Precision Spraying Using Variable Time Delays And Vision-Based Velocity Estimation, Paolo Rommel Sanchez, Hong Zhang Oct 2023

Precision Spraying Using Variable Time Delays And Vision-Based Velocity Estimation, Paolo Rommel Sanchez, Hong Zhang

Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering Faculty Scholarship

Traditionally, precision farm equipment often relies on real-time kinematics and global positioning systems (RTK-GPS) for accurate position and velocity estimates. This approach proved effective and widely adopted in developed regions where RTK-GPS satellite and base station availability and visibility are not limited. However, RTK-GPS signal can be limited in farm areas due to topographic and economic constraints. Thus, this study developed a precision sprayer that estimated the travel velocity locally by tracking the relative motion of plants using a deep-learning-based machine vision system. Sprayer valves were then controlled by variable time delay (VTD) queuing and dynamic filtering. The proposed velocity …


Efficient Scopeformer: Towards Scalable And Rich Feature Extraction For Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection Using Hybrid Convolution And Vision Transformer Networks, Yassine Barhoumi Mar 2023

Efficient Scopeformer: Towards Scalable And Rich Feature Extraction For Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection Using Hybrid Convolution And Vision Transformer Networks, Yassine Barhoumi

Theses and Dissertations

The field of medical imaging has seen significant advancements through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The success of deep learning models in this area has led to the need for further research. This study aims to explore the use of various deep learning algorithms and emerging modeling techniques to improve training paradigms in medical imaging. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the go-to architecture for computer vision problems, but they have limitations in mapping long-term dependencies within images. To address these limitations, the study explores the use of techniques such as global average pooling and self-attention mechanisms. Additionally, the …


Emotion Recognition Using Facial Feature Extraction, Demiyan Smirnov Jul 2019

Emotion Recognition Using Facial Feature Extraction, Demiyan Smirnov

Theses and Dissertations

Computerized emotion recognition systems can be powerful tools to help solve problems in a wide range of fields including education, healthcare, and marketing. Existing systems use digital images or live video to track facial expressions on a person's face and deduce that person's emotional state. The research presented in this thesis explores combinations of several facial feature extraction techniques with different classifier algorithms. Namely, the feature extraction techniques used in this research were Discrete Cosine/Sine Transforms, Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform, Principle Component Analysis, and a novel method called XPoint. Features were extracted from both global (using the entire facial image) and …
