  1. Simulation of a Billet Heating Furnace. This work presents the method developed in the scope of the “Audit Furnace” project to support the manufacturing industry in understanding the energy efficiencies of its furnaces and to identify strategies for the continuous improvement of its processes. A digital representation to support the development, calibration, and training of a physical-based reduced-order model for industrial furnaces is. 2019.

  2. Clustering of Gaussian Random Vector Fields in Multiple Trajectory Modelling. This paper concerns the estimation of multiple dynamical models from a set of observed trajectories. It proposes vector valued gaussian random fields, representing dynamical models and their vector fields, combined with a modified k- means clustering algorithm to assign observed trajectories to models. The assignment is done according to a likelihood function obtained from applying the random fiel. 2018. Barão, Miguel; Marques, Jorge Salvador. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8514541.

  3. Gaussian random field-based log odds occupancy mapping. This paper focuses on mapping problem with known robot pose in static environments and proposes a Gaussian random field-based log odds occupancy mapping (GRF-LOOM). In this method, occupancy probability is regarded as an unknown parameter and the dependence between parameters are considered. Given measurements and the dependence, the parameters of not only observed space but also unobserved space. 2018. Li, Hongjun; Barão, Miguel; Rato, Luís. https://doi.org/10.1109/AQTR.2018.8402727.

  4. Online learning occupancy grid maps for mobile robots. Robot mapping is the basic work for robot navigation and path planning. Static map is also important to deal with dynamic environment. Occupancy grid maps are used to represent the environment. This paper focuses on the dependence between grid cells. We assume that if one point of the map is free, then the neighbors are likely to be free. This knowledge is encoded in a Markov random field (MRF) th. 2017.

Air traffic controllers workload limits impose upper bounds to the amount of traffic manageable in a given air sector for a given time frame. Air Traf- fic Control (ATC) automation methods open the possibility of reducing this workload by shifting to the machine the tasks of (1) detecting poten- tial conflicts, and of (2) proposing to the controller ATC instructions that prevent such conflicts.
