This paper presents the design and test of a simple active near-infrared sparse detector imaging sensor. The prototype of the sensor is novel in that it can capture remarkable silhouettes or profiles of a wide-variety of moving objects, including hum...
Millimeter-wave automotive radar has become an essential tool for autonomous driving, providing reliable sensing capabilities under various environmental conditions. To reduce hardware size and cost, sparse arrays are widely employed in automotive ra...
The notion of a profiling sensor was first realized by a Near-Infrared (N-IR) retro-reflective prototype consisting of a vertical column of wired sparse detectors. This paper extends that prior work and presents a wireless version of a profiling sens...
Existing scanning laser three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has slow measurement speed. In addition, the measurement accuracy of non-scanning laser 3D imaging technology based on area array detectors is limited by the resolution and response fr...
In this paper we consider the tracking problem of a moving target competing against noise and clutter in a surveillance radar scenario. For a single array-antenna multiple-target tracking system and according to the Track-Before-Detect paradigm, we p...
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology, a cutting-edge advancement in mobile applications, presents a myriad of compelling use cases, including enhancing low-light photography, capturing and sharing 3D images of fascinating objects, and eleva...
Phaseless terahertz coded-aperture imaging (PL-TCAI) is a novel radar computational imaging method that utilizes the coded aperture and the incoherent detector array to achieve forward-looking and high-resolution imaging without relying on relative m...
A spatial heterodyne spectrometer records two-dimensional interferograms using an area-array detector and reconstructs high-resolution spectra through Fourier transformation. Blind pixels caused by detector defects can disrupt interferometric structu...
The range accuracy of single-photon-array three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems is limited by the time resolution of the array detectors. We introduce a method for achieving super-resolution in 3D imaging through sub-bin delayed scanning acquisition...
The spatial resolution of an infrared focal plane polarization detection system is limited by the structure of the detector, resulting in lower resolution than the actual array size. To overcome this limitation and improve imaging resolution, we prop...
Hyssopus officinalis L. (HO) is, as one of the most prevalently utilized plants, used in traditional medicine to cure various diseases as well as the in food and cosmetic industries. Moreover, HO is a rich source of polyphenols with potent antioxidan...
Autonomous driving perception demands low latency, high temporal resolution, and stringent hardware efficiency. While event-based spiking neural networks (SNNs) offer bio-inspired sparse computation, their deployment on edge field-programmable gate a...
This paper presents the RaDICAL sensing framework, a monostatic passive radar concept that combines a Sparse Uniform Circular Array (SUCA), deterministic multifrequency dither, and dictionary-based waveform recognition for target detection and classi...
Crithmum maritimum, commonly known as rock samphire, is a plant species with a long history of use in traditional medicine and cuisine, especially in the Mediterranean region. Despite its potential therapeutic and commercial applications, the number...
