Download or read book Terrain Relative Navigation for Sensor limited Systems with Application to Underwater Vehicles written by Deborah Kathleen Meduna and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) provides bounded-error localization relative to an environment by matching range measurements of local terrain against an a priori map. The environment-relative and onboard sensing characteristics of TRN make it a powerful tool for return-to-site missions in GPS-denied environments, with potential applications ranging from underwater and space robotic exploration to pedestrian indoor navigation. For many of these applications, available sensors may be limited by mission power/weight constraints, cost restrictions, and environmental effects (e.g. inability to use a magnetic compass in space). Such limitations not only degrade the accuracy of traditional navigation systems, but further impact the ability to successfully employ TRN. Consequently, despite numerous advances in TRN technology over the past several decades, the application of TRN has been restricted to systems with highly accurate and information-rich sensor systems. In addition, a limited understanding of the effects of map quality and sensor quality on TRN performance has overly restricted the types of missions for which TRN has been considered a viable navigation solution. This thesis develops two new capabilities for TRN methods, resulting in significantly increased TRN applicability. First, a tightly-coupled filtering framework is developed which enables the successful use of TRN on vehicles with both low-accuracy navigation sensors and simple, low-information range sensors. This new filtering framework has similarities to tightly-coupled integration methods for GPS-aided navigation systems. Second, a set of analysis and design tools based on the Posterior Cramer-Rao Lower Bound are developed which allow for reliable TRN performance predictions as a function of both sensor and map quality. These analyses include the development of a new terrain map error model based on the variogram which allows for performance prediction as a function of map resolution. These developed capabilities are validated through field demonstrations on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operated out of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), where available sensing has been limited primarily by cost. These trials include a real-time, closed-loop demonstration of the developed tightly-coupled TRN framework, enabling 5m accuracy return-to-site on a sensor-limited AUV where traditional TRN methods failed to provide better than 150m accuracy. The results further demonstrate the accurate prediction capability of the developed performance bounds on fielded systems, verifying their utility as design and planning tools for future TRN missions.

Download or read book Handbook of Low and High Dielectric Constant Materials and Their Applications Two Volume Set written by Hari Singh Nalwa and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-09-07 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in microelectronics technologies have created a great demand for interlayer dielectric materials with a very low dielectric constant. They will play a crucial role in the future generation of IC devices (VLSI/UISI and high speed IC packaging). Considerable efforts have been made to develop new low as well as high dielectric constant materials for applications in electronics industries. Besides achieving either low or high dielectric constants, other materials' properties such as good processability, high mechanical strength, high thermal and environmental stability, low thermal expansion, low current leakage, low moisture absorption, corrosion resistant, etc., are of equal importance. Many chemical and physical strategies have been employed to get desired dielectric materials with high performance. This is a rapidly growing field of science--both in novel materials and their applications to future packing technologies. The experimental data on inorganic and organic materials having low or high dielectric constant remail scattered in the literature. It is timely, therfore, to consolidate the current knowledge on low and high dielectric constant materials into a sigle reference source. Handbook of Low and High Dielectric Constant Materials and Their Applications is aimed at bringing together under a sigle cover (in two volumes) all low and high dielectric constant materials currently studied in academic and industrial research covering all spects of inorgani an organic materials from their synthetic chemistry, processing techniques, physics, structure-property relationship to applications in IC devices. This book will summarize the current status of the field covering important scientific developments made over the past decade with contributions from internationally recognized experts from all over the world. Fully cross-referenced, this book has clear, precise, and wide appeal as an essential reference source for all those interested in low and high dielectric constant material.

Download or read book Experimental Acoustic Inversion Methods for Exploration of the Shallow Water Environment written by Andrea Caiti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, research on acoustic remote sensing of the ocean has evolved considerably, especially in studying complex physical and biological processes in shallow water environments. To review the state of the art, an international workshop was held at Carvoeiro, Portugal, in March 1999, bringing together leading international researchers in the field. In contrast to much of the recent theoretical work, emphasis was placed on the experimental validation of the techniques. This volume, based on presentations at this workshop, summarizes a range of diverse and innovative applications. The invited contributions explore the use of acoustics to measure bottom properties and morphology, as well as to probe buried objects within the sediment. Within the water column, sound is applied to imaging of oceanographic features such as currents and tides or monitoring of marine life. Another key theme is the use of sound to solve geometric inverse problems for precise tracking of undersea vehicles. Audience: This volume should be useful both to the novice seeking an introduction to the field and to advanced researchers interested in the latest developments in acoustic sensing of the ocean environment. The workshop was sponsored by the Fundação para a Ciêcia e a Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology).
