Spatial audio understanding is essential for accurately perceiving and interpreting acoustic environments. However, existing audio-language models exhibit limitations in processing spatial audio and perceiving spatial acoustic scenes. To…
Unlike the traditional model of information pull, matchmaking is base on a cooperative partnership between information providers and consumers, assisted by an intelligent facilitator (the matchmaker). Refer to some experiments, the…
Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can be used to assist maritime wireless communications for wide-area data transmission. However, the extensive coverage of LEO satellites, combined with the openness of channels, can cause the communication…
In this paper, we introduce OpenVSLAM, a visual SLAM framework with high usability and extensibility. Visual SLAM systems are essential for AR devices, autonomous control of robots and drones, etc. However, conventional open-source visual…
The standardisation of gamma-ray astronomical data emerged in recent years as a necessity for the future generation of gamma-ray observatories. Nevertheless, adopting a common format for gamma-ray instruments can already benefit the current…
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a form of cloud computing that relieves the user from the concern of hardware, software installation and management. It is an emerging business model that delivers software applications to the users through…
This article introduces an approach to facilitate cooperative exploration and mapping of large-scale, near-ground, underground, or indoor spaces via a novel integration framework for locally-dense agent map data. The effort targets limited…
SLAM is becoming a key component of robotics and augmented reality (AR) systems. While a large number of SLAM algorithms have been presented, there has been little effort to unify the interface of such algorithms, or to perform a holistic…
The Galactica simulation database is a platform designed to assist computational astrophysicists with their open science approach based on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. It offers the means to publish their…
We report on an informal survey about the use of software in the worldwide astronomical community. The survey was carried out between December 2014 and February 2015, collecting responses from 1142 astronomers, spanning all career levels.…
Simultaneous Localization & Mapping (SLAM) is the process of building a mutual relationship between localization and mapping of the subject in its surrounding environment. With the help of different sensors, various types of SLAM systems…
Interaction-Oriented Programming (IOP) is an approach to building a multiagent system by modeling the interactions between its roles via a flexible interaction protocol and implementing agents to realize the interactions of the roles they…
iSpec is an integrated spectroscopic software framework suitable for the creation of spectral libraries such as the Benchmark Stars library and the determination of atmospheric parameters (i.e. effective temperature, surface gravity,…
Sparse superposition codes were originally proposed as a capacity-achieving communication scheme over the gaussian channel, whose coding matrices were made of i.i.d. gaussian entries.We extend this coding scheme to more generic ensembles of…
Prior works have explored multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms for the selection of optimal beams for millimeter-wave (mmW) communications between base station and mobile users. However, when the number of beams is large, the existing MAB…
Scientific applications produce a huge amount of data, which imposes serious management and analysis challenges. In particular, limitations in current database management systems prevent their adoption in simulation applications, in which…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a powerful transmission technique that enhances the spectral efficiency of communication links, and is being investigated for 5G standards and beyond. A major drawback of NOMA is the need to apply…
Blind individuals, who by necessity depend on screen readers to interact with computers, face considerable challenges in navigating the diverse and complex graphical user interfaces of different computer applications. The heterogeneity of…
A Data Access Protocol has been set up to search and retrieve Planetary Science data in general. This protocol will allow the user to select a subset of data from an archive in a standard way, based on the IVOA Table Access Protocol (TAP).…
