  • A Study on Graphics Quality in Smartphone Games

    Creator:
    Glenn, Shady E.
    Abstract:
    As of February 2012, approximately 46% of American adults own a smartphone. The graphics quality of these devices gets better each year. However, they still have many more limitations in graphics processing and storage space than desktop computers. This means that applications on these devices should focus on optimizing their...

  • Persona concept : system architecture and prototypes

    Creator:
    Subramanium, Mahesh
    Abstract:
    This project explores a security framework, called the Persona Concept, aimed at giving the user greater control over their private data in cyberspace, in particular, their electronic credentials. The background for the Persona Concept, along with the requirements identified can be found in three (3) technical publications produced by Kal...

  • Derivative-based relief mapping

    Creator:
    Tichenor, Michael
    Abstract:
    This project presents a new, and more versatile, method for performing Relief Mapping (also known as Parallax Occlusion Mapping), utilizing rates of change in texture coordinates across a polygon surface to calculate the texture sampling offsets used in the ray-tracing portion of the Relief Mapping algorithm. This new technique relies...

  • Comparison of the Longevities of Roman and Modern Construction Projects

    Creator:
    Taylor, David D.
    Abstract:
    Throughout Europe, Northern Africa, and the Near East, hundreds of Roman ruins lie scattered about. Many Roman aqueducts, bridges, roads, and even buildings remain standing over two thousand years after their construction, as functional as the day they were built. In the modern United States, however, many public works projects...

  • Development of a GPS-Based Transit Tracking System for Corvallis

    Creator:
    Urbanski, Daniel F.
    Abstract:
    Buses can be impractical for those who must adhere to a strict schedule or depend on them for emergencies. While variations from the official bus schedule are understandable and largely unavoidable, a lack of communication discourages adoption at a rate disproportionate with their actual likelihood. Even if a bus is...

  • Assessing quality attributes of open source software by mining low ceremony evidence

    Creator:
    Karve, Sanchit
    Abstract:
    Programmers often have to choose components online for reuse based on software quality. To help with this choice, most component repositories (SourceForge, CodeProject, etc.) provide information such as user ratings and reviews of components. However, the reusability of components is not immediately obvious from this material. To make things worse,...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

  • Predicting activity type from accelerometer data

    Creator:
    Zheng, Yonglei
    Abstract:
    The study of physical activity is important in improving people’s health as it can help people understand the relationship between physical activity and health. Accelerometers, due to its small size, low cost, convenience and its ability to provide objective information about the frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity, has...

  • Enhancing intelligent API tutors with information about how APIs are used in practice

    Creator:
    Krishnamoorthy, Vasanth
    Abstract:
    Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable software developers to utilize and create functionality that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch. Consequently, an essential part of software engineering training is for students to learn how to use APIs effectively. The existing jTutors system enables an...

  • 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...
