(English) The increase of wireless devices offering high data rate services limits the coexistence of wireless systems sharing the same resources in a given geographical area because of inter-system interference. Therefore, ...
Esta tesis constituye un estudio detallado y exhaustivo de las propiedades de una variedad específica de ondas ópticas solitarias. Observadas experimentalmente por primera vez en 1995, estas ondas estan formadas por un ...
Energy and transportation sectors are going through major changes as a result of technological advances, depletion of fossil fuels and climate change. With regard to the energy sector, the future smart grid is expected to ...
This Ph.D. thesis dissertation addresses multi-resolution image decomposition, a key issue in signal processing that in recent years has contributed to the emergence of the JPEG2000 image compression standard. JPEG2000 ...
Optical access technology has experienced a boost in the last years, thanks to the continuously migrating multimedia services that are offered over the internet. Though the technologies used for deploying Fiber-To-The-x ...
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the ability of sensor nodes to know its position is an enabler for a wide variety of applications for monitoring, control, and automation. Often, sensor data is meaningful only if its ...
En aquest treball s'estudia el problema de la compressió de video utilitzant funcionalitats basades en el contingut en el marc teòric dels sistemes de codificació de seqüències de video basats en regions. Es tracten ...
(English) Handling the tsunami of multimedia content is a big challenge for heterogeneous cellular networks. Serving large volumes of content from the central system to end-users, through a bandwidth-limited network, at ...
Space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems have demonstrated great effectiveness to survey wide areas, independently of the weather conditions and the day/night cycle. One of the most exploited applications is ...
Recently, facial recognition systems have become extremely popular and deployments of this technology are now ubiquitous. Applications ranging from access control to automated surveillance of video feeds rely on facial ...
Foreground segmentation in video sequences is an important area of the image processing that attracts great interest among the scientist community, since it makes possible the detection of the objects that appear in the ...
This thesis addresses the problem of visual object retrieval, where a user formulates a query to an image database by providing one or multiple examples of an object of interest. The presented techniques aim both at finding ...
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is an Earth Explorer Opportunity mission from the European Space Agency (ESA). It was a direct response to the global observations of soil moisture and ocean salinity. ...
Los canales multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) proporcionan una forma abstracta y general de modelar un gran número de sistemas de comunicaciones. Los canales MIMO inalámbricos, en concreto, han despertado un gran interés ...
Precise phase synchronization of clock or local oscillator signals over distributed systems is a recurring requirement in the design of a wide range of systems, with applications in telecommunications and, for example, in ...
It would be unaffordable if the WDM-PON technologies were directly applied for massive deployment. Hence, the potential WDM-PON is to be integrated and improved in order to adapt it for NGPON and the future 5G. The UDWDM-PON ...
In the next era of communications, where heterogeneous, asynchronous and ultra-low latency networks are drawn on the horizon, classical cryptography might be inadequate due to the excessive cost of maintaining a public-key ...
Las técnicas de Interferometría Diferencial se basan en la combinación de varias imágenes SAR con distinta separación temporal y permiten la recuperación de las componentes lineales y no-lineales del proceso de deformación ...
Radiocommunication systems have evolved significantly in recent years in order to meet present and future demands. Historically, time, frequency and more recently, spatial dimensions have been used to improve capacity and ...
In the recent years, a wide interest has been focused on research and development for the operational use of satellite remote sensing tools for Earth observation. Among different types of sensors, Synthetic Aperture Radars ...
