We present a method for complex frequency estimation in several variables, extending the classical one-dimensional ESPRIT algorithm, and consider how to work with data sampled on nonstandard domains, i.e., going beyond multirectangles.

In editors for visual languages it is often useful to provide interactive feedback that depends on the static semantics of the edited program. In this paper we demonstrate how such feedback can be implemented using reference attribute grammars. Because the implementation is declarative, it is easy to modularize compiler and editor computations, reusing the compiler's program model in the editor. F

This paper presents a study of the sensor network calibration time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements. Such calibration arise in several applications such as calibration of (acoustic or ultrasound) microphone arrays, bluetooth arrays, and radio antenna networks. We propose a non-iterative algorithm that apply a three-step stratification process, (i) using a set of rank constraints to determ

Demands for efficient, greener, economical and sustainable production of chemicals, materials and energy have led to development of industrial biotechnology as a key technology area to provide such products from bio-based raw materials from agricultural-, forestry- and related industrial residues and by-products. For the bio-based industry, it is essential to develop a number of building blocks or

This article discusses problems concerning the use of colour in botanical illustrations, focusing on a specific species, the Orchis ustulata (Burnt Orchid). In 1901-1905 the Swedish botanist Carl Lindman (1856-1928) was responsible for the publication of the Swedish flora Bilder ur Nordens flora, that was, in some ways, a reworking of J. W. Palmstruch’s Svensk botanik (1802-1843). Palmstruch’s han

In this paper we describe how techniques for refactoring can be used for visual editing of hybrid languages, that is, languages that have both a visual and a textual syntax. Textual languages have name rules that define how name uses are bound to name declarations. These bindings often correspond to connections in the visual language, and need to be taken into account in order to implement the vis

This thesis looks at present-day ecclesial use of the Bible by investigating the reception of narrative parables from the Gospel of Luke, chapters 10–15, in sermon guidelines published 1985–2013 in two periodicals aimed mainly at Church of Sweden clergy. The main problems can be expressed by the words “what”, “how” and “why”: What is received – and what is not received? How is that which is receiv

In this paper, we revisit the classical perspective-n-point (PnP) problem, and propose the first non-iterative O(n) solution that is fast, generally applicable and globally optimal. Our basic idea is to formulate the PnP problem into a functional minimization problem and retrieve all its stationary points by using the Gr¨obner basis technique. The novelty lies in a non-unit quaternion representati

Den dokumentvillkorade garantin, som i praktiken vanligen betecknas som självständig, känneteck-nas av att villkoren i utfästelsen väsentligen endast innefattar villkor som refererar till att vissa angivna dokument presenteras för garanten. Dokumentvillkorade garantier förekommer vanligtvis i avtalsstrukturer som involverar ett flertal olika avtal och parter. De typer av avtal som omfattas av sådaDocumentary guarantees, in practice usually described as independent guarantees, are characterized by the fact that they essentially contain only conditions referring to whether or not certain specified documents are presented to the guarantor. A documentary guarantee is usually only one part of a contractual structure involving several contracts and parties. Such contracts give rise to special le

What is the computational complexity of geometric model estimation in the presence of noise and outliers? We show that the number of outliers can be minimized in polynomial time with respect to the number of measurements, although exponential in the model dimension. Moreover, for a large class of problems, we prove that the statistically more desirable truncated L2-norm can be optimized with the s

Traditional industrial robots have problems interacting with an uncalibrated, ill-defined environment where part geometry and position may vary. Active force control technology has therefore been suggested as a solution to add the extra sensory dimension needed to handle manufacturing tasks like assembly and deburring. The technology is proposed to give increased flexibility compared to other solu

The top layer of a road is made up of a mixture of stones and bitumen and the durability is dependent on how well the bitumen adheres to the stones. The standard way of determining the bitumen coverage in the industry is the so called rolling bottle method, where a number of stones cov- ered with bitumen are put in a rolling bottle and the bitu- men coverage is estimated after different times. Thi

Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate

In this demo we will show how devices from different vendors, using different protocols, can be combined and made to work together without detailed low-level programming by the user. The small example we have chosen uses a radio-controlled power socket from one vendor and a temperature sensor from another vendor. We use these to create a remotely controlled electric kettle, which keeps the water a

There is a need for an automatic Gleason scoring system that can be used for prostate cancer diagnosis. Today the diagnoses are determined by pathologists manually, which is both a complex and a time-consuming task. To reduce the pathologists' workload, but also to reduce variations between different pathologists, an automatic classification system would be of great use. Some previous works have a

Inthispaper,wedescribeanovelsystemthatidentifiesrelationsbetweentheobjectsextractedfromanimage. We started from the idea that in addition to the geometric and visual properties of the image objects, we could exploit lexical and semantic information from the text accompanying the image. As experimental set up, we gathered a corpus of images from Wikipedia as well as their associated articles. We ex

This paper describes a set of methods to link entities across images and text. As a corpus, we used a data set of images, where each image is commented by a short caption and where the regions in the images are manually segmented and labeled with a category. We extracted the entity mentions from the captions and we computed a semantic similarity between the mentions and the region labels. We also

Planar motion is an important and frequently occurring situation in mobile robotics applications. This thesis concerns estimation of ego-motion and pose of a single downwards oriented camera under the assumptions of planar motion and known internal camera parameters. The so called essential matrix (or its uncalibrated counterpart, the fundamental matrix) is frequently used in computer vision appli

This research uses data from observations of 8277 motorcyclists at various types of roads of the road hierarchy in Malaysia in 2015, to investigate the effects of road characteristics, motorcyclists’ riding behaviour, motorcyclists’ and motorcycles’ characteristics on the occurrence of riding with excessive speed. For data collection and analysis, new software, i.e. MECHROM, was developed. The spe
