• #### 2D simultaneous localization and mapping for unmanned aerial vehicles ﻿

(2008)
In this work, a 2D vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping algorithm is developed for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle flying at a constant altitude. We use visual features of images obtained from an on-board camera ...

(2009)
In this paper, theoretical limits on estimation of respiration rates via pulse-based ultra-wideband (UWB) signals are studied in the presence of prior information about respiration related signal parameters. First, a ...

(Elsevier, 2002)
We consider a system described by the one-dimensional linear wave equation in a bounded domain with appropriate boundary conditions. To stabilize this system, we propose a dynamic boundary controller applied at the free ...

(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1999-10)
In this paper we propose the application of dither for controlling chaotic systems in the Lur'e form. Dither is a high-frequency periodic signal and has the effect of modifying the nonlinearity for some nonlinear systems. ...
• #### On the performance of linear least-squares estimation in wireless positioning systems ﻿

(2008)
A common technique for wireless positioning is to estimate time-of-arrivals (TOAs) of signals traveling between a target node and a number of reference nodes, and then to determine the position of the target node based on ...

(Springer, 2006)
We give a concise review and extension of S-procedure that is an instrumental tool in control theory and robust optimization analysis. We also discuss the approximate S-Lemma as well as its applications in robust optimization.
