Blind Adaptive Multi-User Detection Applied to a Power-Line Data Transmission System

In this paper the CMOE detector proposed in 111 is modified to cope with a varying SNR of the signal of interest in a multi-user environment. The detector is applied to a DS-CDMA system, where several users transmit data simultaneously and asynchronously over a noisy, frequency selective power-line channel. A comparison is performed between the improved CMOE detector and a RAKE receiver for a n...

Prototype Line Crawler for Power Line Inspection

In South Africa, electricity is supplied through thousands-of-kilometers of overhead power cables, which is owned by Eskom the national energy supplier. Currently monitoring of these overhead power cables are done by means of helicopter inspection flights and foot patrols, which are infrequent and expensive. In this paper, the authors present the design of a prototype power line crawler (inspec...

Qualitative Multi-scale Feature Hierarchies for Object Tracking

This paper shows how the performance of feature trackers can be improved by building a hierarchical view-based object representation consisting of qualitative relations between image structures at different scales. The idea is to track all image features individually, and to use the qualitative feature relations for avoiding mismatches, resolving ambiguous matches and for introducing feature hy...

Multi Sensor Fusion for Object Detection Using Generalized Feature Models

This paper presents a multi sensor tracking system and introduces the use of new generalized feature models. To detect and recognize objects as selfcontained parts of the real world with two or more sensors of the same or of several types requires on the one hand fusion methods suitable for combining the data coming from the set of sensors in an optimal manner. This is realized by a sensor fusi...
