  • Sliding mode controller for robot manipulator

    Creator:
    Kang, Seong K.
    Abstract:
    The sliding mode controller, based on the theory of the Variable Structure System (VSS), is considered for a robot manipulator. By consideration of VSS theory, the nonlinear interactions of manipulator dynamics are suppressed by use of linear sliding equations, and VSS robustness with respect to the unknown physical manipulator parameter...

  • Predictive control using feedback- : a case study of an inverted pendulum

    Creator:
    Barrett, Spencer Brown
    Abstract:
    Vision is a flexible, non-contact sensor that can be used for position feedback in closed-loop control of dynamic systems. Current vision systems for industrial automation provide low sample rates and large sample delays relative to other types of position sensors. Poor sample rates and sample delays are a result of...

  • Convergence study for adaptive allpass filtering

    Creator:
    Oprisan, Paul
    Abstract:
    Adaptive filtering may be applied in areas where an optimal filtering algorithm may not be known a-priori and where the filtering operation may be non-stationary. This field, or more generally, the field of adaptive systems, is one which may be regarded as mature, having been the subject of considerable research...

  • Content-based color image retrieval

    Creator:
    Varanguien de Villepin, Audrey
    Abstract:
    A fully automated method for content-based color image retrieval is developed to extract color and shape content of an image. A color segmentation algorithm based on the k-mean clustering algorithm is used and a saturated distance is proposed to discriminate between two color points in the HSV color space. The...

  • Motion-based MPEG video summarization

    Creator:
    Colle, Olivier
    Abstract:
    A new, fully automated summarization algorithm of MPEG compressed videos is designed to address the challenge of content based video retrieval. This algorithm segments the MPEG stream motion vector magnitudes using a seed growing region technique. Following the spatial segmentation of each frame, an intra-frame class-merging operation is performed. The...

  • CytoSensor : an application for distributed bio-sensor networks

    Creator:
    Boichon, Bertrand
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design and develop a network of automated, distributed, living cell-based sensors, called CytoSensors. Their main role is to detect a variety of biological and chemical toxins. The system is designed to help researchers to carry out multitude of experiments, in order to build...

  • Motion detection algorithm using wavelet transform

    Creator:
    Lee, Jeongmin
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an algorithm that estimates motion in image sequence using wavelet transform. The motion detection is performed under unfavorable conditions of background movement, change of brightness, and noise. The algorithm is tolerant to brightness changes, noise, and small movement in the background. The false alarm rate of motion...

  • Web-based distributed applications for cytosensor

    Creator:
    Liew, Ji Seok
    Abstract:
    To protect the environment and save human lives, the detection of various hazardous toxins of biological or chemical origin has been a major challenge to the researchers at Oregon State University. Living fish cells can indicate the presence of a wide range of toxins by reactions such as changing color...

  • CytoSensor : system integration and human interface design

    Creator:
    Kiettrisalpipop, Voranon
    Abstract:
    CytoSensor system integration and design is driven by requirements generated by the need to complete biological experiment operations. The system is used for toxin-based detection which will identify and quantify unknown input toxins by using a biosensor based on a living fish chromatophore. The system consists of 3 main parts:...

  • Advanced image segmentation and data clustering concepts applied to digital image sequences featuring the response of biological materials to toxic agents

    Creator:
    Roussel, Nicolas
    Abstract:
    Image segmentation is the process by which an image is divided into number of regions. The regions are to be homogeneous with respect to some property. Definition of homogeneity depends mainly on the expected patterns of the objects of interest. The algorithms designed to perform these tasks can be divided...
