  2. 6. Control and Estimation of Automotive Powertrains with Backlash

    Author : Adam Lagerberg; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; backlash control; powertrain control; driveability; backlash estimation; model predictive control; optimal control; Automatic control;

    Abstract : In automotive powertrains, backlash causes problems with vehicle driveability, specifically at so called tip-in and tip-out maneuvers. These maneuvers may trigger phenomena known in the automotive industry as shunt and shuffle, which are partially caused by the backlash. READ MORE

  4. 7. Design and analysis of estimators for multicarrier modulation and ultrasonic imaging

    Author : Magnus Sandell; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signalbehandling; Signal Processing;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with two areas: multicarrier modulation and ultrasonic imaging. Although different in application, these fields have a lot in common. For instance, synchronization and channel estimation in communication systems correspond to time-delay estimation and system identification in ultrasonic imaging. READ MORE

  5. 8. Efficient Image Retrieval with Statistical Color Descriptors

    Author : Linh Viet Tran; Reiner Lenz; Björn Kruse; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; color properties; images; statistical; content-based image retrieval CBIR ; non-parametric density estimators; image database; Kernel; Gram-Schmidt; geometry-based; Information technology; Informationsteknologi;

    Abstract : Color has been widely used in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications. In such applications the color properties of an image are usually characterized by the probability distribution of the colors in the image. READ MORE

  6. 9. Discrete Stochastic Time-Frequency Analysis and Cepstrum Estimation

    Author : Johan Sandberg; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ambiguity domain; time-frequency analysis; time-frequency representations; covariance function; non-stationary random processes; Speaker recognition; MFCC; cepstrum;

    Abstract : The theory of stochastic time-frequency analysis of non-stationary random processes has mostly been developed for processes in continuous time. In practice however, random processes are observed, processed, and interpreted at a finite set of time points. READ MORE

  7. 10. Learning Stochastic Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Using Non-stationary Linear Predictors

    Author : Mohamed Abdalmoaty; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Jimmy Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic Nonlinear Systems; Nonlinear System Identification; Learning Dynamical Models; Maximum Likelihood; Estimation; Process Disturbance; Prediction Error Method; Non-stationary Linear Predictors; Intractable Likelihood; Latent Variable Models; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The estimation problem of stochastic nonlinear parametric models is recognized to be very challenging due to the intractability of the likelihood function. Recently, several methods have been developed to approximate the maximum likelihood estimator and the optimal mean-square error predictor using Monte Carlo methods. READ MORE
