Semi-supervised object detection has recently achieved substantial progress. As a mainstream solution, the self-labeling-based methods train the detector on both labeled data and unlabeled data with pseudo labels predicted by the detector…
Radial velocity observations of stars are entering the sub-m/s domain revealing fundamental barriers for Doppler precision experiments. Observations of the Sun as a star can easily overcome the m/s photon limit but face other obstacles. We…
Photospheric velocities and stellar activity features such as spots and faculae produce measurable radial velocity signals that currently obscure the detection of sub-meter-per-second planetary signals. However, photospheric velocities are…
Doppler shift formulas are derived for two less studied scenarios: stationary receiver and source in harmonic oscillatory motion and stationary receiver and source in uniform circular motion. For each of the scenarios we derive a formula,…
We determine the nonlinear transformations between coordinate systems which are mutually in a constant symmetrical accelerated motion. The maximal acceleration limit follows from the kinematical origin and it is an analogue of the maximal…
Although the number of camera-based sensors mounted on vehicles has recently increased dramatically, robust and accurate object velocity detection is difficult. Additionally, it is still common to use radar as a fusion system. We have…
We investigate the problem of localizing multiple targets using a single set of measurements from a network of radar sensors. Such "single snapshot imaging" provides timely situational awareness, but can utilize neither platform motion, as…
A direct measurement of the universe's expansion history could be made by observing in real time the evolution of the cosmological redshift of distant objects. However, this would require measurements of Doppler velocity drifts of about 1…

The relative transverse velocity of a lens with respect to the source star in gravitational lensing results in a frequency shift in the light rays passing by a lens. We propose using this relativistic effect for measuring the relative…

Recovering a signal from auto-correlations or, equivalently, retrieving the phase linked to a given Fourier modulus, is a wide-spread problem in imaging. This problem has been tackled in a number of experimental situations, from optical…
This paper introduces an iterative scheme for acoustic model inversion where the notion of proximity of two traces is not the usual least-squares distance, but instead involves registration as in image processing. Observed data are matched…
Many of the planets discovered via the radial velocity technique are hot Jupiters in 3-5 day orbits with ~10$% chance of transiting their parent star. However, radial velocity surveys for extra-solar planets generally require substantial…
