  • Toward computer vision for understanding American football in video

    Creator:
    Hess, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    In this work, I examine the problem of understanding American football in video. In particular, I present several mid-level computer vision algorithms that each accomplish a different sub-task within a larger system for annotating, interpreting, and analyzing collections of American football video. The analysis of football video is useful in...

  • Is Your Community College Technology Ready? An Assessment Instrument to Promote Technology Adoption

    Creator:
    Boehme, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Background: Calls by presidents and legislators to raise the U.S. college graduation rate to 60% by 2025 have required educational institutions to find ways to increase accessibility and quality while simultaneously reducing costs (Bautsch, 2018; Smith, 2017). Private foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are getting involved...

  • Import competition and strategic group behavior

    Creator:
    Nam, Kiseol
    Abstract:
    This study provides the model that first synthesizes strategic group theory with the New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) approach in the international trade analysis, and uses the annual group data (1953-1988) from the U.S. brewing industry with two strategic groups (national producers and regional producers) in the presence of growing...

  • Topologically-Guided Robotic Information Gathering

    Creator:
    McCammon, Seth
    Abstract:
    Information gathering tasks, such as terrestrial search and rescue, aerial inspection, and marine monitoring, require robotic unmanned systems to make decisions on how to travel within an environment to maximize or minimize a path-dependent information objective function. The distribution of information throughout the environment is the result of various processes,...

  • Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

    Creator:
    Panahi, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...
