A sailing simulator has been developed from a new point of view. It will rather be for the sailor to use it than for the architect. One boat which characteristics were already known has been chosen. The whole coupled mechanic equations…
A simulator of two sailing boats in interaction is being made in order to provide sportsmen with a reliable analytical tool. We presently describe different models we used. Stationary hydrodynamics efforts have been specially evaluated.…
A new approach in team sports analysis consists in studying positioning and movements of players during the game in relation to team performance. State of the art tracking systems produce spatio-temporal traces of players that have…
Measurement system analysis aims to quantify the variability in data attributable to the measurement system and evaluate its contribution to overall data variability. This paper conducts a rigorous theoretical investigation of the…
Today many compact and efficient on-water data acquisition units help the modern coaching by measuring and analyzing various inertial signals during kayaking. One of the most challenging problems is how these signals can be used to estimate…
Real-time altitude control of airborne wind energy (AWE) systems can improve performance by allowing turbines to track favorable wind speeds across a range of operating altitudes. The current work explores the performance implications of…
This work discusses how to choose performance measures to compare numerical simulations of a flood event with one satellite image, e.g., in a model calibration or validation procedure. A series of criterion are proposed to evaluate the…
In this paper high resolution wave probe records are examined using wavelet techniques with a view to determining the sources and relative contributions of capillary wave energy along representative wind wave forms. Wavelets enable…
The paper presents a method to validate and refine the ship's route during the voyage. The method is based on computing several characteristic coefficients that represent and measure route properties. Thru the analysis of the values of…
The objective of this paper is to design performance metrics and respective formulas to quantitatively evaluate the achievement of set objectives and expected outcomes both at the course and program levels. Evaluation is defined as one or…
The paper presents a tool for the mapping of the performance of building systems on European scale for different (future) time periods. The tool is to use for users and be applicable for different building systems. Users should also be able…
The aim of this paper is to present a procedure for video analysis applied in an innovative way to diving performance assessment. Sport performance analysis is a trend that is growing exponentially for all level athletes. The technique here…
This paper gives an overview of recent research on the performance evaluation and design of carousel systems. We discuss picking strategies for problems involving one carousel, consider the throughput of the system for problems involving…
In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art model and introduce a new dataset for grounded language learning. Our goal is to develop a model that can learn to follow new instructions given prior instruction-perception-action examples. We…
On the basis of an analysis of previous research, we present a generalized approach for measuring the difference of plans with an exemplary application to machine scheduling. Our work is motivated by the need for such measures, which are…
In certain systems which are subject to significant constant external forcing such as an airplane in wind or an underwater glider in ocean currents, the ability to detect the forcing depends on both the measurements available and whether…
Agility Assessment (AA) comprises tools, assessment techniques, and frameworks that focus on indicating how a company or a team is applying agile techniques and eventually pointing out problems in adopting agile practices at a…
Performance measurement of robotic controllers based on fuzzy logic, operating under uncertainty, is a subject area which has been somewhat ignored in the current literature. In this paper standard measures such as RMSE are shown to be…
To move upwind, sailing vessels have to cross the wind by tacking. During this manoeuvre distance made good may be lost and especially smaller vessels may struggle to complete a tack in averse wind and wave conditions. A decision for the…
An extremely schematic model of the forces acting an a sailing yacht equipped with a system of foils is here presented and discussed. The role of the foils is to raise the hull from the water in order to reduce the total resistance and then…
