Smartphone Based Object Detection For Shark Spotting, Darrick W. Oliver
Smartphone Based Object Detection For Shark Spotting, Darrick W. Oliver
Master's Theses
Given concern over shark attacks in coastal regions, the recent use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, has increased to ensure the safety of beachgoers. However, much of city officials' process remains manual, with drone operation and review of footage still playing a significant role. In pursuit of a more automated solution, researchers have turned to the usage of neural networks to perform detection of sharks and other marine life. For on-device solutions, this has historically required assembling individual hardware components to form an embedded system to utilize the machine learning model. This means that the camera, neural processing …
A Novel Approach To Extending Music Using Latent Diffusion, Keon Roohparvar, Franz J. Kurfess
A Novel Approach To Extending Music Using Latent Diffusion, Keon Roohparvar, Franz J. Kurfess
Master's Theses
Using deep learning to synthetically generate music is a research domain that has gained more attention from the public in the past few years. A subproblem of music generation is music extension, or the task of taking existing music and extending it. This work proposes the Continuer Pipeline, a novel technique that uses deep learning to take music and extend it in 5 second increments. It does this by treating the musical generation process as an image generation problem; we utilize latent diffusion models (LDMs) to generate spectrograms, which are image representations of music. The Continuer Pipeline is able to …
