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 ... -
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 ... -
Wireless sensor network aided search and rescue in trails
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)In recent years, wireless sensor networks have been used in applications of data gathering and target localization across large geographical areas. In this thesis, we study the issues involved in applying wireless sensor ...
