Enhancing Facial Recognition: A Comparative Analysis of Image Preprocessing Techniques in PCA, KL Expansion and SVD

Creator:: Tuffour, Prince A.
Abstract:: Facial recognition has become increasingly important in recent years, due to the wide range of applications it has in fields such as security, surveillance, and human-computer interaction. Three popular methods for facial recognition are the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Karhunen-Loeve Expansions, which is fundamentally a continuous form of PCA but...

Polynomial Chaos Expansions for Random Ordinary Differential Equations

Creator:: McKenzie, Brian
Abstract:: We consider numerical methods for finding approximate solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parameters distributed with some probability by the Generalized Polynomial Chaos (GPC) approach. In particular, we consider those with forcing functions that have a random parameter in both the scalar and vector case. We then consider linear...

Electromagnetic Inverse Problem for Relaxation Time Distribution in the Time-Domain

Creator:: Armentrout, Megan
Abstract:: We consider wide bandwidth electromagnetic pulse interrogation problems for the determination of dielectric response parameters in complex dispersive materials. We couple Maxwell’s equations with an auxiliary ODE modeling dielectric polarization. A problem of particular interest is to identify parameters in a standard polarization model (e.g., Debye or Lorentz) using time-domain...

The Shade Credit Incentive Landscapes of the McKenzie/Willamette Confluence

Creator:: Shaub, Nathan C.
Abstract:: Increasing population and land use decisions have had a negative effect on the aquatic ecosystems in the Willamette River Basin. One result is elevated temperatures in many of the Basin’s streams, which adversely affect the fish that live in these streams. There are several regulatory mechanisms in place to improve...

Predicting the most likely state for a basic geophysical flow : theoretical framework

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: Statistical mechanics studies the probability that a system is in a certain state given one or more constraints which are usually fixed conserved quantities. It is a particularly useful and powerful approach for problems with a large number of degrees of freedom where a complete knowledge of the system is...

The Social Construction of the Metallic Mining Industry: The Divergent Cases of the Mining Moratorium Bill (Wisconsin) and the Permit Streamlining Bill (Minnesota)

Creator:: Harewood, Alessandra G and Harewood, Alessandra G.
Abstract:: Hardrock mining is associated with severe environmental and economic costs. Of particular concern is acid mine drainage which has contaminated several thousand kilometers of streams across the United States representing a formidable danger to watershed health. Given the high risks of this activity, ensuring high regulatory standards may be an...

Surface-water contaminant routing using a digital stream information system

Creator:: Broad, Tyson Megee
Abstract:: The U.S. Geological Survey is proposing to redesign its site-specific water-use data base into a topologic site-specific water-use data base that depicts water use as an integral part of the hydrologic cycle. The new data base is to be compatible with the theory of geographic information systems. By placing water...

A transparent overlay for computer-based presentations

Creator:: Modem, Chandrakanth L.
Abstract:: The project aims at building an application that would simulate a transparency that can either be overlaid on top of the graphical display of another application or used as a stand-alone by accepting input from a keyboard or a mouse to enhance a presentation. The project provides an environment to...

Analysis of needs-based proposal for a workshop on coastal resources management for specialists from Mexico and the US

Creator:: Hobgood, Nick
Abstract:: Building institutional and human capacity for integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is increasingly recognized as critical to the future of sustainable development in coastal states. Agenda 21 of the UNCED conference has underscored the urgency of capacity building for ICZM as have other international bodies such as the North American...

Production of an animated cartography sample for teaching and instruction, with musings on the nature and usefulness of animated maps

Creator:: Whaley, Kristine A.
Abstract:: Animated cartography is still a new field. It has been experimented with for years, but it has not gained general usage except partially in use by the news media. Nevertheless, certain subjects cry out for displaying the patterns of movement over time, such as historical patterns of migration and settlement,...
