Analysis Of Hardware Accelerated Deep Learning And The Effects Of Degradation On Performance, Samuel C. Leach
Analysis Of Hardware Accelerated Deep Learning And The Effects Of Degradation On Performance, Samuel C. Leach
Masters Theses
As convolutional neural networks become more prevalent in research and real world applications, the need for them to be faster and more robust will be a constant battle. This thesis investigates the effect of degradation being introduced to an image prior to object recognition with a convolutional neural network. As well as experimenting with methods to reduce the degradation and improve performance. Gaussian smoothing and additive Gaussian noise are both analyzed degradation models within this thesis and are reduced with Gaussian and Butterworth masks using unsharp masking and smoothing, respectively. The results show that each degradation is disruptive to the …

Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation studies the feature-based image comparison method and its application in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks.
Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs), formed by a large number of low-cost, small-size visual sensor nodes, represent a new trend in surveillance and monitoring practices. Although each single sensor has very limited capability in sensing, processing and transmission, by working together they can achieve various high level tasks. Sensor collaboration is essential to WVSNs and normally performed among sensors having similar measurements, which are called neighbor sensors. The directional sensing characteristics of imagers and the presence of visual occlusion present unique challenges to neighborhood …
