A Lightweight Goal-Based model for Trajectory Prediction

We present a lightweight goal-based model for multimodal, probabilistic trajectory prediction for urban driving. Previous conditioned-on-goal methods have used map information in order to establish a set of potential goals and then complete the correspondi ...

Mapping Active Site Geometry to Activity in Immobilized Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalysts

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Shubhajit Das, Rubén Laplaza Solanas

The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...

An experimental investigation of a roof-mounted horizontal-axis wind turbine in an idealized urban environment

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar, Guillem Armengol Barcos

Wind-tunnel experiments are performed to investigate the effect of minor modifications to the roof edge shape on the power performance and wake characteristics of a horizontal-axis wind turbine sited on a cube-shaped building. Three roof edge shapes are co ...

Clustering and Informative Path Planning for 3D Gas Distribution Mapping: Algorithms and Performance Evaluation

Alcherio Martinoli, Chiara Ercolani, Ankita Arun Humne, Lixuan Tang

Chemical gas dispersion can represent a severe threat to human and animal lives, as well as to the environment. Constructing a map of the distribution of gas in a fast and reliable manner is critical to ensure accurate monitoring of at-risk facilities and ...

A physics-based model for wind turbine wake expansion in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Dara Vahidi

Analytical wind turbine wake models are widely used to predict the wake velocity deficit. In these models, the wake growth rate is a key parameter specified mainly with empirical formulations. In this study, a new physics-based model is proposed and valida ...

Mapping forest in the Swiss Alps treeline ecotone with explainable deep learning

Devis Tuia, Thiên-Anh Claris Nguyen, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Forest maps are essential to understand forest dynamics. Due to the increasing availability of remote sensing data and machine learning models like convolutional neural networks, forest maps can these days be created on large scales with high accuracy. Com ...

Fine-grained population mapping from coarse census counts and open geodata

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Muhammad Imran

Fine-grained population maps are needed in several domains, like urban planning, environmental monitoring, public health, and humanitarian operations. Unfortunately, in many countries only aggregate census counts over large spatial units are collected, mor ...
