This contribution deals with code-aided channel estimation for bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) for singleand multi-antenna systems. Based on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, a low-complexity estimator is derived. The receiver iterates between estimation and detection and operates by accepting soft information from the detector. Through computer simulations the proposed estimator,...

In two dimensions, faces are cycles of edges and vertices are cycles of edges. In three dimensions, faces are cycles of edges and edges are cycles of faces. These insights provide the basis for topologies of components of any number of dimensions in twoand three(and more-) dimensional spaces, as might be used for mapping, computer-aided design, etc. We give data structures and basic operations ...

In this work we describe an approach of using physical design and test failure knowledge to localize defects in random logic. We term this approach computer-aided fault to defect mapping (CAFDM). An integrated tool has been developed on top of an existing commercial ATPG tool. CAFDM was able to correctly identify the defect location and layer in all 9 of the chips that had bridging faults injec...

operator's role in industrial control centers takes place in time, which is one of the most important determinants of whether an expected action is going to be successful or not. in certain situations, due to the complex nature of the work, the existing interfaces and already prepared procedures do not meet the dynamic requirements of operator's cognitive demands, making the control tasks unnec...

We present a new Bayesian classifier for computer-aided diagnosis. The new classifier builds upon the naive-Bayes classifier, and models the dependencies among patient findings in an attempt to improve its performance, both in terms of classification accuracy and in terms of calibration of the estimated probabilities. This work finds motivation in the argument that highly calibrated probabiliti...

State of the art for the investigation of the settlements' extension and their temporal change is either conventional mapping (field work, cadastral maps, topographic and thematic maps) or aerial photo interpretation. As these are very time and cost intensive methods and, additionally, the information need for regional and local information systems increases continuously, quicker and cheaper me...
