Synchronisation and Wavelet Compression for Background Interference Classification in Wireless Environments
DownloadFall 2017
Dense wireless deployment environments are increasingly facing Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum congestion and increased levels of interference. Addressing the interference will require a distributed decision-making application on wireless nodes, that characterize the state of the channel with...

Pipeline structures can be subjected to excessive tensile strains due to a variety of environmental agents including but not limited to slope instabilities, seismic forces, freezing and thawing cycle of the permafrost in arctic regions. In addition to environmental and geotechnical effects, large...

The Estimation of Buttresses Volume and Classification of Leaf, Wood, and Lianas from Terrestrial Laser Scanning data
DownloadSpring 2023
Forests account for one third of land area, and two third of global photosynthesis. The better we know about forests, the better decisions we can make on forest management and carbon cycle modeling. During the last decades, we see the development in remote sensing techniques for forest...
