  • A Structural Theorem For Shortest Vertex-Disjoint Paths Computation in Planar Graphs

    Creator:
    Zafarani, Farzad
    Abstract:
    Given k terminal pairs (s₁,t₁),(s₂,t₂),..., (s[subscript k],t[subscript k]) in an edge-weighted graph G, the k Shortest Vertex-Disjoint Paths problem is to find a collection P₁, P₂,..., P[subscript k] of vertex-disjoint paths with minimum total length, where P[subscript i] is an s[subscript i]-to-t[subscript i] path. As a special case of the...

  • Information space mapping with adaptive multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams

    Creator:
    Trubin, Stanislav I.
    Abstract:
    Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning creates Voronoi regions, with areas determined by the generators’ relative locations and weights. Especially in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions; i.e., finding weights that result in regions with predefined areas. In this thesis,...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....

  • A Study of Planar and Spherical Stereographics for Visualization

    Creator:
    AlSalehy, Ali S.
    Abstract:
    ”Until relatively recently, mankind was not aware that there was a separable binocular depth sense. Through the ages, people like Euclid and Leonardo understood that we see different images of the world with each eye. But it was Wheatstone who in 1838 explained to the world, with his stereoscope and...

  • Visualizing Large Datasets on Memory and Performance Constrained Mobile Devices

    Creator:
    Schultz, Chris
    Abstract:
    Graphics hardware in mobile devices has become more powerful, allowing rendering techniques such as ray-cast volume rendering to be done at interactive rates. This increase of performance provides desktop capabilities combined with the portability of a tablet. Volumes can demand a high amount of memory in order to be loaded...

  • New Approaches to Depth-Based Render Techniques Using Pixel Synchronization

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Bryan
    Abstract:
    As the nonstop advancement of graphics hardware continues, new features are being added to the graphics pipeline on a regular basis. One of these advancements is called Pixel Synchronization, which allows a graphics programmer more power with certain types of data structures that may be accessed by multiple shader units...

  • Region based image matching for 3D object recognition

    Creator:
    Liu, Tian
    Abstract:
    3D object recognition is a very difficult and important problem in computer vision, arising in a wide range of applications. Typically in 3D object recognition, interest points are extracted from images and then matched. A shortcoming of this approach is that points only carry local visual information. Therefore, there could...

  • Benchmarking and Programming Practices for the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor

    Creator:
    Leslie, William
    Abstract:
    The Intel Xeon Phi is a relative newcomer to the scientific computing scene. In the recent years, GPUs have been used extensively for mathematical simulations. The Xeon Phi is Intel’s response to the use of these cards. Like the GPU, it is highly parallelizable but can be programmed like a...

  • Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

    Creator:
    Meek, Moira H.
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

  • Design and Application of Variational Representations

    Creator:
    Smeltzer, Karl J.
    Abstract:
    Variability is an important and widely studied topic across domains such as version control, software product lines, and metaprogramming. This dissertation presents an investigation into the process of systematically adding variability to data structures and programs, leading to guidelines for variational data structures and implications for programs that create, manipulate,...
