Wisler, Alan. (Arizona State University), “Graph-based Estimation of Information Divergence Functions” (2017)

Wisler, Alan. (Arizona State University), “Graph-based Estimation of Information Divergence Functions” (2017) Advisor: Berisha, Visar and Spanias, Andreas Information divergence functions, such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence or the Hellinger distance, play a critical role in statistical signal processing and information theory; however estimating them can be challenge. Most often, parametric assumptions are made about the two distributions to estimate the divergence of interest.

Recent Patents in Signal Processing (March 2017) – Iris biometrics

For our March 2017 issue, we cover recent patents dealing with iris biometrics, including sensor development, prosthetic iris preparation, camera and illumination settings and signal processing algorithms. In patent no 9,530,052, the sensor adaptation technique applicable to non-contact biometric authentication, specifically in iris recognition, is designe

An Open Source Self-Driving Car

Udacity formed their core Self-Driving Car Team, together with Google Self-Driving Car founder and Udacity President Sebastian Thrun. Now, the online education company is building an open source self-driving car as part of its effort to offer its self-driving car nanodegree program. The problem of making the car autonomous is broken down into several challenges.
