Safdetection:Sensor Analysis Based Fault Detection In Tightly-Coupledmulti-Robot Team Tasks, Xingyan Li
Safdetection:Sensor Analysis Based Fault Detection In Tightly-Coupledmulti-Robot Team Tasks, Xingyan Li
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation addresses the problem of detecting faults based on sensor analysis for tightly-coupled multi-robot team tasks. The approach I developed is called SAFDetection, which stands for Sensor Analysis based Fault Detection, pronounced “Safe Detection”. When dealing with robot teams, it is challenging to detect all types of faults because of the complicated environment they operate in and the large spectrum of components used in the robot system. The SAFDetection approach provides a novel methodology for detecting robot faults in situations when motion models and models of multi-robot dynamic interactions are unavailable. The fundamental idea of SAFDetection is to build …
Integration Of Spatial And Spectral Information For Hyperspectral Image Classification, Zheng Du
Integration Of Spatial And Spectral Information For Hyperspectral Image Classification, Zheng Du
Doctoral Dissertations
Hyperspectral imaging has become a powerful tool in biomedical and agriculture fields in the recent years and the interest amongst researchers has increased immensely. Hyperspectral imaging combines conventional imaging and spectroscopy to acquire both spatial and spectral information from an object. Consequently, a hyperspectral image data contains not only spectral information of objects, but also the spatial arrangement of objects. Information captured in neighboring locations may provide useful supplementary knowledge for analysis. Therefore, this dissertation investigates the integration of information from both the spectral and spatial domains to enhance hyperspectral image classification performance.
The major impediment to the combined spatial …

Dynamic Target Classification In Wireless Sensor Networks, Ying Sun
Masters Theses
Information exploitation schemes with high-accuracy and low computational cost play an important role in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This thesis studies the problem of target classification in WSNs. Specifically, due to the resource constraints and dynamic nature of WSNs, we focus on the design of the energy-efficient solutionwith high accuracy for target classification in WSNs.
Feature extraction and classification are two intertwined components in pattern recognition. Our hypothesis is that for each type of target, there exists an optimal set of features in conjunction with a specific classifier, which can yield the best performance in terms of classification accuracy using …

Extending Hardware Based Mandatory Access Controls To Multicore Architectures, Brian Lewis Sharp
Masters Theses
Memory based vulnerabilities have plagued the computer industry since the release of the Morris worm twenty years ago. In addition to buffer overflow attacks like the Morris worm, format strings, ret-libC, and heap double free() viruses have been able to take advantage of pervasive programming errors. A recent example is the unspecified buffer overflow vulnerability present in Mozilla Firefox 3.0. From the past one can learn that these coding mistakes are not waning. A solution is needed that can close off these security shortcomings while still being of minimal impact to the user. Antivirus software makers continuously overestimate the lengths …
