Metadata-Based Image Collecting And Databasing For Sharing And Analysis, Xi Wu Jan 2019

Metadata-Based Image Collecting And Databasing For Sharing And Analysis, Xi Wu

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

Data collecting and preparing is generally considered a crucial process in data science projects. Especially for image data, adding semantic attributes when preparing image data provides much more insights for data scientists. In this project, we aim to implement a general-purpose central image data repository that allows image researchers to collect data with semantic properties as well as data query. One of our researchers has come up with the specific challenge of collecting images with weight data of infants in least developed countries with limited internet access. The rationale is to predict infant weights based on image data by applying …

Human Robot Interaction With Cloud Assisted Voice Control And Vision System, Ravi Patel

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

The objective of this research is to investigate a way of interaction between humans and robots, which is through voice or speech commands. A Biomimetic Artificial Hand (BAH) is used as a platform to perform grasping tasks using human voice as an interacting and instructing medium between humans and robots. It is a hands-free approach of issuing commands to the BAH since it does not require the user to wear any specialized equipment. Previous research has shown difficulties in recognizing more than one word, database management for stored voice, and requirement of sufficient computing power. National Instruments software LabVIEW and …
