Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are promising high order discretizations for unsteady compressible flows. Here, we focus on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). These flows are characterized by a fine resolution in z-direction and low Mach numbers, making the system stiff. Thus, implicit time integration is required and for this a fast, highly parallel, low-memory iterative solver for the resul

Here we present a new eastern Baltic Chironomidae training set (TS) containing 35 sites that was collected and merged with neighbouring published Finnish (82 lakes) and northern part of the Polish (nine lakes) TSs. Chironomidae, non-biting midges, are known to be strongly responsive to the July air temperature and are widely used to infer palaeotemperature. Several modern analogue-based TSs necess

In this paper we target the color transfer estimation problem, when we have pixel-to-pixel correspondences. We present a feature-based method, that robustly fits color transforms to data containing gross outliers. Our solution is based on an optimal inlier maximization algorithm that maximizes the number of inliers in polynomial time. We introduce a simple feature detector and descriptor based on

In this paper we present a unified formulation for a large class of relative pose problems with radial distortion and varying calibration. For minimal cases, we show that one can eliminate the number of parameters down to one to three. The relative pose can then be expressed using varying calibration constraints on the fundamental matrix, with entries that are polynomial in the parameters. We can

This thesis proposes approaches and models to increase the energy saving of the User Equipment (UE) in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G. The focus is mainly on Discontinuous Reception (DRX), the UE energy saving mechanism that was first introduced in LTE and will play an important role in 5G too.In this thesis, we take two main approaches. The first approach is based on joint optimization of DRX a

Atmospheric inversions are used to derive constraints on the net sources and sinks of CO2 and other stable atmospheric tracers from their observed concentrations. The resolution and accuracy that the fluxes can be estimated with depends, among other factors, on the quality and density of the observational coverage, on the precision and accuracy of the transport model used by the inversion to relat

Regression via classification (RvC) is a common method used for regression problems in deep learning, where the target variable belongs to a set of continuous values. By discretizing the target into a set of non-overlapping classes, it has been shown that training a classifier can improve neural network accuracy compared to using a standard regression approach. However, it is not clear how the set

This work considers direction-finding using a monostatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar in the presence of impulsive noise. Employing a novel low-order covariance-based exponential kernel function, the proposed maximum likelihood (ML) formulation exploits an introduced quantum whale optimization algorithm (QWOA) to form the direction estimates. The resulting estimates are shown to be

This is a comment on the review by Korolev and Leisner (2020, hereafter KL2020). The only two laboratory/field studies ever to measure the breakup in ice-ice collisions for in-cloud conditions were negatively criticised by KL2020, as were our subsequent theoretical and modelling studies informed by both studies. First, hypothetically, even without any further laboratory experiments, such theoretic

Prior results on target localization and circumnavigation with bearing measurements in $\mathbb {R}^{2}$ are extended with integral action, resulting in a control system that is robust to bounded load disturbances on the control inputs. Such disturbances may arise in practice due to modeling errors and need to be considered to ensure small tracking errors. The control inputs are modeled as the sys

Jump models switch infrequently between states to fit a sequence of data while taking the ordering of the data into account We propose a new framework for joint feature selection, parameter and state-sequence estimation in jump models. Feature selection is necessary in high-dimensional settings where the number of features is large compared to the number of observations and the underlying states d

In this paper, we extend the generalized SPICE estimator to the multichannel case, illustrating the resulting performance gain for direction of arrival estimation. The resulting estimator is found to offer improved estimation performance and robustness to the presence of correlated sources.

In the dawning age of autonomous driving, accurate and robust tracking of vehicles is a quintessential part. This is inextricably linked with the problem of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM), in which one tries to determine the position of a vehicle relative to its surroundings without prior knowledge of them. The more you know about the object you wish to track—through sensors or mecha

We present a model for generating 3d articulated pedestrian locomotion in urban scenarios, with synthesis capabilities informed by the 3d scene semantics and geometry. We reformulate pedestrian trajectory forecasting as a structured reinforcement learning (RL) problem. This allows us to naturally combine prior knowledge on collision avoidance, 3d human motion capture and the motion of pedestrians

Precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has major societal impacts in South and East Asia, but its spatiotemporal variations are not well understood, mainly because of the sparsely distributed in situ observation sites. With the help of the Global Precipitation Measurement satellite product IMERG and the ERA5 dataset, distinct precipitation seasonality features over the TP were objectively cla

A wide range of medical examinations are using analysis of images from different types of equipment. Using artificial intelligence, the assessments could be done automatically. This can have multiple benefits for the healthcare; reduce workload for medical doctors, decrease variations in diagnoses and cut waiting times for the patient as well as improve the performance. The aim of this thesis has

For decades, measured ice crystal number concentrations have been found to be orders of magnitude higher than measured ice-nucleating particle number concentrations in moderately cold clouds. This observed discrepancy reveals the existence of secondary ice production (SIP) in addition to the primary ice nucleation. However, the importance of SIP relative to primary ice nucleation remains highly un
