Author:Duvenhage, BDate:Oct 2006This paper describes an innovative “physically based” spectral lighting, material and camera model that is based on radiometry theory and is an expansion of the historical fixed pipeline graphics system. There are two render target modes of ...Read more
Author:Lebese, J; Olwal, T; Mfupe, Luzango PDate:Sep 2021Spectrum occupancy measurements have become vital due to the proliferation of radio users. Literature shows that most of the allocated spectrum is used sporadically. This brings in the idea of dynamic spectrum access techniques using Cognitive ...Read more
Author:Du Toit, PJW; Burd, SC; Konrad, T; Uys, HermannDate:Dec 2018We present protocols for feedback control and stabilization of a single qubit undergoing Rabi oscillations. Using a hybrid quantum-classical Bayesian estimation technique we simulate monitoring of the dynamical parameter (Rabi frequency) of ...Read more
