Adapting Virtual Embodiment through Reinforcement Learning

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

In Virtual Reality, having a virtual body opens a wide range of possibilities as the participant's avatar can appear to be quite different from oneself for the sake of the targeted application (e.g. for perspective-taking). In addition, the system can part ...

Three-dimensional tomography of red blood cells using deep learning

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim

We accurately reconstruct three-dimensional (3-D) refractive index (RI) distributions from highly ill-posed two-dimensional (2-D) measurements using a deep neural network (DNN). Strong distortions are introduced on reconstructions obtained by the Wolf tran ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Filtering

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing algorithms require the network nodes to communicate by exchanging messages in order to achieve a common objective. These messages have a finite precision in realistic networks, which may necessitate to implement message ...

TIA Linearity Analysis for Current Mode Receivers

Catherine Dehollain

Current-mode signal processing offers superior linearity and flexibility in front-end implementation. The linearity of a low-input-impedance Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA), which is used as a buffer stage that follows a passive mixer, is important in dete ...

Dynamic pressure probe response tests for robust measurements in periodic flows close to probe resonating frequency

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

A single-hole probe was designed to measure steady and periodic flows with high fluctuation amplitudes and with minimal flow intrusion. Because of its high aspect ratio, estimations showed that the probe resonates at a frequency two orders of magnitude low ...

A Row-Column Accessed Dynamic Element Matching DAC Architecture for SAR ADCs

Yusuf Leblebici, Mustafa Kilic, Selman Ergünay

Capacitor mismatch in high resolution Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) causes non-linearity effects that reduce the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR). This paper presents a novel dynamic element matching (DEM) te ...

Modelling Hysteresis of Soft Core Materials using Permeance-Capacitance Analogy for Transient Circuit Simulations

Drazen Dujic, Min Luo

Magnetic components using soft core materials are widely used in power electronic converters. The hysteresis effect of the material leads to power loss and harmonic distortion. If this effect can be modelled in system-level time-domain simulation, the perf ...

Successive Refinement of Gaussian Projections

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

Successive refinement is a technique to encode a source iteratively, improving the distortion at each step. If the code rates of all steps combined can be as efficient as coding only for the final distortion in one go, then the source is said to be success ...
