Utilizing Radiation For Smart Robotic Applications Using Visible, Thermal, And Polarization Images., Ali H. Mahmoud Aug 2014

Utilizing Radiation For Smart Robotic Applications Using Visible, Thermal, And Polarization Images., Ali H. Mahmoud

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The domain of this research is the use of computer vision methodologies in utilizing radiation for smart robotic applications for driving assistance. Radiation can be emitted by an object, reflected or transmitted. Understanding the nature and the properties of the radiation forming an image is essential in interpreting the information in that image which can then be used by a machine e.g. a smart vehicle to make a decision and perform an action. Throughout this work, different types of images are used to help a robotic vehicle make a decision and perform a certain action. This work presents three smart …

Three-Dimensional Modeling Of The Human Jaw/Teeth Using Optics And Statistics., Aly Saber Abdelrahim

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Object modeling is a fundamental problem in engineering, involving talents from computer-aided design, computational geometry, computer vision and advanced manufacturing. The process of object modeling takes three stages: sensing, representation, and analysis. Various sensors may be used to capture information about objects; optical cameras and laser scanners are common with rigid objects, while X-ray, CT and MRI are common with biological organs. These sensors may provide a direct or an indirect inference about the object, requiring a geometric representation in the computer that is suitable for subsequent usage. Geometric representations that are compact, i.e., capture the main features of the …
