Judicial Attitudes and Voting Behavior: The 1961 Term of the United States Supreme Court
For small-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to operate indoor, in urban canyons or other scenarios where signals from global navigation satellite systems are denied or impaired, alternative estimation and control strategies must be applied. In this paper a system is proposed that estimates the self-motion and wind velocity by fusing information from airspeed sensors, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a monocular camera. Such estimates can be used in control systems for managing wind disturbances or chemical plume based tracking strategies. Simulation results indicate that while the inertial dead-reckoning process is subject to drift, the system is capable of separating the self-motion and wind velocity from the airspeed information.QC 20110412</p
PUMA criterion = MODE criterion
We show that the recently proposed (enhanced) PUMA estimator for array
processing minimizes the same criterion function as the well-established MODE
estimator. (PUMA = principal-singular-vector utilization for modal analysis,
MODE = method of direction estimation.
Dynamic Iterative Pursuit
For compressive sensing of dynamic sparse signals, we develop an iterative
pursuit algorithm. A dynamic sparse signal process is characterized by varying
sparsity patterns over time/space. For such signals, the developed algorithm is
able to incorporate sequential predictions, thereby providing better
compressive sensing recovery performance, but not at the cost of high
complexity. Through experimental evaluations, we observe that the new algorithm
exhibits a graceful degradation at deteriorating signal conditions while
capable of yielding substantial performance gains as conditions improve.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on
