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 ... -
Collision free path planning algorithms for robot navigation problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Path planning problem, including maze navigation is a challenging topic in robotics. Indeed, a significant amount of research has been devoted to this problem in recent years. Genetic algorithm is a popular approach that ... -
Embedded system design and power-rate-distortion optimization for video encoding under energy constraints
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The portable devices used in video communication application are powered by batteries. Video encoding schemes, however, are often computationally intensive and energy-demanding, even after being fully optimized with existing ... -
Improving performance for adaptive filtering with voice applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Adaptive filtering is a common solution to many signal processing applications in which the environments are time varying. Its performance is limited ... -
Near field microwave imaging techniques for embedded object detection and shape reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)A method for the detection, imaging and reconstruction of an embedded object through the application of a near field, frequency-synthesized microwave pulse is described. The work describes an alternate detection and ... -
Thermal management in GaAs/AlGaAs laser diode structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Due to the advancement of nanotechnology, understanding the heat transport mechanism in nano-scale devices has become a crucial factor in describing ...
