Inference for large-scale time series with application to sensor fusion
Large-scale time series analysis is performed by a new statistical tool that is superior to other estimators of complex state-space models. The identified stochastic dependences can be used for sensor fusion by Bayesian (e.g. Kalman) filtering or for studying changes in natural/biological phenomena.
Estimation methods
The students treat observations affected by uncertainty in a rigorous manner. They master the main methods to adjust measurements and to estimate parameters. They apply specific models to real-world problems encountered in various experimental sciences.
Sensing and spatial modeling for earth observation
The course is organized in three main parts.
1. 3D reconstruction from images
- Processes of image creation
- Image matching, orientation and camera calibration
- Construction of digital elevation models (DEM) and orthophotos
- Extracting features from elevation or image data
- Pred
Robotics practicals
The goal of this lab series is to practice the various theoretical frameworks acquired in the courses on a variety of robots, ranging from industrial robots to autonomous mobile robots, to robotic devices, all the way to interactive robots.
