We observed the target (V = 11.3, R = 11.2) and two brighter comparison stars (V = 9.8 and V = 11.0) simultaneously in multi-object mode for 5.4 and 5.8 hours each night, allowing several hours either side of transit given the 3.1 hour transit duration. Conditions were not photometric for the duration of either night, and the observations were degraded due to variable cloud cover. This was considerably worse for the first transit, and we discuss the implications of this later. Observations used the R400 grism + OG515 filter with a central wavelength of 725 nm in 2×2 binning. The dispersion is 0.14 nm per (binned) pixel, giving wavelength coverage from about 510–930 nm. Similarly to Gibson et al. (2013), we read out only three regions of interest including the target and the two comparison stars to reduce the readout time to 11.5 seconds. For the first transit, exposure times started at 30 seconds and were reduced to 24 seconds towards the end of the observations to account for varying conditions, allowing for 482 exposures. For the second transit, owing to more stable conditions, the exposure times were kept at 25 seconds (except the first few exposures), resulting in 552 exposures. To minimise slit losses we created a mask with slits of 30′′ length and 15′′ width for the three stars designed using a pre-image taken with GMOS, giving seeing limited (therefore variable) resolution ranging from R≈650–1300 at 725 nm. Fig. 1 shows the pre-image of the field with the approximate positions of the slits marked. Immediately before and after the observations, standard calibrations were taken consisting of flat fields and arc lamp exposures. A calibration mask was also constructed using narrower 1′′ slits at the same positions. Arcs were taken with the calibration mask, and flat fields were obtained with both the science and calibration mask. Data were reduced using the same procedure as Gibson et al. (2013), with the standard GMOS pipeline contained...

  • ...(2011), and the R and I filters given in the tables of Claret (2004) using stellar parameters from the discovery paper, although we do not attempt a detailed calculation for the effective passband or the spectroscopic light curves. We note that the transit depth (and therefore planet radius) reported in Hartman et al. (2011) is perhaps diluted by the contaminant star. This will dilute the transit depth by a factor of (1 + q), where q is the ratio of the flux from the target and contaminant star in a particular passband. The transit parameters were inferred from i, z and g bands, and we caution that the HAT-P-32b’s radius could be marginally larger than that reported in Hartman et al. (2011), depending on the apertures used for the photometry and the relative contribution to the final parameters of each of the light curves. Using the distributions from the MCMC chains, we calculate further system parameters for HAT-P-32, also reported in Tab. 1. Where the distributions were not available, we generated draws from normal distributions from the values reported in the literature and combined them with those inferred from the MCMC chains. This included the stellar mass and radius (M? and R?) and the planetary mass (Mp). We calculated values for the transit duration (T14), inclination (i), planet radius (Rp), planet density (ρp), log surface gravity (log gp), and the equilibrium temperature (Tp). Again, these distributions are consistent with the results of Hartman et al. (2011)....

TL;DR: A factor-graph-based approach to joint channel-estimation-and-decoding (JCED) of bit-interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BICM-OFDM) is proposed, capable of exploiting not only sparsity in sampled channel taps but also clustering among the large taps, behaviors which are known to manifest at larger communication bandwidths.
Abstract: We propose a factor-graph-based approach to joint channel-estimation-and-decoding (JCED) of bit-interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BICM-OFDM). In contrast to existing designs, ours is capable of exploiting not only sparsity in sampled channel taps but also clustering among the large taps, behaviors which are known to manifest at larger communication bandwidths. In order to exploit these channel-tap structures, we adopt a two-state Gaussian mixture prior in conjunction with a Markov model on the hidden state. For loopy belief propagation, we exploit a “generalized approximate message passing” (GAMP) algorithm recently developed in the context of compressed sensing, and show that it can be successfully coupled with soft-input soft-output decoding, as well as hidden Markov inference, through the standard sum-product framework. For N subcarriers and any channel length L<;N, the resulting JCED-GAMP scheme has a computational complexity of only O(N log2 N +N|S|), where |S| is the constellation size. Numerical experiments using IEEE 802.15.4a channels show that our scheme yields BER performance within 1 dB of the known-channel bound and 3-4 dB better than soft equalization based on LMMSE and LASSO.

TL;DR: The MAGIC system is now under consideration by the CIS for operational use and was tested on 20 ground truthed dual polarization RADARSAT-2 scenes of the Beaufort Sea containing a variety of ice types and water patterns across melt, summer, and freeze-up periods.
Abstract: Mapping ice and open water in ocean bodies is important for numerous purposes, including environmental analysis and ship navigation. The Canadian Ice Service (CIS) has stipulated a need for an automated ice-water discrimination algorithm using dual polarization images produced by RADARSAT-2. Automated methods can provide mappings in larger volumes, with more consistency, and in finer resolutions, which are otherwise impractical to generate. We have developed such an automated ice-water discrimination system called MAp-Guided Ice Classification. First, the HV (horizontal transmit polarization, vertical receive polarization) scene is classified using the “glocal” method, i.e., a hierarchical region-based classification method based on the published iterative region growing using semantics (IRGS) algorithm. Second, a pixel-based support vector machine (SVM) using a nonlinear radial basis function kernel classification is performed exploiting synthetic aperture radar gray-level cooccurrence texture and backscatter features. Finally, the IRGS and SVM classification results are combined using the IRGS approach but with a modified energy function to accommodate the SVM pixel-based information. The combined classifier was tested on 20 ground truthed dual polarization RADARSAT-2 scenes of the Beaufort Sea containing a variety of ice types and water patterns across melt, summer, and freeze-up periods. The average leave-one-out classification accuracy with respect to these ground truths is 96.42%, with a minimum of 89.95% for one scene. The MAGIC system is now under consideration by the CIS for operational use.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that the proposedMLR method significantly outperforms CCA as well as several other competing methods for SSVEP detection, especially for time windows shorter than 1 second, demonstrating that the MLR method is a promising new approach for achieving improved real-time performance of SSVEp-BCIs.
Abstract: Many of the most widely accepted methods for reliable detection of steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) utilize canonical correlation analysis (CCA). CCA uses pure sine and cosine reference templates with frequencies corresponding to the visual stimulation frequencies. These generic reference templates may not optimally reflect the natural SSVEP features obscured by the background EEG. This paper introduces a new approach that utilizes spatio-temporal feature extraction with multivariate linear regression (MLR) to learn discriminative SSVEP features for improving the detection accuracy. MLR is implemented on dimensionality-reduced EEG training data and a constructed label matrix to find optimally discriminative subspaces. Experimental results show that the proposed MLR method significantly outperforms CCA as well as several other competing methods for SSVEP detection, especially for time windows shorter than 1 second. This demonstrates that the MLR method is a promising new approach for achieving improved real-time performance of SSVEP-BCIs.
