A 3D-imaging system for phenotyping of root systems in hydroponic substrate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Applications of parallel computing in robotics problems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Many typical robotics problems involve search in high-dimensional spaces, where real-time execution is hard to be achieved. This thesis presents two case studies of parallel computation in such robotics problems. More ... -
A biologically inspired optical flow system for motion detection and object identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Optical flow is possibly the best known method for motion segmentation. However its application is restricted to offline processing as it requires extensive computational resources and time. This thesis explores an optical ... -
Bridging the gap between local and global approaches for 3D object recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Cellular neural network virtual machine for graphics hardware with applications in image processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The inherent massive parallelism of cellular neural networks makes them an ideal computational platform for kernel-based algorithms and image processing. General-purpose GPUs provide similar massive parallelism, but it can ... -
A hierarchical framework for pattern recognition using source signal separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)In this research, a hierarchical framework that exploits the use of a novel source signal separation technique is posed and explored. This framework takes advantage of the Guided Under-determined Source Signal Separation ... -
A model-based, generative and stochastic method for human motion capture using hierarchical particle filters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Searching in probability spaces can prove to be an impractical task due to the high- dimensionality of the state vector. In the context of tracking ... -
Pattern recognition of mixed signals using guided under-determined source signal separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)In typical problems involving pattern recognition, the challenge lies in selecting a good set of features and in devising a reliable algorithm to recognize any particular vector of such features. In general, even when noise ... -
Pattern recognition through source signal separation /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In typical problems involving pattern recognition, the challenge lies in selecting a good set of features and in devising a reliable algorithm to identify the class of learned patterns that most resembles the observed ... -
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. ... -
Target geolocation from airborne video without terrain data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The task of geolocating targets from airborne video is required for many applications in surveillance, law enforcement, reconnaissance, etc. The usual ...
