control large wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The survey divides that research into five functional categories: (1) resource sharing, (2) structure formation and

Strain-Induced Grain Growth during Rapid Thermal Cycling of Aluminum Interconnects

Strain-Induced Grain Growth during Rapid Thermal Cycling of Aluminum Interconnects

We demonstrate by use of automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) the rapid growth of grains in non-passivated, sputtered Al-1Si interconnects during 200 Hz thermal cycling induced by alternating electric current. Mean grain diameters were

Complex permittivity measurements of planar building materials using a UWB free-field antenna measurement system

Complex permittivity measurements of planar building materials using a UWB free-field antenna measurement system

Building materials are often incorporated into complex, multi-layer macrostructures that are simply not amenable to measurements using coax or waveguide sample holders. In response to this, an ultra-wideband free-field measurement system has been developed

Nonparametric Statistical Data Analysis of Fingerprint Minutiae Exchange with Two-Finger Fusion

Nonparametric Statistical Data Analysis of Fingerprint Minutiae Exchange with Two-Finger Fusion

A nonparametric inferential statistical data analysis is presented. The utility of this method is demonstrated through analyzing results from minutiae exchange with two-finger fusion. The analysis focused on high-accuracy vendors and two modes of matching

Nonparametric Analysis of Fingerprint Data on Large Data Sets

Nonparametric Analysis of Fingerprint Data on Large Data Sets

By executing different fingerprint-image matching algorithms on large data sets, it reveals that the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. Thus, it requires a nonparametric analysis for fingerprint-image
