Velocity Acquisition Methods for Stable Haptic Simulation Systems
Haptic simulation systems enable the perception of virtual environments through the sense of touch. These systems are composed of a haptic device through which an operator interacts with the virtual environment that is ... -
Multifunction Radio Frequency System Design Using Nonlinear Models
Multifunction radio frequency (RF) systems provide a general-purpose hardware platform for designers to implement arbitrary waveform transmission and reception. In this thesis, a multifunction RF transceiver is designed, ... -
Pre-compensation of nonlinear distortion of a silicon microring modulator in short reach systems
Silicon photonics has attracted significant attention due to its compatibility with CMOS technology and the potential for both discrete and integrated devices. As a critical component in silicon-based communication systems, ... -
Driver Behavior Modelling and Risk Profiling Using Large-Scale Naturalistic Driving Data
Driver risk profiling is an emerging scheme in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Conventionally, a risk score of a driver is calculated on a per-trip basis according to the number of harsh braking, ... -
Scalar Quantization Algorithms for the Robust Transmission of Correlated Sources Over One- and Two-Way Channels
The problem of lossy transmission of correlated sources over discrete two-way channels (TWCs) is considered. The objective is to develop a robust low delay and low complexity source-channel coding scheme without using error ... -
Imperceptible Structured Light Projection Mapping for Augmented Reality
A novel method is proposed to imperceptibly embed structured light patterns in projected content and decode them to extract a real time range image stream suitable for dynamic projection mapping applications. A commercially ... -
Optimal payoff to ensure opacity in Discrete-Event Systems
Opacity is a property of systems which guarantees that an outside observer cannot distinguish some behaviour of the system (secrets) from other behaviours (non-secrets). Many companies and government agencies like to make ... -
Efficient Structured Light Pattern Using Inverse Rectification
This thesis presents inverse rectification, a novel method for establishing correspondence in depth estimation. The rectifying homography of the projector-camera pair is used to warp a pattern of vertical dash features. ... -
