  • Voxel based indirect illumination using spherical harmonics

    Creator:
    Rauwendaal, Randall
    Abstract:
    Realistic (ideally photorealistic) real-time rendering has remained an elusive goal in computer graphics. While photorealistic rendering has certainly been achieved at the expense of tremendous computational resources and corresponding rendering times; real-time rendering typically must accept a great number of compromises to achieve adequate performance, such as aliasing artifacts, the...

  • Volume analysis and visualization

    Creator:
    Khare, Ankit
    Abstract:
    3D datasets acquire great importance in the context of medical imaging. In this thesis we survey and enhance solutions to problems inherently associated with 3D datasets-processing time,noise and visualization. Efforts include development of a tool kit to provide a multi-threaded processing platform to cut processing time, produce real time visualization...

  • Visualizing oceanographic data using a cluster of Sony Playstation2s

    Creator:
    Yoon, Irwin
    Abstract:
    A cluster of computers can be used to render large amounts of data at very high resolutions. One application of clusters is scientific visualization, which often involves the display of large data sets. This paper describes a prototype system that allows oceanographers to interactively view oceanographic data using a cluster...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • Visual Analysis of Attorney Case Portfolios Over Time

    Creator:
    Nambirajan, Surendar
    Abstract:
    While individual portfolio diversity analysis is a well-studied problem in visualization, the visual analysis of individual or groups of portfolios, over time, has received little attention. Such analysis, however, is important to researchers who are interested in better understanding portfolio management behavior of experts as well as novices. We conducted...

  • View based, global design of access structures for relational databases

    Creator:
    Gündem, Taflan İmre
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation we consider the problem of automating the design of access structures for relational database systems. The main considerations are effective and rigorous utilization of the users' usage patterns, global treatment of the whole design and utilizing most of the commonly known access structures. We represent the usage...

  • Variant Annotation

    Creator:
    He, Jun
    Abstract:
    With the development of technologies in genome sequencing and variant detection, a huge number of variants are detected. To further analyze the variants, it requires an efficient tool to annotate the functional effect of variants. This project managed to develop an efficient program to annotate the functional effect of variants...

  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • Uncertainty in Deep Learning with Implicit Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Ratzlaff, Neale
    Abstract:
    The ability to extract uncertainties from predictions is crucial for the adoption of deep learning systems to safety-critical applications. Uncertainty estimates can be used as a failure signal, which is necessary for automating complex tasks where safety is a concern. Furthermore, current deep learning systems do not provide uncertainty estimates,...

  • Two Sides of a Coin: Adversarial-Based Image Privacy and Defending Against Adversarial Perturbations for Robust CNNs

    Creator:
    Rajabi, Arezoo
    Abstract:
    Emergence of highly accurate Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the capability to process large datasets, has led to their popularity in many applications, including safety/security-sensitive (e.g. disease recognition, self-driving cars). Despite the high accuracy of convolutional neural networks, they have been found to be susceptible to adversarial noise added to...
