Use Of Microsoft Kinect In A Dual Camera Setup For Action Recognition Applications, Omar Ghassan Kayal
Use Of Microsoft Kinect In A Dual Camera Setup For Action Recognition Applications, Omar Ghassan Kayal
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Conventional human action recognition methods use a single light camera to extract all the necessary information needed to perform the recognition. However, the use of a single light camera poses limitations which can not be addressed without a hardware change. In this thesis, we propose a novel approach to the multi camera setup. Our approach utilizes the skeletal pose estimation capabilities of the Microsoft Kinect camera, and uses this estimated pose on the image of the non-depth camera. The approach aims at improving performance of image analysis of multiple camera, which would not be as easy in a typical multiple …
State Controlled Object Oriented Programming, Jamil Ahmed
State Controlled Object Oriented Programming, Jamil Ahmed
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis, we examine an extension to the idea of object oriented programming to make programs easier for people and compilers to understand. Often objects behave differently depending on the history of past operations as well as their input that is their behavior depends on state. We may think of the fields of an object as encoding two kinds of information: data that makes up the useful information in the object and state that controls its behavior. Object oriented languages do not distinguish these two. We propose that by specifying these two, programs become clearer for people to write …
A Vector-Based Approach To Virtual Machine Arrangement, Nicholas Cerilli
A Vector-Based Approach To Virtual Machine Arrangement, Nicholas Cerilli
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Cloud based data centres benefit from minimizing operating costs and service level agreement violations. Vector-based data centre management policies have been shown to assist with these goals. Vector-based data centre management policies arrange virtual machines in a data centre to minimize the number of hosts being used which translates to greater power efficiency and reduced costs for the data centre overall. I propose an improved vector-based virtual machine arrangement algorithm with two novel additions, namely a technique that changes what it means for a host to be balanced and a concept that excludes undesirable target hosts, thereby improving the arrangement …
Brain Tumor Segmentation With Minimal User Assistance, Liqun Liu
Brain Tumor Segmentation With Minimal User Assistance, Liqun Liu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis, we propose a brain tumor segmentation system that requires only 4 clicks from users to specify a tight bounding box that completely contains the tumor.
We convert the segmentation problem to an energy minimization problem. We utilize the basic energy function that combines intensity appearance and boundary smoothness. Global and local appearance models are experimented and compared in our work.
The basic energy function does not assume any shape prior and thus leads to unrealistic shapes. We take the advantage of the fact that most of the tumors are approximately convex in shape and incorporate the star …
