2. 1. Acoustic Sound Source Localisation and Tracking : in Indoor Environments

   Author : Anders Johansson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Room acoustics; Speaker localisation; Tracking; State-space filter; Sequential Monte Carlo method; Particle filter;

   Abstract : With advances in micro-electronic complexity and fabrication, sophisticated algorithms for source localisation and tracking can now be deployed in cost sensitive appliances for both consumer and commercial markets. As a result, such algorithms are becoming ubiquitous elements of contemporary communication, robotics and surveillance systems. READ MORE

4. 2. Stress, Flow and Particle Transport in Rock Fractures

   Author : Tomofumi Koyama; Lanru Jing; Marc Boulon; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Numerical simulation; laboratory experiments; rock fracture; coupled stress-flow-tracer test; shear displacement; fluid flow; particle transport; finite element method FEM ; particle tracking method; Navier-Stokes equation; Reynolds equation; streamline velocity dispersion.; Geoengineering; Geoteknik;

   Abstract : The fluid flow and tracer transport in a single rock fracture during shear processes has been an important issue in rock mechanics and is investigated in this thesis using Finite Element Method (FEM) and streamline particle tracking method, considering evolutions of aperture and transmissivity with shear displacement histories under different normal stresses, based on laboratory tests. The distributions of fracture aperture and its evolution during shear were calculated from the initial aperture fields, based on the laser-scanned surface roughness features of replicas of rock fracture specimens, and shear dilations measured during the coupled shear-flow-tracer tests in laboratory performed using a newly developed testing apparatus in Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, Japan.

5. 3. Segmentation and tracking of cells and particles in time-lapse microscopy

   Author : Klas E. G. Magnusson; Joakim Jaldén; Dirk Padfield; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cell tracking; Particle tracking; Multiple target tracking; Image segmentation; Image processing; Computer vision; Open source software; Time-lapse microscopy; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : In biology, many different kinds of microscopy are used to study cells. There are many different kinds of transmission microscopy, where light is passed through the cells, that can be used without staining or other treatments that can harm the cells. READ MORE

6. 4. Position Estimation and Tracking in Colloidal Particle Microscopy

   Author : Mats Kvarnström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; censored regression; colloidal chemistry; depth estimation; diffusion coefficient; nonparametric function estimation; position estimation; rotational symmetry; tracking; template matching; video microscopy; rotational symmetry;

   Abstract : This thesis presents methods for estimating the locations (including depth) of spherical colloidal particles in images recorded in video microscopy. Understanding the behavior of colloidal interactions and diffusion is of crucial importance in a vast number of areas. READ MORE

7. 5. Optical characterisation of subwavelength dielectric particles using particle tracking beyond the Stokes-Einstein relation

   Author : Erik Olsén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; off-axis holography; Optical microscopy; size determination; particle tracking; partial slip; lipid vesicles; particle dynamics;

   Abstract : As the importance of nanoparticles continues to increase in both biology and industrial processes, so does the need for accurate and versatile characterisation methods. However, most light-based methods to quantify size and refractive index of individual particles are either limited to snapshot observations, particles larger than the wavelength of light, non-dynamic particle properties, or assuming the hydrodynamic boundary conditions without experimental evaluation.
