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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Improved geo-referencing and prescreening for detection of buried explosive hazards in forward-looking infrared imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
A novel method of face verification based on EM algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
In this paper, we implement a novel joint Bayesian method based on the classical Bayesian face recognition method by Baback Moghaddam et al and a creative paper "Bayesian Face Revisited: A Joint Formulation". One face is ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Experimental study of random projections below the JL limit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Random projection is a method used to reduce dimensionality of desired objects with pair-wise distances preserved at a relatively high probability. The mathematical theory behind this is called the Johnson-Lindenstrauss ...
A 3D-imaging system for phenotyping of root systems in hydroponic substrate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
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 ...
Object detection and classification using shape feature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We develop a set of methods to represent and detect shapes in images. We first develop new shape descriptors that are robust to deformation while being ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
