  • Image feature detection and matching for biological object recognition

    Creator:
    Deng, Hongli
    Abstract:
    Image feature detection and matching are two critical processes for many computer vision tasks. Currently, intensity-based local interest region detectors and local feature-based matching methods are used widely in computer vision applications. But in some applications, such as biological object recognition tasks, within-class changes in pose, lighting, color, and texture...

    Lowe, Lianna M.
    Abstract:
    According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated 1.4 million blind children in the world, of whom approximately 300,000 live in Africa.

  • Application of the Variational Database Management System to Schema Evolution and Software Product Lines

    Creator:
    Li, Qiaoran
    Abstract:
    As a general solution to the problem of managing structural and content variability in relational databases, in previous work we have introduced the Variational Database Management System (VDBMS). VDBMS consists of a representation of a variational database (VDB) and a corresponding typed query language (v-query). However, since this is a...

  • Nesting ecology of mallards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

    Creator:
    Rickerson, Eric V.
    Abstract:
    Although widely studied in many portions of North America, little is known about the specific habitat requirements of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) during the breeding season in western Oregon. I radio-marked 72 female mallards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in March-April 1995-96 to document wetland habitat selection during pre-nesting...

  • Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Khan, Fariba
    Abstract:
    Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

  • Variational Satisfiability Solving

    Creator:
    Young, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    Over the last two decades, satisfiability and satisfiability-modulo theory (SAT/SMT) solvers have grown powerful enough to be general purpose reasoning engines throughout software engineering and computer science. However, most practical use cases of SAT/SMT solvers require not just solving a single SAT/SMT problem, but solving sets of related SAT/SMT problems....
