GUI for debugging and development of reconfigurable, evolving systems enabled by embedded hardware blocks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A flexible hardware testbed for Evolutionary Computation is developed in our research. The purpose is to realize a system with an ability to implement a wide variety of Evolutionary Computation applications. In this ...
PCI bus connects MizzouRISC to PC
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
This paper covers the design of a PCI transmission controller to make a 32-bit microprocessor MizzouRISC be a co-processor for a PC. The co-processor communicates with the PC through the PCI bus, and works as a target ...
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 ...
An evolutionary framework for matching geospatial object configurations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This thesis presents a framework for modeling and comparing the spatial configuration of sets containing two-dimensional geospatial objects. This situation can arise in the conflation of a hand or machine drafted map to a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fall detection system using low cost computing and online communication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Falls are prevalent among elderly and sometime may result in fatal injuries, which impacts their ability of independent living. Thus, a reliable as ...
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 ...
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 ...
Investigation of the relative amplitude method in detecting early illness
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this study, we examine the relative amplitude - a circadian rhythm measure, as a potential feature for early illness detection. We used data collected ...
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 ...
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 ...
