Structure and Motion Estimation in Rigid Body Perspective Dynamic Systems

Abstract This thesis concerns different aspects of recursive estimation of structure and motion in dynamic rigid body perspective systems, where the three-dimensional position of observed object feature points are expressed as states in a system of deterministic or stochastic differential equations describing the object motion, combined with a set of output equations in the form of two-dimensional

The Nature of Science-Based Controversies

The Nature of Science-based Controversies. The following points will be presented: 1. Political and epistemological reasons for studying science-based controversies. 2. Controversies as conflicts between rival professional groups and incommensurable systems of ideas. 3. Results and discoveries emanating from case studies of science-based controversies: four examples. 4. Towards a theory of sci

Why Grundnorm? A Treatise on the Implications of Kelsen's Doctrine

The treatise is concerned with the source-—the “Grund”--of the bindingness of law. I contend, first, that the “presupposition” of the basic norm, on a certain reading of Kelsen’s doctrine, can be understood as constituting a normative source of positive law, and, secondly, that this reading of Kelsen admits of addressing the issue of the (formal) legitimacy of supra-national and “directly applicab

Physical bounds on the antenna scattering matrix

The antenna scattering matrix is based on a spherical vector wave expansion and contains a complete description of the matching, transmission, receiving, and scattering properties of an antenna. It is commonly utilized in near-field measurements and it can also be used to model MIMO antennas. Here, an approach based on the holomorphic properties of the antenna scattering matrix is used to derive p
