Une plage à Genève. Oui, mais quelle plage ? by Simon Gaberell, Joëlle Salomon Cavin

“…A difference in the appreciation of the value of the biodiversity of the lake compared with the social benefits of the beach project is at the origin of this controversy. Defined based on a qualitative survey conducted among naturalists involved in the controversy, three types of notions shed light on the values associated with nature in urban areas : (1) a defensive concept of nature in the city, associated with the idea of a suspended pontoon ; (2) an integrated notion embodied by the installation of a shore, constituting a transition between the beach and the lake ; (3) a utilitarian concept associated with the creation of a park with a lawn. …”

Multiple extended target tracking by truncated JPDA in a clutter environment by Qinlei Li, Liping Song, Yongquan Zhang

“…In this study, a tractable algorithm based on the Gaussian process measurement model and truncated joint probabilistic data association technique is proposed for multiple extended target tracking in the presence of measurement origin uncertainty. Based on the marginal association probabilities, the calculation amount is effectively reduced by truncating the association events with low probabilities in the shortest path problem. …”

A Moving Source Localization Method for Distributed Passive Sensor Using TDOA and FDOA Measurements by Zhixin Liu, Yongjun Zhao, Dexiu Hu, Chengcheng Liu

“…Both theoretical analysis and simulations show that the theoretical bias always meets the actual bias when the noise level is small, and the proposed method can reduce the bias effectively while keeping the same root mean square error (RMSE) with the original MLE and Taylor-series method. Meanwhile, it is less sensitive to the initial guess and attains the CRLB under Gaussian TDOA and FDOA noise at a moderate noise level before the thresholding effect occurs.…”
