Comparing recordings of emerging electrocardiography (ECG) systems to a reference ECG system requires accurate synchronization of data from both devices. Current methods can be inefficient and prone to errors. To address this issue, three algorithms are presented to synchronize two ECG time series from different recording systems: Binned R-peak Correlation, R-R Interval Correlation, and Average R-peak Distance. These algorithms reduce ECG data to their cyclic features, mitigating inefficiencies and minimizing discrepancies between different recording systems. We evaluate the performance of these algorithms using high-quality data and then assess their robustness after manipulating the R-peaks. Our results show that R-R Interval Correlation was the most efficient, whereas the Average R-peak Distance and Binned R-peak Correlation were more robust against noisy data.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinGebhardtetal.2015, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Gebhardt, Andreas and Kallweit, Stephan and Scholl, Ingrid and Tedjasukmana, Osmond Sanjaya}, title = {Improving additive manufacturing by image processing and robotic milling}, series = {2015 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), Aug 24-28, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden}, booktitle = {2015 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), Aug 24-28, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden}, doi = {10.1109/CoASE.2015.7294217}, pages = {924 -- 929}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2014, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {IR stereo kinect: improving depth images by combining structured light with IR stereo}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @incollection{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2014, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {IR stereo kinect: improving depth images by combining structured light with IR stereo}, series = {PRICAI 2014: Trends in artificial intelligence : 13th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence : Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, December 1-5, 2014 : proceedings.

A depth image is computed by calculating the distortion of a known infrared light (IR) pattern which is projected into the scene. While these sensors are great devices they have some limitations. The distance they can measure is limited and they suffer from reflection problems on transparent, shiny, or very matte and absorbing objects. If more than one RGB-D camera is used the IR patterns interfere with each other. This results in a massive loss of depth information. In this paper, we present a simple and powerful method to overcome these problems. We propose a stereo RGB-D camera system which uses the pros of RGB-D cameras and combine them with the pros of stereo camera systems. The idea is to utilize the IR images of each two sensors as a stereo pair to generate a depth map. The IR patterns emitted by IR projectors are exploited here to enhance the dense stereo matching even if the observed objects or surfaces are texture-less or transparent. The resulting disparity map is then fused with the depth map offered by the RGB-D sensor to fill the regions and the holes that appear because of interference, or due to transparent or reflective objects. Our results show that the density of depth information is increased especially for transparent, shiny or matte objects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2018, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {CRVM: Circular Random Variable-based Matcher - A Novel Hashing Method for Fast NN Search in High-dimensional Spaces}, series = {Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods, ICPRAM 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods, ICPRAM 2018}, isbn = {978-989-758-276-9}, doi = {10.5220/0006692802140221}, pages = {214 -- 221}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinFerreinScholl2019, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {An Efficient Hashing Algorithm for NN Problem in HD Spaces}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, booktitle = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, isbn = {978-303005498-4}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-05499-1_6}, pages = {101 -- 115}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinSchifferFerreinetal.2018, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {Optimized KinectFusion Algorithm for 3D Scanning Applications}, series = {Proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - Volume 2: BIOIMAGING}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - Volume 2: BIOIMAGING}, isbn = {978-989-758-278-3}, doi = {10.5220/0006594700500057}, pages = {50 -- 57}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlhwarinSchifferFerreinetal.2019, author = {Alhwarin, Faraj and Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Scholl, Ingrid}, title = {An Optimized Method for 3D Body Scanning Applications Based on KinectFusion}, series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, volume = {1024}, booktitle = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, publisher = {Springer}, issn = {1865-0929}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-29196-9_6}, pages = {100 -- 113}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AllalBannisterBuismanetal.2022, author = {Allal, D. and Bannister, R. and Buisman, K. and Capriglione, D. and Di Capua, G. and Garc{\´i}a-Patr{\´o}n, M. and Gatzweiler, Thomas and Gellersen, F. and Harzheim, Thomas and Heuermann, Holger and Hoffmann, J. and Izbrodin, A. and Kuhlmann, K. and Lahbacha, K. and Maffucci, A. and Miele, G. and Mubarak, F. and Salter, M. and Pham, T.D. and Sayegh, A. and Singh, D. and Stein, F. and Zeier, M.}, title = {RF measurements for future communication applications: an overview}, series = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE International Symposium on Measurements \& Networking (M\&N)}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-6654-8362-9}, issn = {2639-5061}, doi = {10.1109/MN55117.2022.9887740}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In this paper research activities developed within the FutureCom project are presented.

Since the physical characteristics of a production series are similar, it can be described by affinity and scaling laws. Making use of these laws, our construction kit can be modeled more efficiently: Instead of a preselection of components, it now encompasses whole model ranges.

But, how to find the best fitting RPA product for a specific situation that creates the expected benefits? This question is related to the general area of software evaluation and selection. In the face of more than 75 RPA products currently on the market, guidance considering those specifics is required. Therefore, this chapter proposes a criteria-based selection method specifically for RPA. The method includes a quantitative evaluation of costs and benefits as well as a qualitative utility analysis based on functional criteria. By using the visualization of financial implications (VOFI) method, an application-oriented structure is provided that opposes the total cost of ownership to the time savings times salary (TSTS). For the utility analysis a detailed list of functional criteria for RPA is offered. The whole method is based on a multi-vocal review of scientific and non-scholarly literature including publications by business practitioners, consultants, and vendors. The application of the method is illustrated by a concrete RPA example. The illustrated structures, templates, and criteria can be directly utilized by practitioners in their real-life RPA implementations. In addition, a normative decision process for selecting RPA alternatives is proposed before the chapter closes with a discussion and outlook.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BensbergAuthCzarneckietal.2018, author = {Bensberg, Frank and Auth, Gunnar and Czarnecki, Christian and W{\"o}rndle, Christopher}, title = {Transforming literature-intensive research processes through text analytics - design, implementation and lessons learned}, editor = {Kemal İlter, H.}, doi = {10.6084/m9.figshare.7582073.v1}, pages = {9 Seiten}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The continuing growth of scientific publications raises the question how research processes can be digitalized and thus realized more productively.

Despite recent advances for many open research questions, these kind of systems are not widely used in real rescue missions. One reason is that such systems are complex and not (yet) very reliable; another is that one has to be an robotic expert to run such a system. Moreover, available rescue robots are very expensive and the benefits of using them are still limited. In this paper, we present the Scarab robot, an alternative design for a USAR robot. The robot is light weight, humanpackable and its primary purpose is that of extending the rescuer's capability to sense the disaster site.

Known state-of-the-art research activities like the Dual GCT, the ETO thyristor and the ICT were presented and critically reviewed. A comparison with commercialized solutions identifies the pros and cons of each type of device family. Based on this analysis, the IETO structure is proposed, covering most benefits of each device class. In particular the combination of a MOS-assisted turn-off with a thyristor-based device allows a voltage-controlled MOS switching and the low on-state voltage of the thyristors. The following synthesis of an IETO device stands on a three-dimensional field of optimization spanned by electric, mechanical and thermal aspects. From an electric point of view, the lowest possible parasitic inductance and resistance within the commutation path are optimization criteria. The mechanical construction has to withstand the required contact pressure of multiple kilo Newtons. Finally, thermal borders limit the maximum average current of the device. FEM simulations covering these three aspects are performed for several design proposals. An IETO prototype is constructed and measurements on various test benches attest thermal, mechanical and electric performance. A local decoupling of the external driver stage and the presspack housing is presented by a cable connection. This separation enables a thermal and mechanical independence, which is advantageous in terms of vibrations and thermal cycles including increased reliability. The electric pulse performance of the prototype device is a factor of 3.1 above today''s solutions. In single-pulse measurements, a current up to 1600 A was successfully turned off at 115°C with an active silicon area of 823 mm². One reason for this increased turn-off capability is the extremely low-inductive construction. Additional functionality of the IETO thyristor like over-current self-protection and defined short-circuit failure state are successfully verified.}, language = {en} } @misc{BragardBuddeHenteetal.2008, author = {Bragard, Michael and Budde, W.

Once a trajectory has been found, the next challenge is to accurately and safely follow the precalculated path. The model-predictive controller (MPC) is a common approach for the lateral control of autonomous vehicles. The MPC uses a vehicle dynamics model to predict the future states of the vehicle for a given prediction horizon. However, in order to achieve real-time path control, the computational load is usually large, which leads to short prediction horizons. To deal with the computational load, the control algorithm can be parallelized on the graphics processing unit (GPU). In contrast to the widely used stochastic methods, in this paper we propose a deterministic approach based on grid search. Our approach focuses on systematically discovering the search area with different levels of granularity. To achieve this, we split the optimization algorithm into multiple iterations. The best sequence of each iteration is then used as an initial solution to the next iteration. The granularity increases, resulting in smooth and predictable steering angle sequences. We present a novel GPU-based algorithm and show its accuracy and realtime abilities with a number of real-world experiments.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenSchoembergKraffetal.2016, author = {Chen, Bixia and Schoemberg, Tobias and Kraff, Oliver and Dammann, Philipp and Bitz, Andreas and Schlamann, Marc and Quick, Harald H. and Ladd, Mark E. and Sure, Ulrich and Wrede, Karsten H.}, title = {Cranial fixation plates in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging: a 3 and 7 Tesla in vivo image quality study}, series = {Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine}, volume = {29}, journal = {Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1352-8661}, doi = {10.1007/s10334-016-0548-1}, pages = {389 -- 398}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Objective This study assesses and quantifies impairment of postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 7 Tesla (T) after implantation of titanium cranial fixation plates (CFPs) for neurosurgical bone flap fixation. Materials and methods The study group comprised five patients who were intra-individually examined with 3 and 7 T MRI preoperatively and postoperatively (within 72 h/3 months) after implantation of CFPs. Acquired sequences included T₁-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid-acquisition gradient-echo (MPRAGE), T₂-weighted turbo-spin-echo (TSE) imaging, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Two experienced neurosurgeons and a neuroradiologist rated image quality and the presence of artifacts in consensus reading. Results Minor artifacts occurred around the CFPs in MPRAGE and T2 TSE at both field strengths, with no significant differences between 3 and 7 T. In SWI, artifacts were accentuated in the early postoperative scans at both field strengths due to intracranial air and hemorrhagic remnants. After resorption, the brain tissue directly adjacent to skull bone could still be assessed. Image quality after 3 months was equal to the preoperative examinations at 3 and 7 T.

However, there are still situations that automated vehicles cannot handle safely and efficiently. In this case, a Transition of Control (ToC) is necessary so that the driver takes control of the driving. Executing a ToC requires the driver to get full situation awareness of the driving environment. If the driver fails to get back the control in a limited time, a Minimum Risk Maneuver (MRM) is executed to bring the vehicle into a safe state (e.g., decelerating to full stop). The execution of ToCs requires some time and can cause traffic disruption and safety risks that increase if several vehicles execute ToCs/MRMs at similar times and in the same area. This study proposes to use novel C-ITS traffic management measures where the infrastructure exploits V2X communications to assist Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in the execution of ToCs. The infrastructure can suggest a spatial distribution of ToCs, and inform vehicles of the locations where they could execute a safe stop in case of MRM. This paper reports the first field operational tests that validate the feasibility and quantify the benefits of the proposed infrastructure-assisted ToC and MRM management. The paper also presents the CAV and roadside infrastructure prototypes implemented and used in the trials. The conducted field trials demonstrate that infrastructure-assisted traffic management solutions can reduce safety risks and traffic disruptions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CordesGligorevicBlicharski2019, author = {Cordes, Sven and Gligorevic, Snjezana and Blicharski, Peter}, title = {Analysis of sine precision influence on DOA estimation using the MUSIC algorithm}, series = {2019 20th International Radar Symposium (IRS)}, booktitle = {2019 20th International Radar Symposium (IRS)}, isbn = {978-3-7369-9860-5}, doi = {10.23919/IRS.2019.8768162}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @incollection{CroonCzarnecki2021, author = {Croon, Philipp and Czarnecki, Christian}, title = {Liability for loss or damages caused by RPA}, series = {Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications}, booktitle = {Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications}, editor = {Czarnecki, Christian and Fettke, Peter}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Oldenbourg}, isbn = {9783110676778}, doi = {10.1515/9783110676693-202}, pages = {135 -- 151}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Intelligent autonomous software robots replacing human activities and performing administrative processes are reality in today's corporate world.

It contributes with concrete design artifacts to the transformational needs of the telecommunications industry and offers lessons-learned from a general DSR perspective.}, language = {en} } @book{CzarneckiDietze2017, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Dietze, Christian}, title = {Reference architecture for the telecommunications industry: Transformation of strategy, organization, processes, data, and applications}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-46755-9 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-46757-3}, pages = {XXII, 253 Seiten}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This book reflects the tremendous changes in the telecommunications industry in the course of the past few decades - shorter innovation cycles, stiffer competition and new communication products. It analyzes the transformation of processes, applications and network technologies that are now expected to take place under enormous time pressure. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the TM Forum have provided reference solutions that are broadly recognized and used throughout the value chain of the telecommunications industry, and which can be considered the de facto standard. The book describes how these reference solutions can be used in a practical context: it presents the latest insights into their development, highlights lessons learned from numerous international projects and combines them with well-founded research results in enterprise architecture management and reference modeling. The complete architectural transformation is explained, from the planning and set-up stage to the implementation. Featuring a wealth of examples and illustrations, the book offers a valuable resource for telecommunication professionals, enterprise architects and project managers alike.}, language = {en} } @incollection{CzarneckiFettke2021, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Fettke, Peter}, title = {Robotic process automation : Positioning, structuring, and framing the work}, series = {Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications}, booktitle = {Robotic process automation : Management, technology, applications}, editor = {Czarnecki, Christian and Fettke, Peter}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Oldenbourg}, isbn = {978-3-11-067668-6 (Print)}, doi = {10.1515/9783110676693-202}, pages = {3 -- 24}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Robotic process automation (RPA) has attracted increasing attention in research and practice. This chapter positions, structures, and frames the topic as an introduction to this book. RPA is understood as a broad concept that comprises a variety of concrete solutions. From a management perspective RPA offers an innovative approach for realizing automation potentials, whereas from a technical perspective the implementation based on software products and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are relevant. RPA is industry-independent and can be used, for example, in finance, telecommunications, and the public sector. With respect to RPA this chapter discusses definitions, related approaches, a structuring framework, a research framework, and an inside as well as outside architectural view.

Although the implementation of an NGN seems to be merely a modification of the network infrastructure, it may trigger or require changes in the whole company and even influence the company strategy. To capture the effects of NGN we propose a framework based on concepts of business engineering and technical recommendations for the introduction of NGN technology. The specific design of solutions for the layers "Strategy", "Processes" and "Information Systems" as well as their interdependencies are an essential characteristic of the developed framework. We have per-formed a case study on NGN implementation and observed that all layers captured by our framework are influenced by the introduction of an NGN.}, language = {en} } @incollection{CzarneckiHongSchmitzetal.2021, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Hong, Chin-Gi and Schmitz, Manfred and Dietze, Christian}, title = {Enabling digital transformation through cognitive robotic process automation at Deutsche Telekom Services Europe}, series = {Digitalization Cases Vol. 2 : Mastering digital transformation for global business}, booktitle = {Digitalization Cases Vol. 2 : Mastering digital transformation for global business}, editor = {Urbach, Nils and R{\"o}glinger, Maximilian and Kautz, Karlheinz and Alias, Rose Alinda and Saunders, Carol and Wiener, Martin}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-80002-4 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-80003-1}, pages = {123 -- 138}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Subject of this case is Deutsche Telekom Services Europe (DTSE), a service center for administrative processes.

DTSE has to work with various backend application systems without any possibility to change those systems. Furthermore, the complexity of administrative processes differed.
