Vision-Based Road Conditions Alerts Systems in Connected Vehicle Environment for Accident-Prone Roads
Creators: Cui, Haibo
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Work zones, being a critical component of roadway transportation systems, can benefit greatly from computer vision-enabled roadway infrastructures, specifically in connected vehicle (CV) environments. Connected infrastructures, such as roadside units (RSU) and on-board units (OBU), can greatly improve the environmental awareness and safety of CVs driving through a work zone. In this regard, the contribution of this thesis lies in developing a vision-based approach to generate work zone safety messages in real-time, utilizing video streams from roadside monocular traffic cameras that can be used by CV work zone safety apps on mobile devices to reliably navigate through a work zone. A monocular traffic camera calibration method is proposed to establish an accurate mapping between the image plane and Global Position System (GPS) space. Real test scenarios show that our algorithm can precisely and effectively locate work zone boundaries from a monocular traffic camera in real-time. We demonstrate the capabilities and features of our system through real-world experiments where the driver cannot see the work zone. End-to-end latency analysis reveals that the vision-based work zone safety warning system satisfies the active safety latency requirements. This vision-based work zone safety alert system ensures the safety of both the worker and the driver in a CV environment. Winter roads that are covered by snow or ice, as seen in Alberta, can cause severe traffic accidents. Current winter road surface conditions (RSC) monitoring methods often generate incomplete RSC maps in city center areas. Cameras mounted on CVs and traffic cameras can be used as sensors to detect RSC. In this case, the contribution of this thesis focuses on developing automated RSC classification applications using CVs and traffic cameras in Alberta. Three state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms are trained and tested on RSC datasets. The pipeline of automated RSC classification applications in a CV environment is proposed. Comparisons of our methods versus current methods in real-world scenarios reveal our method can provide more detailed RSC maps in city center areas and narrow roads. Our RSC methods ensure the safety of drivers on winter roads.

description: Observability and controllability are essential concepts to the design of predictive observer models and feedback controllers of networked systems. For example, noncontrollable mathematical models of real systems have subspaces that influence model behavior, but cannot be controlled by an input. Such subspaces can be difficult to determine in complex nonlinear networks. Since almost all of the present theory was developed for linear networks without symmetries, here we present a numerical and group representational framework, to quantify the observability and controllability of nonlinear networks with explicit symmetries that shows the connection between symmetries and nonlinear measures of observability and controllability. We numerically observe and theoretically predict that not all symmetries have the same effect on network observation and control. Our analysis shows that the presence of symmetry in a network may decrease observability and controllability, although networks containing only rotational symmetries remain controllable and observable. These results alter our view of the nature of observability and controllability in complex networks, change our understanding of structural controllability, and affect the design of mathematical models to observe and control such networks.

description: We study the time evolution of a large-scale magnetic flux threading an accretion disk. Induction equation of the mean poloidal field is solved under the standard viscous disk model. Magnetic flux evolution is controlled by the two timescales: One is the timescale of the inward advection of the magnetic flux, tau_{adv}. This is induced by the dragging of the flux by the accreting gas. The other is the outward diffusion timescale of the magnetic flux tau_{dif}. We consider diffusion due to the Ohmic resistivity. These timescales can be significantly different from the disk viscous timescale tau_{disk}. The behaviors of the magnetic flux evolution is quite different depending on the magnitude relationship of the timescales tau_{adv}, τ_{dif}, and tau_{disk}. The most interesting phenomena occurs when tau_{adv} << tau_{dif}, tau_{disk}. In such a case, the magnetic flux distribution approaches a quasi-steady profile much faster than the viscous evolution of the gas disk, and also the magnetic flux has been tightly bundled to the inner part of the disk. In the inner part, although the poloidal magnetic field becomes much stronger than the interstellar magnetic field, the field strength is limited to the maximum value that is analytically given by our previous work (Okuzumi et al. 2014, ApJ, 785, 127). We also find a condition for that the initial large magnetic flux, which is a fossil of the magnetic field dragging during the early phase of star formation, survives for a duration in which significant gas disk evolution proceeds.

description: A semiconductor quantum dot mimics a two-level atom. Performance as a single photon source is limited by decoherence and dephasing of the optical transition. Even with high quality material at low temperature, the optical linewidths are a factor of two larger than the transform-limit. A major contributor to the inhomogeneous linewdith is the nuclear spin noise. We show here that the nuclear spin noise depends on optical excitation, increasing (decreasing) with increasing resonant laser power for the neutral (charged) exciton. Based on this observation, we discover regimes where we demonstrate transform-limited linewidths on both neutral and charged excitons even when the measurement is performed very slowly.

description: This paper proposes a simple, accurate and computationally efficient method to apply the ordinary unscented Kalman filter developed in Euclidean space to systems whose dynamics evolve on manifolds.We use the mathematical theory called stable embedding to make a variant of unscented Kalman filter that keeps state estimates in closeproximity to the manifold while exhibiting excellent estimation performance. We confirm the performance of our devised filter by applying it to the satellite system model and comparing the performance with other unscented Kalman filters devised specifically for systems on manifolds. Our devised filter has a low estimation error, keeps the state estimates in close proximity to the manifold as expected, and consumes a minor amount of computation time. Also our devised filter is simple and easy to use because our filter directly employs the off-the-shelf standard unscented Kalman filter devised in Euclidean space without any particular manifold-structure-preserving discretization method or coordinate transformation.

Reimagining Craft as Alternate Sustainable Community Pathways: A Community-based Participatory Exploration of Degrowth
Creators: Pacholok, Tanya I.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

From beekeeping to brewing, Alberta’s craft food sector offers potential provisionary pathways toward degrowth. While many sustainable development policies are fuelled by beliefs in ecological modernisation or green growth, degrowth scholars criticize these approaches as offering empty promises of “sustaining the unsustainable” while failing to question the underlying principles of endless growth causing environmental destruction in the first place (Fournier, 2008; Kallis et al., 2015). Degrowth scholarship is becoming increasingly prominent as a political, economic, and social movement, yet research on examples of real-existing degrowth in lived practice is limited (Brossman & Islar, 2019; Kallis et al., 2022). Craft food may offer sites for real-existing examples of reimagining a sustainable future and social imaginary beyond dominant modernist models of growth, hustle, and consumerist culture. The craft food sector has been emerging as part of a broader alternative, local food movement that seeks to increase food resilience and address the many complex issues of our current globalised agri-food system (IPCC, 2022).  Thus, the current study explores how craft food communities in Alberta understand degrowth and what this can reveal about how real-existing degrowth might be lived out in practice. Using an empirical community-based participatory research approach, I conducted a mixed-method study involving semi-structured interviews, a focus group, photovoice, and cellphilm methods (Wang & Burris, 1997). Using thematic content analysis (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005), I examined, analysed and organised participants’ responses into themes. In addition to this, I created an online community exhibit (Password: Degrowth) showcasing participants’ photovoice photographs, cellphilms, and quotes. This study’s findings contribute to the notion that degrowth approaches offer not just insights into economics and policy shifts but cultural and ontological shifts (Kallis et al., 2022).  In the context of a transitioning “petro-state” province like Alberta becoming so dependent on resource economies, particularly fossil fuels, examining craft food as a site of living degrowth principles offers insightful information on new social imaginaries and approaches to policy in environmental sustainability.
Wireless sensing systems based on passive UHF RFID technology for physical parameters measurement
Creators: Ahmad, Shaheen
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Sensing and monitoring using the conventional microwave, optical, and waveguide

methods have been the focus of many researchers for the past two decades. However,

the limitations imposed by these techniques such as power inefficiency and the use

of complex readout circuitries are the important challenges for their successful

implementation in the internet of things (IoT) based applications, when widespread

deployment of sensors is essential. This dissertation focuses on the design of a new

type of sensing systems utilizing a battery-less UHF RFID technology with the

capability of power efficient remote sensing, reduced sensing node complexity, and

lower maintenance over time.

Various capacitive interdigitated electrode (IDC) sensing elements were designed and

evaluated for different sensing applications. The working principle is based on the

capacitance variation of the sensing element due to the changes in the permittivity

profile of the test medium that alter phase of the backscattered RFID signal. In order

to use the high sensitivity advantages of the capacitive sensing element and the

passive nature of the RFID technology; the designed IDC structures were integrated

with a three-port RFID sensing architecture to develop a reliable non-contact passive

remote sensing systems.

In the next step the proposed passive wireless sensing system was practically tested

for remote liquid level detection in a real-world scenario. The presented solution is a

simple three-port sensing architecture without any internal power source at the

sensing node; that transduces liquid level variations into corresponding capacitance

iii

change, that adds an additional phase delay to the input RFID signal. The phase

variation of the backscattered signal is used to estimate the liquid level in real-time.

Furthermore, this concept is expanded to the volume fraction analysis of a binary as

well as multivariable mixtures by modifying the sensing element structure and

utilizing the limited RFID frequency band while taking advantages of the multitemperature measurements. The proposed method was evaluated by exposing the

sensor to various mixtures containing different ratios of oil, alcohol and water. The

difference in the phase values of the backscattered signal observed as a result of

measurements at a single frequency (927 MHz) and multi-temperatures is used to

calculate the unknown volume concentrations of the three components in a mixture

based on the unique permittivity profile of the test samples. The presented sensing

techniques provide a new solution for powerless real-time remote measurement in a

densely populated sensing environment.
Learning Programmatic Policies from ReLU Neural Networks
Creators: Orfanos, Spyros
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Oblique decision trees use linear combinations of features in the decision nodes. Due to the non-smooth structure of decision trees, training oblique decision trees is considerably difficult as the parameters are tuned using expensive non-differentiable optimization techniques or found by extensive search of a discretized space. Recent work showed that one can induce oblique decision trees from the derivatives of ReLU neural networks. For learning with gradient descent, the derivative-based model requires one to anneal from a smooth approximation of ReLU activation functions to ReLUs during training and to use a dynamic programming algorithm to efficiently compute the gradients.

In this thesis we show that regular ReLU neural networks trained with backpropagation can be written as oblique decision trees. We also show that hidden units from ReLU networks can be used to implicitly train oblique decision trees using computationally efficient algorithms for axis-aligned trees. Our result provides not only simple and efficient ways to induce oblique decision trees, but effective methods for synthesizing programmatic policies. This is because oblique decision trees can be seen as programs written in a domain-specific language commonly used in the programmatically interpretable reinforcement learning literature. All one needs to do is use a ReLU neural network to encode the policy, and learn using any policy gradient algorithm. Our methods can then map the policy learned with gradient descent to a program. Empirical results show that our approaches for synthesizing programmatic policies is competitive with the current state of the art if the synthesized programs are small; our methods outperforms the state of the art in almost all control problems evaluated if it is allowed to synthesize longer programs.

description: We investigate a multi-qubit quantum battery-charger model, focusing on its potential emulation on a superconducting qubit chip. Using a large-spin representation, we first obtain the analytical form of the energy $E_B(t)$, power $P_B(t)$ and their maximum values, $E_B^{\rm max}$ and $P_B^{\rm max}$, of the battery part by means of the antiferromagnetic Holstein-Primakoff (AFM-HP) transformation within the low-energy approximation. In this case, our results show that superextensive scaling behavior of $P_B^{\rm max}$ ensues. By further combining these with the ones obtained via exact diagonalization (ED), we classify the dynamics of various physical quantities, including the entanglement between the battery and charger parts for system sizes encompassing over 10,000 qubits. Finally, by checking a diverse set of system configurations, including either a fixed battery size with growing number of charger qubits, or when both parts simultaneously grow, we classify the system size scalings of $E_B^{\rm max}$ and $P_B^{\rm max}$, relating it with the entanglement entropy in the system. In agreement with the analytical results, robust superextensive behavior of $P_B^{\rm max}$ is also observed in this case. Our work provides an overall guide for expected features in experiments of quantum batteries emulated in superconducting qubit platforms, in particular ones that exhibit long-range couplings.

description: The linear model, in which a set of observations is assumed to be given by a linear combination of columns of a matrix, has long been the mainstay of the statistics and signal processing literature. One particular challenge for inference under linear models is understanding the conditions on the dictionary under which reliable inference is possible. This challenge has attracted renewed attention in recent years since many modern inference problems deal with the "underdetermined" setting, in which the number of observations is much smaller than the number of columns in the dictionary. This paper makes several contributions for this setting when the set of observations is given by a linear combination of a small number of groups of columns of the dictionary, termed the "block-sparse" case. First, it specifies conditions on the dictionary under which most block subdictionaries are well conditioned. This result is fundamentally different from prior work on block-sparse inference because (i) it provides conditions that can be explicitly computed in polynomial time, (ii) the given conditions translate into near-optimal scaling of the number of columns of the block subdictionaries as a function of the number of observations for a large class of dictionaries, and (iii) it suggests that the spectral norm and the quadratic-mean block coherence of the dictionary (rather than the worst-case coherences) fundamentally limit the scaling of dimensions of the well-conditioned block subdictionaries. Second, this paper investigates the problems of block-sparse recovery and block-sparse regression in underdetermined settings. Near-optimal block-sparse recovery and regression are possible for certain dictionaries as long as the dictionary satisfies easily computable conditions and the coefficients describing the linear combination of groups of columns can be modeled through a mild statistical prior.

description: We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) weak gravitational lensing study of nine distant and massive galaxy clusters with redshifts $1.0 \lesssim z \lesssim 1.7$ ($z_\mathrm{median} = 1.4$) and Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) detection significance $ξ> 6.0$ from the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. We measured weak lensing galaxy shapes in HST/ACS F606W and F814W images and used additional observations from HST/WFC3 in F110W and VLT/FORS2 in $U_\mathrm{HIGH}$ to preferentially select background galaxies at $z\gtrsim 1.8$, achieving a high purity. We combined recent redshift estimates from the CANDELS/3D-HST and HUDF fields to infer an improved estimate of the source redshift distribution. We measured weak lensing masses by fitting the tangential reduced shear profiles with spherical Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) models. We obtained the largest lensing mass in our sample for the cluster SPT-CLJ2040$-$4451, thereby confirming earlier results that suggest a high lensing mass of this cluster compared to X-ray and SZ mass measurements. Combining our weak lensing mass constraints with results obtained by previous studies for lower redshift clusters, we extended the calibration of the scaling relation between the unbiased SZ detection significance $ζ$ and the cluster mass for the SPT-SZ survey out to higher redshifts. We found that the mass scale inferred from our highest redshift bin ($1.2 < z < 1.7$) is consistent with an extrapolation of constraints derived from lower redshifts, albeit with large statistical uncertainties. Thus, our results show a similar tendency as found in previous studies, where the cluster mass scale derived from the weak lensing data is lower than the mass scale expected in a Planck $νΛ$CDM (i.e. $ν$ $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter) cosmology given the SPT-SZ cluster number counts.

Compact Depth-wise Separable Precise Network For Depth Completion
Creators: Wang, Tianqi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Predicting a dense depth map from LiDAR scans and synced RGB images with a small deep neural network is a challenging task. Most top-accuracy methods boost precision by having a very large number of parameters and as a result huge memory consumption. Whereas, depth completion tasks are commonly tackled in areas like autonomous driving such that edge devices, which are powered by embedded GPU, are the main platform. In this work, we present a methodology to produce an efficient depth completion model with high-performance fidelity inspired by PENet. To create a compact model, we propose replacing convolutional encoder layers with depth-wise separable convolution and transpose convolutional decoder with up-sampling plus depth-wise separable convolution. Our technique

of using random layer pruning as a stability test guilds the design of the architecture and avoids over-parameterization. We also provide a simple but robust knowledge distillation method to further turbocharge the network and make our model scalable to fulfill a better quality requirement. Our experiments have shown a decent improvement over the leading compact models while using significantly fewer parameters compared with other larger models.

description: The lanthanum-hydrogen system has attracted significant attention following the report of superconductivity in LaH10 at near-ambient temperatures and high pressures. Here, we present the results of our single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on this system, supported by density functional theory calculations, which reveal an unexpected chemical and structural diversity of lanthanum hydrides synthesized in the range of 50 to 180 GPa. Seven lanthanum hydrides were produced, LaH3, LaH~4, LaH4+δ, La4H23, LaH6+δ, LaH9+δ, and LaH10+δ, and the atomic coordinates of lanthanum in their structures determined. The regularities in rare-earth element hydrides unveiled here provide clues to guide the search for other synthesizable hydrides and candidate high-temperature superconductors. The hydrogen content variability in lanthanum hydrides and the samples' phase heterogeneity underline the challenges related to assessing potentially superconducting phase(s) and the nature of electronic transitions in high-pressure hydrides.

description: The distribution of dark matter halo masses can be accurately predicted in the $Λ$CDM cosmology. The presence of a single massive halo or galaxy at a particular redshift, assuming some baryon and stellar fraction for the latter, can therefore be used to test the underlying cosmological model. A number of recent measurements of very large galaxy stellar masses at high redshift ($z > 8$) motivate an investigation into whether any of these objects are in tension with $Λ$CDM. We use extreme value statistics to generate confidence regions in the mass-redshift plane for the most extreme mass haloes and galaxies. Tests against numerical models show no tension, neither in their dark matter halo masses nor their galaxy stellar masses. However, we find tentative $> 3σ$ tension with recent observational determinations of galaxy masses at high redshift from both HST & JWST, despite using conservative estimates for the stellar fraction ($f_{\star} \sim 1$). Either these galaxies are in tension with $Λ$CDM, or there are unaccounted for uncertainties in their stellar mass or redshift estimates.

description: Ciliated tissues such as in the mammalian lungs, brains, and reproductive tracts, are specialized to pump fluid. They generate flows by the collective activity of hundreds of thousands of individual cilia that beat in a striking metachronal wave pattern. Despite progress in analyzing cilia coordination, a general theory that links coordination and fluid pumping in the limit of large arrays of cilia remains lacking. Here, we conduct in-silico experiments with thousands of hydrodynamically-interacting cilia, and we develop a continuum theory in the limit of infinitely-many independently beating cilia by combining tools from active matter and classical Stokes flow. We find, in both simulations and theory, that isotropic and synchronized ciliary states are unstable. Traveling waves emerge regardless of initial conditions, but the characteristics of the wave and net flows depend on cilia and tissue properties. That is, metachronal phase coordination is a stable global attractor in large ciliary carpets, even under finite perturbations to cilia and tissue properties. These results support the notion that functional specificity of ciliated tissues is interlaced with the tissue architecture and cilia beat kinematics and open up the prospect of establishing structure-to-function maps from cilium-level beat to tissue-level coordination and fluid pumping.

The newfound wealth of rich sources of data---including banknote flows, mobile phone records, and transportation data---has led to an explosion of attempts to characterize modern human mobility. Unfortunately, the dearth of comparable historical data makes it much more difficult to study human mobility patterns from the past. In this paper, we present an analysis of long-term human migration, which is important for processes such as urbanization and the spread of ideas. We demonstrate that the data record from Korean family books (called "jokbo") can be used to estimate migration patterns via marriages from the past 750 years. We apply two generative models of long-term human mobility to quantify the relevance of geographical information to human marriage records in the data, and we find that the wide variety in the geographical distributions of the clans poses interesting challenges for the direct application of these models. Using the different geographical distributions of clans, we quantify the "ergodicity" of clans in terms of how widely and uniformly they have spread across Korea, and we compare these results to those obtained using surname data from the Czech Republic. To examine population flow in more detail, we also construct and examine a population-flow network between regions. Based on the correlation between ergodicity and migration in Korea, we identify two different types of migration patterns: diffusive and convective. We expect the analysis of diffusive versus convective effects in population flows to be widely applicable to the study of mobility and migration patterns across different cultures.

With machine learning models becoming more complicated and more widely applied to solve real-world challenges, there comes the need to explain their reasoning. In parallel with the advancements of deep learning methods, Explainable AI (XAI) algorithms have been proposed to address the issue of transparency and shed some light on the decisions of black box machine learning models. Many works try to categorize and compare XAI methods to one another, but they usually provide a subjective outlook. The first contribution of this research is proposing a quantifiable approach to compare XAI methods based on causal inference.

LIME and SHAP are two of the most popular XAI methods. The result of these two algorithms is a ranking of feature importance. In a sense, they seek to demonstrate how important a feature is in predicting the outcome. We thoroughly question this pipeline of training a black box deep learning model and then explain it afterward using XAI methods. Generating a diverse set of experiments with various causal relationships, we quantify how much the output of LIME and SHAP aligns with the causal relationships at hand. The second contribution of this work is to use our suggested quantifiable framework in action to see how aligned the output of these widely used XAI methods is according to the causal baseline.

description: Predicting an athlete's performance based on short footage is highly challenging. Performance prediction requires high domain knowledge and enough evidence to infer an appropriate quality assessment. Sports pundits can often infer this kind of information in real-time. In this paper, we propose regressing an ultra-distance runner cumulative race time (CRT), i.e., the time the runner has been in action since the race start, by using only a few seconds of footage as input. We modified the I3D ConvNet backbone slightly and trained a newly added regressor for that purpose. We use appropriate pre-processing of the visual input to enable transfer learning from a specific runner. We show that the resulting neural network can provide a remarkable performance for short input footage: 18 minutes and a half mean absolute error in estimating the CRT for runners who have been in action from 8 to 20 hours. Our methodology has several favorable properties: it does not require a human expert to provide any insight, it can be used at any moment during the race by just observing a runner, and it can inform the race staff about a runner at any given time.

"Hip-Hop... You Don't Stop" : Exploring Experiences of Pandemic Pedagogical Connection

description: Can you feel the groove? Hip-Hop has the rhythmic power to connect individuals while providing an outlet for creative expression. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruption in our day-to-day lives, causing a sense of disconnect between each other. The implementation of government protocols such as mask mandates, social distancing, and the transition to virtual learning has caused challenges for teachers in the dance community. I am curious to phenomenologically inquire into the experience of pedagogical connection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Can we connect in a time of disconnection? The purpose of this Motion-Sensing Phenomenological study is to understand the interactive experiences of connection through Hip-Hop dance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants of this study were three Hip-Hop dance teachers who taught consistently, in-person or online through interactive technology during the pandemic. By actively immersing myself in the pedagogical connection, I observed, moved, and sensed this phenomenon in action. I conducted semi-structured motion-sensing phenomenological interviews with teacher to elaborate on their meaningful and connective experiences. Drawing from my participatory sensations and observations, I used the Interactive Function to Flow Model (Lloyd & Smith, 2022) to form my research questions: What connective postures showed when a participant was ready to groove? What connective gestures drew out the moments of connection? What qualities of timing and force cultivated feelings of a connection, and what kinaesthetic sensations were experienced when connections were felt? By stepping into these motion-sensing experiences, pedagogical connective moments emerged between participants, revealing somatic connective meanings in Hip-Hop dance. A deeper understanding of the intricate relation between Hip-Hop, movement, and its connective power within a global pandemic was found tethered within three contexts: a cypher, a partnered dance activity, and beyond a four walled computer screen. From relational positions of teacher and students, connective gestures shaped moments of collective synergies cultivated interactive flow. Despite the barriers of the COVID-19 pandemic, we can feel the groove, and it is clear with HIP-HOP, WE DON’T STOP.

description: The Coefficient of Parentage (COP) between two individuals is the expected inbreeding of their offspring. Originally exploited by animal breeders, is now a routine calculation among plant breeders as part of crop improvement programs. Here we show that the COP between strains requires a different calculation than the used to calculate the COP between individuals. Failure to do so may result in an overestimation of the amount of inbreeding. Here we provide a simple methodology to calculate the correct coefficient of parentage between strains.

description: Spatial sound field interpolation relies on suitable models to both conform to available measurements and predict the sound field in the domain of interest. A suitable model can be difficult to determine when the spatial domain of interest is large compared to the wavelength or when spherical and planar wavefronts are present or the sound field is complex, as in the near-field. To span such complex sound fields, the global reconstruction task can be partitioned into local subdomain problems. Previous studies have shown that partitioning approaches rely on sufficient measurements within each domain, due to the higher number of model coefficients. This study proposes a joint analysis of all local subdomains, while enforcing self-similarity between neighbouring partitions. More specifically, the coefficients of local plane wave representations are sought to have spatially smooth magnitudes. A convolutional model of the sound field in terms of plane wave filters is formulated and the inverse reconstruction problem is solved via the alternating direction method of multipliers. The experiments on simulated and measured sound fields suggest, that the proposed method both retains the flexibility of local models to conform to complex sound fields and also preserves the global structure to reconstruct from fewer measurements.
