UC Berkeley and Nokia researchers used GPS-enabled cell phones to test a technology that could soon transform the way drivers navigate through traffic. In the unprecedented Cal-trans funded field experiment, transportation researchers used GPS-enabled mobile phones to monitor real-time traffic flow while preserving the privacy of the phones’ users.

October 18, 2006 lecture by Dror Baron for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). Dror Baron discusses the numerous rich insights information theory has to offer Compressed Sensing (CS), an emerging field based on the revelation that optimization routines can reconstruct a sparse signal from a small number of linear projects of the [...]
