Characterization Of Hyperspectral Imagers, Jonathon Michael Wade
Characterization Of Hyperspectral Imagers, Jonathon Michael Wade
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technology that captures three dimensions of information, two spatial dimensions and a spectral dimension. A focal plane, which is used to collect the intensity information of a scene, is only two-dimensional. In a conventional camera this is not a problem as it collects only two-dimensional images, but since hyperspectral imagers collect three-dimensional images this presents a problem. How do you collect these three-dimensional images? There have been clever schemes to use the focal plane to collect three-dimensional data as well as different capture methods which make either a spatial or spectral dimension the third dimension …

Coping With Complexity In Water Management: Lessons From Palestine, Emily Mckee
Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship
In this article, I examine the role of applied anthropology in coping with common water management dilemmas and in facilitating more equitable water management. Field research and interviews with Palestinian residents and water managers between 2012–2020 illuminate deep disagreements about two commonly used management tools: full-cost recovery pricing reforms and supply expansion through emerging water technologies. This case demonstrates that not only are there limits to the transportability of solutions across societies, but even within a society and among seemingly similar stakeholders, fundamental disagreement exists about a place’s water priorities and proper interventions. How do we explain the multiplicity of …

Introduction: Like heart rate, blood pressure (BP) is not steady but varies over intervals as long as months to as short as consecutive cardiac cycles. This blood pressure variability (BPV) consists of regularly occurring oscillations as well as less well-organized changes and typically is computed as the standard deviation of multiple clinic visit-to-visit (VVV-BP) measures or from 24-h ambulatory BP recordings (ABPV). BP also varies on a beat-to-beat basis, quantified by methods that parse variation into discrete bins, e.g., low frequency (0.04–0.15 Hz, LF). However, beat-to-beat BPV requires continuous recordings that are not easily acquired. As a result, we …

Hypergraph-Based Multi-Robot Task And Motion Planning, James Motes, Tan Chen, Timothy Bretl, Marco Morales Aguirre, Nancy M. Amato
Michigan Tech Publications
In this article, we present a multi-robot task and motion planning method that, when applied to the rearrangement of objects by manipulators, results in solution times up to three orders of magnitude faster than the existing methods and successfully plans for problems with up to 20 objects, more than three times as many objects as comparable methods. We achieve this improvement by decomposing the planning space to consider manipulators alone, objects, and manipulators holding objects. We represent this decomposition with a hypergraph where vertices are decomposed elements of the planning spaces and hyperarcs are transitions between elements. The existing methods …

Structured Illumination Microscope Image Reconstruction Using Unrolled Physics-Informed Generative Adversarial Network (Upigan), Seyedeh Parisa Dajkhosh
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
In three-dimensional structured illumination microscopy (3D-SIM) where the images are taken from the object through the point spread function (PSF) of the imaging system, data acquisition can result in images taken under undesirable aberrations that contribute to a model mismatch. The inverse imaging problem in 3D-SIM has been solved using a variety of conventional model-based techniques that can be computationally intensive. Deep learning (DL) approaches, as opposed to traditional restoration methods, tackle the issue without access to the analytical model. This research aims to provide an unrolled physics-informed generative adversarial network (UPIGAN) for the reconstruction of 3D-SIM images utilizing data …
