An acoustic fall detection system using beamforming, source separation and Kinect
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this dissertation, we first review the previous work on acoustic fall detection system based on the contributed paper work. Then we propose a ... -
Action recognition via sequence embedding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A comb structural exemplar embedding based approach is introduced for action recognition. We propose a new framework to represent an action as a weak ... -
Adding intelligence to a floor based array personnel detector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)According to the World Health Organization-WHO, a fall is defined, as "inadvertently coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level, excluding intentional change in position to rest in furniture, wall or other ... -
Analysis of flame images in gas-fired furnaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)A promising architecture is proposed in this research work for evaluating gasfired furnace flame combustion quality. The quality assessment is based on information on its fuel and oxidizer flow rate level which are the ... -
Analysis of performance/accuracy tradeoffs for floating point applications on GPUS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Floating-point computations produce approximate results, which can lead to inaccuracy problems. Existing work addresses two issues: first, the design of high precision floatingpoint representations; second, the study of ... -
Application of deep convolutional neural networks to automatic feature/object detection in high resolution remote sensing imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This thesis investigates how deep learning can be used to automatically detect features and/or objects of interest in high resolution satellite imagery. ... -
Body-worn accelerometer-based health assessment algorithms for independent living older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The mainstream smart wearable products used for activity trackers have experienced significant growth recently. Among the older population, collecting long periods of activity data in a real-life setting is challenging ... -
Convolutional Neural Network architectures for digit recognition system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Rapidly evolving of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) appeals and endeavors us to explore and discover various CNN model's robustness leading to ... -
Critical analysis and evaluation of different automata processing accelerators on large-scale datasets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Many established and emerging applications perform at their core some form of pattern matching, a computation that maps naturally onto finite automata abstractions. As a consequence, in recent years there has been a ... -
Critical study of parallel programming frameworks for distributed applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Parallel programming frameworks such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI), Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages, Charm++, Legion and High Performance Parallel X (HPX) have been used in several scientific ... -
A data acquisition system that uses signal scavenging to detect activity on floor pads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We designed a data acquisition system to scan data from four sensors on a pad using the smart carpet technology. We constructed and tested four data ... -
Data display for a signal scavenging personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We developed a display to remotely monitor activity in a room using passive elements like aluminum foils, and a mechanism which will inform the loved ... -
Data processing system for a personnel walking activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] -
Design of runtime libraries to improve programmability and efficiency of heterogeneous CPU-GPU nodes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As computers began to reach their limit on how fast a single processor could execute code, computer developers began to devise methods to process more ... -
Detecting explosive hazards in 3D radar imaging through slice based feature extraction and sequential learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SYSTEM AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis provides the history and framework of detecting explosive hazards from three-dimensional radar by extracting features through a ... -
Detection and classification of brainwaves using digital signal processing techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SYSTEM AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Different activities of our human brain can be detected as different brainwaves. The brainwaves are divided into different types based on their ... -
Development and comparison of customized voice-assistant systems for independent living older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Voice-controlled in-home personal assistants have great potential to assist older adults. This thesis explores the aspects of human-computer interface design, specifically a voice assistant, to help older adults manage ... -
Development and validation of an interactive remote physical therapy system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)We present an Interactive Physical Therapy System (IPTS) for remote quantitative assessment of clients in the home. The system consists of two different interactive interfaces connected through a network, for a real-time ... -
