Abstract The health of a human body is monitored through several physiological measurements such as the heart rate, the blood pressure, the oxygen saturation levels, brain activity, etc. These measurements are taken at predefined points in the body and recorded as temporal signals or colorful images. During the diagnosis phase, physicians analyze these records visually (sometimes it is not visual with the progress in medicine, better to say: sometimes visually) to take treatment decisions. These records are usually contaminated with noise. The origin of this noise may be diverse. For instance

Model Predictive Control Systems for Industrial Applications

B3 L5 R5209

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an d advanced control strategy widely used in the process industries and beyond. Therefore, industry is interested in the developments of MPC formulations that can enhance safety, reliability, and economic profitability of chemical processes. Motivated by these considerations, the first part of this talk focuses on the development of methods for integrating process operational safety and process economics within model predictive control system designs.

Signal Processing and Optimization Techniques for High Accuracy Indoor Localization, Tracking, and Attitude Determination

-

B1 L3 R3119

High-accuracy indoor localization and tracking systems are essential for many modern applications and technologies. However, accurate location estimation of moving targets is challenging. This thesis addresses the challenges in indoor localization and tracking systems and proposes several solutions. A novel signal design, which we named Differential Zadoff-Chu, allows us to develop algorithms that accurately estimate the distances of static and moving targets even under random Doppler shifts. The results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the state-of-the-art in terms of both accuracy and complexity.

A new fast cooperative algorithm enhances target localization technique in wireless sensor networks

1 min read ·
Recently, a team of researchers from KAUST, including Yingquan Li, Bodhibrata Mukhopadhyay, and Mohamed-Slim Alouini, introduced a new cooperative localization technique that increases localization efficiency in wireless sensor networks. Known as FCUP (Fast Cooperative localization technique with Unknown transmit Power), this innovation contributes to tackling the longstanding challenge of localization without knowledge of transmitting power. FCUP offers an advanced solution to the problem of estimating the location and transmit power of nodes in real time. "FCUP represents a novel leap
