Long range person and vehicle detection

Automatic detection and tracking of persons and vehicles can greatly increase situational awareness in many military applications. Various methods for detection and tracking have been proposed so far, both for rule-based and learning approaches. With the advent of deep learning, learning approaches generally outperform rule-based approaches. Pre...

Impact of time-variant turbulence behavior on prediction for adaptive optics systems

For high-contrast imaging systems, the time delay is one of the major limiting factors for the performance of the extreme adaptive optics (AO) sub-system and, in turn, the final contrast. The time delay is due to the finite time needed to measure the incoming disturbance and then apply the correction. By predicting the behavior of the...

Enabling Superior and Controllable Video Streaming QoE with 5G Network Orchestration

5G promises to offer a single network platform that can be optimized for several vertical industries and applications. It is envisioned that this optimization will be achieved through advanced network orchestration functionalities. Video streaming accounts for the vast majority of mobile traffic, hence optimizing performance and Quality of...

Validation of control-oriented heavy duty diesel engine models for non-standard ambient conditions

Complying to both the increasingly stringent pollutant emissions as well as (future) GHG emission legislation - with increased focus on in-use real-world emissions - puts a great challenge to the engine/aftertreatment control development process. Control system complexity, calibration and validation effort has increased dramatically over the...

Battery energy storage system

The ability to store electrical energy adds several interesting features to a ships distribution network, as silent power, peak shaving and a ride through in case of generator failure. Modern intrinsically safe Li-ion batteries bring these within reach. For this modern lithium battery applications thermal management is vital in achieving a good...
