UWB radar sensor networks: Detection algorithms design and experimental analysis

In the last years radar sensor networks for localization and tracking in indoor environment have generated more and more interest, especially for anti-intrusion security systems. These networks often use Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, which consists in sending very short (few nanoseconds) impulse signals. This approach guarantees high resolution and accuracy and also other advantages such as low price, low power consumption and narrow-band interference (jamming) robustness. In this thesis the overall data processing (done in MATLAB environment) is discussed, starting from experimental measures from sensor devices, ending with the 2D visualization of targets movements over time and focusing mainly on detection and localization algorithms. Moreover, two different scenarios and both single and multiple target tracking are analyzed.

The road to augmented reality: a comprehensive study of hardware and applications over the last ten years

Augmented reality has been growing extensively over the years in all aspects and multiple fields. My aim in this paper is to present a comprehensive study on augmented reality(AR) hardware and its applications from early developments to the possible future trends. Particularly my research is more focused on last 11 years(2012-2022), where I systematically reviewed 30 research papers per year to get a clear knowledge on trends of AR. A total of 330 publications were reviewed and grouped according to their application. The review's main contribution is to show the entire landscape of AR research and to provide a broad view of how it has evolved. Along with various AR glasses history and specifications are presented in detail. In the penultimate chapter I explained my methodology of research following my analysis from the past to the present along with my thoughts for the future. To conclude my study, In the final chapter I made some statements about possible future with AR, VR and XR(extended reality).
