Target Classification by mmWave FMCW Radars using Machine Learning on Range-Angle Images
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this paper, we present a novel multiclass-target classification method for mmWave frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar operating in the frequency range of 77 - 81 GHz, based on custom range-angle heatmaps ... -
Robust output feedback control of non-collocated low-damped oscillating load
(Chapter, 2021)For systems with order of dynamics higher than two and oscillating loads with low damping, a non-collocation of the sensing and control can deteriorate robustness of the feedback and, in worst case, even bring it to ... -
Preliminary Results on Condition Monitoring of Fiber Ropes using Automatic Width and Discrete Length Measurements
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)As the offshore sector moves to deeper waters, fiber ropes have the potential to replace more traditional solutions such as steel wire ropes for deep sea lifting and heave-compensated operations. While steel wire ropes ... -
Hybrid Position/Force Control for Hydraulic Actuators
(Chapter, 2020)In this paper a novel hybrid position/force control with autonomous switching between both control modes is introduced for hydraulic actuators. A hybrid position/force control structure with feed-forwarding, full-state ... -
Rate-Splitting Random Access Mechanism for Massive Machine Type Communications in 5G Cellular Internet-of-Things
(Chapter, 2021)The cellular Internet-of-Things has resulted in the deployment of millions of machine type communication (MTC) devices under the coverage of a single gNodeB (gNB). These massive number of devices should connect to the ... -
Stability Analysis of a Linear Parameter Varying Adaptive Output Feedback Control System
(Chapter, 2021)Output feedback control systems often require an adaptive filter for properly shaping the loop transfer function, as certain system plant parameters may be uncertain or varying. This renders the overall closed loop to a ... -
Exploring freshwater challenges for conservation efforts: Insights into threatened and invasive fish species using environmental DNA
(Doctoral dissertations at University of Agder;no. 490, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Ferskvannsøkosystemer trues av habitatendringer, menneskeskapte barrierer, fremmede arter, forurensning, overfiske og klimaendringer. Selv om internasjonale lover og forskrifter støtter bevaring, kreves det fortsatt betydelig ... -
Effect of Data from Neighbouring Regions to Forecast Dengue Incidences in Different Regions of Philippines Using Artificial Neural Networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Disease outbreaks forecasting is a vital component in public-health resource planning and emergency preparedness. However, the existing procedures have limitations due to the lack of analytical knowledge about spatiotemporal ... -
One-parameter robust global frequency estimator for slow-varying amplitude and noisy oscillations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Robust online estimation of oscillation frequency belongs to classical problems of system identification and adaptive control. The given harmonic signal can be noisy and with varying amplitude at the same time, as in the ... -
Quantization Analysis and Robust Design for Distributed Graph Filters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Distributed graph filters have recently found appli- cations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to solve distributed tasks such as reaching consensus, signal denoising, and recon- struction. However, when implemented over ... -
Fully Automated Diagnostics of Induction Motor Drives in Offshore Wind Turbine Pitch Systems Using Extended Park Vector Transform and Convolutional Neural Network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Due to their location and related complexities, the offshore wind farms (OWF) have higher downtimes and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs compared to their onshore counterparts. Condition monitoring could help in ... -
