  • 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...

  • Random access machine in secure multi-party computation

    Creator:
    Hu, Zhangxiang
    Abstract:
    Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a conceptual framework in cryptography. It allows distrusting parties engage in a protocol to perform a computational task while still maintain some secure properties. Most existing approaches are required to interpret functions as a boolean circuit. With the recent state-of-art circuit garbling scheme, the performance...

  • Layered rendering model for human teeth

    Creator:
    Shetty, Sudarshanram
    Abstract:
    This study introduces a layered model for rendering human teeth. Human teeth exhibit complex light interaction due to their layered structure. While the lighting responses of teeth have been studied in the dental industry for the production of realistic looking dentures, to our knowledge this is the first study of...

  • Hybrid computational voxelization using the graphics pipeline

    Creator:
    Rauwendaal, Randall
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an efficient computational voxelization approach that utilizes the graphics pipeline. Our approach is hybrid in that it performs a precise gap-free computational voxelization, employs fixed-function components of the GPU, and utilizes the stages of the graphics pipeline to improve parallelism. This approach makes use of the latest...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Object detection in biological images using a search-based framework

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a basic problem in computer vision, that of semantic labeling of images. Our work is aimed at object detection in biological images for evolutionary biology research. In particular, our goal is to detect nematocysts in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images. This biological domain presents challenges for existing...

  • Design and analysis of planar and multilevel inductors

    Creator:
    Phillips, Michael D. (Michael Donovan)
    Abstract:
    Industry today is pushing personal portable handheld communication de- vices, from cellular telephones to personal navigation systems, and society is embracing the push. The goal is to make compact multi-functional handheld products that can transfer information to those around us through high bandwidth mobile communications. These modules rely heavily on...

  • Ultra low capacitance RFIC probe

    Creator:
    Jacob, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    In Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) or high frequency digital ICs, there is a demand to probe the internal nodes for testing. The ultra low capacitance RFIC probe presented in his work is a flexible tool for these applications. The probe utilizes the coupling between a tungsten needle and the...

  • Learning MDP action models via discrete mixture trees

    Creator:
    Wynkoop, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses the problem of learning dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) models to support reinforcement learning. It focuses on learning regression tree models of the conditional probability distributions of the DBNs. Existing algorithms presume that the stochasticity in the domain can be modeled as a deterministic function with additive noise....

  • Zonal Resource Adequacy for Voltage Control

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...
