  • Adaptive model-based motion estimation

    Creator:
    Crinon, Regis
    Abstract:
    A general discrete-time, adaptive, multidimensional framework is introduced for estimating the motion of one or several object features from their successive non-linear projections on an image plane. The motion model consists of a set of linear difference equations with parameters estimated recursively from a non-linear observation equation. The model dimensionality...

  • Stochastic properties of morphological filters

    Creator:
    Zhu, Feihong
    Abstract:
    Most of the existing research on mathematical morphology is restricted to the deterministic case. This thesis addresses the void in the results on the stochastic properties of morphological filters. The primary results include analysis of the stochastic properties of morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, closing and opening. Two unbiased...

  • Conditionally Gaussian processes in stochastic control theory

    Creator:
    Kolodziej, Wojciech Jan
    Abstract:
    An application of the theory of conditionally Gaussian random processes to filtering and stochastic control problems is presented here. The results due to Liptser and Shiryayev are proved to hold in the multidimensional case under somewhat relaxed conditions, when compared to the original ones. Such a generalization is required from...

  • Hybrid-Meshnet, a local area mesh network with distributed control

    Creator:
    Kang, Cheoul Shin
    Abstract:
    Hybrid-Meshnet is a communication subnet architecture for local area networks (LANs) designed to achieve a high degree of network performance and flexibility. These objectives are achieved by utilizing a dual channel structure. A token ring is used for short or prioritized data transmissions. A complimentary mesh network with arbitrary data...

  • Stability analysis of dynamic heat transfer

    Creator:
    Luo, Shyr Tung
    Abstract:
    The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an important safety feature of a nuclear power plant. Although the system theory is well established for linear systems described by ordinary differential equations, there is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed system, which is described by partial...

  • Observability and information structure of nonlinear systems

    Creator:
    Hwang, Chun Sik
    Abstract:
    An observability problem for both deterministic and stochastic systems is studied here. Deterministic observability is a determination of whether every state of the system is connected to the observation mechanism and how it is connected, if connected. On the other hand, stochastic observability discusses the "tightness" of the connection in...

  • Fatigue life, fatigue crack propagation and fracture toughness study of 7075 aluminum alloy subjected to thermomechanical processing

    Creator:
    Lee, Moon H. (Moon Hee), 1949-
    Abstract:
    Due to its high strength/weight ratio, 7075 aluminum alloy has been widely used as an aerospace material. However, it has relatively low fatigue strength and low fracture toughness in the T6 condition. Thermomechanical processing, including pre-cyclic loading and stretching at high and ambient temperatures, has been investigated with the aim...

  • Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua J.
    Abstract:
    The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    We are witnessing the rise of the data-driven science paradigm, in which massive amounts of data - much of it collected as a side-effect of ordinary human activity - can be analyzed to make sense of the data and to make useful predictions. To fully realize the promise of this...
