This thesis presents an algorithm that estimates motion in image sequence using wavelet transform. The motion detection is performed under unfavorable conditions of background movement, change of brightness, and noise. The algorithm is tolerant to brightness changes, noise, and small movement in the background. The false alarm rate of motion...
A steady state, axial flow thermal conductivity test apparatus was designed and constructed to operate between room temperature and approximately 4 Kelvin, and to be compatible with existing electronic instrumentation and a continuous flow cryostat. The test design included a radiation shield that had its temperature profile matched to that...
Gymnomyces is an ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete genus in the family Russulaceae estimated to contain less than 50 species worldwide, with 23 species known to occur in the Pacific Northwest. Gymnomyces species are common in Pacific Northwest forests that include Pseudotsuga, Abies, Tsuga, and Quercus. They produce sequestrate (truffle-like) sporocarps with ornamented...
PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental
margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net
tow stations along the Newport Hydro line, and to make continuous observations of currents using
ADCP and of surface-layer temperature, salinity and...
