In this paper we show how to calibrate a camera, mounted on a robot, with respect to the intrinsic camera parameters when the so-called hand-eye transformation between the robot hand and the camera is unknown. The calibration is based directly on the spatial and temporal derivatives in an image sequence and do not need any matching and tracking of features or a reference object. The calibration is

In connection with the international housing exhibition Bo01 in Malmo, Sweden in 2001, several residential units were built. To get building permission, all developers had to present calculations proving that their buildings would use in total less than 105 kWh/(m(2.)year) bought energy. Measurements show that none of the buildings fulfilled the demand concerning energy use. According to the calcu

Shadowing from other vehicles can degrade the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems significantly. It is thus important to characterize and model the influence of common shadowing objects like trucks in a proper way. However, the scenario of a truck as an obstacle in highly dynamic rural and highway environments is not yet well understood. In this paper we analyze the distance de

The challenges for creating a greener economy and the institutional framework for sustainable development pass necessarily, or mostly, through cities, as they concentrate a large and growing part of the world’s economy and population, as well as decision-making power. With the processes of urbanization and rural-urban transformation, the economy in cities, especially in cities of developing countr

Spatially-Coupled LDPC (SC-LDPC) codes have been recently shown to be very efficient for transmissions over nonergodic channels, in particular over block-fading channels [1]. In fact, it is possible to design a SC-LDPC code with any given code diversity [2]. In this work, we investigate the performance of SC-LDPC codes over block-fading channels, assuming a mismatch (or offset) between the first b

Since software development is of a dynamic nature, the impact analysis is an inevitable work task. Traceability is known as one factor that supports this task, and several researchers have proposed traceability recovery tools to propose trace links in an existing system. However, these semi-automatic tools have not yet proven useful in industrial applications. Based on an established automation mo

Automatic detection of point groups as well as symmetrisation of molecular geometry and wavefunctions are useful tools in computational quantum chemistry. Algorithms for developing these tools as well as an implementation are presented. The symmetry detection algorithm is a clustering algorithm for symmetry invariant properties, combined with logical deduction of possible symmetry elements using t

We present a rigorous phase noise analysis of a generic harmonic oscillator where the active core can be modeled as a transconductor. Phase noise equations are derived without any specific assumption on the nature of the resonator in the oscillator; furthermore, we provide closed-form 1/f2 phase noise equations when the resonator consists of an arbitrary number of cascaded LC tanks, each tuned at

Two different solutions for the characteristic modes (CMs) of lossy structures were previously developed using induced volume currents. The first solution diagonalizes the scattering and perturbation matrices, guaranteeing far-field orthogonality at the cost of imaginary eigenvalues and eigencurrents. The second solution does not perfectly diagonalize these matrices, but maintains real-valued eige
