Canonical Diffeomorphisms of Manifolds Near Spheres by Wang, Bing, Zhao, Xinrui

“…Abstract For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ ( M n , g ) which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ ( S n , g round ) in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ R c ≥ n - 1 , it is known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M is diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ S n . …”

Passive acoustic tracking of an unmanned underwater vehicle using bearing-Doppler-speed measurements by Kita, Kristen Railey, Randeni, Supun, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…The propeller rotation rate can be estimated from the motor signature and converted to speed using a pre-identified model of the robot. The bearing-Doppler-speed measurements outperformed traditional bearing-Doppler target motion analysis: the bearing, bearing rate, range, and range rate accuracy improved by a factor of 2×, 16×, 3×, and 6×, respectively. …”
