Lossless Image Compression Using Super-Spatial Structure Prediction
(IEEE, 2010-04)
We recognize that the key challenge in image
compression is to efficiently represent and encode high-frequency image structure components, such as edges, patterns, and textures. In this work, we develop an efficient ...
Activity Analysis, Summarization, and Visualization for Indoor Human Activity Monitoring
(IEEE, 2008-11)
In this work, we study how continuous video monitoring and intelligent video processing can be used in eldercare to assist the independent living of elders and to improve the
efficiency of eldercare practice. More ...
Automated Estimation of Elder Activity Levels from Anonymized Video Data
(IEE, 2009-09)
Significant declines in quality of life for elders in assisted living communities are typically triggered by health events. Given the necessary information, such events can often be predicted, and thus, be avoided or reduced ...
Fine-Granularity Transmission Distortion Modeling for Video Packet Scheduling Over Mesh Networks
(IEEE, 2010-01)
Packet scheduling is a critical component in multi-session video streaming over mesh networks. Different video packets have different levels of contribution to the overall video presentation quality at the receiver side. ...
Image-based Visual Servoing of a Real Robot Using a Quaternion Formulation
(IEEE, 2008-09)
In this paper we present the results from our visual servoing system for a real industrial robot. In contrast to other visual servoing system in the literature, the one presented here, which was derived from [4], uses a ...
Accurate 3D Tracking of Rigid Objects with Occlusion Using Active Appearance Models
(IEEE, 2005)
In this paper we present a new method for tracking rigid objects using a modified version of the Active Appearance Model. Unlike most of the other appearance-based methods
in the literature, such as [3,5,6,9,11], our ...
Joint Source Channel Rate-Distortion Analysis for Adaptive Mode Selection and Rate Control in Wireless Video Coding
(IEEE, 2002-06)
experimental approaches for distortion estimation reported in the literature, this analytic model has very low computational complexity and implementation cost, which are highly desirable in wireless video applications. Simulation results show that this model...
Lowpass Filtering of Rate-Distortion Functions for Quality Smoothing in Real-Time Video Communication
(IEEE, 2005)
In variable-bit-rate (VBR) video coding, the video is pre-processed to collect sequence-level statistics, which are used
for global bit allocation in the actual encoding stage to obtain a smoothed video presentation ...
Home green home
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2012)
Six students take over one old house with a mission to use less and conserve more. Welcome to MU's Sustainahouse....
Adaptive Silhouette Extraction In Dynamic Environments Using Fuzzy Logic
(IEEE, 2006-07)
Extracting a human silhouette from an image is the enabling step for many high-level vision processing tasks, such as human tracking and activity analysis. In a
previous paper, we addressed some of the challenges in ...
Harvesting triplet excitons for application in polymer solar cells
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Triplet enhanced ladder-type poly (para-phenylene) polymer (PhLPPP) with covalently bound trace amounts of palladium blended with a fullerene derivative [[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)] shows power ...
PCE: Piece-wise Convex Endmember Detection
(IEEE, 2010-06)
A new hyperspectral endmember detection method
that represents endmembers as distributions, autonomously partitions the input data set into several convex regions, and simultaneously
determines endmember distributions ...
The economic of farmers, system, management, and technology renewable energy based
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2022)
The agriculture sector has important role in economic development of Indonesia. The village economy in Indonesia is dependent on agriculture sector. The challenges of energy crisis and not acceptable to the farmers for ...
Peak Transform for Efficient Image Representation and Coding
(IEEE, 2007-07)
In this work, we introduce a nonlinear geometric transform, called peak transform (PT), for efficient image representation
and coding. The proposed PT is able to convert
high-frequency signals into low-frequency ones, ...
TigerPlace: An Innovative Educational and Research Environment
(AAAI, 2008)
A one of a kind project based on the concept of aging in place is in progress at the University of Missouri (MU). This project required legislation in 1999 and 2001 to be fully realized. A specialized home health agency was developed by the MU...
Coregulation of Ion Channel Conductances Preserves Output in a Computational Model of a Crustacean Cardiac Motor Neuron
(Society for Neuroscience, 2010)
Similar activity patterns at both neuron and network levels can arise from different combinations of membrane and synaptic conductance values. A strategy by which neurons may preserve their electrical output is via cell type-dependent balances...
Energy-Aware Portable Video Communication System Design for Wildlife Activity Monitoring
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper, we introduce our recent research and development effort on energy-efficient portable video communication system design for wildlife activity monitoring. The
capability of seeing what an animal sees in the ...
The University's next ten years
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1969)
"These are the themes contained in the 64-page Long-range planning, published last month by the University. Two years in the making, the 10-year projection is the result of studies made by each campus and each academic ...
Researchers gang up on heart disease
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1968)
"At the University of Missouri, no one suggests that the Medical Center at Columbia is ready to try a human heart transplant of its own. But research and treatment of heart disease are going forward on many fronts."--Page 3
