Accessibility and attitudinal barriers encountered by travelers with physical disabilities in China
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)In 2003, China Disabled Persons Federation [CDPF] estimated that there were more than 60 million people with disabilities in China. Eleven million were people with physical disabilities. Travel is beneficial for improving ... -
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 ... -
Algorithm for computation and visualization of weighted constrained Voronoi diagrams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A weighted Voronoi diagram (WVD) has been developed in order to regionalize or allocate space around a predetermined set of points or generators for the case that generator points have different weights reflecting their ... -
Automatic geospatial content summarization and visibility enhancement by dehazing in aerial imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The objective of this work is to develop a methodology to summarize the content of a long sequential geospatial video using a few geospatial coverage ... -
Firefly : web-based interactive tool for the visualization and validation of image processing algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Image analysis, in computer science, is defined as the process of extracting useful data from digital images for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Examples of this might include tracking objects in satellite imagery or ... -
Graphical user interface for interactive image measurement applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In today's research world, a lot of image measurement work are still being done in labor intensive and time consuming manual methods. Automate or ... -
Interactive web-based track editing and management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Image and video analysis is the process of extracting useful information from an image. With advances in optical and computational technologies, image and video analysis is becoming an increasingly important tool in ... -
Mobile image analysis for seed phenotyping
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Shape and size are among the most important seed characteristics measurements. This work presents an Android-based smartphone and tablet application ... -
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 ... -
Selected techniques for vehicle tracking and assessment in wide area motion imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Tracking of vehicles in wide area motion imagery (WAMI) is very important for civilian and military surveillance. Tracking in a dataset that is characterized by very large format video with an extremely wide field-of-view ... -
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 ... -
Video-based motion detection for stationary and moving cameras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)In real world monitoring applications, moving object detection remains to be a challenging task due to factors such as background clutter and motion, illumination variations, weather conditions, noise, and occlusions. As ... -
Web-based interactive editing and analytics for supervised segmentation of biomedical images
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
