Development Of Simulation Framework For Impact Analysis Of Launch Delays On Lunar Base Station, Giulio Cristello
Development Of Simulation Framework For Impact Analysis Of Launch Delays On Lunar Base Station, Giulio Cristello
Theses and Dissertations
Humans have not ventured beyond Earth since the days of the Apollo missions. NASA astronauts were the first and last to set foot on the lunar surface, and it is again thanks to NASA that the initiative to go back to the Moon is moving forward. The Artemis missions will land men and women on the lunar surface with the purpose of establishing a long-term presence on the Moon. The current Artemis Plan includes the Artemis Base Camp, a lunar base stationed on the lunar South Pole. The maintenance of the base will require frequent missions to be performed in …
Computational Speed Improvement Of The Well Optimized Linear Finder (Wolf) Transfer Function Estimation Methodology For Phase-Diverse Atmospheric Turbulence Compensation (Atc) Applications Using Pre-Calculated, Parallel Complex Exponential Phase Difference Chains, Erlin He
Theses and Dissertations
The Well-Optimized Linear Finder (WOLF) high-speed, phase-dominant, transfer function estimation method was developed by Professor William W. Arrasmith at Florida Institute of Technology. The novel, high-speed, transfer function estimation method is robust and can be applied to atmospheric turbulence compensation (ATC)/blind deconvolution optical imaging problems. The WOLF methodology uses a diversitybased approach with an adapted error metric to quickly remove effects of atmospheric turbulence and system noise effects present in an incoherent, optical imaging system. In this research, we improve performance of the WOLF algorithm by investigating the impact of applying parallel processing technology to pre-calculate an expanding set of …
Model-Based Operational Performance Evaluation Of Augmented Reality Applications In Supported Employment Training, Ruo Lun Pan
Model-Based Operational Performance Evaluation Of Augmented Reality Applications In Supported Employment Training, Ruo Lun Pan
Theses and Dissertations
Supported employment is a service provided by social enterprises to help persons with disabilities (PWD) to assimilate into their work environment and maintain their jobs for as long as possible. Social enterprises that provide such services are able to receive incentives from the government but they still rely on a limited funding. Augmented reality (AR) has been tested in various fields such as remote support and training employees, including PWDs. This thesis aims to evaluate the operational performance of augmented reality in supported employment using a model-based systems engineering approach paired with a simulation model. The simulation model evaluates three …
Complexity Analysis And Parallel Implementation Of The Well Optimized Linear Finder (Wolf) Atmospheric Turbulence Compensation (Atc) Algorithm On Gpu Technology With Comparative Analysis Of Traditional Phase Diverse Atc Methods, Yang Xin
Theses and Dissertations
A new high-speed, high-accuracy general transfer function estimation method for diversitybased problems, known as the Well Optimized Linear Finder Algorithm (WOLF Algorithm), has been developed [1]. Compared to the traditional phase diversity ATC methods, the WOLF Algorithm has less computational complexity and better approximation of the Optical Transfer Function (OTF) and consequently the entrance pupil phases. We compare the time complexity between the traditional Phase Diversity atmospheric turbulence compensation approach and the WOLF Algorithm. The results show that the WOLF Algorithm is dramatically faster than traditional phase diversity methods theoretically. We also implement the time complexity results of the WOLF …
