  • Automatic Detection of Possessions and Shots from Raw Basketball Videos

    Creator:
    Terhuja, Vikedo
    Abstract:
    Sports analytics is rapidly evolving today through the use of computer vision systems that automatically extract huge amount of information inherently present in multimedia data without much human assistance. This information can facilitate a better understanding of patterns and strategies in various sports. However, for non-professional teams, due to expense...

  • Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

    Creator:
    Strauss, Paul J.
    Abstract:
    An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...

  • New learning modes for sequential decision making

    Creator:
    Judah, Kshitij
    Abstract:
    This thesis considers the problem in which a teacher is interested in teaching action policies to computer agents for sequential decision making. The vast majority of policy learning algorithms o er teachers little flexibility in how policies are taught. In particular, one of two learning modes is typically considered: 1)...

  • The density signature

    Creator:
    Migler-VonDollen, Theresa
    Abstract:
    In real networks, identifying dense regions is of great importance. For example, in a network that represents academic collaboration, authors within the densest component of the graph tend to be the most prolific. Dense subgraphs often identify communities in social networks. And dense subgraphs can be used to discover regulatory...

  • Hierarchical graphical models for activity recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Amer, Mohamed R.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of recognizing human activities in videos. Our focus is on activities with stochastic structure, where the activities are characterized by variable space-time arrangements of actions, and conducted by a variable number of actors. These activities occur frequently in sports and surveillance videos. They may appear...

  • Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

    Creator:
    Kannegulla, Akash
    Abstract:
    The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

  • Cryptanalysis and enhancement of authentication protocols

    Creator:
    Kim, Minho
    Abstract:
    Authentication protocols play important roles in network security. A variety of authentication protocols ranging from complex public-key cryptosystems to simple password-based authentication schemes have been proposed. However, currently there is no fully secure authentication scheme that can resist all known attacks. When a user authentication is performed over an insecure...

  • Characteriscts of FSO Channel in WIFO

    Creator:
    Wang, songtao
    Abstract:
    With explosive growth of Internet access from smart phones and tablets, increasing bandwidth for WIFI system is badly needed. Depending on two years’ research, we produced a novel communication system called WIFO system, which integrates both RF (Radio Frequency) and FSO (Free Space Optical) techniques. WIFO system can significantly increase...

  • Quantum dots-fullerene based molecular beacons for highly sensitive DNA detection

    Creator:
    Liu, Ye
    Abstract:
    We demonstrated a low-cost and high-sensitivity DNA detection method using quantum dot-fullerene based molecular beacons (MBs) and magnetic nanoparticles. The MB tethered magnetic nanoparticles can be well dispersed in analytes for efficient DNA capture and concentrated by an external magnetic field for enhanced fluorescence signal detection. The detection requires only...

  • Assessment of High Mobility Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The trend towards higher resolution, faster refresh rate active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) as well as the emergence of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is driving the demand for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (AOS TFTs) with higher mobility. A physics-based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is...
