Robust UWB Positioning System Using Switching Tracking Filters With Estimated States-Based Non-Line-of-Sight Classifier

We present a novel UWB-based positioning system that incorporates a deep learning-based non-line-of-sight (NLOS) classifier and a switching tracking filter.Unlike conventional methods, the proposed classifier determines whether a measured distance was obtained under LOS or NLOS conditions by using not only the channel impulse response Metalwear (CI

Application of M5 algorithm of decision tree in simulation and investigation of effective factors of erosion in rangelands and forests

Interrill erosion is the process of soil erosion that occurs on small, un-vegetated areas between ridges or furrows caused by raindrops falling on sloped land.The impact of raindrops can cause the soil to detach and be carried away by runoff.Interrill erosion can be a significant contributor to overall soil erosion and is considered a problem in ag
