Deep learning based nuclei detection for quantitative histopathology image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Quantitative analysis of histopathology images is important for both clinical purposes (e.g. to reduce/eliminate inter- and intra-observer variations in diagnosis) and research purposes (e.g. to understand the biological ... -
Software-defined measurement to support programmable networking for SoyKB
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Campuses are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud architectures for supporting big data science applications that require "on-demand" resources, which are not always available locally on-site. Policies at the campus edge for ... -
Indoor scene 3D modeling with single image
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)3D modeling is a fundamental and very important research area in computer vision and computer graphics. One specific category of this research field is indoor scene 3D modeling. Many efforts have been devoted to its ... -
A framework for histopathology image segmentation and classification
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)It is increasingly appreciated that tumor-stroma plays an integral part in cancer initiation, growth, and progression. Recently, it has been shown that the stromal elements of tumors hold prognostic as well as response-predictive ... -
Complexity reduction and visualization tool for RDF knowledge network application in precision medicine
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Precision medicine is one of the most rapidly emerging areas of research and development, crucial for improving patient care, but there is a lack of a comprehensive set of tools that are easy to use for analysis and ... -
Wearable sensing analysis : identifying alcohol drinking from daily physiological data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In practical psychology research, questionnaires and interviews with examinees are commonly used. Besides, to study about certain human behaviors such as our subject -- alcohol drinking craving, it usually lasts for several ... -
Appearance modeling for persistent object tracking in wide-area and full motion video
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)THESIS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY 2017. Abstract: Object tracking is a core element of computer vision and autonomous systems. As such single and multiple object tracking has been widely investigated especially for full ... -
Interactive image segmentation using a few seed-points
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Over the past two decades interactive methods for clinical and biomedical image segmentation have been investigated since the pioneering work of Live-Wire, Live-Lane [17] and Intelligent Scissors [1]. Fully automatic image ... -
Genome data analysis, protein function and structure prediction by machine learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The raw information of a typical human genome has been generated at 2001 by Human Genome Project. However, since there are a huge amount of data, it is still a big challenge for people to understand them, and extract useful ... -
Probabilistic graphical models for protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Computationally predicting the folded and functional three-dimensional structure of a protein molecule from its amino acid sequence with high degree of accuracy is critically important in structural bioinformatics and has ... -
Multi-modality fusion : registering photographs, videos, and LIDAR range scans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)2D images and 3D LIDAR range scans provide very different but complementing information about a single subject and, when registered, can be used for a variety of exciting applications. Video sets can be fused with a 3D ... -
Covariance methods in nonlinear model identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In many practical engineering and machine learning applications, it is necessary to identify an unknown transformation that maps a known or measured set of input states to a known or measured set of output states. Examples ... -
An examination of fast similarity search trees with gating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The emergence of complex data objects that must be indexed and queried in databases has created a need for access methods that are both generic and efficient. Traditional search algorithms that only check specified fields ... -
An algorithm for the automatic construction of Bayesian networks with limited domain knowledge, as applied to the prediction of economic and development indicators of 248 countries and world regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Humans have a natural tendency to express knowledge in terms of generalities, instead of individually measurable variables. However, to make for computers to make sense of a domain, information must be expressed in terms ... -
Activity identification from animal GPS tracks with spatial temporal clustering method DDB-SMoT
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)With various GPS devices or services growing rapidly, large amount of GPS track- ing data has been collected, both for human beings and wild animals. However, the raw GPS data cannot directly provide us with any valuable ... -
Towards deep learning on speech recognition for Khmer language
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In order to perform speech recognition well, a huge amount of transcribed speech and textual data in the target language must be available for system training. The high demand for language resources constrains the development ... -
Tornado intensity prediction based on environment elements at tornado events starting points
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)In this research, we analyze the behavior of tornado events which occurred in the State of Missouri between 1950-2013. The formation of tornadoes is a complex meteorological phenomenon which is still not fully understood ... -
Fast inpainting algorithm for real-time video inpainting problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The paper examines a simple and efficient method to solve the digital inpainting problem with a reasonable result by processing the information locally around the painting area. The method is based on a unique matrix ... -
