People re-identification in a camera network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)In this research, we present an appearance based method for people re-identification. It consists in the extraction of two types of features related to human appearance, color histograms and SIFT features. Images are ... -
People re-identification over non-overlapping camera views
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Person re-identification is a computer vision task of recognizing an individual from similar background across non-overlapping camera views. In this ... -
Performance analysis of mix-kernel convolutional neural network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) have achieved the state-of-the-art performance in a number of computer vision tasks in recent years, including object detection, classification and recognition. The DCNN is very ... -
Person re-identification with pairwise learning and ranking

Pixel level pavement crack detection using deep convolutional neural network with residual blocks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Road condition monitoring, such as surface defects and pavement cracks detection, is an important task in road management. Automated road surface defect detection is also a challenging problem in computer vision and machine ... -
Robust person tracking in indoor environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] -
Semi-supervised interactive unmixing for hyperspectral image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In the past several decades, hyperspectral imaging has drawn a lot of attention in the field of remote sensing. Yet, due to low spatial resolutions of hyperspectral imagers, often the response from more than one surface ... -
Sensor network for early illness detection in the elderly
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The independent living facilities at TigerPlace allow the elderly to age in place in a homely setting that fosters independence, autonomy, and privacy while providing some level of aid like shared meals, housekeeping, and ... -
Stock market forecasting using recurrent neural network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In this research, we study the problem of stock market forecasting using Recurrent Neural Network(RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The purpose of this research is to examine the feasibility and performance of LSTM ... -
Subsurface explosive hazard detection using MIMO forward-looking ground penetrating radar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This research develops a machine learning algorithm for subsurface object detection on multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) forward-looking ... -
Task driven extended functions of multiple instances (TD-eFUMI)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Dictionary learning techniques have proven to be a powerful method in the pattern recognition literature. Recently supervised dictionary learning has been used to achieve very good results on a number of different data ... -
Techniques for efficient regular expression matching across hardware architectures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Regular expression matching is a central task for many networking and bioinformatics applications. For example, network intrusion detection systems, which perform deep packet inspection to detect malicious network activities, ... -
Type-1 and type-2 fuzzy systems for detecting visitors in an uncertain environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)In this work, I have developed an algorithm to detect the presence of visitors in a noninvasive manner. This algorithm is designed as part of an in home monitoring system. The data from the algorithm will be used as a way ... -
Unobtrusive, in-home gait measurement, fall risk assessment, and fall detection using depth imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Research has shown the importance of measuring a person's gait. However, current methods for measuring gait, such as observation by a clinician with a ... -
Use of Jacobians for inverse kinematics of articulated robots : a study on approximate solutions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)In the context of articulated robotic manipulators, the Forward Kinematics (FK) is a highly non-linear function that maps joint configurations of the robot to poses of its endeffector. Furthermore, while in the most useful ... -
Vehicle license plate detection and recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this work, we develop a license plate detection and recognition method using a SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier with HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) features. The system performs window searching at different ... -
Walk detection using pulse-Doppler radar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Seniors increasingly live more independent lifestyles. This can come with certain safety hazards including deteriorating health, and major injuries from falling. A factor that has been researched and observed to have a ... -
Wireless communication for small floor pads to detect personnel activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Our laboratory has designed data acquisition systems to detect personnel activity using floor-based sensors, which we call the smart carpet. Therefore, ...
