  • 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...

  • Sequential supervised learning and conditional random fields

    Creator:
    Ashenfelter, Adam J.
    Abstract:
    Supervised learning is concerned with discovering the relationship between example sets of features and their corresponding classes. The traditional supervised learning formulation assumes that all examples are independent from one another. The order of the examples contains no information. Nonetheless, many problems have a sequential nature. Classifiers for these problems...

  • An ultra low voltage micropower GPS receiver RF front-end for wildlife tracking

    Creator:
    Heiberg, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    A fully integrated CMOS GPS receiver RF front end optimized for low power operation is presented. The system operates with a supply voltage down to 250 mV. A prototype has been fabricated in a 0.13μm CMOS process and includes a low voltage LNA, quadrature oscillators, and quadrature mixers. It exhibits...

  • Analysis and modeling of single-ended and differential spiral inductors in silicon-based RFICs

    Creator:
    Watson, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    A new comprehensive wide-band compact modeling methodology for single-ended spiral inductors and differential spiral inductors is presented. The new modeling methodology creates an equivalent circuit model consisting of frequency-independent circuit elements for use in circuit simulators. A fast automated extraction procedure is developed for determining the circuit element values from...

  • Instruction fetching, scheduling, and forwarding in a dynamic multithreaded processor

    Creator:
    Browning, Adam W.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic multithreaded processors attempt to increase the performance of a single sequential program by dynamically extracting threads from sources such as loop iterations. The scheduling of instructions in such a processor plays a vital role in the amount of thread level parallelism that can be extracted and thus the overall...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • Crowdsourcing via Pairwise Co-occurrences: Identifiability and Algorithms

    Creator:
    Ibrahim, Shahana
    Abstract:
    Crowdsourcing is a popular paradigm to address the high demands for labeled data in big data deluge. It aims to produce accurate labels by effectively integrating noisy, non-expert labeling from crowdsourced workers (annotators). The machine learning community has been studying effective crowdsourcing methods for many years, and many models and...

  • Evaluation of UWB techniques for indoor position locationing

    Creator:
    Chou, Tai Chian
    Abstract:
    Time of Arrival (TOA) is a popular technique used for geolocation. This thesis evaluates the use of TOA techniques indoors. The accuracy of measuring distances using TOA is dependent on the bandwidth of the system and the multipath conditions between the receiver and transmitter. System bandwidth has a significant effect...

  • 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...

  • Understanding the ultra-wideband channel within a computer chassis

    Creator:
    Redfield, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in computing technology have generated a demand for more streamlined and effective test systems. By replacing traditional in-chassis wired interconnects with a broadcast wireless system, fault detection and error susceptibility will drastically improve, input/output capabilities will expand, and routing complexity will decrease. Ultra-wideband impulse radio's (UWB-IR) characteristic multipath-immunity...
