Radar imager for Mars’ subsurface experiment—RIMFAX
(2020-11-03)The Radar Imager for Mars’ Subsurface Experiment (RIMFAX) is a Ground Penetrating Radar on the Mars 2020 mission’s Perseverance rover, which is planned to land near a deltaic landform in Jezero crater. RIMFAX will add a ... -
Spectral reflectance and transmission properties of a multi-layered camouflage net: Comparison with natural birch leaves and mathematical models
(2020-09-20)With improved specifications and capabilities of modern sensors and detectors, concealment is an increasingly challenging endeavor. Concealment from modern sensors requires advanced camouflage material that can provide low ... -
In-operation calibration of clock-bias and intrinsic parameters for pan-tilt-zoom cameras based on keypoint tracking
(2020-09-20)We propose a method for jointly estimating intrinsic calibration and internal clock synchronisation for a pantilt- zoom (PTZ) camera using only data that can be acquired in the field during normal operation. Results show ... -
Infrastructure monitoring using SAR and multispectral multitemporal images.
(2020-09-20)The main objective of this study is to investigate suitable approaches to monitor the land infrastructure growth over a period of time using multimodality of remote sensing satellite images. Bi-temporal change detection ... -
Particle-resolved simulations of shock-induced flow through particle clouds at different Reynolds numbers
(2020-01-27)This study investigates the Reynolds-number dependence of shock-induced flow through stationary particle clouds at 10% volume fraction, using ensemble-averaged results from three-dimensional particle-resolved large eddy ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator species for studies on effects of dumped chemical warfare agents in the Skagerrak. 2. Biochemical biomarkers
(2020)The sea bottom of the Skagerrak Strait (North Sea) contains munitions loaded with chemical warfare agents (CWA), mostly stored in shipwrecks scuttled intentionally after the end of the World War II. The munition shells ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator for studies on effect of dumped chemical warfare agents in Skagerrak. 1: Liver histopathology.
(2020)Within the framework of the international project DAIMON (Decision Aid for Marine Munitions), the impact of dumped chemical munitions on fish health was investigated. The Skagerrak Straight (North Sea, at 600 m depth) ... -
Training of Neural Network Target Detectors Mentored by SO-CFAR
(2020)A desirable objective in radar detection theory is the ability to detect and recognize targets in intricate scenarios such as in the presence of clutter or multiple closely spaced targets. Herein we propose the use of ... -
A 3D reactive collision avoidance algorithm for underactuated underwater vehicles
(2020-02-28)Avoiding collisions is an essential goal of the control system of autonomous vehicles. This paper presents a reactive algorithm for avoiding obstacles in a three‐dimensional space, and shows how the algorithm can be applied ... -
Leakage rate of the nerve agent tabun from sea-dumped munition
(2020-10)The leakage rate of nerve agents from corroded munition on the sea floor has been estimated by using table sugar as a simulant for the nerve agent tabun. Laboratory experiments were conducted with a full-size model of a ... -
Improved Passivation Effect Due to Controlled Smoothing of the CdTe-HgCdTe Interface Gradient by Thermal Annealing
(2019-07-11)HgCdTe films grown by liquid phase epitaxy were passivated with CdTe grown by molecular beam epitaxy. A series of annealing tests with different temperatures and durations were then carried out in order to reach a two-fold ... -
Assessment of intake of copper and lead by sheep grazing on a shooting range for small arms: a case study.
(2018-04-11)The Norwegian Armed Forces’ shooting ranges contain contamination by metals such as lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) and are often used as grazing pastures for livestock. To determine whether the sheep were at risk from grazing ... -
Imaging ground sensor system OPAK
(2003-09-18)Architecture and technology of imaging intrusion detection sensor OPAK are presented. Applications and desired features for IDS and UGS are compared. Started developments of OPAK towards an unattended ground sensor system ... -
Characterization of (111)B and (211)B CdZnTe Substrates for HgCdTe Growth
(2019-06-13)We have studied state-of-the-art CdZnTe (211)B and (111)B substrates and compared them to each other and to substrates from an alternative vendor. The CdZnTe surface has been characterized both as-received and after growth ... -
Classification based on fast and robust approximations to order statistics
(2020-04-22)A test system with four cameras in the infrared and visual spectra is under development at FFI (The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment). The system may be mounted on a jet aircraft or may be used in a land-based ... -
Robustness of adversarial camouflage (AC) for naval vessels
(2020-04-24)Different types of imaging sensors are frequently employed for detection, tracking and classification of naval vessels. A number of countermeasure techniques are currently employed against such sensors, and with the advent ... -
Investigating robustness of adversarial camouflage (AC) for naval vessels
(2020-09-20)The use of camouflage is widespread in the biological domain, and has also been used extensively by armed forces around the world in order to make visual detection and classification of objects of military interest ... -
Comparison of synthetic aperture sonar images and optical images of UXOs from the Skagerrak chemical munitions dumpsite
(2019-11-28)After World War II chemical munitions were loaded onto large ships and sunk in the Skagerrak Strait in the Norwegian trench, in deep waters between Norway and Denmark. In collaboration with the Norwegian Coastal Administration, ...
