Navigation of a team of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) coordinated by an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is efficient and reliable for deep ocean exploration. AUVs depart from and return to the USV after collaborative navigation, data…

The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS suffer from accuracy degradation and are almost unavailable in indoor environments. Indoor positioning systems (IPS) based on WiFi signals have been gaining popularity. However, owing…

We are interested in the assessment of electromagnetic Path-Loss in complex environments. The Path-loss is the attenuation function $P$ of the electromagnetic power at a distance $d$ of an antenna. In free-space, $P(d) \propto 1/d^2$, in…

Training networks to perform metric relocalization traditionally requires accurate image correspondences. In practice, these are obtained by restricting domain coverage, employing additional sensors, or capturing large multi-view datasets.…

A macrocell superposed by indoor deployed femtocells forms a geography-overlapped and spectrum-shared two tier network, which can efficiently improve coverage and enhance system capacity. It is important for reducing inter-tier co-channel…

Safe and efficient path planning is crucial for autonomous mobile robots. A prerequisite for path planning is to have a comprehensive understanding of the 3D structure of the robot's environment. On MAVs this is commonly achieved using…

Recent advances in depth sensing technologies allow fast electronic maneuvering of the laser beam, as opposed to fixed mechanical rotations. This will enable future sensors, in principle, to vary in real-time the sampling pattern. We…

Accurate estimation of the sound speed profile (SSP) is essential for underwater acoustic communication, sonar performance, and navigation, as the acoustic wave propagation depends strongly on the SSP. This work considers SSP estimation in…
