3d Alchemy: A Guide To 3d Realistic Computer Graphics, Ching-Pei B. Han
3d Alchemy: A Guide To 3d Realistic Computer Graphics, Ching-Pei B. Han
Theses
Last year, many films and commercials took advantage of computer technology to create astonishing 3D animations. Examples such as the Listerine commercial series, the NBA logo on TV, and the Chip & Pepper TV cartoon, featured unique and vibrant computer images. Among the various animations, some were made by high end computer systems, but some simply by personal computers. Small, fast, and more capable personal computers are now performing professional-level video production roles and, in fact, they are a staple of many feature film productions and broadcast television facilities.

Theses
The purpose of my thesis is to present Virtual Reality as a tool in aiding Education. I used the Macintosh computer as the driving base of my project, and configured inexpensive commercially available computer peripherals as input devices. I investigated the effectiveness with which virtual worlds can present information, as well as studied the use of low cost software, input devices and drivers currently avail able on the Macintosh Computer. In addition, this thesis describes the strength, weaknesses and concerns involving the use of Virtual Reality in learning and the limitations of the current technology.
An Investigation On Bubble Departure In Subcooled Flow Boiling, Brian J. Stumm
An Investigation On Bubble Departure In Subcooled Flow Boiling, Brian J. Stumm
Theses
A summary of the major theoretical models available for departure diameter prediction in sub-cooled flow boiling is presented. A new model is developed to predict the forces acting on a bubble at the instance of departure by introducing a control volume approach for the front and the rear halves of the bubble. The predictions from the model are compared with experimental data obtained in the Thermal Analysis Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Rochester Institute of Technology. Two competing mechanisms are identified as being responsible for bubble departure. To obtain clear evidence of the dominate mechanism, high speed photography …

Morphological Filter Mean-Absolute-Error Representation Theorems And Their Application To Optimal Morphological Filter Design, Robert P. Loce
Morphological Filter Mean-Absolute-Error Representation Theorems And Their Application To Optimal Morphological Filter Design, Robert P. Loce
Theses
The present thesis derives error representations and develops design methodologies for optimal mean-absolute-error (MAE) morphological-based filters. Four related morphological-based filter-types are treated. Three are translation-invariant, monotonically increasing operators, and our analysis is based on the Matheron (1975) representation. In this class we analyze conventional binary, conventional gray-scale, and computational morphological filters. The fourth filter class examined is that of binary translation invariant operators. Our analysis is based on the Banon and Barrera (1991) representation and hit-or-miss operator of Serra (1982). A starting point will be the optimal morphological filter paradigm of Dougherty (1992a,b) whose analysis de scribes the optimal filter …

The Unified School, Roderick Martinez
Theses
It is the mission of this thesis to explore the portrayal of information as we know it. The graphic design industry of today is undergoing major changes, both good and bad. It is important to unlock the potential of these new opportunities, but more importantly we must not let ourselves forget our roots. This project exemplifies the harnessing of modern technology and the implementation of modern design processes. I believe that I have discovered some new aspects of portraying and organizing information by intensely involving myself in the process of this thesis project. Hence, the poster is transcended to offer …
Design Of A Hardware Efficient Key Generation Algorithm With A Vhdl Implementation, James A. Goeke
Design Of A Hardware Efficient Key Generation Algorithm With A Vhdl Implementation, James A. Goeke
Theses
The design and implementation of a key-generation algorithm will be discussed. The steps in the procedure consist of choosing a baseline algorithm for comparison, designing a new algorithm, testing and comparing the algorithms using C language programs, and then implementing the new algorithm using VHDL. The final result of testing the algorithm implemented in VHDL will be compared to the original results obtained from the C program implementing the new algorithm. C language programs of the chosen algorithms will be developed to verify their similarity and functionality. The results will be used to decide if the new algorithm selected for …
A Metaphysical And Linguistic Approach To Type Design And Typography, Ivan Terestschenko Rocha
A Metaphysical And Linguistic Approach To Type Design And Typography, Ivan Terestschenko Rocha
Theses
Significant changes have taken place in the type design as a result of what has often been termed "the desktop revolution." With the popularization and increased availability to the average person of typographic tools formerly available only to professionals type is slowly moving into the realm of personal communication. This move has sparked significant controversy among the various schools of typographic thought, but little consensus exists. As well, technological developments are contributing to a widening of the definition of what constitutes a typeface. This study, then, will examine the current views of type design as an art form and the …
Global Housekeepers, Mary Arp
Global Housekeepers, Mary Arp
Theses
It all began with a small, clipped image from a 1940' s Good Housekeeping magazine. There she was: a two inch tall housewife, prim in both her apron and hair style. Her arms were extended: one for balance and one with a cloth for cleaning. I took this "cleaning woman" image to Kinko ' s , the 24 -hour copy center where I spend too much time. There, I made successive photocopies and enlargements until I had a stack of grainy, obviously mechanically reproduced "drawings". Back in the studio, with a 4B charcoal pencil and paper, I vigorously drew backgrounds …
Optical Signal Processing And Real World Applications, Patrick Naulleau
Optical Signal Processing And Real World Applications, Patrick Naulleau
Theses
It is common to want to correct signals that have been corrupted by wideband dispersion. If the dispersion is caused by a system whose transfer function has a flat amplitude function and a nonlinear phase function, such as is the case with a ltig periodic antenna, the signal can be corrected via a matched filter. In this paper various optical implementations of the matched filter, including one and two dimensional systems, are investigated. The 2D Fourier Filter, along with several simplifications, demonstrating its power, are simulated. The optical implementations of these systems are also discussed. The problem of phase detection …

Perkins Green Iii: Proposed Married And Graduate Student Housing, Chou-Tein Lin
Theses
When I first came to Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T.) to study in the graduate program, I settled in an apartment supported by the school, because I was a new-comer and knew nothing about the surroundings. Racquet Club, a housing complex five minutes from school, is a 307-unit-townhouse-apartment, student housing area with three tennis courts and one large grass slope as its open space. I was very satisfied by this beautiful scene and thought it would be a good place to live and study. Later, however, I found sometimes, especially on weekends, there was too much noise from parties taking …
An Uncertainty Analysis Of A Color Tolerance Database, Mitchell Balonon-Rosen
An Uncertainty Analysis Of A Color Tolerance Database, Mitchell Balonon-Rosen
Theses
A database designed to develop, evaluate and compare color-difference formulae, particularly for use within the suprathreshold industrial-sized range, so named for its importance in many commercial transactions, has been under development at the Munsell Color Science Laboratory. The database consists of two independent data sets, previously published. The sets and the experimental conditions under which they were derived were analyzed to determine the appropriateness of pooling the data. The earlier of the two studies had associated statistics which indicated a population of highly precise observers. The latter study's population displayed a significantly greater level of uncertainty. The current work concluded …

The members of the control group were taught the system by an instructor, while the members of the experimental group were taught the system by the aforementioned training manual. Both …
The Effect Of Flashing In Reducing The Tonal Range Of A Transparency For Photomechanical Reproduction, Bader N. Al-Hajji
The Effect Of Flashing In Reducing The Tonal Range Of A Transparency For Photomechanical Reproduction, Bader N. Al-Hajji
Theses
Photographic processing and lithographic printing reproduction are two different processes. In photography, the transparency reproduces the original scene in continuous tone. Whereas, in lithographic printing, the reproduction is a result of an all-or-nothing process. A transparency may have a tonal range that exceeds the range that can be reproduced in lithographic printing. So tone compression is performed on transparencies that exceed the tonal range for printing. Avoiding tone compression during lithographic production results in considerable savings in cost and time. One of the methods to reduce tonal range is for the photographer to understand the relationship between emulsion flashing and …
Conversion Of Solid Ink Density And Dot Gain Specifications Into Colorimetric Specifications, Theera Tangvichachan
Conversion Of Solid Ink Density And Dot Gain Specifications Into Colorimetric Specifications, Theera Tangvichachan
Theses
With the advent of the spectrophotometer as an alternative to the densitometer for pressroom applications, it becomes desirable to use a single three-color overprint halftone gray patch for controlling color on the press. As a consequence, the need for new specifications in colorimetric units, rather than SID and dot gain units, arises. The purpose of this study was to conduct a mathematical conversion of the traditional SID and dot gain specifications into the colorimetric specifications, in terms of the CIELAB coordinates. The FIPP dot gain and SID specifications were applied to the gray patch contained in the Gretag CMS3 color …
A Laboratory Study Of Ink Splitting Forces At Different Film Thicknesses And An Investigation Of The Stefan Equation, Tso-Pei Hsieh
A Laboratory Study Of Ink Splitting Forces At Different Film Thicknesses And An Investigation Of The Stefan Equation, Tso-Pei Hsieh
Theses
Ink tack is a term used by printers to describe the force required to split an ink film. Such film splitting is influenced by rheological and adhesive properties as well as the internal cohesion of ink. Furthermore, the concept of ink tack in printing is associated with the forces or energy developed in the splitting of ink film at the exit of a printing nip. Stefan studied the forces required to split a thin film. He found that the force required to split a thin film is inversely proportional to the cube of the thickness of that film. This association …
The Effects Of Fluctuations In Solid Ink Density On Color Variation For Conventional And Grey Component Replacement Separations When Printing Process Color On Newsprint, Eric Matthew Pawlow
The Effects Of Fluctuations In Solid Ink Density On Color Variation For Conventional And Grey Component Replacement Separations When Printing Process Color On Newsprint, Eric Matthew Pawlow
Theses
A color separation technique known as Gray Component Replacement, or GCR has been an option available to high-end drum scanner operators for the past eight years. Recently, GCR has been made available by lower-end color system vendors as well. GCR consists of removing the least predominant process color ink in a unit area, reducing the remaining colored inks by the same amount and replacing the "gray component" of the color with black ink. One of the reported benefits of the GCR technique is that more consistency can be realized during a pressrun. If this is in fact true, the first …

Influence Of Ink Sequence On Color's Hue And Saturation In Four Color Halftone Screen Printing, Aristotelis Platon Bougàs
Influence Of Ink Sequence On Color's Hue And Saturation In Four Color Halftone Screen Printing, Aristotelis Platon Bougàs
Theses
The screen printing process has been the least understood and studied versus other imaging methods in the graphic arts industry. As equipment configurations improve and a continuous technological development and need for high quality output persists, this fascinating process becomes increasingly popular in several end-use applications. Such as in packaging, labeling, durable graphic films printing and even short run large format halftone graphics. There is a serious need for further deep scientific analysis of the process and its variables. One of the poorly investigated sides of the four color screen printing is the effect that ink placement has to the …

Simulation Of A Morphological Image Processor Using Vhdl - Part Ii: Control Mechanism, Hao Chen
Theses
Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is utilized in this project to model a Morphological Image Processor (MIP) Array. Both behavioral and structural models have been established at the system level, and the simulation results from both models are consistent with each other. The successful implementation of the models accomplishes our original goal to document the MIP with VHDL. It is observed from the project that VHDL is a powerful language. It is flexible since it can be used to model any level of a system independent of the technology.
