Enhancement of Localization Systems in NLOS Urban Scenario with Multipath Ray Tracing Fingerprints and Machine Learning
摘要： A hybrid technique is proposed to enhance the localization performance of a time difference of arrival (TDOA) deployed in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) suburban scenario. The idea was to use Machine Learning framework on the dataset, produced by the ray tracing simulation, and the Channel Impulse Response estimation from the real signal received by each sensor. Conventional localization techniques mitigate errors trying to avoid NLOS measurements in processing emitter position, while the proposed method uses the multipath fingerprint information produced by ray tracing (RT) simulation together with calibration emitters to refine a Machine Learning engine, which gives an extra layer of information to improve the emitter position estimation. The ray-tracing fingerprints perform the target localization embedding all the reflection and diffraction in the propagation scenario. A validation campaign was performed and showed the feasibility of the proposed method, provided that the buildings can be appropriately included in the scenario description.

[Institution of Engineering and Technology 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018) - London, UK (9-13 April 2018)] 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018) - Hybrid Physical Optics-Ray Tracing Method for the RCS Calculation of Electrically Large Objects Covered with Radar Absorbing Materials
摘要： A hybrid method based on Ray Tracing and Physical Optics for the estimation of the radar cross section of large metallic targets covered with radar absorbing materials is presented. The reflection coefficient of the multilayer structure composed by the metallic layer covered with radar absorbing materials is analytically evaluated through a transmission line model. The accuracy of the Radar Cross Section estimation is validated by full-wave simulations based on the Method of Moments. A corner reflector coated with Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) is used as a test-case of the proposed method. The obtained results exhibit a good agreement if compared against full-wave simulations.

DukeSim: A realistic, rapid, and scanner-specific simulation framework in computed tomography
摘要： The purpose of this study was to develop a CT simulation platform that is 1) compatible with voxel-based computational phantoms, 2) capable of modeling the geometry and physics of commercial CT scanners, and 3) computationally efficient. Such a simulation platform is designed to enable the virtual evaluation and optimization of CT protocols and parameters for achieving a targeted image quality while reducing radiation dose. Given a voxelized computational phantom and a parameter file describing the desired scanner and protocol, the developed platform DukeSim calculates projection images using a combination of ray-tracing and Monte Carlo techniques. DukeSim includes detailed models for the detector quantum efficiency, quantum and electronic noise, detector crosstalk, subsampling of the detector and focal spot areas, focal spot wobbling, and the bowtie filter. DukeSim was accelerated using GPU computing. The platform was validated using physical and computational versions of a phantom (Mercury phantom). Clinical and simulated CT scans of the phantom were acquired at multiple dose levels using a commercial CT scanner (Somatom Definition Flash; Siemens Healthcare). The real and simulated images were compared in terms of image contrast, noise magnitude, noise texture, and spatial resolution. The relative error between the clinical and simulated images was less than 1.4%, 0.5%, 2.6%, and 3%, for image contrast, noise magnitude, noise texture, and spatial resolution, respectively, demonstrating the high realism of DukeSim. The runtime, dependent on the imaging task and the hardware, was approximately 2-3 minutes per rotation in our study using a computer with 4 GPUs. DukeSim, when combined with realistic human phantoms, provides the necessary toolset with which to perform large-scale and realistic virtual clinical trials in a patient and scanner-specific manner.

RECTANGULAR WAVE BEAM BASED GO/PO METHOD FOR RCS SIMULATION OF COMPLEX TARGET
摘要： The rectangular wave beams-based geometrical optics (GO) and physical optics (PO) hybrid method is applied to the radar cross section (RCS) simulation of complex target. In the implementation process, the incident wave beam is divided into plenty of regular rectangular wave beams. The RCS of target is subsequently harvested from the sum of the contributions from rectangular wave beams. And Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is used to accelerate ray tracing for the GO/PO method. Here, each pixel corresponds to a rectangular wave beam, which improves the defect that the pixel number should be larger than the patch number on the model and the e?ciency in the general OpenGL based GO/PO method. In addition, the patch size in the presented method can be arbitrary as long as the model is described accurately with these patches. The simulation results prove this point and show that the proposed rectangular wave beam-based GO/PO method is feasible and can keep a high calculation accuracy and e?ciency with a low pixel number.

Forward projection matrix derivation through Monte-Carlo ray-tracing of KSTAR infra-red imaging video bolometer (IRVB)
摘要： The infrared imaging video bolometer (IRVB) as a foil bolometry technique can be an alternative solution to the conventional resistive bolometer due to its electro-magnetic immunity and 2D plasma profiles. The plasma profile of the IRVB cannot be directly derived from the foil images due to the difference between the foil pixel number and the plasma pixel number and the line integrated nature of the incident rays on the foil. So, it needs tomography such as the Phillips-Thikhonov algorithm. The projection matrix constructing the foil image from the plasma very directly influences the tomography. So, the projection matrix needs to be constructed precisely. For the technique calculating the precise projection matrix, a forward Monte-Carlo ray-tracing method is proposed here, and this technique can provide the detailed descriptions of the foil image. And it can give enhanced performance in the reconstructions of the plasmas with spatially localized power.
