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 ...
A protocol for simultaneous real time playback and full quality storage of streaming media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This research introduces the new problem of simultaneous streaming of a single media bitstream to multiple devices with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In particular, the research addresses simultaneous ...
Data-driven 3D shape modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
3D shape modeling is essential for computer to understand our real world. So far, 3D shaping modeling is still an open issue. There are too much raw data around, but there is no uniform or standard way to translate them ...
Building shape-shifting tries for fast IP lookup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used to communicate data over packet-switched internet works. The currently deployed version of the Internet ...
A new approach to data backup
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Backing up data in order to protect against its possible loss is important. As more and more data is stored the burden of storing large amounts of backup data becomes significant. This thesis discusses the design and ...
Confocal microscopy imaging analysis of plant morphodynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Pollen tubes are delivery mechanisms in a plant's reproductive cycle. Morphodynamic analysis of these microscopic structures provide biologists with insight into the inner workings of these structures. This thesis presents ...
A fast multiple longest common subsequence (MLCS) algorithm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) of multiple strings is an NP-hard problem, with many applications in the areas of bioinformatics and ...
Statistical inference in wireless sensor and mobile networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In recent years, wireless sensor networks have emerged as a cost effective alternative to traditional wired sensor systems. In the meantime, mobile networks have also gained many momentums. The two emerging networks share ...
New consensus-based algorithms for quality assessment in protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Two of the essential tasks in protein tertiary structure prediction are predicting quality and selecting the best quality model from given model structures. Finding solutions to these problems are fundamental to understanding ...
Temporal mining framework for risk reduction and early detection of chronic diseases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Chronic diseases significantly affect the quality of life of over 25 million Americans and are among the most common health problems. Due to the complexity of these diseases, it is difficult for clinicians to analyze trends ...
Design and implementation of a portable prTorrent simulator system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The absence of a system that could perform as both a P2P simulator and a P2P emulator poses a barrier to researchers and developers. The objective of ...
Applying visual routines in a cognitive model of visual analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Through years of experience, expert image analysts acquire knowledge which allows them to perform an in-depth analysis of images quickly and efficiently. This research aims to build a humanlike framework and cognitive model ...
Multi-index, multi-object content-based retrieval with spatial summarization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In recent years we have seen the development of several novel content-based retrieval (CBR) systems that have had success by focusing on a specific domain and exploiting domain-speci c information. CBR systems allow users ...
Refined repetitive searches and long identical multi-species elements in mammals and plants : Insights into structure, function and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
All of the information necessary to reproduce a living organism is contained in the DNA of its genome. Within the genomic sequence, there are subsequences called genes that are transcribed into RNA and translated into ...
