Channel capacity analysis of non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication in noncoplanar geometry based on traversing tiny unit method by Peng SONG, Caixia SU, Taifei ZHAO, Jinni CHEN, Lei ZHU, Xiaodan ZHANG

“…Channel capacity reflects the ability of the system to transmit information without errors.The path loss and impulse response of the system were calculated based on traversing tiny unit method,and then the frequency response of the system was obtained by the discrete Fourier transform of the impulse response sampling sequence,and the 3 dB bandwidth of the system was calculated.Considering the shot noise caused by signal light,the signal-to-noise ratio of the system was obtained according to the quantum limit method,and then the relationship between the channel capacity and the geometric parameters of transmitter and receiver in non-line-of-sight noncoplanar ultraviolet communication system were simulated and analyzed by Shannon formula.The results show that the channel capacity decreases with the increase of the off axis angle and the communication distance.When the elevation angles of transmitter and receiver are less than 40°,the channel capacity decreases rapidly with the increase of the elevation angles of transmitter and receiver,and the transmitter elevation angle has a great influence on the channel capacity.The system channel capacity is almost constant with the increase of divergence angle,and the larger the receiver field of view angle,the greater the system channel capacity.…”

Les jeux de la spectature : paratextes cinématographiques des années vingt et archéologie du virtuel by Fabrice Lyczba

“…This spectatorship, revealed through publicity discourses, newspaper reports or promotional practices of 1920s cinema, is analyzed as a game, with potential hallucinatory effects, organized around the encounter of virtual worlds, worlds that are impossible yet present, unreal yet shot on real locations, ephemeral and concrete apparitions of fictional Hollywood universes that seem, however, persistent—the archeological trace of contemporary modes of virtual tele-presence. …”

Pedestrian Detection and Tracking for Counting Applications in Metro Station by Chen Yan-yan, Chen Ning, Zhou Yu-yang, Wu Ke-han, Zhang Wei-wei

“…The most challenging problem is to count pedestrians accurately in the case of not changing the position of the surveillance camera, because the view that surveillance camera uses in a metro station is always short-shot and nondirect downward view. In this view, traditional methods find it difficult to count pedestrians accurately. …”

Model-Based Graph Reinforcement Learning for Inductive Traffic Signal Control by Francois-Xavier Devailly, Denis Larocque, Laurent Charlin

“…We introduce MuJAM, an adaptive traffic signal control method which leverages model-based reinforcement learning to 1) extend recent generalization efforts (to road network architectures and traffic distributions) further by allowing a generalization to the controllers’ constraints (cyclic and acyclic policies), 2) improve performance and data efficiency over related model-free approaches, and 3) enable explicit coordination at scale for the first time. In a zero-shot transfer setting involving both road networks and traffic settings never experienced during training, and in a larger transfer experiment involving the control of 3,971 traffic signal controllers in Manhattan, we show that MuJAM, using both cyclic and acyclic constraints, outperforms domain-specific baselines as well as a recent transferable approach.…”
