Inventory Management Of The Refrigerator's Produce Bins Using Classification Algorithms And Hand Analysis., Sarah Virginia Morris
Inventory Management Of The Refrigerator's Produce Bins Using Classification Algorithms And Hand Analysis., Sarah Virginia Morris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Tracking the inventory of one’s refrigerator has been a mission for consumers since the advent of the refrigerator. With the improvement of computer vision capabilities, automatic inventory systems are within reach. One inventory area with many potential benefits is the fresh food produce bins. The bins are a unique storage area due to their deep size. A user cannot easily see what is in the bins without opening the drawer. Produce items are also some of the quickest foods in the refrigerator to spoil, despite being temperature and humidity controlled to have the fruits and vegetables last longer. Allowing the …
Leak Detection And Localization In Pressurized Space Structures Using Bayesian Inference: Theory And Practice, Joel Castro
Leak Detection And Localization In Pressurized Space Structures Using Bayesian Inference: Theory And Practice, Joel Castro
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Impact from micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD) can cause severe damage to space vehicles. The crew habitat can begin to leak precious oxygen, critical systems can be punctured causing fatal failures, and an accumulation of impacts by MMOD can decrease the lifetime of any and all devices in space. Due to these and other potential dangers, MMODs have been considered the third largest threat to spacecraft after launch and re-entry. Many satellites and other spacecraft face this very problem inherent in all space travel on a daily basis, but often times they can be repaired. A major hurdle is to …
Deep Siamese Neural Networks For Facial Expression Recognition In The Wild, Wassan Hayale
Deep Siamese Neural Networks For Facial Expression Recognition In The Wild, Wassan Hayale
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The variation of facial images in the wild conditions due to head pose, face illumination, and occlusion can significantly affect the Facial Expression Recognition (FER) performance. Moreover, between subject variation introduced by age, gender, ethnic backgrounds, and identity can also influence the FER performance. This Ph.D. dissertation presents a novel algorithm for end-to-end facial expression recognition, valence and arousal estimation, and visual object matching based on deep Siamese Neural Networks to handle the extreme variation that exists in a facial dataset. In our main Siamese Neural Networks for facial expression recognition, the first network represents the classification framework, where we …
Analysis Of Antenna Designs For The Maximum Power Transmission, Lauryn P. Smith
Analysis Of Antenna Designs For The Maximum Power Transmission, Lauryn P. Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since Nikola Tesla discovered wireless power transmission, it has become a very interesting topic of study in the antennas and wireless propagation community. Various aspects and applications for wireless power transmission are studied today, a few of which are investigated in this work. First, various antenna geometries are analyzed for radiative near-field wireless power transfer in terms of electrical field strength. It is determined that the meander antenna is ideal for maximum power transfer in its radiative near-field region, contrary to its far-field behavior. Next, in the application of radio frequency identification, a directive, UHF RFID tag antenna is designed …
Accurate Range-Based Indoor Localization Using Pso-Kalman Filter Fusion, Paul Bupe Jr
Accurate Range-Based Indoor Localization Using Pso-Kalman Filter Fusion, Paul Bupe Jr
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Accurate indoor localization often depends on infrastructure support for distance estimation in range-based techniques. One can also trade off accuracy to reduce infrastructure investment by using relative positions of other nodes, as in range-free localization. Even for range-based methods where accurate Ultra-WideBand (UWB) signals are used, non line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions pose significant difficulty in accurate indoor localization. Existing solutions rely on additional measurements from sensors and typically correct the noise using a Kalman filter (KF). Solutions can also be customized to specific environments through extensive profiling. In this work, a range-based indoor localization algorithm called PSO - Kalman Filter Fusion …
