This research explored the use of deep learning to classify impact events on wind turbine blades using spectrogram images. Audio data were recorded through indoor and outdoor simulations using smartphones. The data preparation process involved converting stereo recordings to mono, applying downcasting …

Light intensity and spectral composition notably impact the human circadian rhythm. The human body is a physiological system that regulates its sleep-awake cycle through a constant rhythm of light and darkness. For a long time, the lighting research field has been concerned with understanding this circadian …

The Brains4Buildings project aims to develop methods to design new smart building climate management systems that, among other things, reduce energy consumption, increase comfort and respond flexibly to user behavior. We set out to develop design guidelines to help B4B stakeholders when designing innovative …

This study presents a methodology designed to optimize various parameters of each access point within a Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The primary objective is to enhance both power and spectral efficiencies. A MISO-VLC model is presented based on experimental …

''On February 6th, 2023, two severe earthquakes struck southeastern Türkiye near the Syrian border. The first earthquake, Mw7.8, occurred at 04:17 local time in the East Anatolian Fault Zone near the city of Gaziantep. The second earthquake, Mw7.5, occurred approximately 9 h later at 13:24 local time …

Spectral imaging has many applications, from methane detection using satellites to disease detection on crops. However, spectral cameras remain a costly solution ranging from 10 thousand to 100 thousand euros for the hardware alone. Here, we present a low-cost multispectral camera (LC-MSC) with 64 LEDs …

In this paper, we experimentally compare orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and on-off keying (OOK) modulation in the context of the IEEE 802.15.13-2023 standard at bandwidths up to 50 MHz across a Li-Fi link with distances up to 5 m and a lateral offset up to 51°. Error vector magnitude …

Lichtvervuiling is mogelijk een van de oorzaken van de afname van de motten populaties. Eerder onderzoek op motten heeft al negatieve effecten aangetoond. Licht met lange golflengten heeft vaak een significant kleiner negatief effect dan licht met korte golflengten. Deze onderzoeken zijn niet uitgevoerd …

In this paper, artificial intelligence tools are implemented in order to predict trajectory positions, as well as channel performance of an optical wireless communications link. Case studies for industrial scenarios are considered to this aim. In a first stage, system parameters are optimized using a …

The nonlinearity induced by light-emitting diodes in visible light communication (VLC) systems presents a challenge to the parametrization of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The goal of the multi-objective optimization problem presented in this study is to maximize the transmitted …
