  • Image thinning by hexagonal grid

    Creator:
    Carstens, Brian
    Abstract:
    One of the tasks of image processing systems is to characterize images by thinning, or skeletonizing techniques. The standard method, based on a disk growing technique, often results in disconnected skeletons. Since the standard technique is based on a square grid system, the disk shape is also square. The. purpose...

  • The empire infrastructure for testing experimentation

    Creator:
    Davia, Brian
    Abstract:
    It is widely believed that there is not enough experimentation in the field of computer science. One area in particular in which additional experimentation is needed involves regression testing of large, real software. Regression testing is the expensive process of validating changes made to previously tested software. One reason why...

  • A tutorial interface for a problem-solving production system

    Creator:
    Lantz, Brian Scott
    Abstract:
    The system described is an interface between a student and a problem-solving production system that solves some class of problems. Its purpose is to help a student learn some part of the realm of problem solving. As a student attempts to solve a problem the system controls the firing of...

  • Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

    Creator:
    Molotkov, Alexander
    Abstract:
    The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

  • A parallel implementation of a fluid flow simulation using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Vertanen, Keith D.
    Abstract:
    The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

  • AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Steele, Evan T.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • An evaluation of game controllers and tablets as controllers for interactive TV applications

    Creator:
    Cox, Dale J.
    Abstract:
    There is a growing interest in bringing online and streaming content to the television. Gaming platforms such as the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are at the center of this digital convergence; platforms for accessing new media services. This presents a number of interface challenges, as controllers designed for gaming...
