Unpaved road detection using optimized log Gabor filter banks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The revised unpaved road detection system (RURD) is a novel method for detecting unpaved roads in an arid environment from color imagery collected by a forward-looking camera mounted on a moving platform. The objective is ...
Sub-optimal and robust downlink beamforming in wireless networks with imperfect channel state information
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The rapid growth in internet applications such as video streaming enforce the researcher to explore a new wireless technique to ensure high signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) at the end users, leading to high quality ...
Non-invasive monitoring of vital signs using recliner chair and respiratory pattern analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In-home monitoring has the potential to help track health changes for older adults with chronic health conditions, thereby making early treatment possible when exacerbations arise. A recliner chair is often used by older ...
Multicriteria pathfinding in uncertain simulated environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Multicriteria decision-making problems arise in all aspects of daily life and form the basis upon which high-level models of thought and behavior are built. These problems present various alternatives to a decision-maker, ...
Learning human poses in natural scenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The task of human pose estimation in natural scenes is to determine the precise pixel locations of body keypoints. It is very important for many ...
A novel approach for treating resistant hypertension using a controlled-pump accumulator relief device
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Hypertension contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. While many hypertensive patients respond to drug therapy, a growing number of these cases are called resistant hypertension (RH), when patients ...
General purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
We developed a "General Purpose Evolutionary Algorithm Testbed" through which a wide variety of evolutionary algorithms can be implemented in hardware, quickly and with a little hardware knowledge. A user interface allows ...
Temporal decision making using unsupervised learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
With the explosion of ubiquitous continuous sensing, on-line streaming clustering continues to attract attention. The requirements are that the streaming clustering algorithm recognize and adapt clusters as the data evolves, ...
Data-driven methods for analyzing ballistocardiograms in longitudinal cardiovascular monitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US; about 48% of American adults have one or more types of CVD. The importance of continuous monitoring of the older population, for early detection of ...
