Interventional C-arm systems allow flexible 2-D imaging of a 3-D scene while being capable of cone beam computed tomography. Due to the flexible structure of the C-arm, the rotation speed is limited, increasing the acquisition time compared…

Accurate maps are a prerequisite for virtually all mobile robot tasks. Most state-of-the-art maps assume a static world; therefore, dynamic objects are filtered out of the measurements. However, this division ignores movable but non-moving…
We study the effect of pulsar rotation on timing of binary pulsars, with particular emphasis on the double pulsar system J0737-3039. Special relativistic aberration due to the orbital motion of pulsar changes both the longitude and…
