  • Incorporating labeled features into image classification using generalized expectation

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis
    Abstract:
    Image classification is a difficult problem, often requiring large training sets to get satisfactory results. However this is a task that humans perform very well, and incorporating user feedback into these learning algorithms could help reduce the dependency on large amounts of labeled training data. This process has already been...

  • Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

    Creator:
    Forrest, Darren J.
    Abstract:
    Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

  • A methodology to reduce the strain on hydro turbines using advanced life extending control of multiple energy storage systems

    Creator:
    Brosig, Sean G.
    Abstract:
    Over the last 20 years, there has been rapid growth in the amount of installed wind power in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in the Columbia River Gorge. The variable and non-dispatchable nature of this resource requires that it be balanced in some form by other sources on the grid. In...

  • Classifier Chains for Multi-Label Classification with Incomplete Labels

    Creator:
    Almuallim, Jafer
    Abstract:
    Many methods have been explored in the literature of multi-label learning, ranging from simple problem transformation to more complex method that capture correlation among labels. However, mostly all existing works do not address the challenge with incomplete label data. The goal of this project is to extend the work of...

  • Navigation in Mobile Virtual Environments: The future of mobile devices is aLIVE!

    Creator:
    Carr, Justin
    Abstract:
    The dream of ubiquitous virtual reality (VR) tools has been a powerful presence in pop culture since before the turn of the century. But for all of its charm, VR applications are few and far between due to the high cost of hardware setups and cumbersome form factor. This project...

  • Fine-grained detection and localization of objects in images

    Creator:
    Feng, Yaofei
    Abstract:
    Object recognition is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Recognition is required by many applications. This thesis presents a distance based approach to recognize objects. We are interested in objects that belong to very similar classes, where each class has large variations. This problem is called fine-grained object recognition. Given...

  • Passive health monitoring with wirelessly powered medical devices

    Creator:
    House, Samuel
    Abstract:
    The proliferation of body worn autometric devices has been enabled by advances in low-power electronics and fueled by the quantified-self movement. These devices range in complexity from pedometers to clinical vital sign measurement. They all share the same drawback, typically the most expensive and heaviest component, the battery. The future...

  • Micropower incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Chen, Chia-Hung
    Abstract:
    Incremental ADCs (IADCs) have many advantages for low-frequency high-accuracy data conversion—they are easy to multiplex between channels, need simpler digital decimation filter, and allow extended counting with a Nyquist-rate ADC. A single-loop incremental ADC was designed and fabricated in 90 nm for a biosensor interface circuit. It incorporates one integrator,...

  • Flexible dual TCP/UDP streaming for H.264 HD video over WLANs

    Creator:
    Zhao, Jing
    Abstract:
    High Definition video streaming over WLANs faces many challenges because video data requires not only data integrity but also frames have strict playout deadline. Traditional streaming methods that rely solely on either UDP or TCP have difficulties meeting both requirements because UDP incurs packet loss while TCP incurs delay. This...

  • Energy-efficient routing for delay-constrained data traffic in linear wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Alesaimi, Hani
    Abstract:
    Linear wireless sensor networks (LWSN) are special class of wireless sensor networks where sensor nodes are deployed in a straight line. Monitoring industrial pipelines, railroads, tunnels, power lines, and borders are applications of LWSNs. Wireless sensors are tiny devices with limited energy resources; therefore, efficient energy routing in LWSNs is...
