Application of Laser Systems for Detection and Ranging in the Modern Road Transportation and Maritime Sector
The development of light detection and ranging (lidar) technology began in the 1960s, following the invention of the laser, which represents the central component of this system, integrating laser scanning with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and Global Positioning System (GPS). Lidar technology is spreading to many different areas of application, from those in autonomous […]
Neural Natural Language Generation: A Survey on Multilinguality, Multimodality, Controllability and Learning
Developing artificial learning systems that can understand and generate natural language has been one of the long-standing goals of artificial intelligence. Recent decades have witnessed an impressive progress on both of these problems, giving rise to a new family of approaches. Especially, the advances in deep learning over the past couple of years have led […]
Entropy-Based Concentration and Instantaneous Frequency of TFDs from Cohen’s, Affine, and Reassigned Classes
This paper explores three groups of time–frequency distributions: the Cohen’s, affine, and reassigned classes of time–frequency representations (TFRs). This study provides detailed insight into the theory behind the selected TFRs belonging to these classes. Extensive numerical simulations were performed with examples that illustrate the behavior of the analyzed TFR classes in the joint time–frequency domain. […]

The Choice of Time–Frequency Representations of Non-Stationary Signals Affects Machine Learning Model Accuracy: A Case Study on Earthquake Detection from LEN-DB Data
Non-stationary signals are often analyzed using raw waveform data or spectrograms of those data; however, the possibility of alternative time–frequency representations being more informative than the original data or spectrograms is yet to be investigated. This paper tested whether alternative time–frequency representations could be more informative for machine learning classification of seismological data. The mentioned […]
Improved Parametrized Multiple Window Spectrogram with Application in Ship Navigation Systems
In analyzing non-stationary noisy signals with time-varying frequency content, it’s convenient to use distribution methods in joint, time and frequency, domains. Besides different adaptive data-driven time-frequency (TF) representations, the approach with multiple orthogonal and optimally concentrated Hermite window functions is an effective solution to achieve a good trade-off between low variance and minimized stable bias […]
BlueNavi: A Microservices Architecture-Styled Platform Providing Maritime Information
Traditional methods of marine navigation are undergoing a revolution brought about by the almost universal adoption of the Automatic Identification System (AIS). AIS exchanges a wealth of navigational information among vessels and between ships to shore through Very High Frequency (VHF). With AIS data integrated into the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), the […]
