A system for access and administration of fault-tolerant web services
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Web Services, a recent development in web technology, enables programs (services) on the World Wide Web (WWW) to communicate with each other. A program (web service) available on the WWW has to be robust to serve the vast ...
Sketch-based navigation for mobile robots using qualitative landmark states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In this work, a system for navigating a mobile robot along a sketched route is proposed. The sketch is drawn on a PDA screen by a human operator and contains approximate landmarks and a path, similar to a sketch provided ...
Adaptive bilateral extensor for image interpolation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A novel algorithm for image interpolation, referred to as adaptive bilateral extensor interpolation, is proposed in this thesis. It combines useful features of an extensor based algorithm, utilizing a non-linear mapping ...
Heuristics for searching chemical structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Chemical and biochemical structure databases are useful for retrieving information to a wide range of users, ranging from a high school student to a medical research scientist. These databases provide the user with various ...
Real-time visualization of massive imagery and volumetric datasets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The visualization of extremely large multi-dimensional datasets requires highly scalable geometric algorithms. We consider an algorithm to be scalable if its complexity remains constant independent of the size of the ...
Clinical content tracking system: an efficient request tracking via a graphical user interface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
We propose a new system called Clinical Content Tracking System (CCTS) that is a pre-component of a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) system. CCTS is a tool that helps physicians build clinical contents, in an ...
A compact representation for 3D animation using octrees and affine transformation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We present a new and compact 3D representation for non-rigid objects using motion vectors between two consecutive frames. Our method relies on an ...
Fast and adaptive H.264/AVC video coding for network based applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
As the state of the art video coding standard, H.264/AVC achieves significant coding performance gain comparing to its predecessors. Nevertheless, the advance comes at huge complexity increase of the encoder, which may ...
Transcoding transport stream mpeg2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Video conferencing provides students with the opportunity to remotely attend classes and participate in a 2-way communication with the teacher. Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute at the University of Missouri - ...
Domain-concept mining : an efficient on-demand data mining approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Traditional brute-force association mining approaches, when applied to large datasets, are thorough but inefficient due to computational complexity. A low global minimum probability threshold can worsen this complexity by ...
Experimental study of localization in sensor networks and design of adaptive localization algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We design an experimental framework to evaluate localization methods for sensor networks. We use this framework to evaluate three existing localization ...
Estimation and tracking of elder activity levels for health event prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Significant declines in quality of life for elders in assisted living communities are typically triggered by health events. Given the necessary ...
Genome scale meta analysis of microarrays for biological inferences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
In this present era of high-throughput technologies, meta-analysis is being widely used to integrate multiple similar high throughput studies. Here we propose a novel framework for applying meta-analysis techniques on ...
Knowledge-driven multidimensional indexing for content-based information retrieval
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Media data are being generated at rates unimaginable only years ago. We face challenges in providing efficient and accurate access to media content, ...
DiffServ overlay multicast for videoconferencing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
In this dissertation a framework for implementing videoconference in a DiffServ network (DiffServ Overlay Multicast) is proposed. DiffServ Overlay Multicast uses an overlay multicast algorithm for calculating the multicast ...
Building hybrid multicast by combining IP and application layers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This work presents new multicasting algorithm called Hybrid Multicast (HM). HM is a software solution that implements the integration between ALM and IP Multicast. The proposed solution always tries to use IP Multicast ...
Efficient protein tertiary structure retrievals and classifications using content based comparison algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Functionally important sites of proteins are potentially conserved to specific three-dimensional structural folds. To understand the structure-to-function relationship, life sciences researchers and biologists have a great ...
Sylview: a visualization system for forest management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In the field of forestry, the output of forest growth models provide a wealth of detailed information that can often be difficult to analyze and perceive due to presentation either as plain text summary tables or static ...
Content extraction, analysis, and retrieval for plant visual traits studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
In recent years, automatic content extraction, analysis and retrieval for plant visual trait studies play a more important role than ever before, because traditional manual processing suffers two major issues: excessive ...
