Adaptive clustering and transmission range adjustment for topology control in wireless sensor networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)A wireless sensor network (WSN) is characterized by a limited energy supply and a large number of nodes. Topology control (TC) as one of the main ways to control energy consumption in WSNs has been the focus of a considerable ... -
Statistical optimization of acoustic models for large vocabulary speech recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)This dissertation investigates optimization of acoustic models in speech recognition. Two new optimization methods are proposed for phonetic decision tree (PDT) search and Hidden Markov modeling (HMM)-- the knowledge-based ... -
Thermal image analysis using calibrated video imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)This research work introduces new techniques for temperature measurement that utilizes visual spectrum of light. A periscope with a CCD camera is used to capture the image from a high temperature gas fired furnace and ...
