This book addresses the problem of accurate state estimation in nonlinear continuous-time stochastic models with additive noise and discrete measurements. Its main focus is on numerical aspects of computation of the expectation and covariance in Kalman-like filters rather than on statistical properties determining a model of the system state. Nevertheless, it provides the sound theoretical background and covers all contemporary state estimation techniques beginning at the celebrated Kalman filter, including its versions extended to nonlinear stochastic models, and till the most advanced...

This book provides a foundation of the overall cycle from design and modelling to implementation and control of unmanned systems, exhibiting autonomy and instantiating self-organization amidst disturbances, also functioning in uncertain and dynamic environments. The underlying assumption of the research path taken is that unmanned systems exhibiting attributes of autonomy, autonomous functionality, and resilience have to be considered as technically engineered systems. Hence, validation, verification, certification, and acceptance testing have to be provided together with the product...

This book gathers new empirical findings fostering advances in the areas of digital and communication design, web, multimedia and motion design, graphic design, branding, and related ones. It includes original contributions by authoritative authors based on the best papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Digital Design and Communication, Digicom 2023, together with some invited chapters written by leading international researchers. They report on innovative design strategies supporting communication in a global, digital world, and addressing, at the same time, key...

This book provides an insight into the coherent optical LiDAR system, starting from the fundamental operation of the polarization diversity coherent optical transceiver, widely used in field deployed Terabit optical communication systems. The author first defines LiDAR, i.e., Light Detection and Ranging, as a complex machine designed to measure the distance and the velocity of the target object in a two-dimensional imaging. The book provides a detailed analysis of the electrical engineering aspects of the Code-Modulated (CM) LiDAR, developing a thorough theory and modeling of coherent...

Rehabilitation robotics is an important field of study focused on improving the gait rehabilitation of people affected by neurological disorders, ictus, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries, among others. The study of rehabilitation robotics includes medical activities, kinematics dynamics, and control analysis. This book presents a complete and exhaustive analysis of the kinematics and dynamics of exoskeleton robots for rehabilitation. The forward and inverse kinematics are studied using the geometric, Denavit-Hartenberg, and screw theory approach. The dynamics analysis of exoskeleton...

This textbook is a concise introduction to medical imaging aimed at physical scientists and engineers, including budding biomedical engineers and biophysicists. The book introduces fundamental concepts related to how we "see" inside the body using medical imaging technology and what is needed to obtain useful images.

The text first considers the underlying physical principles by which information about tissues within the body can be extracted in the form of signals, examining the major principles used: transmission, reflection, emission, and resonance. It then explains...
