Transmit Waveform Optimization for Spatial-Frequency Diversity MIMO Radar in the Presence of Clutter by Yonghao Tang, Xiaofeng Ma, Weixing Sheng, Yubing Han

“…Benefitting from the independent target echoes of diversity channels, diversity MIMO radar can efficiently improve system performance, such as target detection and parameter estimation. Due to the fact that the RCS (radar cross section) of complex target may vary with the different transmitted carrier frequencies and array geometries, many recent researches study at the background of diversity MIMO radar equipped with widely separated array antennas or working at multiple carrier frequencies, respectively. …”

Improved Low-Complexity Demodulation: Integrating Minimum-Mean-Square-Error and Maximum-Likelihood Detection for Image-Sensor-Based Visible Light Communication by Yuki Ohira, Shintaro Arai, Kengo Fujii, Tomohiro Yendo

“…To address these limitations, this study introduces an improved error signal candidate selection algorithm that focuses on residual signals and channel matrix characteristics to refine the signal estimation result. Through iterative refinement using low-complexity detectors such as those based on zero-forcing (ZF), and minimum-mean-square error (MMSE), our method substantially narrows the search space for the MLD, thus striking a balance between demodulation performance and computational efficiency. …”

Study on Void Structure Reconstruction of Asphalt Mixture by X-Ray Computed Tomography and Otsu’s Method by Jiantong Zhang, Jun Yang, Tiejun Liu, Rongxing Cai, Rui Yang

“…The air void distributions of obtained CT images were analyzed using ring blocking segmentation combining Otsu’s method, which provided an accurate estimate of air voids in asphalt mixtures. The image processing results showed that air void distribution was not uniform in the specimens; higher air void concentrations were found at the top and bottom of the specimen, and lower, in the rest of the sample depth. …”
