Added value of multitemporal polarimetric UAVSAR data for permanent scatterers detection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-05)In the last decades, differential synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometric (InSAR) (DInSAR) techniques have been used to estimate the Earth's surface deformation with high resolution. In this paper, we present an approach for increasing the quantity of permanent scattered pixels. These pixels are selected for DInSAR processing based on polarimetric information prepared by new sensors. The ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-16)The effects of both system additive and multiplicative noise on the X-, C-, and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data covering oil slicks are examined. Prior studies have attempted to characterize such oil slicks, primarily through analysis of polarimetric SAR data. In this article, we factor in system noise that is added to the backscattered signal, introducing artifacts that can easily be ... -
Sampling moiré method: a tool for sensing quadratic phase distortion and its correction for accurate quantitative phase microscopy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-24)The advantages of quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) such as label-free imaging with high spatial sensitivity, live cell compatibility and high-speed imaging makes it viable for various biological applications. The measurement accuracy of QPM strongly relies on the shape of the recorded interferograms, whether straight or curved fringes are recorded during the data acquisition. Moreover, for a ... -
Automatic fringe pattern enhancement using truly adaptive period-guided bidimensional empirical mode decomposition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-19)Fringe patterns encode the information about the result of a measurement performed via widely used optical full-field testing methods, e.g., interferometry, digital holographic microscopy, moiré techniques, structured illumination etc. Affected by the optical setup, changing environment and the sample itself fringe patterns are often corrupted with substantial noise, strong and uneven background ... -
Sub-nanometer height sensitivity by phase shifting interference microscopy under environmental fluctuations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Phase shifting interferometric (PSI) techniques are among the most sensitive phase measurement methods. Owing to its high sensitivity, any minute phase change caused due to environmental instability results into, inaccurate phase measurement. Consequently, a well calibrated piezo electric transducer (PZT) and highly-stable environment is mandatory for measuring accurate phase map using PSI implementation. ... -

Exploring the temporal variation of the solar quadrupole moment from relativistic gravitation contributions: A fortuitous circumstance?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-08)Due to its oblateness, the Sun carries a solar quadrupole moment playing a key role at the crossroad of fundamental solar physics, astrometry and celestial mechanics. There is nowadays a general agreement on its order of magnitude ( ≈2×10-7 ), but its temporal dependence is still poorly known. Helioseismology led to a variation within the solar cycle by less than 0.04%, not yet ... -
Radio occultation observations of the solar corona over 1.60-1.86R⊙: Faraday rotation and frequency-shift analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-02)The study of coronal energy transport, central to the solar wind acceleration problem, relies upon accurate representation of magnetic fields and plasma electron densities. This information is difficult to obtain in middle‐to‐lower coronal regions that may contain complex magnetic structures. Faraday rotation (FR) solar radio occultation observations, which reveal line‐of‐sight (LOS) integrated ... -
Learning representations of multivariate time series with missing data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-19)Learning compressed representations of multivariate time series (MTS) facilitates data analysis in the presence of noise and redundant information, and for a large number of variates and time steps. However, classical dimensionality reduction approaches are designed for vectorial data and cannot deal explicitly with missing values. In this work, we propose a novel autoencoder architecture based on ... -
Automatic generation of fill-in-the-blank question with corpus-based distractors for e-assessment to enhance learning

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-17)Large fields of view (FOVs) in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) via waveguides have been shown to be highly beneficial for single molecule localisation microscopy on fixed cells [1,2] and have also been demonstrated for short‐term live‐imaging of robust cell types [3‐5], but not yet for delicate primary neurons nor over extended periods of time. Here, we present a waveguide‐based ... -
Beyond the grid: The promise of solar concentration for non-electrical energy generation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)As electricity from both photovoltaics and concentrating solar power has become dramatically more affordable in the last several years, the prospect of converting entire national electrical grids to run almost entirely on renewable energy has become feasible in any location with a strong solar resource. However, focusing only on the electric grid neglects the large portion of our energy usage which ... -
