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 ... -
Automatic detection of explosive devices in infrared imagery using texture with adaptive background mixture models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Infrared cameras can be used to image unpaved roads containing buried explosive hazards where detection relies upon differences between settled and disturbed soil in addition to thermal emissivity. Used is a variation of ... -
Design and simulation of a compact radiating system for high power microwaves in the 4 to 6 GHz range
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)As high power microwave technologies have advanced, demands have called for sources and radiators to become more compact. The University of Missouri has designed and simulated a compact radiating system for a compact virtual ... -
Efficient estimators in closed-form for source localization and sensor network self-localization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Passive source localization is a fundamental problem that has received great research interests for decades in many applications. Perhaps the most common approach for localization is to derive certain measurements from the ... -
Implementation of finite impulse response (FIR) filter as test application on general purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A 19th order Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is implemented as a test application for Gpeat, a general purpose evolutionary algorithm testbed. ... -
Micromachined PDMS elastic post arrays for studying vascular smooth muscle cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)This thesis describes the design, modeling, fabrication and characterization of a micromachined array of high density 3-dimensional microposts (100 x 100) made of flexible material (silicone elastomers) for use to measure ... -
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 ... -
PIR sensing array for fall detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The purpose of the Fuzzy PIR Fall Detection Array is to keep the elderly safe by providing a means for an immediate response to falls while still allowing them to enjoy the same independence they felt before fall detection ... -
Planar detection using modified expectation maximization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)In this work the task of planar detection in an image pair is cast as an incomplete data problem where the parameters to be estimated are the ones that define the homographies induced by the planar regions in the scene. ... -
Significance-linked Connected Component Analysis Plus with new DOR and context model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this thesis, a new efficient wavelet image coding algorithm Significance-Linked Connected Component Analysis Plus (SLCCA+) is introduced. SLCCA+ ... -
Sound event detection and extraction for automatic music transcription
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation addresses the problem of automatic music transcription. Transcription is an open problem in the area of musical analysis and audio ... -
Source localization in the presence of sensor manifold uncertainties and synchronization error
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Passive source localization is a commonly used technology which can be applied to many areas. A lot of positioning methods have been derived on this subject, such as time of arrivals (TOAs), time differences of arrival ...
