Weekly Seminar Series: “Li-Fi by Lucibel: The first industrialised solution on the market”
ABSTRACT: Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is a technology for wireless communication that uses light to provide data transmission and illumination services simultaneously. From the beginning, Li-Fi has been designed to give to the end-user a connectivity experience that is similar to Wi-Fi. Among other advantages, Li-Fi guarantees highly secured data transmissions, can be used in areas [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Graph Signal Processing”
ABSTRACT: Signal Processing has traditionally dealt with time series, images, video where data is indexed by time ticks and pixels. The structure of the indexing set is taken for granted. In the last few years, new opportunities for signal and data processing have arisen, except data is now indexed by social agents, genes, customers of [...]
PhD Thesis Defense: Cellular Networks for Smart Grid Communication
In the context of this PhD thesis defense, Charalampos Kalalas presents his work realized at CTTC. This dissertaion deals the next-generation electric power system, known as smart grid, relies on a robust and reliable underlying communication infrastructure to improve the efficiency of electricity distribution. Cellular networks, e.g., LTE/LTE-A systems, appear as a promising technology to [...]
This seminar is part of the Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT) for Spain of the Prof. Davide Dardari. ABSTRACT: The need for accurate geolocation has intensified in recent years, especially in cluttered environments (e.g., inside buildings, in urban canyons, under tree canopies, and in caves), where the global positioning system (GPS) is often inaccessible. The talk [...]

The course will cover the relevant aspects of GBSAR data analysis to understand advantages and limitations of this new technique and to correctly exploit and interpret its data. Lectures [...]
CTTC participates at the Maker Faire with its robotic platform
CTTC has been selected to be presented at the Maker Faire. The Geomatic Division of the CTTC will show in this amazing faire a robotic platform (rover) created to do research in indoor and outdoor mapping, 3D reconstruction and cartography and autonomous navigation. It includes a set of sensors, like GNSS, IMU and dual-camera depth [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Compressed Sensing: Introduction to Theory and Practical Algorithms”
ABSTRACT: ASIP Department of Communication System Division is pleased to invite you to the course entitled “Compressed Sensing: Introduction to Theory and Practical Algorithms”. Compressed Sensing studies the compression and recovery of sparse signals with a reduced number of measurements. Efficient algorithms for reconstruction exists, such as the L1 minimization, many applications in signal processing [...]
