Compact 3D Scene Representation via Self-Organizing Gaussian Grids
We introduce a compact scene representation organizing the parameters of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) into a 2D grid with local homogeneity, ensuring a drastic reduction in storage requirements without compromising visual quality during...
Evolution of the 5G New Radio Two-Step Random Access towards 6G Unsourced MAC
This report explores the future of grant-free random access in next-generation 3GPP wireless standards, focusing on how it aligns with the unsourced multiple access channel (UMAC) model.
SPVLoc: Semantic Panoramic Viewport Matching for 6D Camera Localization in Unseen Environments
We present SPVLoc, a global indoor localization method that accurately determines the six-dimensional (6D) camera pose of a query image and requires minimal scene-specific prior knowledge and no scene-specific training. Our approach employs a...
Experimental Dataset for Developing and Testing ML Models in Optical Communication Systems
We present here a public dataset for developing and testing ML models. The dataset is developed in a laboratory setting and includes 12672 samples including data points with different modulation formats, symbol rates, distances, WDM channel...
Time Adaptive Probabilistic Shaping for Combined Optical/THz Links
We investigate the applicability of PAS for outdoor THz wireless links in simulations with weather-dependent loss models. Link performances are evaluated and optimal shaping entropies are determined to adjust error rates to a given FEC threshold....
Causes of Outcome Learning: A causal inference-inspired machine learning approach to disentangling common combinations of potential causes of a health outcome
Nearly all diseases are caused by different combinations of exposures. We present the Causes of Outcome Learning approach (CoOL), which seeks to discover combinations of exposures that lead to an increased risk of a specific outcome in parts of...
Impact of Multi-Band Transmission on Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio Measurements
Fraunhofer HHI researchers investigate the influence error of a fixed noise bandwidth assumption (i.e., 12.5 GHz) on optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) measurements in the context of multi-band transmission and propose a correction method that...
Demonstration of a Real-Time Testbed for D-Band Integrated Sensing and Communication
The D-band, spanning 110 GHz to 170 GHz, has emerged as a relevant frequency range for future mobile communications and radar sensing applications, particularly in the context of 6G technologies. This demonstration presents a high-bandwidth,...
BTSeg: Barlow Twins Regularization for Domain Adaptation in Semantic Segmentation
We introduce BTSeg, an innovative, semi-supervised training approach enhancing semantic segmentation models in order to effectively handle a range of adverse conditions without requiring the creation of extensive new datasets. BTSeg employs a...
Dual-Polarized Sub-THz Channel Measurements in D-Band in an Industrial Environment
In this paper, we introduce a novel time domain (TD) correlation based channel sounder that operates in the D-band (110 GHz to 170 GHz) with which we performed dual-polarized sub-THz channel measurements in an industrial environment.
