Ranging from the theoretical basis of UWB sensors via implementation issues to
applications, this much-needed book bridges the gap between designers and appliers …

In situations where the environment is filled with dust or smoke, like in many emergency
scenarios, it is still possible to sense the surrounding and build maps by using ultra …

A system for building a feature-based map of an unknown indoor environment is proposed.
We consider emergency scenarios where smoke and dust block the vision so that camera …

The specific advantages of ultra-wideband electromagnetic remote sensing (UWB radar)
make it a particularly attractive technique for biomedical applications. We partially review our …

The exploitation of electromagnetic interaction with matter specifically with organic tissues is
a powerful method to extract information about the state of biological objects in a fast …

Speech sensing is presented as a novel application of ultrawideband (UWB) technology,
possibly improving synthetic speech and speech pathology and allowing silent speech …

Biomedical applications of ultra-wideband radar promise a very important means to remotely
characterise tissues and organs. The acquisition of such physiological signatures requires …

Electromagnetic waves can propagate through the body and are reflected at interfaces
between materials with different dielectric properties. Therefore the reason for using …

In environments where optical sensors are not working or not sufficient, ultra-wideband
(UWB) radar is an alternative technology for localization, mapping and object recognition …

Due to its high appreciation for medical diagnostics worldwide, recent developments in
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aim at adding the capability of creating focused images …
