Quasi-bimodal objects, such as text, road signs, and barcodes, play a basic yet vital role in daily visual communication. By boiling these down to clear silhouettes, binarization uses a minimal language to convey essential vision cues for…
The conventional normalized subband p-norm (NSPN) algorithm achieves robustness in $\alpha$-stable noise ($1<\alpha \leq 2$) by utilizing low-order error moments. However, its performance degrades significantly under three scenarios: (1)…
Low-light image enhancement remains a challenging problem due to severe noise, color distortion, contrast degradation, and loss of structural details under insufficient illumination. Existing methods typically apply uniform enhancement…
This tutorial presents cooperative and noncooperative game-theoretic frameworks for modeling, learning, and control in socio-technical systems, where human behavior, incentives, institutions, and social interactions are coupled with…
Despite 230 million speakers, Urdu remains critically under-resourced in speech technology. We introduce UrduSpeech: a large high-fidelity Urdu corpus comprising 156 hours of audio with 12-dimension paralinguistic metadata, encompassing…
Wireless resource allocation in digital-twin-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms must be both network-feasible and certifiably safe for closed-loop control. Existing packet-level or scalar-priority schedulers cannot meaningfully…
Reference media are widely used in distorted-Born-approximation-based GPR imaging to represent partially known propagation effects. When the true host background differs from the chosen reference medium, the difference enters the…
Residential batteries increasingly serve two roles: they can earn money by arbitraging wholesale prices and providing grid services, and they provide backup power during outages. This dual use creates a basic tradeoff between earning market…
We address the conditions and design of controllers and observers for homogeneous networks of linear MIMO agents. We develop networked controllers and observers that ensure the stability of both the system state and the estimation error,…
Edge inference systems are typically evaluated with software-reported latency collected under controlled conditions. We argue, and demonstrate empirically, that deployment interference can corrupt not only the inference timing being…
This work establishes a framework of near-field communication under different array geometries of extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO). We first formulate the near-field spatial non-stationary channel model which…
The sixth generation (6G) of mobile communications and beyond is expected to enable advanced functionalities, such as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), while involving diverse terminal/user equipment types from terrestrial to…
Distributed controller synthesis offers scalable and privacy-preserving control design, but typical state-of-the-art approaches either assume white-box models or resort to centralized synthesis. In this paper, we combine partially known…
This letter investigates the problem of output synchronisation in heterogeneous dynamical networks with nonlinear diffusive couplings in the presence of disturbances on the coupling links. By exploiting relative dissipativity properties…
This letter proposes a distributed 3D leader-follower formation (3D-LFF) control framework for multi-UAV systems that achieves formation tracking while enforcing perception safety constraints. Maintaining safe, vision-based 3D-LFF is…
We experimentally evaluated the sensing-communication trade-off from the fixed-point precision MIMO equalizer using FPGA. At 7-bit, noise floor drops 100x and angular error 63%, but the communication performance saturates while the hardware…
Weakly labeled datasets such as AudioSet have driven recent progress in audio tagging. However, annotation quality varies across sound classes. Labels may be incomplete, ambiguous, or unreliable, which introduces class-dependent supervision…
Finding sound effects or environmental sounds that match a creator's intended impression remains a largely manual process in multimedia production. This is especially relevant for comics and other visual media, where visually stylized…
High-fidelity text-to-music generation typically relies on massive proprietary datasets and immense computational resources. Existing models often struggle to generate coherent pure musical accompaniments and lack precise, localized…
Spatially selective active noise control (SSANC) hearables aim to attenuate noise from certain directions at the eardrum while preserving desired speech arriving from selected directions. Existing SSANC systems typically assume an accurate…
