We propose a novel multi-pose loss function to train a neural network for 6D pose estimation, using synthetic data and evaluating it on real images. Our loss is inspired by the VSD (Visible Surface Discrepancy) metric and relies on a differentiable renderer and CAD models. This novel multi-pose approach produces multiple weighted pose estimates to avoid getting stuck in local minima. Our method re

Beyond 5G communication systems must be able to meet the requirements imposed by the ever-increasing demand in capacity, while guaranteeing robustness, reliability, low latency, security, as well as spectral and power efficiencies. Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) as an evolution of massive MIMO have drawn considerable attention among researchers, being already considered as one of the key technol

Much of the technology that makes robots reliable, human friendly, and industrialroboticsadaptable for numerous applications has emerged from manufacturers of industrial robots. With an estimated installation base in 2014 of about 1.5 million units, some 171000 new installations in that year and an annual turnover of the robotics industry estimated to be US$ 32 billion, industrial robots are by fa

5G cellular networks can utilize millimeter wave signals, and support large bandwidths and large antenna arrays, which provide more geometric-based signals and higher delay and angle resolutions. These merits bring new opportunities in positioning the user with limited infrastructure through the use of combined angle and delay information. However, there are many practical challenges to overcome,

Black carbon (BC), spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCP), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are carbonaceous pollutants affecting the climate, environment, and human health. International regulations limit their emissions, and the present emissions are followed by monitoring programs. However, the monitoring programs have limited spatio-temporal coverage and only span the last decades.

Modern coding theory is based on the foundation of the sparse codes on graphs, such as the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, and the turbo-like codes (TCs) with component convolutional codes. The success of the LDPC codes and the TCs lies in their ability to perform low-complexity iterative message passing decoding procedures. The iterative message passing decoders that exchange messages prob

The Radon transform and its adjoint, the back-projection operator, can both be expressed as convolutions in log-polar coordinates. Hence, fast algorithms for the application of these operators can be constructed by using FFT, if data is resampled at log-polar coordinates. Radon data is typically measured on an equally spaced grid in polar coordinates, and reconstructions are represented (as images

This work concerns efficient and reliable numerical simulations of the dynamic behaviour of a moving-boundary model for tubulin-driven axonal growth. The model is nonlinear and consists of a coupled set of a partial differential equation (PDE) and two ordinary differential equations. The PDE is defined on a computational domain with a moving boundary, which is part of the solution. Numerical simul

Recently, it has been shown that a parasitic element can be used to fully decouple closely spaced antennas. However, the decoupled antennas suffer from narrow bandwidth, as compared to the bandwidth of isolated single antennas, which is also the case for other decoupling methods, such as multiport conjugate match and neutralization line. In this paper, we investigate the potential in bandwidth enh

In this paper, we study the influence of current localization on the isolation between two antennas in a compact terminal setting. The two antennas are chosen to be a monopole and a PIFA, respectively. The degree of current localization is controlled by the permittivity value of the PIFA’s dielectric loading. Both lossless and lossy cases are simulated in order to ascertain the underlying performa

It is known that the compactness of mobile terminals complicates the design of multiple antennas, since coupling between the antennas increases when they are placed in proximity of one another. While it is possible to mitigate coupling between closely spaced antennas, a tradeoff in bandwidth is required. In this paper, we highlight ground plane excitation as an additional dimension to consider in

A simple and intuitive metric of multiplexing efficiency is proposed for evaluating the performance of MIMO antennas in the spatial multiplexing mode of operation. The metric is particularly useful for antenna engineers whose goal is to achieve the optimum antenna system design. Experimental results involving prototype mobile terminals highlight the effectiveness of our proposal.

Multiplexing efficiency is proposed as a simple and intuitive metric for characterizing multiple antenna systems in the spatial multiplexing mode of operation. Instead of comparing channel capacities of MIMO systems with different antennas, the metric offers valuable insights into the impact of antenna efficiency, efficiency imbalance and correlation on multiplexing performance. It is particularly

Antenna systems are provided including a chassi (115) and first and second radiating (110, 120) elements coupled to the chassi. The first radiating element is configured to amplify excitation of the chassi and the second radiating element is configured to reduce excitation of the chassi so as to reduce mutual coupling in the antenna system. Related co- located antennas and methods of controlling m

Interference between femto-cell systems is a critical factor for the deployment of such systems in, e.g., resedential areas. In this paper we report on a residential channel measurement campaign focusing on the channel properties for femtocell systems. We characterize basic channel properties such as delay spread and interference levels between different furnished residential houses. In addition w
